Tandoori Nights, web site (Flash), 2800 Clarendon Blvd., Arlington, VA, 703-248-8333 (Metro Trip Planner – opens in new window) [Washingtonian | Wash Times | City Paper | Yelp]
Remember how Clarendon was once the epicenter of good ethnic dining? Well, those days are long since gone.
Avoid the Tandoori here. Some of the vegetable dishes are not bad. Don’t think this substitutes for any of the real Indian places around. But some of you will be caught short in Clarendon, wondering where to go, and tempted to try this. What can I say? You should be in your car driving down to Minerva. But you’re not. Boo-hoo. Give Tandoori Nights a try, but don’t complain to me if you go home disappointed. The décor is nice.

I’ve got to agree there. Harry’s Tap Room and a few other places in that area are just beyond barely palatable, with Boulevard Grill being one of the worst offenders. I still go to those places for a drink and the ambience, but they are really NOT that good! I just don’t understand why!
