    Wonderful food, our server was kind, efficient and friendly. The 7PM crowd noise level was fairly high. Quieted down by 7:45.

    Tulsi is my go-to for Indian! The food is great and I love that you can choose the spice/heat level - mine is always medium-hot and it's always perfect. I also really appreciate that whether you're eating in or getting take-out, everyone is very friendly and nice. Plus the place smells wonderful the minute you step into the dining room!
    TulsiResponded on April 15, 2025
    Thank you so much, Patrice! We're honored to be your go-to spot for Indian cuisine. We're thrilled to hear that the spice level hits just right and that you've consistently had a great experience, whether dining in or taking out. Your kind words about our food, service, and unforgettable aroma mean the world to us. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

    We celebrated a birthday and enjoyed every minute. We arrived early for our reservation but were seared immediately. We lucked out with a roomy booth by the big people watching window! Our server was very nice. We started with a round of drinks and toasted the birthday girl. Our appetizer was vegetable Samoa… delicious! We enjoyed fantastic dishes of various spice levels. Tulsi is always at the top of our list when we’re in Richmond!!

    Well- I must say this was the 1st time we have been disappointed with Tulsi. We were celebrating my son's birthday, and this was the restaurant he choose because we have always had such a good experience here in the past. We were sat down and ordered drinks and apps relatively quickly but then, once the appetizers came, it was forever before anyone came back to our table to check on us and take our main entree order. We ordered several dishes to share with the bread basket. The bread basket arrived in a reasonable time but without our entrees and the entrees took too long. Once they finally arrived, we had only cold naan and paratha to eat with the entrees- just not the same service we expect from Tullsi- certainly hoping this is not a new normal

    Absolutely amazing service. I came here with my friend during Ramadan and the server provided dates and lots of water. He even spoke a little bit of Arabic which just made the whole experience so good. Not to mention, the food was phenomenal.
