Karma Modern Indian,

611 I St NW, Washington, DC 20001, United States

"So hard to find great service these days. Edward was attentive from the moment we walked in. Chef Ajay’s creations were perfectly portioned and delightfully seasoned. Delicious, spicy, but never too spicy (hot)."

"Indian food reimagined as Western contemporary, but not Americanized at all. Really delicious, uncomplicated dishes with stunning presentation. We ordered the paneer pesto, shrimp cornets, vegetable platter, Tandoori lamb chops, and a peach marscapone dessert. The lamb chops were paired with a prism of cumin potatoes that tasted like something my mom would make for breakfast despite looking like nothing I’ve ever eaten. The chef is evoking real nostalgic Indian subcontinental flavors while keeping everything modern looking. The staff were so kind and attentive. Please try this spot!"

"This must be one of the finest Indian restaurants in DC. The presentation was exquisite and innovative, although based on traditional dishes and street food. Everything tasted delicious. Staff are professional, efficient , friendlyand explained the menu. Omg, the amritsari snapper, seekh kebab, and tamarind potato sphere were the best starters. The dal makhani was homestyle with rajma and absolutely tasteful. I personally recommend the chicken chettinad, which was a curry and never had chicken done this well, and with the best laccha paratha so flakey, the entrees were scrumptious For the drinks, the navigator with sparks was interesting."

"Karma Modern Indian in Washington DC exceeded all expectations. As a Michelin-starred gem, it boasts awesome and friendly staff who elevate the dining experience. The yummilicious food not only satisfies the palate but also nourishes the soul. The meticulous food presentation adds to the overall charm, creating a mesmerizing taste journey. A definite five-star destination for those seeking exquisite Indian fine dining."

"Karma is my boyfriend, Karma is the food on my plate I had high expectations for Karma’s modern cuisine clash, but overall I came away a bit disappointed. The food was more delicious to my eyes than my actual taste buds, but again I maybe just came in with two high of expectations. Give it a shot and try for yourself!
