I love this place. I love to eat and cook Indian food and this is one of the best Indian restaurants in the United States.

We were very excited to come here given the great ratings on trip advisor and also from friends living in DC. If you don't have a reservation, I don't know how long the wait time would be. With a reservation, we still waited but the bar is hip, well stocked - if you don't mind standing among people eating (makes... More

Good Indian food, with great service and a good wine list. Once again Washington DC Zagat uses hyperbole to describe food that is good and rates it at 28.

The sea bass was wonderful, with unique flavoring. We ordered the garlic pita bread and ate every last bit. The atmosphere is fun and trendy. We were not able to get... More

The atmosphere is great here and by far this is a popular restaurant, however the food was rather bland and lacking flavor. I spoke with a friend who is much more familiar with this restaurant and Indian cuisine and she stated it was a toned down version of traditional Indian fare in a fusion style. The Indian restaurants in Los... More

Order the fried spinach. It was the best thing we ate on our trip to Philly and DC. Was able to walk in and get a lunch table without a reservation
