'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

Great typical Indian food at a reasonable price. Don’t miss the bel photo appetizer or the rock salt cilantro naaan. Mediocre wine. Stick with beer - better with Indian food anyway

As a foodie and as someone who loves Indian food, I got to say this is one terrific restaurant and I will definitely go back. I grew up in northern India and like most Indians my favorite cuisine is Indian. The ambience is nice and so is Atul, but really the food is absolutely amazing!
