The 5 Best Indian Restaurants in MICHELIN Guide Washington, D.C.

"It’s yellow, not the telltale blue of its name, that defines this sunny Indian restaurant. Located in a cheerful house with a self-service patio full of colorful picnic tables. How can you not adore a place where love notes from customers cover the walls? Indian expats and residents line up for such classic comfort cooking from the sub-continent as the spicy chicken masala and tender, melt-in-your-mouth goat curry. Even side dishes are elevated here—for instance, daal is packed with smoky flavor and doused in a cardamom-scented relish, while paneer paratha (flatbread stuffed with cheese, onion, chopped red chilies and cilantro) is especially fluffy and addictive." - The MICHELIN Guide
