Review

"The best of everything lunch buffet in postmodern digs is one reason why savvy McLEAN dinners love this elegant indian restaurant with its varied menu; other reasons are the incredible bread basket , a staff that remembers its clientele and not having to drive to DC for top-quality sub-continental cuisine. " 

Voted in best 100 by  Washington DC/Baltimore restaurants, ZAGAT Survey  1999-2006 



"...One of the more attractive indian restaurants around... Highly spiced food , such as flaky potato and pea samosas , peppery lentil-flour pappadam , fried crisp and served with green-cilantro dipping sauce. Smoky eggplant bharta and matter paneer (peas with hose-made cheese) is a favorite vegetable dish.Marinated lamb chops, chicken tikka and chicken kabobs slathered with almond paste are the greatest bits from the tandoor ."

"There is no skimping on either meat or vegetables and the large chunks of chicken breast are succulent and tender . The dish (chicken vindaloo) is a master piece ."
