Six stars if I could! What a great experience. Excellent coconut curry and korma. Rice with cardamom accent was wonderful and the naan was perfect. Great cocktail too! The vibe is great but the best part was the service. We sat at the bar and the bartender (and proprietor?) was awesome. So friendly and passionate about the food and drinks.

The place is really nice, the music creates a vibe that certainly invites to stay, and the service is outstanding. About the food, just really good. We had Chaat , a curry and papadams and everything was delicious. I am already looking forward to my new favorite Indian place!

Never had Indian food before, family really wanted to take me, glad I said yes! Incredible food, if you’re afraid of a lot of spice (like me) ask for little-to-no spice. Also had the vegetable Samosas and all 4 of the desserts. highly recommend! Yum!

5 draft Atlas Beers! That is what got our initial attention. Then the food came out. The best Indian in DMV. Wish I took a picture of the fish tikka and chicken coconut curry. On. My. God.

Monday night date night. We sat at the bar and had a wonderful time. The Maharaja Margarita is the right balance of sweet and spice and the Gingertini is very tasty. We enjoyed an array of appetizers that were all very delicious.

Wonderful restaurant with good food and great service. Portion sizes are smaller than your typical Indian restaurants but are totally worth the price based on the taste and quality. The entire staff and manager were very nice and kept checking on us frequently. We went during a weekday so it wasn’t so crowded but I would recommend making a reservation ahead of time if you are planning on visiting on a weekend. Overall a wonderful place and must try if you are in the DC area.
