    A crowded place (which is a good sign) Still we didn't have to wait for long. Good spicy curry food and a nice spot in the neighbourhood. We 're from the Netherlands in Europe and we liked it here.

    Good Punjabi comfort food ! Get a stack of parathas with sweet and spicy Indian pickles, the spicy pumpkin is to die for! The spinach rolls should be paired with old monk (rum) from the bar!

    Get a hand-held snack: "Indiroll," a variation on kati rolls, the burrito-like street food found in India. Warning: The spicy and succulent lamb curry might threaten to break through the wheat roti. Read more

    The lamb is awesome and tender, the spicy pumpkin is creamy and delicious, the potatoes and eggplant is mild but full of flavor. The Lassi is baller AF, best I've ever had. No regrets.

    I really like the Butter Chicken and the Mango Chicken. So far everything I have had from here is good. The atmosphere inside is relaxed, plus there is free Wifi and outdoor seating.

    Rolls, Goat Curry, spicy chicken all were good. By far the best indian food at a moderate price in DC

    Good masala chicken. Spicy masala is too spicy for me (and I like to think I can tolerate spicy foods pretty well).

    Everything is amazing and the owners are quite possibly the nicest, most accommodating people on the planet!

    They have a small selection of bottled beers, but I'm most excited about the bottled Coke, Diet Coke and Sprite. Super nice staff.

    Es realmente delicioso y económico si se tiene en cuenta que los platos son grandes y alcanzan perfectamente para dos. El Lamb curry es máximo.
