Lehja

Very good food! Ordered my staple, Butter Chicken medium and Garlic Naan and a sparkling water (typically SP or Benedetto but to my surprise they had Voss). Chicken was VERY tender which is not the usual for tandoori and the flavors were exceptional. Only miss was the heat. I order medium (although hot I can handle) as I wanted to preserve the flavors. It was definitely hot. The naan was also very good.

I ordered a starter, main course and gulab jamun. The starters and main course were pretty good in taste. But the gulab jamun wasn't good at all, it was rubbery when I ate it and it felt that it wasn't even fresh, they had just warmed it up and served it to me. Really disappointed with the quality of gulab jamun. Overall the food is very expensive. The good service was commendable, I feel the person taking the order should have shown some welcoming nature.

One of the better Indian restaurants I’ve been to! Service and atmosphere were both great. The food was very delicious! If you can handle your heat, I’d recommend a level 4. We got their gobi Manchurian, chicken tikka masala, chicken tikka (no gravy) and palak paneer. It was all very delicious! Would recommend this place!

Excellent dinner this evening with my brother at Lehja. We sat outside since the weather was so nice. We ordered Gobi Manchurian as an appetizer. Very delicious and unique spice profile compared to other Gobi Manchurian I have tried. For our main course we ordered Banarsi vegetables, kofta chaman dilkhush, and garlic naan. All spice levels were level 3 of max 5. The spice profiles were excellent for both the vegetables and kofta entrees. Lehja has very distinct flavors which I love and appreciate. Service was good. Garlic naan was delicious. Overall, a flavorful, relaxed, and excellent dinner. I will return if I am in Richmond again.

We went for Friday night dinner and ordered few of my staple fav (kala chana goat cheese tikki) and tried few new dishes ( methi malai corn). This was the first time i took my mother there. She was on her first trip to richmond and really liked the food and taste. She was very happy with the owner as he got her special shikanji mocktail without ice and also shared the story of how they added methi malai makai dish on the menu.. Great experience..

It was good, we went for lunch. With lunch, you get rice and naan bread and soup or salad. We got the soup and it was very good. My husband got butter chicken and said it was good, I got punjabi chicken, and it was good, but I felt like it was a little watered down. I'll stick to my traditional curry. Our waiter Ajay was good and helpful.

Me and my wife were in Short Pump and we were in the mood for Some Indian cuisine. The restaurant was empty because they were about to close after lunch hours but i glad it was because the food came out fast, delicious and fresh. This was our first time here and it was a great experience, the waiter was great and friendly. We will definitely be back again because everything was great.

Well. Both myself and my wife in our fifties. We are from Kashmir. We have eaten, cooked and sampled ALL varieties of Asian foods all our lives. Enter Lehja. To say we immensely enjoyed our dinner would be a huge understatement. Parking is plentiful. The restaurant is clean with classy ambience. We were served immediately and our drinks were on our table within 5 minutes of being seated. (my pet peeve...having to wait around for a waiter to take our drink order). Started with the most delectable gobi manchurian served on a delicious tomato sauce patina. My wife's cocktail Princess of Kashmir was slurpily delicious. The tomato soup was tangy, coconutty and downright obscenely decadent. We shared a mango lassi so delicious that we saved it for dessert. The wine list is several pages long and boasts as being one of the top in the US. Main course...my tandoori lamb chops had that special char that can only be tasted not described. My wife's saag paneer and Dal Lehja were sublime. The garlic naan and anchari paratha were finely textured and rich and literally melt in the mouth. My Malvani Rassa Goat was replete with nuanced flavors unlike anything I have ever eaten and I've been eating goat all my life. And the icing on the cake was the humility and grace of the owner, Sunny, who took personal pleasure in going around the tables and speaking to the diners. A real life true blue American success story. Well, finally, I feel nothing is more telling than the fact that we went back for another evening of pure gluttony the very next day. This time we had the Dal Makhani, Firecracker Chicken, Duck A La Pondicherry and the Goat Biryani all quite exquisite once again. A must eat restaurant in Short Pump, Richmond, VA.

I loved it! Me and my boyfriend went for my birthday on Memorial Day. It was warm, nice, and beautiful inside and out. As soon as I walked in I noticed familiar music! We were seated and served greatly too. I wish I remembered our server's name but he wore these cute little suspenders and he recommend so many things he suggested a drink. I was just turning 21 and very excited to order my first one, it was soooooo good tasted just like mango juice (with a spunk). The drink presentation was amazing and so were his other recommendations for the “flourless chocolate cake” I believe that was the name. And he wrote happy birthday for me on my plate ! The chocolate it was so rich I wanted to eat slowly 😭 my boyfriend and I could barely get a picture the food looked so good we dug in immediately but here’s what we were able to capture! (The owner was so amazing he also came to our table. I knew I was going to write a great review when he came and talked to us.he didn’t tell me he was the owner but I just knew the way he carried himself and the way he spoke he HAD to be) great service great food great looks and great music 😭that rice!?!? Let me tell you😍😍😍

I have been to this place multiple times with family. But my last visit was a business gathering. Loved the manager coming and explaining the story and nuances on food. Loved the wine tasting as part of the full course meal. Ambience was good. Loved the chicken,tuna sushi with bhel, kachori, loved the Indian food with international touch . Loved the evening dinner.
