Willem OverbeekeOctober 15, 2016A 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.
Ebrahim BandookwalaMay 20, 2017Good 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!
Washington PostFebruary 13, 2014Get 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
Lani PrunésJune 29, 2017The 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.- Morgan ThomasFebruary 3, 2015I 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.
SpazzoApril 4, 2015Rolls, Goat Curry, spicy chicken all were good. By far the best indian food at a moderate price in DC
Terry BiddleDecember 23, 2017I LOVE this place. Great food, great vibe. No frills, no pretense.Imagine an Indian version of some of the best dive restaurants in NYC.
Aleksandra ArcipowskaNovember 15, 2017Soo soo good! There is no better place to have good vegetarian food! Smoked egg plant is my favourite.
Spicy chicken curry is great, paalak paneer is awesome. Menu is constantly changing with new good things to try all the time.
Ben RAugust 16, 2016Everything was good! But especially lamb curry, spicy chicken masala, and thali plate. Great neighborhood spot.
Holly Spencer-DunnJuly 26, 2015We had the tikka masala and spicy chicken tikka! Awesome place - very busy which is always a good first impression
Sophia HNovember 11, 2016Good masala chicken. Spicy masala is too spicy for me (and I like to think I can tolerate spicy foods pretty well).- Hal MackinsMarch 15, 2015The saag paneer was fantastic: spicy and succulent. Everything here just looks and tastes fresh, too.
Everything is amazing and the owners are quite possibly the nicest, most accommodating people on the planet!- Mathew HartJuly 18, 2015The Saag Chicken (spicy) was amazing. Chickpeas on the side with rice & roti... everyone goes home happy.
Great neighborhood spot. Dining outside is easy and comfortable. Palak paneer and Taj Mahal beer!
Really good food at a good price. The people that work there are very nice. I'll be back.
- Some good spicy options but the goat and lamb dishes are always great.
AshleyDecember 17, 2013They have a small selection of bottled beers, but I'm most excited about the bottled Coke, Diet Coke and Sprite. Super nice staff.
For real, everything I've tried here is good. Sorry for the useless tip.
- John TaylorSeptember 16, 2016Line look too long? You can order food outside if you're sitting at the bar.
RaeDecember 8, 2022Didn’t even have to taste the food to know it would be good (it is lol). Was in there for 15 seconds and came out smelling like curry.
If you ever choose TD Burger over this place, you've failed as a human.
Bruce JSeptember 2, 2017The real deal Indian food. Simple and elegant scrumptiousness until the last bite.
Carlos CanteSeptember 1, 2018Es realmente delicioso y económico si se tiene en cuenta que los platos son grandes y alcanzan perfectamente para dos. El Lamb curry es máximo.

"Love the easy parking garage via 3rd street. It's also not very crowded yet due to construction so it's perfect for my social anxiety disorder. Will make this my regular store until things change."

"I loved Wunder Garten! It's such a cool space, complete with human sized chess! Their drinks are also super cheap for a great quality. I loved their cider, only $6!"

"Probably the cheapest place to eat near the tourist attractions. Tons of good fast food here such as five guys and roti. Clean public bathrooms too."
