"Had the butter chicken and paneer pakhani with garlic naan. Both mains were excellent - the butter chicken was classic and the makhani had a little more tomatoey sweetness than I expected but it was a delicious twist. Also great naan! Will eat again"

"If you know, you know - best local spot I’ve found for Pakistani/Indian food in DC and I’ve been here about 10 years. Close to the DuPont Metro as well so carry out is a great option."
