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

"In charge of date night? Allow us to suggest a romantic stroll through Old Town, followed by a white tablecloth dinner at Diya Indian Cuisine. We highly recommend the okra masala, a house speciality, because it’s the kind of dish that makes you go, “Ooh, why didn’t I think of that?” as you chew with jealous delight. Our other standbys include the lamb korma and the sinfully savory salmon curry. Whatever you order, save room for their decadent take on the traditional Indian dessert gajar halawa, which brings together rich flavors like ghee, green cardamom, and cinnamon." - mekita rivas, tristiana hinton, madeline weinfield
