Great location near the convention center. The food was excellent, highly recommend the butter chicken and tandoori. The atmosphere was clean, and inviting. Perfect spot for a casual meal. Definitely coming back!

I had the most amazing Paneer Makhani at Himalayan Doko in Washington, DC, and I can confidently say it’s the best I’ve ever had—anywhere in the world. The dish was the perfect balance of smoky and sweet, with a rich creaminess that paired beautifully with both the roti and garlic naan. The portion size was generous enough to easily serve 3–4 people. The presentation was stunning, with vibrant colors and an aroma that immediately made my mouth water. The taste was exactly what you expect from paneer makhani—comforting, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. If you love Indian food, you must try this dish. I can’t recommend it enough. Pro-tip: If you prefer something a little less sweet, ask for a higher spice level—you won’t be disappointed!

Came for an early dinner, the service was basic but efficient and the food came out quickly. The curries could do with more spicing and were a bit bland but were good enough. The pani puri starter was the best and most flavoursome part!

Very pleasant. I like how quick and straightforward (and at the same time polite) the servers were, our food got in quick plus their momos jhol was delicious! Me and my brother shared all of it together. Overall it's good. A hidden gem, imo.

This hidden gem has tasty food and great service. We are dairy-free eaters, and they were very accommodating to our needs. We had the channa masala and the daal which were perfect and served hot. We alsonhad pakora (they were ok) with tamarind sauce, shrimp biriyani (yummy), the salmon and tilapia curry, which we added pepper sauce to, per our request, to zest it up to our taste. The portion sizes are large. We will be back again!
