The Room
Indique opened on Connecticut Avenue in 2003 — a serious modern-Indian dining room. Twenty-two years later the room is one of DC's most-enduring modern-Indian institutions.
Eater DC has held Indique on its top-Cleveland-Park rankings every year of operation.
The Food
The tandoor programme runs lamb, chicken, and seafood. The seasonal-rotating curries, the rice-and-bread programme run as the menu's spine.
Wine programme is short, weighted toward Riesling. Cocktails are Indian-spice-led.
Best Occasion Fit
Birthday: Birthdays at Indique are warm, modern-Indian affairs the room has hosted for over two decades.
First Date: The bar at Indique is one of Cleveland Park's reliable first-date seats.
Team Dinner: The dining room handles tables of ten to twelve.
