I contribute Haandi, located in Falls Church, on the main street (is it Broad street?).  I've only been there twice (excellent both times).  A window full of "best-of-washington" type awards is also a good sign.

The Bombay Bistro on Rte. 123 between I-66 and 50/29 is now open; its sign advertises a luncheon buffet for $5.95.  I believe that this is $1 less than the buffets at Connaught Place and Gandhi (two other restaurants of this genre in Fairfax City).

Cafe Taj in McLean is nice too and has a very pleasant atmosphere.
