"Looking for a relaxing lunch far away from spreadsheets and KPIs? Head to Himalayan Heritage in Adams Morgan and unwind with a bold, peppery curry. This is one of the few non-cafes on 18th Street open during the day, so it’s an excellent option for a break from the workday blues. Opt for the sweet butter chicken and an endless stream of garlic naan. And leave your phone on DND so you can truly enjoy the quiet, fragrant dining room." - mekita rivas, tristiana hinton, madeline weinfield
