Description:
DOWNTOWN. This little-known find is one of the top places in town for flavorful Indian cuisine, and its location near the White House means it typically crawls with staffers and political types. Reportedly a favorite of the Clintons during his time in office, the refined, palm-dotted dining room is a combination of British and Indian styles. But the food is authentic Indian all the way, with skillfully prepared tandoori dishes, lamb in saffron with yogurt and spices, and a fantastic array of curries. Vegetarians and carnivores will both be satisfied. Just don't miss the naan, a flavorful, soft bread that's a Bombay Club specialty. Business casual dress. Reservations recommended. METRO: Farragut West |

DOWNTOWN. Authentically gourmet takes on sigiri, tandoori and tawa dishes have enabled this elegant Penn Quarter establishment to capture a fair amount of popular and critical praise.

And the fare – for example, Lamb Dahiwala, Dum Ha Duck, Tandoori Trout – truly captivates the senses. The restaurant offers multiple settings, including a community table, a formal dining room, a lounge area, and a showcase kitchen. METRO: Archives/Navy Memorial; China Town/Gallery Place |

Description:
CAPITOL HILL. A self-proclaimed Pakistani restaurant, this cozy eatery (whose name means "volcano") offers cuisine with a decidedly Indian flair. Its hallmark is food prepared in the clay tandoori oven. Lamb and chicken cooked this way are made succulent and tender, bearing the reddish hue characteristic of tandoori cooking. Aside from these dishes, you can also opt for a spicy vindaloo or lamb karahi, full of vegetables and rich seasonings. With all the thick sauces, you'll do well to sample the range of breads, from classic nan to onion kulcha. A delicious taste of the sub-continent. |

Description:
This cosmopolitan Indian restaurant is known for its great buffet specials and four-alarm vindaloo dishes. Surroundings are casual and simple, but the food is complex and full of flavor. Try flaming-hot tandoori chicken wings and some of the most tongue-tingling curries in town. Even the presumably mild butter chicken has a pungent, spicy kick. A perennially good bet is the chef's special, which changes each week based on the freshest seasonal ingredients. Not for the faint of heart. Casual attire. |

Description:
AIRPORT - DCA. For a taste of Afghan cuisine, consider this great, unimposing restaurant. A plain exterior opens into a friendly, upbeat atmosphere, and long, family-style tables perfectly accommodate crowds. Bread alone is worth a visit – light, airy, and delivered from the clay oven to your table in loaves as big as manhole covers. Juicy kebabs and Afghan-style turnovers called bulanee offer excellent options, and the house specialty is aushak – light dumplings (with your choice of filling) topped with mint and yogurt. Casual attire. |

Description:
BETHESDA. Accented with Indian artwork, this restaurant offers zesty cuisine from the northern part of the sub-continent. Tandoori chicken, baked in the traditional clay oven, attracts a cast of regulars who can't get enough of the spice-infused meat. They also dig into earthy curries and chunky rice biryanis, mopping up sauce and renegade morsels with hearty flatbread. Chicken cooked with coriander and green chilies satisfies those who appreciate a little fire, and vegetarians are pleased by a variety of meatless entrees. |
