Good Naan

1. Rasika

wonderful.  The dish also had tamarind and dates in it, imparting complexity and unexpected goodness. - I also ordered the Seekh Kabob of minced lamb.  It was delicious. - I also got the Garlic Naan...

4. Heritage India

Neighborhood: Dupont Circle

and definitely was the opposite of the vindaloo in that it was not spicy at all.  The Chicken Tikka Masala was ok...but I've had better. The Tandoori Prawns were ok too.  Overall I was stuffed...

5. Delhi Dhaba

not super impressed with their veggie options, though the dal is better than the chole.  But if you can eat meat, their chicken tikka masala is SO GOOD.  It got the boyfriend seal of approval, too...
