Good Naan

1. Rasika

just about as equally pretty. Mmm Bouquet - get it, its a dream.  We had the crispy spinach, goat cheese Naan (sinfully good), lamb rahganjoush, Salmon Tandoori, Steak, and it goes on....We skipped...

2. Ravi Kabob House

This is a wonderful joint that serves traditional kabobs with their wonderful naan and rice. The quality of their food is very consistent with great flavor and good portions.  It is a great place...

3. Kabob Palace

either. Naan is good as well. If you don't feel like eating/picking at the goods out of the styrofoam, here's an easy tip: Get a plate that surrounds the entire box, place on  top and invert. Be smart...

4. Mayur Kabab House

4. Taj of India Cuisine

Neighborhood: Georgetown

were freshly fried, not sitting around under some heat lamp in the back!  Finally, I know where to get my chicken tikka masala fix!  This place is no Lahore Karahi, but it may well be the best NW DC's...

5. Heritage India

Neighborhood: Glover Park

Lamb Vindaloo and Chicken Tikka Masala from $15-20.  They also had my all-time favorite, Navrattan Korma.  (For only $12 :) )  To me, Navrattan Korma is a simple pleasure.  Spices, vegetables, and some...
