Himalayan Heritage Restaurant DC

"With so many choices along the 18th Street Corridor, it's easy to miss Himalayan Heritage tucked at the end near Kalorama—don’t. The curries at the Nepali and Indian restaurant are packed with bold and peppery flavors, and it’s one of the few non-cafes on the strip open for lunch. It’s an excellent option when you want to take a solo break from work and dive into the embrace of sweet butter chicken and an endless stream of garlicky naan." - omnia saed, mekita rivas

"When you need to shut out the world and have some delicious Nepali and Indian comfort food, head to Himalayan Heritage in Adams Morgan. The curries here are packed with bold and peppery flavors, and it’s one of the few non-cafes on the strip open for lunch. It’s an excellent option when you want to take a solo break from work and dive into the embrace of sweet butter chicken and an endless stream of garlicky naan. But leave your phone on DND so you can truly enjoy the quiet, lightly incensed dining room." - Omnia Saed

"When you’re looking for a relaxing place to enjoy your lunch, head to Himalayan Heritage in Adams Morgan and eat 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." - tristiana hinton

"This is the place for Nepalese momos. Meat options include minced buffalo, goat, or chicken. A vegetarian version comes with carrot and cabbage. Try the Jhol momo with a choice of vegetable, chicken, or pork dumpling that are steamed and dipped into a stewed sauce." - Vinciane Ngomsi, Aparna Krishnamoorthy
