Who doesn’t love desserts? In anticipation of tomorrow’s release of our new Georgetown dessert menu, we have desserts on our mind. You could even say they’re on the tip of our tongue.
Shahi tukra is one of our favorites and it’s staying on the new menu. It’s a deliciously rich bread pudding that actually isn’t too sweet.
Stay tuned for more dessert-minded information tomorrow!

Cheers for Beers!
We love happy hour at Dupont Circle and so do you! Not surprisingly, Washingtonian magazine named our Dupont Circle bar one of the city’s best happy hour spots.
We have a special selection of beers to cheer aficionados of craft breweries. Our bartender points out two in particular.
Starr Hill IPA is lightly hopped, with refreshing citrus notes and pairs well with Indian food. It’s a rarity at bars, which makes us even more proud to offer it to you.
Goose Island is full bodied, crisp and “nicely hopped,” according to our bartender.
With these and many more choices, plus two for one tapas from 5-7 pm nightly, you’re sure to find good cheer at our Dupont Circle bar.
