"Co-owners and Eater Young Guns (‘18) Sahil Rahman and Rahul Vinod started this local fast-casual brand to introduce Indian food to a broad audience. Choose from premade bowls highlighting chicken tikka, lamb kebab, shrimp, spiced beef, and more. Customers can also build their own, choosing from a base of vegetables or rice and adding mains, veggies, and toppings. End the meal on a sweet note with masala chai chocolate chip cookies and vegan soft serve. Pair the meal with icy bottles of Taj Mahal beer, cardamom mint juleps, and spiked lassis, which can be delivered in a coconut. Along with its newest Rockville outpost, the fast-growing brand maintains locations in Navy Yard, Arlington, Mt. Vernon Triangle, and Fairfax." - Tierney Plumb
