The Best Restaurants In Columbia Heights & Mt. Pleasant - Washington DC - The Infatuation

"Make your way to Tamashaa after you’ve spent the day dodging the weekend farmers market crowds—it’s an oasis in the middle of all the hustle and bustle. This upscale spot in Columbia Heights celebrates regional Indian cuisines, with beautifully plated dishes of fiery goat vindaloo and tandoori cornish hen. Despite the somewhat formal vibe, it’s still welcoming for casual hangouts, and perfect for lunchtime with friends or family. Order the crispy crab smothered in rich coconut curry and finished with a drizzle of chili oil, and definitely get the butter chicken—Tamashaa’s version is one of the best we’ve tasted." - omnia saed, allison robicelli
