I had an incredible meal here! The makki ki rotis were hands-down the best I have ever had—unbelievably soft and rolled so perfectly thin, unlike any I've eaten before. On top of that, the kulchas were absolutely amazing. Highly recommended for anyone craving authentic, top-notch food!

Awesome food- Amritsari kulcha was too good, the makhan that came with it was yummy. The sarso ka saag and makke di roti was also good. Authentic Indian taste. Brar sab is an awesome cook. For the first time after eating food in the US- I made a comment I need to take the chef home. Will definitely come back here again.

Here's my review for Mehfil:
Mehfil has quickly become my go-to spot, and it's all thanks to their Amritsari Kulcha. This dish alone is worth the trip — the kulcha was perfectly crisp and flaky on the outside, generously stuffed with a well-spiced potato filling and paneer that's soft without being mushy. It's brushed with butter and served piping hot straight off and paired with a tangy chole and a cooling dollop of yogurt that balances out the spice beautifully.
I've tried Amritsari kulchas at several places around the MVA area, and none of them come close to what Mehfil is doing. A lot of spots either skimp on the filling or over-fry the bread, but Mehfil nails the texture and flavor every single time. You can tell there's real care in the preparation — it tastes authentic, like something you'd get straight out of a dhaba in Amritsar.
Beyond the kulcha, the service is warm and the place has a cozy, unpretentious vibe that makes it easy to become a regular. If you're anywhere near the MVA area and haven't tried the Amritsari Kulcha at Mehfil yet, you're genuinely missing out. Highly recommend.

If you love indian food this is the place to go in the Sterling, VA area!
The waiters are very nice and helpful, food is amazing and everything tastes made from scratch, like a home cooked meal.
Naan, rice, starter, drinks, and entrees were all amazing! Will definitely be back, amazing local restaurant all around!
This restaurant had excellent quality when it opened in Sterling but over the year the quality and quantity has deteriorated drastically. We have returned to them hoping that may it was one of the days when it was busy, but consistently the quality had been disappointing. Yesterday's take out will be the last time we buy from this restaurant ever. The kulcha was salty, the lassi was watered down, nothing like a Punjabi lassi, the chicken dish hardly had any chicken pieces, the paneer dish wasn't any good. Everything had to be just discarded and we had to buy from a different restaurant for dinner. For the price they charge, I wouldn't recommend it.
