Good Indian Restaurant??

[lachrimae7]

I'm looking for a really good Indian restaurant in the Gaithersburg/Germantown/Rockville area. Anyone? Of if I have to go a little further than that, I'm willing as well. Please let me know. Thanks!!!

India Palace in Germantown on Frederick Road is very good.

[lachrimae7]

can you tell me where on Frederick Rd it is? What's the closest cross street? Thanks!

India Palace is just South of Middlebrook. It's in a shopping center. I think it is called Fox Chapel. There is also very good vegetarian Indian nearby.

Thank you for your responses!!! I'll check out BB first, since it's closer. :D

I must admit I don't know a whole lot about Indian food, but I went to a Sunday brunch buffet at HAANDI on Fairmont Avenue in Bethesda and sampled a lot -- Yummy! And it was under $15.00, I believe. www.haandi.com

I really enjoy Haandi and find it is often overlooked for Indian in Bethesda. I agree with the praise for Passage to India, too.

I like Haandi too.

I agree - Passage to India in Bethesda and Bombay Bistro in Rockville are the places to go in Monkey County.

PTI is more upscale for a special occasion place, and has a menu that truly spans the breadth of Indian cuisine, but is correspondingly more expensive.

BB is more like your neighborhood Indian place - all of the usual standards, including excellent tandoori and fish.

Ok, maybe we'll try Passage to India after all!. Is this the right one? 4931 Cordell Ave, Bethesda? Thanks!!!!

dinwiddie, i gotta tell ya, i went to BB for my first time this past sunday for the buffet and I was a bit underwhelmed. that is not to say the food was bad, it wasnt, but it is DEFINITELY not as good as Minerva's buffet

In Kentlands its Tandoori Nights. A bit further south in Bethesda its Haandi and Passage to India (search board for recs).

I really enjoy Heritage in DC. There is a restaurant in Dupont Circle and I believe another one in Glover Park
