This is my favorite Indian restaurant in DC. I like other Indian restaurants in DC, they have great selection of food from various parts of India. We were here to celebrate our friend's 40th birthday party. Most of us in the group were here for the first time. We ordered almost everything on their menu to share and taste everything. Podi masala dosa and cauliflower 65 are my favorites. I liked it so much that I came here the next day during their happy hours. For entrees, definitely recommend the whole tandoori chicken and shrimp kitchdi. Kitchdi is Indian style porridge. It's very delicious as it's made with rice and lentils. I was so full for desserts. I tried a little of kulfi. It was alright. Highly recommend this place. The service was phenomenal. I don't remember the name of our server, but she was so energetic and matched our vibes. Great recommendation for cocktails and food.

Tapori absolutely nailed it! The modern Indian small plates concept is executed beautifully -- every dish was bursting with bold, vibrant flavors and creative twists. We were celebrating a double birthday, and the experience felt extra special thanks to Nishita. She was energetic, genuinely engaged, and incredibly attentive all evening & catered impeccably to our gluten free request . The sweetest surprise? Desserts and pani puri on the house -- such a thoughtful touch that made our celebration unforgettable. She even got the head chef Baburam to meet us so we could give our candid feedback Amazing food, impeccable service, and the perfect celebratory vibe -- Tapori is officially a favorite!

Another awesome visit to Tapori. It was a friend's birthday and they kindly brought us a comped dessert with a candle. Service was excellent overall, and we enjoyed all the food. Food: Some veggie patty with dal, don't remember what it was called but it was delicious Dosa: didn't taste but looked good Veggie kulcha: amazing Butter chicken: reported to be amazing Paneer chop: huuuge piece of cheese. Sooo tasty but prob better for sharing! Squash: really unique dish! Delicious! Loved the pumpkin sauce Kulfi dessert: such an unusual thing for me, tasted incredible Galub jamun: small but really delicious Small place, better for small parties and make sure to get a reservation. It was COMPLETELY full.

FABULOUS. What really blew us away was the dosa AND the galub jalum. The dosa was thin and crispy and its paired with an assortment of rich sauces on the side. I could not tell you what those sauces were, but they were gone in less than 5 minutes that's how delicious they were. The cool lemongrass icecream drizzled with chocolate on top of the rose water soaked cake paired with the crunch of whatever was underneath was something special. Lovely ambiance, incredible service, easy reservations. Honestly an all around great experience.

As a South Indian, I adore this restaurant. It mixes all of the flavors well. The service is great and creates a very welcoming environment. I have gone alone multiple times for a solo happy hour, a girls night and small group dinner and I'm satisfied every time.

Tapori delights as usual. We went to the happy hour. Our martini and Manhattans were chilled with liquid nitrogen. Wow. Our bartender/server was like an old friend and he knows everything. He was fantastic. We even got to go back into their kitchen to see their dosa batter mill, which was amazing and allowed us to meet the chefs. The food was top notch as usual, but at happy hour prices so we get to sample all sorts of treats. The restaurant is beautiful as ever and we will be returning again soon.

A delicious dinner and cocktail spot on H St. my friends and I came here as a walk-in and lucked out with bar seating. We shared the pani puri, chapli kebab, jhol momos, and achari macchi kebab. The pani puri was very flavorful and perfect snack to share. The jhol momos had a delicious broth chili and the wagyu was very well seasoned. If you're a lamb fan, you definitely need to get the chapli kebab which comes on top of saffron naan. My favorite dish was the achari maachi kebab. The salmon was perfectly cooked and the skin was delightfully crispy. It came with pickled vegetables and quinoa (not your average quinoa), which paired so well with the salmon. So glad this new concept from the owners of Daru opened up.

I went to Tapori and thought it was really great overall. The vibes were awesome from the start. It has a fun, energetic atmosphere that makes the whole experience feel special. Part of the seating is at long shared tables, so we had to sit next to strangers, but it honestly wasn't too bad. It kind of added to the lively feel of the place. The food was good. It was really flavorful and well done, but it's definitely on the expensive side. It's not somewhere I'd go for a casual weeknight dinner. It feels more like a place you go for a fun night out or a special occasion. Overall, it's definitely worth checking out. I wouldn't go all the time, but it's a great spot when you're in the mood for something a little more elevated and fun.

