"Daru mixes classic Indian flavors with European ingredients to create exceptional dishes like the tangy paneer pesto tikka and rich and creamy black daal burrata. The cocktails also blur geographic and culinary lines. Order the East-West blending Chakra Phool, made with hints of Peychaud’s and Star Anise. The menu is an equal mix of vegetarian and meat dishes, making Daru a great option for mixed-diet groups. This tiny restaurant gives a homey refuge to the eastern edge of H Street, and the dining room is full most every night." - Madeline Weinfield
