Great service and great food. Highly recommend to go adventurous and try dishes you don’t usually try (e.g., skip tikka masala).

Visiting DC from NY, on a Sat eve 8.45 PM, to our surprise, we were the ONLY customers in this restaurant. On top we had an extremely rude Nepali server who basically made us feel she was doing us a huge favor serving food. I am always thankful and polite to servers but her attitude was nasty. When presented with the bill, I challenged that I don’t want 20% gratuity added by default coz I didn’t even have bare min decent experience here. She came and said she’d call cops if I didn’t give gratuity. I know my rights as consumer well, so that didn’t fly far.

The service and ambiance were both great. Thankfully, we did not have to order using a QR code because my battery was drained. I was eager to try this restaurant but could never do so due to the 2:15pm closing time and long distance from the zoo. We ordered several vegetarian dishes and the bread basket. The flavors were good but the spice level was a little too high on the paneer burji. I will probably not order that dish again. Mushroom Korma was amazing and veggie coconut curry was OK. It probably would have been better if it were less spicy. Thankfully, our server provided us with plenty of cold water and rice to accompany the spicy dishes. The naan was tasty with the garlic naan being the best. It’s a bit on the expensive side but I will come back to try more dishes and naans in the future.

This is some of the best Indian food I’ve had. The service is good, quick, and you can order the food straight from your phone using a QR code at the table.

Heena Patel
The restaurant uses a QR code based ordering system, so you can take your time with ordering and closing the tab when you’re ready to leave. There is also a server who comes around to refill your water and check-in to see if you need anything.

This place has some great food and they have a great environment, the environment made me feel great with some music and nice modern approach, staff was friendly. There are a few occasional stains here and there but nothing unsanitary. I would recommend this to anyone who is not Indian or anyone who doesn’t have a spice tolerance but wants to try the most flavorful food because they have options for less spice. This is a great restaurant and I would definitely eat here again. 9/10 would recommend.
