Deshi Spice<\/strong>, 5169 Lee Highway, Arlington, VA<\/a> (northeast corner of George Mason Drive and Lee Highway), 703-533-7270 (Metro Trip Planner<\/a> – opens in new window) [Don Rockwell<\/a> | Yelp<\/a> | TripAdvisor<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Update 2013<\/strong>: Closed. Now Aladdin<\/a>.<\/p>\n

An intriguing place, which isn\u2019t quite yet as Bangladeshi as it should be. I recommend ordering the haleem<\/a>, the chotpoti<\/a> (white chickpeas), the vegetable curry, and the Bangladeshi fish, which usually has to be ordered in advance. That makes for a proper Bangladeshi meal, more or less. The other items -\u2013 which are more or less Indian food — seem to be of mixed quality, by no means bad on average, but not having all of the kinks worked out. This place still might get better, and it\u2019s already worth trying as it is.<\/p>\n
