    Goat Curry and naan
    Hammed A.

    SpiceX Indian restaurant is a good local hidden gem located in L'Enfant Plaza food court. A good option for tourists frequenting the area, but I'm disappointed this Indian restaurant is hidden in L'Enfant Plaza. Mostly government workers and tourists in this SW area frequent L'Enfant Plaza and I wonder how much more successful this business would be if it were situated along the DuPont Circle, 18th Street, or Connecticut Avenue corridors. The customer service is good. The lady who took my order did a good job of explaining the entree vs rice bowl options. The portions are adequate and the menu options are not complicated. I ordered goat curry which was delicious. So was the plain naan. There is seating in the restaurant which is a plus because I do not believe any other restaurant in L'Enfant Plaza is enclosed and has indoor seating. Overall a good experience and I will return.

    Menu

    I ordered 1/2 hakka noodles and 1/2 spicy rice with palak paneer. It was yummy. We also got 2 samosas which were crispy on the outside and nice and hot inside. We got in just before the lunch hour rush time. It's a nice place for a quick lunch downtown.

    Chicken Tikka Masala with naan bread
    Doreen B.

    Food is good but very expensive for lunch. Got the chicken tikka masala $7.99 with naan bread $2.50 and my total was $11.59 with taxes. The bowls are $10.+ But I did not want rice. You also get a very small portion.

    Located in the L'Enfant Plaza. Came across this place while finding a lunch place during our DC visit. More of a take out place even though they do have couple of tables for dine in. Best part about this place is the food is very affordable. You can make your own bowls/plates; or pick up their de facto options. We picked up their Butter chicken masala and chicken tikka masala plates. Ordered a few Naans on the side as the quantity of the curries were more than adequate. Two plates were plenty for 4 people. We really enjoyed the food. Spice level was not up to my expectation, and it was very flavorful. Loved the food. The staffs were so kind and friendly. Service was very quick as you pick up your food from the counter itself. There's plenty of tables in the plaza to have an enjoy the food even though we got their dine-in tables! A recommended place!

    Butter chicken

    I don't have a lot of experience with Indian food. Theu were so nice and walked me through everything. The butter chicken was one of the best lunches I have ever had. What a blessing to have it at L'Enfant!

    Great food, especially for the price. The naan is a standout as it's quite literally made in front of you. Highly recommend!

The Palaak chaat was packed with flavor, lamb samosas were really tasty, and I also enjoyed the spinach rolls. They have a number of share and signature dishes and Indian-fusion cocktails.

We ordered the sloppy jai (lamb sliders), lamb skewers, SPDP (sev puri/dahi puri), vada pav, chai with Parle-G biscuits, and jal jeera. Everything was fantastic, but the chai with Parle-G was pure nostalgia and brought back so many memories! The lamb dishes were flavorful and perfectly cooked, while the street food favorites were packed with the kind of bold flavors you'd expect from a great Indian chaat spot. Service was exceptional. The staff were attentive, friendly, and I especially appreciated that the servers actually pronounced the Indian dishes correctly--a small detail that made the experience even better. The vibe is lively, colorful, and incredibly welcoming. We went for lunch with a reservation, and I'd definitely recommend making one. They also have a pani puri stall on weekends, which is another reason to come back. Absolutely loved this place and can't wait to return the next time I'm in DC!

She liked the food just as much as we do -- this time we tried the catfish special , catfish koliwada (I confess I was disappointed to find that the dish came in fried bite-sized morsels instead of whole filet), plus the disco bhel, aloo tikki chaat, and lamb kala masala (my favorite of them all), as well as another kale pakora chaat. Our daughter-in-law wanted some extra spice and was brought a small plate with a few hot peppers and a very spicy pickle (a small extra charge). One disappointment was the very loud music blaring , making it harder to chat in a normal voice -- the maitre d' explained that it is equally loud throughout the restaurant, providing an atmosphere comparable to Mumbai. I was not impressed by that excuse (and besides, it was NOT that loud every where in Mumbai when we were there 25 years ago) Sill, good and interesting food. A recommended place

However, by the time we left they were packed, and everyone there enjoyed the bright atmosphere, attentive waitstaff, and delicious food. We tried several dishes--we got the fried chili buff momos. I will definitely get. Them again, but steamed. Honestly, I think that I could make an entire meal of momos. We got veggie samosas--standard--crisp, plump, a little salty, and good. We also got a creamy chicken dish and an okra (bhindi) dish. Both were very good. The service was exemplary--there was a team of four or five dedicated staff who rotated through with dishes and takeaways. Oh! I almost forgot the garlic naan--some of the best I have had. Definitely stop in and give this place some love!!

They tried to tone down some of the dishes as the hubster is a non-spicy person. The stuff still spicy , he stayed away from. We ordered a meal set for two to try a little bit of everything. We aren't experts in this type of cuisine, but there wasn't anything we didn't like. With the meal for 2 plus a side order of naan, we ended up making 2 lunch take out plates for us. I wasn't super hungry so that probably resulted in us taking more home. It was great, quiet and we'd come here again!

I have a lot of favorite Indian spots and for the price and weird 'service' of this one.. it's a no for me on coming back. This was overpriced Indian food, served in to-go containers with Chipotle skimpy serving sizes you can't change or customize. So its missing the only redeemable factors of that style of restaurant. Y'all it was $20 for my veggie "platter". It's half two types of BEANS+ a veggie and some rice. MINI ROTI SEPARATE $2 (as disappointing as when tortilla chips+ salsa are a paid for thing, and not just on the table) Vegetarian is typically the cheapest option on the menu considering sourcing especially compared to meat. Yet the veggie options were no better than my attempt of Indian food at home, as a non-indian person lol. My family liked their entrees okay, butter chicken -$19, and lamb curry-$23 being the best option besides the 2pc Paneer Pakora-$8 appetizer. Gotta go up to grab your utensils or a lid which is fine, with luke warm water being the only self serve option here. So yay $4 regular drinks. I was unimpressed by their QR code 'service' only though and it stuck out to me. You order your food through a QR like many restaurants do, they bring you the food and then never come back to your table again. Not even if you place another order through the QR, we had to go find someone up front and see what was up. Could not order from the Bar menu QR either. On a Wednesday not a weekend thats pretty wild? I would not call any of it service. This form of ordering was set up with a good idea, and executed poorly. I know we have the money to go out to eat and that its a privilege to get to enjoy that- so damn it I want the money to be well spent!!! With Inflation that is a factor I'm looking at, and I believe the average customer is too. This restaurant needs to pick a lane, if it's going to be to-go style there better be some food to go with?? Not sure how Id leave the place with any food if this is whats given.
