Virraaj Indian Cuisine

Mr. Vikas Kakkar and Mr. Raj Manroy, Owners

We grew up with stories of old-world charm set against the backdrop of beautiful Indian cities. In early 2000s, we moved to the States, with a zeal to leave our impact on the world. Never thought that our struggle could give birth to something as beautiful as Virraaj. We always drew inspiration from the things that were closest to our hearts. From treasured anecdotes about the aromas of biryani to memories of our families devouring flavourful Indian dishes, even in the States, we could never forget those precious moments, not that we ever wanted to. During our lunches and dinners, we realized that a lot of our friends were open to trying Indian dishes but there was a lack of awareness. So we thought why not share our love of nutritious and wholesome food with the rest of the world. After being friends for almost 2 decades, we agreed on opening a fine dining restaurant at one of the finest locations, Bethesda, to give people an opportunity to dive into the authentic taste of Indian cuisine. And hence, our brainchild, Virraaj was born.