Butter Chicken and Dum Biryani
Jacqueline K.

Had such a good time here! The food is great and the drinks are strong. We got the Dum Biryani (portion size is large, so we had plenty of leftovers), the butter chicken (one of the better ones I've had in DC)! I wish the seating for 2 people was larger but overall had a good time. Service was a bit spotty.

Global Elite Reviews N.

Amazing Indian food. Thank you EJay Very awesome Indian restaurant near Union Market. Manager Ejay was the man. Great drink selection and the food was totally better than expected. Strong indian flavors and cooked the right way (i.e - the butter chicken was made with tandoori chicken, not the "easier way"). Will certainly come back.

Vivian Z.

Solid spot - service and ambiance are great, albeit a bit loud/crowded. They have a good drink menu. Loved the cauliflower, fried lotus, and dumplings. However, did not like the chicken and paneer mains at all. For the price, there are better options.

Shrimp Khichidi
Iris P.

wow! we ordered almost everything on the menu and everything was a hit. the dishes were unique in presentation and combination-- from wagyu momos to the nilgiri scallops (my personal favorite). the one con is that for large parties, there is a central dining space which can be hard to get your own space, but at least they accommodate large parties! our server was lovely as well.

Paneer Chop (gf)
Allie W.

So good! Every dish we got was incredible. Perfect amount of spice. And there's a ton of gluten free options including the dosa! I can't wait to go back!

We ordered the aloo tikki chaat and disco bhel to start. The aloo tikki chaat was amazing! So flavorful. We then shared the lamb which was incredible. The meat literally fell off the bone.

I ended with the lamb shank, the quality of the meat and how it was cooked was very good, but the sauce it came it was so spicy it made it hard to enjoy the dish. I love Indian food and Indian food fusion, and I'm used to the spice that comes with it, but between the chili chicken and lamb shank it felt like they were spicy for no reason, the spice didn't seem to enhance the flavor experience. I will say the drinks were solid, including the mango lassie. Overall, good spot and I recommend it - it just didn't quite meet expectations but the expectations were very high.

We like plain or garlic. They are about a 5-7 min walk from the Capital One Arena. So, it is best to make reservations just in case you are trying to dine here when there is an event at Capital One.

Was pleased to see that the restaurant is still around (and super busy). No reservations, but we were lucky enough that there were enough seats at the bar, otherwise I don't think we would've been able to eat here at all. So hard to choose from a menu where everything sounded so good. We got the palak chaat, bhindi ka lonj, gobhi mattar, mint paratha, vegetable pulao, gujarati lasagne, and chili and olive oil naan. Standouts were the palak chaat and mint paratha. The palak chaat was the most well-balanced dish that satisfied every part of the flavor wheel: crispy spinach fritters, some tang from the yogurt and tamarind, sweetness from the date, and a lovely savoriness. The mint paratha was wonderfully flaky and herbaceous. The other dishes were good, but not particularly exciting. For desserts, we had the mango rasmalai and gulab jamun. Generally love ordering gulab jamun whenever I can, and it really hit the spot. The cardamom ice cream was the perfect pairing for it. I can kind of see where they were going with the mango rasmalai and the different textures/presenations of mango, but personally did not find it to be that memorable. Overall, not as mind-blowing as I remember but still enjoyed the meal. Definitely recommend making reservations if you want a table.

The butter chicken was AMAZING -- super flavorful, rich, and honestly a really generous portion. It was easily enough to have leftovers for lunch the next day, which made the deal even better. During happy hour they also have $3, $8, and $10 bites, and $10 margaritas, which is such a great value. I tried one of the $3 bites and it was so flavorful and well done. Honestly sooooo good! It was the vegetable Samosa and it's soooo good! The whole experience was great and the food had so much flavor. This was my first time coming here, but it definitely won't be my last.

