The service could use a bit of improvement, but the food is so outstanding it makes up for it! One of my favorites in DC (after Rasika) :)
We had a good experience during our dinner at Indique. Their appetizers are top-notch. This was our second time at Indique and we loved the puchka shots and paratha chicken tacos. The crab cornetto was ok. The entrees were, however, a little bit of letdown especially Dal Makhani. The traditional dal makhani is very buttery and creamy but the one we got at Indique was very watery and tasted like regular Dal. The chicken makhani was also not the best we had. It was less buttery and more tomatoay. The chicken, however, was well done and very tender. The whole wheat roti was really nice and crisp. Overall, we wish the entrees would have been better and more authentic but we would definitely revisit just for the appetizers and the ambience.
Pretty good. Good array of Indian food with some unexpected choices.
It's good - I enjoyed my experience and the service and environment were stellar - but the flavor was not the best I've had at this price range for Indian food. Regardless, I recommend it and will likely return.
Indian food with a contemporary twist. Upscale atmosphere and awesome staff. The menu has your typical items, but what comes out will impress you.
I would go here every day if I could. The food is spectacular and they have some great house cocktails. It also has a nice atmosphere.
The all-you-can-eat-in-2-hours Sunday Brunch special is amazing. For an extra fee, you can drink as much as you want as well, and when I say drink, I do mean alcohol. However, be prepared to try new things here. You won't find any American classics on this menu.
Indique is such a great place, very authentic and tasty Indian food (high praise from someone who was raised on homecooked Indian food). It has a wonderful environment, and reasonably priced. The waiter we had was super personable and upbeat, which is always refreshing.
Indique truly is a unique, exotic Indian experience, combining flavors from both northern and southern India, influence from typical Indian street snacks, and a flavorful, creative cocktail program.
The owners are passionate curators of their craft, having been open since 2002. Some of the team is still with the restaurant since the beginning, watching the owners' sons grow up. Their sons too, Sahil and Rahul, are passionate leaders in their own right, willing to make friends with customers, serving and leading the team, and promoting the love for their culinary vision.
I was blown away by the presentation, the level of service, and the quality of the dishes. Each dish is truly distinct and flavorful. I recommend the Shrimp Curry, the A Must Have cocktail, the Cauliflower Chili Fry, and Cucumber Raita. If you want something fun and creative, get the Shrimp Puchka Shots (no alcohol!)
I recommend the seating on their small balcony (if available) to dine with the busy backdrop of Cleveland Park.
Overall - a fantastic experience I'll continue to recommend.
This place is awesome!! One of my go to spots for brunch - the food is always great and the drinks are poured perfectly (mimosas are always on point and your glass is never empty if you go bottomless). The brunch menu is bottomless and has a wide range of different plates to try and you won't be disappointed by any of them. Every dish has a unique flavour you won't find any where else. The owners are always involved and take time walking around to check on every table (which has always been a sign of a great restaurant in my experience). Can't recommend this place enough, go now!
Two words-food coma! Interesting fusion Indian food.Very authentic flavors.. definitely new favorite! Service is quick too.
Great location right next to the Cleveland Park metro station. I felt the main courses weren't very interesting, but the appetizers and especially a few of the desserts are quite unique, artfully made, and very tasty for the price. My friends have bland tastebuds, so I'm very glad we asked the waiters for their recommendations.
Indique is one of those restaurants that exceeds expectations for any type of event. Whether it's a family dinner or a date night out, this place will impress. The food and custom cocktails are both imaginative and comforting. There are a lot of familiar tastes along with some outside the box thinking that leaves a ton of options for everyone. I highly recommend it.
