It is hard to churn out better Indian food than the juggernaut called Rasika (both locations) does, but, in my humble opinion, Daru accomplishes this! This is high praise from a huge fan of Indian food, first, and Rasika, second. The food is fantastic! For starters, we had scallops in a beautiful sauce of coconut, curry leaf and "gun powder" masala. Crazy good! The sauce was so good that we took our bread and sopped up every drop. Our second starter was Blue Cheese Tandoori Chicken kabobs! Yes, blue cheese and cherries!!! So unique and, like the scallops, had a wonderful sauce. Both dishes were perfectly balanced with all the exotic spices available to Indian food. As the food rolled around in our mouths, the various ingredients set off different taste buds - first the heat, then the deep dark sweetness of the sour cherries and finally the blue cheese (in the case of the kabobs - seriously, who EVER heard of blue cheese in Indian food???). And on and on. I do not know how they created a sauce that perfectly complimented the protein while retaining the individual component tastes - BUT THEY DID!!! It was beautiful and reminded me of why I love Indian cuisine so much. Our main courses were Chicken Tikka Masala and Nariyal Lamb Shank. The lamb shank was a huge piece of lamb with fork tender lamb perfectly cooked. Delicious! The sauce here was very robust - strong and luxurious! The spice took me to the brink of excess but stopped short thankfully. I loved each bead of sweat that popped on my forehead! But - as good as that lamb was - it was the Tikka Masala that was by far the star of this show! I have never had such delightful Tikka Masala. The sauce was so unique and so great that I am not sure I would have identified it as Tikka Masala if I had not ordered it myself. It did not taste of tomatoes so much as a creamy sauce made of perfectly balanced Indian exotic-ness. Again, the balance of each ingredient was amazing; one minute tasting hot spice, the next a luscious creaminess that took my mouth in a different direction. Perfection! Without a doubt, this was the best chicken Tikka Masala I have ever had - certainly way better than I have had at Rasika (either location). The dining room is pretty bare bones. An old Washington DC rowhouse that was renovated - we have seen these all over the city. You do not go to Daru for the elegant interior. You go to Daru for the perfect party of Indian spices that delights and makes you crave more. I am certain you will want to lick each plate! The service was fantastic too. Each staff member was happy to explain the dishes and take time with us. It is a loud restaurant so listen carefully. Highly recommend Daru to everyone! Call ahead and make reservations - for sure - because the dining room is small. But get there as soon as you can!
