Celebration by Rupa Vira - Modern Indian Cuisine

We had an amazing experience at Rupa Vira. We ordered two Gujarati thalis along with Khandvi. While we were a little disappointed that the khandvi was sweet, the thali itself was excellent. It included 4–5 puris, puran poli, three sabzis (undhiyu, mixed kathol, and tindola), three farsans (misal, khaman, and dahi vada), desserts like shrikhand and kheer, along with kadhi, rice, papad, and pickle. Everything tasted great and had an authentic Gujarati flavor.

We went to Celebration by Rupa Vira for the Memorial Day lunch buffet and overall had a renice experience. The place looks beautiful, and the staff were warm and welcoming. We were seated right away and went straight for the buffet. All four of us are vegetarians, so we focused on the vegetarian options. Started with the appetizers, which included the usual Gujarati items, North Indian chaats, and similar dishes. Everything was pretty decent and enjoyable. The fresh naan served at the table was definitely a highlight. All three types of naan were excellent, and straight from the oven. The vegetarian curries were good as well, and the desserts were decent too, though,I prefer the serving size of parfait type dish was a bit bigger that the tiny sized containers. I just wished they were little bit more vegetarian options ,especially with rice items. Overall, we had a good time and enjoyed the meal. Would I be craving to go back immediately? Maybe not right away, but it was still a pleasant buffet experience and worth trying.

We loved the vibe here, as well as the creative and whimsical plating of some of the dishes. We enjoyed Celebration's version of Aam Panna, and really loved their Tropical Glow pani puri. Another standout item for us was the Aloo Mirch- excellent flavor. They were very clear on vegan options and we felt well cared for by staff.

I recently visited Celebration by Rupa Vira, and it was an incredible experience! The first thing that stood out to me was how clean and beautiful the restaurant was. The ambiance was warm and modern, giving it a contemporary yet authentic feel. This is Indian food reimagined in a modern way. Every dish we tried was packed with flavor, and beautifully presented, and you could taste the attention to detail in every bite. Whether you're a fan of traditional Indian dishes or looking to explore new flavors, this place is a must-visit. On top of that, the service was fantastic! Our server, Neil, was attentive, and friendly, and made sure we had a great dining experience from start to finish. Highly recommend it for anyone wanting a fresh take on Indian cuisine in a lovely setting!

I just found something seriously unique 😍 Tried their lotus root stem chaat — never had anything like this before… super crispy, tangy, and addictive 🤤 And the kurkuri tikki? Perfect crunch with so much flavor! Biriyani flavorful and tasty! the real showstopper 👇 Their rabadi celebration dessert with 23 carat gold flakes 😳✨ — rich, royal, and totally worth it! And yes… don’t skip the mocktails 🍹 — refreshing and perfectly paired with all this goodness! If you’re in DMV, this place is a must-visit for something different and premium 💯

We had a great dinner on a Sunday evening. Food was great, the amazing flavors and the aromas you can’t get anywhere else but from great Indian food. We will definitely return to try their Sunday brunch buffet.

Ate Sunday brunch of appetizers, vegetarian ans meat entrees like chicken. Food was medium spicy and delicious. Had three desserts with moong dal have an and gulab Jamin along with small cup of dessert. Fresh naan or roti were served. Dosa station to make fresh dosa with vegetarian and cheese with spices. Loved it. Will definitely come again.

Came here for restaurant week and food overall was very good. The chicken was just two small pieces but the sauce was very tasty. The lamb stew was tender and both dishes went really well with their garlic naan.
