Best Restaurants in America According to Our Readers
"This spectacular “Indian-ish” restaurant in Washington, D.C., is nothing short of delightful. A meal at Daru is always surprising in the best way, with showstoppers including tacos filled with tandoori-grilled chicken, fluffy naan brushed with za’atar olive oil, gorgeous striped bass cooked in makrut lime leaves, and even burrata swimming in black daal. (Don’t miss the cocktail with Indian whiskey, banana, and black walnut.) No matter the day, chef Suresh Sundas and bar manager Dante Datta remain committed to regional Indian flavors while using American ingredients in surprising, soul-warming ways." - Laura Itzkowitz
