The food here is absolutely fantastic. If you're in the area using lunchtime, get their lunch buffet. It's a different selection of their menu every day.
Tara DavisOctober 20, 2013Awesome service. Sitting at the outside bar listening to the reggae band made me feel like I was in Montego Bay!! Will return.
Christopher MartinoApril 9, 2014Great food, the bar opens onto the patio on warmer days and provides the entire restaurant with an outdoor experience- great for spring!
Yuri BJune 9, 2014Kebabs come with side salad, which is not mentioned on the menu.Curries come in generous amount, plus well cooked rice!Soups are nice too.
I've eaten here many times, and I have never had rude service. In fact the staff goes out of their way to be friendly and helpful. food is outstanding. If you don't like loud music, don't come late.
Jack LincolnDecember 14, 2018Great happy hour. Bartender is really nice and food is super good. Can’t go wrong with anything!
Aaron ChuOctober 9, 2013the lassi drink is amazing! bartender with ink is extremely sexy and extremely kind.
Meka LloydSeptember 7, 2018Great Indian food options. Chill sexy atmosphere on the inside and laid back patio.- Yuri BJune 9, 2014Great quality food, freshly cooked, and well priced. Service is excellent. My new favorite place on H st.
Melissa ReeseMarch 3, 2013My husband and I came here while we were visiting DC for the weekend. Food was delicious and service was great!
Gig BigJuly 12, 2013Service is slower than a white guy running the 100 meter dash. Food is so good though that a North Korean would kill a man to for a mere sniff of it.
Alyssa ZhuDecember 12, 2015Authentic Indian food! Try the dal tarka or the goat curry... You won't regret it
John AmschlerJune 7, 2015If you like hot sauces, really hot sauces - order a side of the vindaloo - it is phenomenal!
Everything here is amazing. The vindaloo is a standout for me though.
Mel DahlinMarch 20, 2013Yummy food but spicy is spicy! Also, Eric is an attentive and awesome server!!!!
Brandon BellamyFebruary 16, 2014Came on a Saturday evening. Wasn't packed, but not enough waitstaff on hand. The food was okay, nothing spectacular. I may come again the menu has some interesting options.
Stephanie U.August 28, 2012The staff is nice but who does last call at 10:30pm??? The place was packed!
Audrey ADecember 28, 2012extremely rude service! decent food minus the chunks of raw onion in various dishes. live jazz band starts at 900--get loud and crowded. nothing spectacular here...definitely NEVER EVER coming back!
