We had a party of six here on a Saturday night - no reservation and were able to get seated for a late dinner pretty easily. The place is casual - so don't expect full service restaurant. You sit outside on the heated covered patio on picnic tables and order your food, they bring it out but you go grab your plastic utensils and napkins, and drinks from the bar.
The bar is the only thing I'd say could use improvement. The drinks were not very good, in my opinion. Perhaps I should have ordered beer or wine.
The food is great and I honestly really like the atmosphere for a casual dinner. It's fun, it's a laid back vibe. I will go back for sure next time I'm in DC!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Apr 9, 20241 check-in
The ambiance here is very unique in the sense that it is patio only and you have to order via an online website. I liked this because I thought it was very different and also sped up the process of getting the food and leaving.
I ordered the spicy butter chicken and it was ok. My friend ordered the spicy chicken tikka and I preferred it much better. The garlic naan is cool, but didn't have enough garlic for me. I also enjoyed the mango lassi, but it wasn't worth the price.
The service was standard because the servers only bring out your food and never come check on you again.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Mar 22, 20241 check-in
My friend and I stopped by this past Monday for dinner since it's one of her go-tos in the area. Majority of the seating is outside, but they have a tent that covers the seating area and lots of heaters. The ordering process is done online and so is the payment method (so you pay before the food is ordered and they will bring it out to you). The restaurant was pretty lively when we went with good vibes.
CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA MEAL - 19
A bit pricy, but that's DC for ya. The portion is pretty big -- a 12 oz. cup of chicken tikka masala (lots of chicken, tomatoes and curry -- yum) along with a bed of basmati rice topped with raw spinach (no cilantro for me) and chickpeas. The chickpeas were super flavorful and you could eat all of your rice with just the chickpeas and spinach, to be honest. The chicken tikka masala was good (nothing extraordinary) but I found the sauce a bit watery (maybe that's how it should be, but the rice didn't soak it up very well). I would probably try a different entree next time.
PALAK PANEER (8 OZ) - 9
The palak paneer was so garlicky and a good amount of paneer in it, which were soft and enjoyable. I loved how garlicky it was!! The only issue is that it was on the saltier side, so I had to eat a lot of rice to even it out. Overall, the texture was very smooth and creamy and perfect
MANGO LASSI - 5
Again, nothing out of ordinary but mango lassi is always good and enjoyable. We enjoyed one as a "dessert" after our meal since we wanted something sweet to balance out the savory dinner we had.
Indigo is a good option for Indian food in the Noma area, I would recommend giving it a try.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Mar 14, 2024
I come here for the chickpeas, known as Chana Masala, on the menu!
I like to get the veggie plate, but I also love the butter chicken!
I've tried the Curry shrimp, but the spice was way too much for me.
Until this week, I've always ordered take out. It was a pleasant experience sitting outside on the covered patio.
They have qr codes on all of the tables for you to order, and they bring your food out to you.
They also have water stations, extra utensils, sauces, and to-go lids readily available inside. Oh, and starting at 5 pm, a bar! Until then, you can order order beer.
I plan to start sitting down more here to enjoy my meal.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Mar 7, 2024
The food here is amazing and well known across the city as some of the best authentic Indian food in DC!!
The service and food is fast. It comes out piping hot and is always consistent. Easy walk up ordering system and a large seating area.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Feb 12, 2024Updated review
I like the food so much at Indigo that I never noticed the dining area is only outside--there's no "inside" possible.
Recently, I was invited to a family celebration here, so, of course, jumped at it.
But wait--when arriving--it finally registered with me that our merrymaking would be outside. And it's winter now. I said to myself: "this is gonna be uncomfortable".
Well, fear not, Indigo is ready. They've got portable electric heaters placed strategically about the space and customer's orders are brought out hot and steaming.
I actually enjoyed myself in the nippy winter weather we're having in the DMV as I stayed pleasantly warm. The heaters carried the evening.
The lamb curry is still killer as is the chicken masala. These 2 enduring Indian dishes are consistently prepared the same, and reliable. I always get a big hunk of bread to go along with the combo meal, which is an extra charge. I favor any of the prantha selections however there are others. A large Taj Mahal beer is the perfect complement.
The portions are generous, always have leftovers to take home.Helpful 7Thanks 0Love this 4Oh no 0Jan 16, 2022Previous reviewFood is prepared with care and comes hot and fresh.
Decent pricing. To-go orders are packaged up securely. Friendly counter staff.
The menu seems pretty wide-ranging.
I enjoyed every dish that I had my first time; including lamb curry, cauliflower/potato side, bean side, vegetable samosa.
Positive spirit here; they aim to please.
Family-owned and operated. The love of food is readily apparent. - Tommy B.Silver Spring, MD0928Apr 26, 2024
The food was absolutely amazing. The Paneer Pakora are a great appetizer with it managing to be flavorful despite being simple ingredients. The mango chicken and Punjabi chicken dishes were also great entree picks with both being spiced perfectly and well portioned. It was also great that the dishes were served with rice and chickpeas. The service was great with our food coming out relatively quickly and there being self-service chutneys for the meal. The environment of the restaurant is really great making it an ideal place to bring friends!

Pleasantly shocked and amazed. Food was fantastic, in portion sizes were good. It's a little different than the Indian food I'm familiar with, but just as good, maybe even better.
The only thing I'm not fond of is a $4 tiny bottle of Diet Coke. And I'm especially not fond of a tiny diet coke served in a glass bottle.
The service was very fast and the staff were ultra helpful. The dining area is outdoor inside a plastic enclosed porch. But despite it being 35° outside, the space was very well heated so it was comfortable.
If I lived in this area I would be eating here frequently.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Aug 23, 2023
Excellent homey Indian restaurant bursting with flavor! I ordered a feast - Saag Paneer, Dhal Makhani, Malai Kofta, Samosa, Roti, and Mango Lassi. Everything was on point and the curries weren't greasy or too spicy.
The Saag Paneer was my favorite followed by the creamy Dhal Makhani was tasty while the Malai Kofta had a spicy kick. The stretchy handmade Roti was delicious! I got 2 samosa for the price of one!
While the $18 Vegetarian Paradise was a fun way to sample a couple of dishes, I wasn't a fan of the Channa Masala or the rice. I would just stick to a side order of curry for $7. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the food and appreciate the small portions.
The corner restaurant has lots of shaded seating with picnic tables and a back area, as well as a bar to order cocktails. You can order outside using a QR code to go inside.
Note the area around the restaurant is a bit shady and do not recommend walking through the railroad underpass - go up/down 3rd street, it's much safer.
Restaurant is open Mon - Sat from 11am - 9pm and closed on Sunday.
Def will be back and worth the trek from Chinatown!Helpful 4Thanks 2Love this 3Oh no 1
