The Best Indian Restaurants In DC - Washington DC - The Infatuation

"Mount Vernon Triangle's Karma takes delicious familiar dishes and makes them delicious fancy dishes. The paneer pesto, with bright greens and a spicy red pepper sauce, is easily one of the best starters in the city. The garlic naan is so buttery and pungent that we wish it were served everywhere. And the slightly sweet lobster masala comes piled high with chunks of tender meat and bell peppers hidden under the leftover shell. Other than the hooded gold and blue chef’s table that draws your eye as soon as you walk in, Karma might look minimalist, but the handful of large tables makes it a great option for a family or group dinner." - mekita rivas, tristiana hinton, madeline weinfield
