Passage to India serves a great selection of Indian food in an elegant decor, reminiscent of the dining rooms of the Maharajahs. Chef Sudhir Seth introduced the concept of Regional Cuisines of the Indian subcontinent and showcases food from all over India with local ingredients and home blended spices. The restaurant is located on Cordell Ave, just 3 blocks from the Bethesda metro (Red Line).

    GM Raj, Owner Sonali, Chef Paul, and Team made our Thanksgiving Feast an absolutely spectacular one, every dish and bite of way! From the personalized touches in each dish to the pampering and timely service, we thoroughly love the simultanteously fine and comforting food to brighten up the cool and damp weather!

    The good thing is that the offerings are more varied than the typical Indian restaurant. The not-so-good thing is that the meals were not great. But, still, this is a decent-enough restaurant.

    Had a nice lunch with an old friend on a Friday. They had a reasonably-priced lunch menu. The food was delicious; the service was excellent, and the ambience and the noise level was conducive to conversation. Highly recommended if you like Indian food.

    Not what it was. Unprofessional staff who didn’t know their own menu. Food was dry. Very quiet for a Friday night. It was relatively inexpensive.

    We are regulars at PtI. The food and service are consistently excellent. It is the best place around to have a conversation and hear weekdays being said around the table. We will be back.

    Delicious food and good service as always but why ask if there is an occasion when making a reservation and then not acknowledge the birthday we were celebrating until we already paid the bill?

    In celebrate of a momentous Birthday celebration, Passage to India surpassed its already high standards through its exquisite fine Indian cuisine executed masterfully and personalized to our specific requests with truly exemplary service and attention to every detail led by GM Raj Dhakal! From their signature Goat Curry with Raj's special twist, Baby Eggplant in intensey nutty gravy, aromatically charred Spicy Tandoori Chicken Wings, to the delightful birthday treat of Malai Kulfi with Caramelized Orange Caramel, each and every dish was dreamy! In a metro area in which South Asian cuisine is outstanding, Passage to India is the Mount Everest!
