An awesome Bangladeshi restaurant. Get the shrimp curry in coconut milk, the biryanis (lamb, or goat on Saturdays if you call ahead), the channa, and the fish curry, among other dishes. The halim appetizer is spectacular and indeed they all are. This place is a knockout and our dining companions loved it too. A must try.
Try Indigo in Northeast. 3rd and K NE. Excellent Indian.
