"At its third D.C. outpost near Adams Morgan (1915 18th Street NW), I found Bombay Street Food continuing the Columbia Heights tradition of chaat, Indo-Chinese dishes, and vada pav while adding new items like aloo tiki (potato, chickpeas, and chutney) and a chicken 65 in a spicy red sauce with curry leaves. The 45-seat restaurant, which includes a small six-seat patio, offers a smaller, cheaper menu than the original and the Barracks Row location—think an $18 thali platter for one. It's run by restaurateur Asad Sheikh, who has also quickly grown Butter Chicken Co. into a fast-casual counterpart; the new spot opens for lunch from noon to 3 p.m. and dinner from 5 to 10:30 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday, with delivery available through third-party apps." - Tierney Plumb
