Indigo in D.C. serves bold Indian flavors in a cozy, kitschy spot with a lovely patio, perfect for enjoying vibrant dishes with friends.
"This charming, family-owned corner staple in NoMa features a cute patio decked out in colorful string lights with a separate bar slinging drinks and trays of biryani and butter chicken. Customers can peruse a long list of specials and vegetarian options on the chalkboard inside." - Tierney Plumb
"It's hard to find good Indian food that's also halal in the city, but Indigo does the job. While it's nothing to brag about, the fast-casual spot offers an array of halal dishes that work well for folks needing to satisfy both their diet and their craving for butter chicken, lamb kofta curry, or chicken biryani. What’s more, the outdoor patio is a great hangout spot for big groups looking to enjoy good weather or huddle under a heating lamp at the end of the day. " - omnia saed

"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
