Lemon Cuisine of India

Excellent

The order was cancelled without notifying me. I will never use eat street again as we?ve had way too many issues and no compensation for them. I no longer have any faith the food will come if I order through eat street

The food was great.

Love the seafood masala and grilled salmon with masala.

The food was excellent as always. Seafood Masala (3 choices) and Grilled Herb Salmon.

Raita was missing

I freaking love Lemon!!

We received a confirmation that the order. Went through but the restaurant had no record of it. We had to place the order again when we got there and did. Or get everything we paid for.

As usual the food was fantastic

We have been ordering from this restaurant for many years. Our last 2 orders, both entrees were too spicy for us to eat and we asked for mild. The sides are always too spicy. Looking for a new Indian restaurant for future orders.

Fantastic as always

They are usually very good. But messed my order this time. I ordered hot but received barely any spice. Also the masala was subpar compared to their normal standard. Might have just been a bad batch? It happens. Overall still my favorite Desi restaurant.

Lemon has become a weekly staple for me. Food never disappoints.

My favorite restaurant in Richmond!

The flavor was good but they really skimped on the amount of chicken they gave us. Really disappointing.

The food was excellent. The kitchen was slow.

We ordered vegetable samosas to start, with entrees Rogan Josh and Chicken Masala and Raita and Puri on the side. Everything was excellent, the best we've had in a long time from Lemon or any other Indian restaurant. Everything was so fresh an flavorful. Whoever was in the kitchen did a great job! I wish the delivery person had been as proficient. They left our food outside the condo building door in the cold evening. Fortunately I was anticipating their arrival so it only sat outside for about 5 minutes before I found it. Despite their lazy attitude, the food was a treat.

Had dietary questions and called the restaurant a couple times for clarification and the staff were absolutely wonderful! Super helpful! The food was amazing and I HIGHLY recommend!

Excellent food! Love the place

The food is excellent always. However , the turnover of employees is evident and consistency of service can be an issue and communication. If it were not for your best employee who has been with you a very long time who is obviously loyal, knowledgeable, polite, welcoming, friendly and just overall makes coming to your restaurant a joy when he?s there , without TIMOTHY your restaurant would fail on days without him. I see him helping everyone whether clarifying orders, communicating clearly with diners, training , cleaning, and more this place would be a MESS. Please acknowledge him as your star with pay that reflects alllllll that he does. You have a rare gem with you. Honor him and your restaurant will get even higher reviews for service.

Ordered take-out. It was ready on time. It was tasty and still hot when I unpacked it at home. Enjoyed it very much. Thank you!

Biryani was great. Vegetable Korma was not, it tasted like a packet of frozen veggies were used.

it's superb curry and excellent friendly service.

Great food, tasty, right spice level and fair price.

The side yellow custard had mold on it.

The food tastes great, as always. Our order was missing some sauces that went with the apps.

Placed an order online and said it be ready in 35mins. Went to pick it up and waited another 70 mins! Unbelievable and there was a bunch of people in the same boat.

The food was delicious but mixed up a little. We ordered one hot entree and one mild, but the mild order was made hot and the one that was supposed to be hot was made mild. Also, there was a substitution made of salmon for scallops. I guess they were out of scallops.

I ordered sweet lassi but it was replaced with mango lassi

Best food around!

Lemon is normally excellent, so I?m hesitant to leave this review. But the naan was a bit hard and really cold (not even room temp) this time. And the one of the kheer was congealed and goopy. I think maybe the milk curdled? It wasn?t edible, which was sad b/c that?s my favorite of the meal.

Unfortunately we had to cancel the order. They were short staffed and people had been waiting for their food for hours. We waited about an hour and decided to cancel.

Always good food from Lemon.

Delicious and enough for a couple of extra meals.

It was very unclear as to where the online order pickup station was. When I asked the host was curt with me, as if I was annoying her. After waiting about 5 minutes she came in and asked the three of us waiting for our names. I tell her Alex. A few more minutes pass and she brings out all the food, and she exasperatedly asked me ?Alexander?? And I say, oh yeah that?s me sorry. She passive aggressively says ?well please tell me the whole name? and looks angry. So I understand I told her my nickname, but I don?t even remember entering my name on the website, not to mention, it?s not as if there were five other people named Alex, Alexa, Alexander, and Alexandra all there. No reason to be rude, as I did apologize for the tiny amount of confusion. Then I got home and realized my food was wrong. I got salmon instead of chicken. It tasted fine and I ate it, but this meal for two people was $50, I just want the order to be correct. And it was printed correctly on the receipt.

Food was incredibly good (always delicious), but one part of our order was missing and my husband had to wait over an hour at the restaurant to pick-up our food. It was supposed to be ready at 645 and he was not able to get it until almost 8p.

Very good experience. The restaurant hours are a little cumbersome when trying to pickup at 5pm. There's no pre order option between the hours of 2p and 5p. It's a little disconcerting to need to wait until 5p to even make the order. However, everything else was great.

The food was good but we received our food an hour from when it was supposed to be ready.

Great food, worst service of all time

Love love love this place. Food is always phenomenal, staff is always friendly, it?s a gem

Missing part of my order. Went back inside. They didn?t believe me and made me bring my food back in to look through my bag.

waited almost a hour for to go order

Food was so delicious

I love Lemon. The food is always delicious. This time we ordered, most of our food was missing. We had to go back to get it. They didn't offer any extra food or refund or anything.

There were bugs in the food so threw it out.

Fantastic food! Great flavor, great spiciness, great timeliness!

Food was not according to indian taste

Food was to be ready at 7:19. It was not Handed to me until nearly 8 pm. I overpaid for that dal - and it was terrible. The order was held due to an appetizer I was finally told. When I asked for the appetizer to just Be removed, it was replaced with something else. No adjustment to bill. Restaurant guy actually offered me a drink while I was waiting. I accepted - and he never brought it. I will not go back to Lemon (we?d been before). Nor will I use EatStreet, which apparently takes the order then washes its hands of the user.

Poor management, the individual working the counter was overwhelmed by online ordering and organizing orders. We waited an hour for our food. More than anything I blame individuals using the online delivery services, and the mismanagement of the restaurant for not organizing properly. This isn?t a problem at just this restaurant though. It?s a problem everywhere right now. Online delivery services are crippling the industry.

Food was fabulous and fragrant - Seafood biryani.