This place brings South Asian culture to DC and the evidence of that is the beautiful black and white portrait collections with DC sprinkled throughout it. See if you can spot it in the image I posted! I loved it Next, their hospitality was excellent!!!!!! From the time that you walked through the doors, you're immediately greeted. Then, as soon as you sit at the table, the wait staff is attentive to your needs and uses such care to keep your water glass refilled and your table cleared between meals. Thank you! Drinks: we were there for the happy hour so we both wanted to try something special. I ordered the Chai espresso martini and my boyfriend ordered the Pili margarita. The Chai espresso martini was GOLDEN! If this drink were to go up for cocktail of the year, it would come out on top. Might I say that chai is something that you can mess up and I've had encounters where it was watered down, not the case here. I tasted the fresh and real chai and the richly brewed espresso. This drink wasn't just a martini, it warranted deep conversation with each sip. My boyfriend raved about his Pili margarita and talked about how excellent it was to taste fresh mangoes, a burst of citrus, and spiciness. A beautiful culinary combination Safe to say that both drinks were our favs!!! I also had a glass of their white wine and it was dry and refreshing. Well done! Food: we ordered several dishes from the happy hour menu. Please note that they aren't shy of providing excellent portions. Manchurian wings: a star dish! The fry on the wings were perfect but the seasoning puts this dish over the top. Highly recommended! Vegetable samosa: flaky dough with the most delectable sautéed vegetables. You'd definitely want to try a few of these! Gobi manchurian: a beautiful dish for non-meat eaters and meat eaters. Similarly to the wings, these cauliflowers were perfectly fried and seasoned to perfection. Actually, at one point, I thought that I was eating a meat dish because it was so tender and juicy inside. Please don't miss ordering these! Spicy chicken tikka: the dish that makes you ask "what spices are in this? They're EXCELLENT!" Such a juicy and tender cut with the perfect blend of flavors. Order, order, order! I think it's safe to say that we enjoyed ALL of our selections and appreciated the modern twist on Indian food classics. They didn't stray too far from the beauty of these dishes but added just enough personality to win you over. Lastly, we ordered dessert! We originally went with their bread pudding which came with cardamom ice cream but the amazing host, Dave, surprised us with their special Gulab jamun. The cardamom ice cream was AHHH-MAY-ZIN (spelled how I need you to say it!) it was amazing! But let's get into this bread pudding. I have so many questions: who is the pastry chef? How did they master such perfect bread pudding? Also, why is this dessert SO GOOD?! Best bread pudding and ice cream EVER! And I don't say that often about much bread puddings. The Gulab jamun was also my favorite because it wasn't sweet as the others and I felt so satisfied taking bites of this with the beautiful ice cream they placed on top. It's a no brainer that I'm coming back soon and that I'm going to try their dinner menu next. Please make the reservations and go support this spot, you won't regret it!

Jab's version ($10) is the best dupe I've ever had! I ordered it as a carryout item, and I was wary that it wouldn't hold up to the transport and would be soggy. Jab packaged it thoughtfully - all of the sauces were served on the side - and the flash-fried spinach stayed perfectly crispy and wasn't greasy at all! Serving the sauces on the side is actually even better because then I was able to customize the sauce levels and flavors. I would definitely come back and order this again. I also ordered the Chicken Makhani ($20) because I'm basic like that. It comes with rice. You can customize the spice levels, and yes, I ordered mild (...I SAID I was basic). The butter chicken was good but doesn't crack the list of my favorites. The chicken was a little dry and they use a grilled/barbecued chicken which gave it a smoky flavor. The mild was quite mild, I actually think I could handle a slightly spicier level here. I'm happy I tried this place - will come back to try more.

