Passage to India 4931 Cordell Avenue, Bethesda, MD 20814

"Okay, Passage to India! You just earned yourself a regular customer. There are several Indian restaurants around Woodmont Triangle, and I've only been to a couple. Therefore I can't say how Passage to India ranks among others. But I can say I had one of the best meals, Indian or otherwise, in recent memory. Our server was attentive, courteous, and kind. Why there is not a line out the door, I have no idea. You should definitely give this place a try."

"We recently attended an event where food was catered from Passage to India . Overall food was good and there were some very good dishes and some average but none was horrible - which is always a good thing. For starters there were panipuri with stuffed potato and green mint and tamarind water. It was very tasty. The bean tikki was also good but the chicken malai kebab did not fly very well. It was quite dry and not much ‘malai dar’ or creamy or succulent as I would have expected. For mains there were multiple things - assorted bread basket, peas pulao , yellow daal, palak makai (spinach and corn), mixed veggies, chicken tikka masala, goat curry. For me the highlight was the green paratha ( I think it was Methi but not sure) , palak makai and chicken tikka masala. I love goat curry but this one was quite average. The salad was very fresh and whatever dressing they used , it worked wonders . For dessert there was mango shirkhand and it was yummy!"

"We wanted to try out this restaurant for several months but finally went there in one of the weekends. The decor and the ambiance was good. The food taste like home made food with less oil. The lemon soda was really good. We liked it, however the portion is very small. In addition to that, we ordered 4 entries which comes with free rice. They only served us three rice and didn't give us the fourth rice but charged us for the extra rice. I thought it was supposed to be free as we didn't get any rice with the fourth item but we were charged. It wasn't much but that's not how other restaurants do business. We might give another shot someday."

"The decor is amazing. The staff are polite and attentive. We had samosa, plain naan, salmon, chicken tikka masala. Samosas were pretty good. The mains were ok. Not as flavourful as other places though. Will def give them a second try at some point though. There is paid ParkMobile parking garage across the street which is very convenient."

"It was a great surprise to dinner at this restaurant! You learn about the different foods by each region in India. The Menu is very interesting and well written"
