This rather roomy restaurant near Union Station, in the city's Capitol Hill neighborhood, boasts ample outdoor seating and flavorful Indian cuisine. The vegetarian dishes here are well worth sampling. Curries are not as spicy as one would expect, but they are still tasty. The lunch buffet offers more than a dozen Indian dishes and is quite a deal at $9 during the week and $10 on weekends. The restaurant is best enjoyed on balmy summer nights, when the outdoor tables provide a spectacular vantage point for people-watching.