For my detailed review below, typically above a 4.5 is in the two or three Michelin star category and 4.2-4.4 is a Michelin 1 star. For all my other adventures visit: https://www.instagram.com/food_for_chu?igsh=Zjk3ZDlrNTAxY2J0&utm_source=qr D.C. Michelin #1: For our first stop in our nation's capital, I am reviewing the Indian restaurant, Rania. This is actually my second time at the restaurant, however I only experienced the 3 course option that time and opted for the full tasting experience this time. Ambiance: 4.2/5.0 The restaurant is simple, yet elegant. The noise level is moderate and you don't have to worry about listening to someone else's conversation all night. I have yet to travel to India, but I imagine a fine-dining establishment there to look something like this with the goblets, arches, and see through walls! Service: 4.4/5.0 In my first trip to Rania, I actually had to bring my golf clubs which the host stored for me and even carried it out when I was leaving (it is extremely heavy). In my second trip, the service was again top notch. The waiter was attentive and enthusiastic making me excited for the full tasting experience. The pace of the meal was also perfect. Food: 4.3 Amuse: Two incredible small bites starting with a Sabudana Vada, a warm and spicy fritter that was soooo good. Next, a Chana masala that had that same incredible warmth but a tomato kick instead. First: The first dish of the tasting was a yellowfin tuna tartar and Pani Puri. The crunch of the pani puri complements the tuna so well and the yuzu vinaigrette was not overpowering. I will say, that there wasn't a wow factor for this dish however, but still tasted good. Second: Next up was a scallop dish with an Amritsari (cooking style that blends spices for a burst of flavor) sauce. The scallop was cooked perfectly and sauce is no joke. At first the flavor is subtle as you really taste the scallop, but then the kick comes in and it is delicious! Third: The next course was a Nargisi Kofta quail egg, Swiss chard, truffle cream, and pickled mushrooms. Think of a scotch egg with chicken as the outer covering. This dish was surprisingly spicy (you see a theme here), but the creamy sauce complimented the crispy chicken so well. If it's too spicy, make sure to eat the chard to give yourself a break. This was fantastic, but be warned, it's deceptively spicy! Fourth: I then had a Shrimp momo which is a shrimp dumpling. The dumpling sits in a moilee sauce which is coconut based. First off, I will admit that shrimp dumplings are not my favorite, but it was perfectly cooked in this dish. The sauce has a great savory and nutty flavor. However, there was a bit of an aftertaste that I couldn't wrap my head around. Fifth: For my fifth dish I got to eat a Lamb Seekh kabob. The lamb is incredibly tender and the Kashumber (cucumber in yogurt) is a perfect compliment. I will say that the flavors weren't as strong, perhaps because the previous dishes were so powerful. Sixth: The last savory dish was my selection of the duck vindaloo (chose over the squab tandoori). Vindaloo is a spicy curry and think of the duck like a duck confit. The skin is so crispy and the meat is extremely tender. The duck also comes with naan, rice, and lentils. This feels like a traditional Indian meal but elevated to the max. So much flavor, perfect cook, and the best accompaniments, my favorite part of the meal. Dessert: To wrap everything up, dessert was a chocolate tart with masala chai ice cream. The chai flavor balanced out the dark chocolate fudge to perfection. As someone who doesn't really like chocolate, the chai itself made me want more. Overall: 4.3/5.0 Just like my first trip, the food was great, ambiance serene, and service superb. There were a couple of dishes that didn't wow but overall I can't complain at all. As someone who loves Indian food, this experience elevates while keeping true to its roots. Rania is absolutely deserving of its star, and I can't wait to return!

We opted for the 4 course menu ($90) or you can do the chefs tasting menu ($175) Each course had a vegetarian option which I loved.

Some of our favorite dishes were Gobhi Manchurian, shrimp Koliwada, Chana masala panisse, beef short rib with saffron nihari. For Dessert we had kesari mango and chocolate tart with masala chai ice cream, both were great. My only concern is that the staff needs to be trained in explaining the dish when it is brought to us. There seemed a language barrier, they explained very quickly and left before we could ask any questions. Our main server just took the order and got my wine. He never came to explain any food. We ordered masala chai, but it never came despite reminders. Parking can be hard, there are 2 garages, one closes at 10 pm. The other one is open until later but it's quite a walk and we paid $25 to park for 2 hours.
