"Chef K.N. Vinod handed off his longstanding Indique to former employee Deepu Mohan earlier this year. Now named Dakshin Restaurant, the menu picks back up with South Indian street snacks and crowd pleasers like the chicken cheese kebab. Boneless chicken breasts are marinated in cream cheese and yogurt, cooked in a clay oven, and served with fenugreek leaves. Order pickup or delivery here." - Tierney Plumb
"A pioneering Indian restaurant in Cleveland Park that wrapped up a 21-year run, bringing modern Indian cuisine from Kerala to D.C., tapas-style street foods, inventive brunch and cocktails, and hosting dignitaries and ambassadors; the space will become a South Indian restaurant called Dakshin under former employee Deepu Mohan, who plans to revive fan favorites and focus initially on takeout and delivery." - Tierney Plumb
"In Cleveland Park, the modern Indian mainstay at 3512 Connecticut Avenue NW is celebrating Diwali with a sharable thali platter priced at $30 and a vegetarian option for $28." - Tierney Plumb
"This longtime family-owned business not only serves modern takes on Indian classics like lamb roganjosh and samosa chaat, but several dishes from where the chef grew up including Malabar Fish Curry, a staple from the southern state of Kerala. Distance from zoo: 0.4 miles." - Adele Chapin, Kalina Newman
