Dining room not too crowded, with plenty of plantings and barriers to keep noise level as low as possible. Crispy kale is a crowd pleaser, thali platters good to sample several dishes without brining a crowd! Serviceable wine list.

Being a party of one they tried to seat me in the vestibule where patrons gather before being seated in the restaurant area. It is/was not good enough being seated in and amongst the passing foot traffic with the front door opening all the time. It would have been a very poor eating experience except I insisted on being seated in the actual restaurant. If they have a policy that all single diners eat there I can make a choice to go elsewhere. But as it is, I expect to eat in the restaurant proper as I am paying for the same ambience and comfort as everyone else. The management should rethink this issue.

The menu is somewhat smaller than other places but this seems to allow them to focus on the quality of each dish. I had the Green Chili Chicken and had them make it extra spicy. My only complaint is it could have been spicier. Amazing experience all around though. We will come back if we are ever in DC.
