The indian street food rivals any other Indian food in DC. The braised lamb shank was tender as butter and the Indian spices on the lamb were fragrant, balanced and delicious. The chicken in the butter chicken was tender and the sauce had a lot of umami! The deserts are the best Indian deserts I have ever had! This restaurant is definitely up for repeat
