'Too much is so good, you can't stop eating it. The tandoor-baked breads are not mere swabs for sauce but could be eaten, and enjoyed, on their own; the naan with cilantro and rock salt is terrific, as is the kulcha richly stuffed with minced lamb. Masala Art offers combinations you don't see often around here, but even its more familiar dishes can be revelations. Consider its samosas. They're flakier than a lot of the competition, and their filling of peas, potatoes and sweet raisins tastes fresher, too. A burst of cardamom in every bite helps. In the same vein, soft logs of minced lamb pulse with heat from jalapeno peppers, a shock offset with breezy mint. Pureed spinach is a vibrant green, flecked with corn and rich with garlic...' - WashingtonPost.com

My significant other and I had a great experience celebrating her birthday. Julio did very well attending to us despite it being his first day on the job. He was great and the food was also great!

The selling points of this place are many: seasonal decorations, food is exceptional, and service is professional at the highest levels. Serving sizes are large for entrees, so be prepared for leftovers, or split a dish with another person. I like their rigatoni with red sauce and sausage a lot.

We found this Belgian restaurant on Open Table while visiting a friend at Sibley Hospital, where dining options are pretty limited. It was a delightful surprise! One of our group, who has visited Belgium several times and loves Belgian cuisine, was especially excited. We shared several dishes: the mussels, a small cheese plate, and of course, frites paired with Belgian beer (Duvel, I believe). Everything was delicious! The atmosphere was cozy and authentic, and the service was very good. Highly recommend if you’re in the area and looking for a yummy meal. It truly felt like a little taste of Belgium.
