Please don't suggest Rasika; I've been there, it's great, but way too expensive for regular visits.


That’s like someone going to one city in America for a work trip and going back and proclaiming they don’t like the whole country. Smh




OP here. Not that I need to explain this to you, but...I went to 5 cities in 3 states of India. I was wheezing constantly and I had 4 asthma attacks, one of which was the worst I've ever had, because the air quality in India is beyond abysmal. I suppose not being able to breathe tainted my experience, but maybe I'm overreacting. So fabulous that some of you have never been to a country you didn't like before.

OP, this is the food forum…


She got her dig in about how she didn't like the country in the first post, and expected people would ignore it? Ugh,


So what if someone doesn't like India? I don't like Paris, but I still like French food. Some of you people are beyond insufferable.

See you said you don’t like Paris. Not the whole country.

Op has decided she doesn’t like the whole country, which is massive and spans from deserts to rainforests to snowy mountains. Is basically like Europe in that each state has their own language, customs, food, even clothing differences.

She can say she went to say, New Delhi and didn’t like it. (I personally avoid Delhi always, and I love visiting India). But she comes on here asking for authentic food recommendations while throwing in she doesn’t like the whole country. Lovely.





I’m sure some neighborhoods of Paris are highly offended that the PP has dissed the entire city of Paris. Have they been to every block? It’s not all the same!

And how does that affect your ability to give a restaurant recommendation? Quit manufacturing drama.


NP here, no one is 'manufacturing drama'. OP could have simply asked for restaurant recommendations without inserting her dislike for the whole country into it, but no, she had to lead with her hatred of the country!


You’re reading way too deep into this. Who said anything about hating a country? Dislike and hatred are totally different from one another. And apart from you, who the heck cares if she didn’t like India or not? It’s like some of you are looking for reasons to hijack a thread. What’s your point, that thou must love India or else? Come on. Much ado about literally nothing.

Food is delicious and has a great cocktail menu too. Plus nice owners and employees 🙂

We had an amazing meal at Virraj a couple weeks ago. Everything was great, but we particularly liked the palaak chat and samosa chat appetizers. Passage to India in Bethesda is good too, and the menu is organized around the regions of India where the dishes originate.

I didn't like Commonwealth, so you now have mixed reviews. But maybe I am just used to my stand-by, Bombay Bistro in Rockville.

I’m always surprised at how Bombay Bustro gets good reviews. I have been underwhelmed each of the 6 times I went there, thanks to friends who work nearby.
