We were further welcome by the soft solo piano music along with crisp white tablecloths and warm table lights. The wait staff waited on us with an appropriate balance of timeliness and space. The food was exquisite. I ordered a baked salmon that was wonderful. I cook salmon regularly at home and I am hard pressed to recreate how they prepared the salmon. My side of lentils was classic Indian deliciousness. The garlic naan was the final pièce de résistance! We loved our visit and look forward to returning.

Having had Butter Chicken in different states and countries, I found this version to be completely tasteless--it lacked any depth of flavor and was overwhelmingly spicy which made it nearly inedible. The Samosas were mediocre at best, and the accompanying red and green sauces were bland. Even the Garlic Naan was underwhelming. I'm not sure if this was just an "off" night for the kitchen, but based on this experience, I wouldn't recommend or eat here again. Much better Indian food can be found elsewhere.

Considering there is a 5* Indian restaurant across the street, it is difficult to not compare this restaurant to it. Jab We Met has your customary authentic Indian cuisine, however, in typical American fashion some of the flavor and heat is dialed down or inconsistent. The first time I visited, I was left wanting more in the flavor department. I asked for spicy, and although what I received would be considered spicy to some, it wasn't nearly as spicy as I expected for Indian cuisine. The depth of flavor can be inconsistent, although for American standards it is perfect. What I've experienced with some Indian restaurants is the flavor level depends on how close the batch is to almost empty. I've experienced some restaurants stretch their gravies by adding stock/water. Jab We Met seems to take pride in serving consistent gravy texture and consistency. The customer service is always good. The inside has an upscale decor, fitting for Capitol Hill and not your traditional Indian restaurant. There is a full size bar and window seating.The lunch special is perhaps the best value here. I'll continue to visit.

What an awesome restaurant... the food is absolutely delicious! Everything we ordered was…read moredelicious. Recommend starting with the Ragda Pattice and your main dish butter or tandori chicken. If they are serving scallops, order it! Whatever main dish you order, you have to order one of their house made chutneys. We really enjoyed the mango chutney. Also, don't forget the naan! We like plain or garlic. They are about a 5-7 min walk from the Capital One Arena. So, it is best to make reservations just in case you are trying to dine here when there is an event at Capital One. It gets crowded! Notable is the service. Our server was super friendly and. attentive. He made some very good recommendations, to include a glass of champagne that enhanced the meal.

The place is quite dark with that moody ambiance. It's also loud. Our server bhaskar was very attentive and a total sweetheart. I heard him ask a delivery driver if he wanted water or anything before he got his delivery order. Since we got the mixed grill, he recommended a new dish to us, chicken green masala. We also got the lacha paratha to go with it. The mix grill was nice to taste a bit of everything. The salmon was a bit undercooked in some areas but very tasty. The tandoori chicken was dry. The lamb was absolutely delicious and i could have eaten a whole platter of just that. The green masala has such warm spices and it was perfectly spicy. It went sooo well with the paratha. The paratha was flaky and buttery. The mushroom was so unexpected. I loved it so much. It was tangy and spicy. Perfect also. Overall, I'll be back for the mains, for the grill, i would definitely recommend the lamb but not others. This was our anniversary dinner, so bhaskar surprised us with a small ice cream and gulab jamun. Sooo sweet to recognize this. He is the best.

We were able to snag a table for Valentine's Day evening on their website and they did NOT overbook - we were seated within 5 mins. of arriving. Service was prompt and attentive without being intrusive. The cocktails were innovative and delicious; we loved the jalapeño passion fruit cocktail (spicy!) and the ginger mojito. We were very hungry but decided on 4 smaller plates, which was exactly the right amount of food. Highly recommend their Crab Kathi Roll appetizer, the Crispy Spinach with Dates, the Chicken Cafreal and the Eggplant Fritters - although the mild spicing and flavor of the eggplant was outshone by the other robustly flavored items; still tasty though. Service was friendly and crisp and the pricing was very economical especially considering the variety and quality of the food and beverage. A 5-Star keeper!!

Roasted to perfection and paired well with the chutneys. I also ordered the lamb vindaloo and it was lack luster to me.

I have a lot of favorite Indian spots and for the price and weird 'service' of this one.. it's a no for me on coming back. This was overpriced Indian food, served in to-go containers with Chipotle skimpy serving sizes you can't change or customize. So its missing the only redeemable factors of that style of restaurant. Y'all it was $20 for my veggie "platter". It's half two types of BEANS+ a veggie and some rice. MINI ROTI SEPARATE $2 (as disappointing as when tortilla chips+ salsa are a paid for thing, and not just on the table) Vegetarian is typically the cheapest option on the menu considering sourcing especially compared to meat. Yet the veggie options were no better than my attempt of Indian food at home, as a non-indian person lol. My family liked their entrees okay, butter chicken -$19, and lamb curry-$23 being the best option besides the 2pc Paneer Pakora-$8 appetizer. Gotta go up to grab your utensils or a lid which is fine, with luke warm water being the only self serve option here. So yay $4 regular drinks. I was unimpressed by their QR code 'service' only though and it stuck out to me. You order your food through a QR like many restaurants do, they bring you the food and then never come back to your table again. Not even if you place another order through the QR, we had to go find someone up front and see what was up. Could not order from the Bar menu QR either. On a Wednesday not a weekend thats pretty wild? I would not call any of it service. This form of ordering was set up with a good idea, and executed poorly. I know we have the money to go out to eat and that its a privilege to get to enjoy that- so damn it I want the money to be well spent!!! With Inflation that is a factor I'm looking at, and I believe the average customer is too. This restaurant needs to pick a lane, if it's going to be to-go style there better be some food to go with?? Not sure how Id leave the place with any food if this is whats given.
