    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.

    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!

    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!

I ended up really enjoying it! I got the Taiwanese Fried Cashew Mozzarella Croquettes (House-made plant-based cashew mozzarella rolled in Taiwanese fry batter, drizzled w/Korean ketchup) It ended up being delicious, balanced, and garlicky. They were like fried shells that were then stuffed with liquid cashew cheese which was an interesting idea for me for making things like that more simply at home. The lettuce and sauces were so good with it. They also let me try the Chinese five spice agave syrup they use on their dessert egg roll when I asked about it. My general rating system: 1 star: I would stay away 2 stars: Has some good things about it but I generally don't recommend. 3 stars: Pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but a decent place 4 stars: Great place. I would go back. 5 stars: I highly recommend stopping whatever you are doing and making plans to try it out! An Evie favorite!

While I was hungry, my objective was to earn points more than to satisfy a craving. This place is inside the Whole Foods in Navy Yard, which made it a tad confusing to find. Before I ordered, I asked the person who worked there what her favorite burger was. She looked at me and said she doesn't eat here. Haha. I ordered a cheeseburger. It took longer than I think a cheeseburger should, but I suppose I should be happy they make things as they are ordered. I paid for my burger, paid for my groceries, and then ate at the dining area in Whole Foods. The burger was fine. It didn't blow my mind away but I wouldn't say it was bad either. I think the "fake meat" industry has already peaked and while more people are becoming vegetarians and vegans, people are questioning the artificial flavors and chemicals that go into lab-grown meat and everyone is questioning the higher price for these items relative to actual meat. Already, the Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods brands are struggling. All this to say, it was a decent meal but I don't know if I'd go out of my way for this again. If I'm going to have a burger, I prefer real meat.

    Here's how I see it:…read more MITA delivered a dining experience that felt thoughtful from the first course to the final spoonful. As someone who does not typically gravitate toward vegetarian/vegan menus, the meal felt especially fresh and quietly innovative--proof that vegetable-forward cuisine, when handled with this level of intent, can be just as compelling, layered, and satisfying as any traditional tasting menu. Opting for the Camino Corto menu proved to be a well-judged choice. Paired with the supplemental arepas, it offered a generous and satisfying progression without ever feeling heavy. The arepas--served with guasacaca, cashew sour cream, and chontaduro butter--were an excellent addition, setting a warm, flavorful tone and easily standing as a highlight on their own. From there, the menu unfolded with precision and clarity. The picaron with persimmon, lúcuma, and huacatay was playful yet composed. The arracacha with fava beans, plantain, and mushroom dashi brought depth and umami-driven warmth, while the watermelon ceviche with white soy, cilantro, and quinoa delivered brightness and balance. The malanga course offered satisfyingly to-the-perfect point chewy texture, and the arroz con gandules--pigeon peas, sofrito, and sea beans--managed to feel both comforting and refined, a balance not easily achieved. Dessert, a modern bienmesabe with coconut sponge, coconut praline, and pineapple sorbet, closed the meal with elegance and lift. What stood out most was how seamlessly the kitchen elevated vegetables beyond expectation--never as substitutes, but as the main event. Each dish felt intentional, expressive, and complete. Service mirrored the cuisine in its composure and warmth: attentive without intrusion, polished without stiffness. There is a quiet confidence throughout MITA that allows guests to settle in and fully engage with the experience. This is the kind of restaurant that shifts perspective--where even a dedicated omnivore leaves not missing anything, but instead discovering something new. Respect to the chefs and the entire team for a meal that was both elegant and deeply satisfying.

Because it was a set prix-fixe that wasn't posted publicly beforehand, it felt like a bit of a gamble, and unfortunately, it didn't pay off for my group. There was very little room for accommodating dietary preferences, which was surprising for a vegetable-forward concept. It would have helped if they had made the menu public so we knew what to expect before sitting down. The Malanga Gnocchi was a letdown. As a main course, it felt uninspired and lacked the "wow" factor I expected from a place with this reputation. Overall, I felt the dishes could have been much more inventive. For a Michelin-level spot, the flavors felt a bit safe and didn't showcase the full potential of plant-based Latin cuisine. The service remains attentive and the space is beautiful, but for the price point, I wanted more.

Sooo glad we did! 2/4 of us frequent the establishment so we followed their lead I got the moolah bowl and a friend got a juice made of all kinds of fresh stuff. She said it was THE best fresh juices juice she'd ever had. Unfortunately they were out of both avocado and mushrooms, so I subbed brown rice and black beans. LOVED IT They roast the veggies, and just totally mix the greens and toppings n veggies altogether and dump it in a brown box! DELISH AND HUMONGOUS. I literally am on my 3rd meal of it, today! I'm gonna write to the moms in white marsh and ask why "we" don't have the ear in option? Staff: two VERY hard working folk going at it, being patient with us first timers and totally apologetic about the items they were out of (as though it were their fault). A short line started to form behind us and a lady appeared from the rear to help them out. Good to see an establishment recognize a need to come to the aid of other workers to ensure customer satisfaction
