Iván Ch: Fried spinach and the curry halibut was amazing. If you want to start with a nice cocktail try the Rasika, delicious.
Hoff: Start with the Bronzino and crispy spinach and follow with the lamb with tomatoes, onions and apricots and the black cod. Life changing!
AFAR Media: On a recent visit, I feasted on a Keralan-style fish curry—utterly delicious. Be sure to order the naan. It’s made to order so it comes to the table piping hot. Read more.

Raakin Roll: The Milkshake (consisting of vanilla, chocolate, peanut butter) and the salmon is best done here
Maggie MacG: The burger here is sooo good (comes with fries) and is very shareable. The service here is excellent, much much better than the Top of the Gate.
Amber Shi: The duck breast is very impressive. Get it in medium. The cocktail called Strawberry is good too if you like gin.
Jason Leone: Great crab cakes, best I've had.
Sebastien M: Great hotel. Perfect location in DC. Once you walk into the stylish lobby, Staff is very accommodating. The bar at the blue duck tavern is perfect spot to have drinks. Highly recommend this place.

Pat Russo: The bacon cheese chili naan is unlike anything I've ever tasted. The chili salmon and lamb kathi roll were two of my favorite dishes with incredible flavors. The chicken curry was also on point.
Scott Mc Kiernan: Seat at Bar area, smells are intoxicating as off open kitchen. Supreme Indian street food to die for, blocks from White House, great staff and eclectic customers.
AmateurConcierge: Definitely in the 9 range! High quality Indian street food. Loved the popcorn, chicken kathi and bacon cheese naan. Can skip the bindass salad
