One of the better dining experiences I’ve had in DC - of any type of cuisine. Solid cocktails, very good service, delicious and incredibly inspired menu. Excited to go back.

This is hands down the best restaurant I have ever eaten at in the DC area. Service was outstanding, employees were friendly and gave amazing recommendations. If you are in the area, this place is a must. Do yourself a favor and eat here.Dietary restrictions: Plenty of gluten free options.
Great food, friendly & knowledgeable staff, good prices. A must-try!

Fantastic experience here. The bartender EJ was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate. The food was seriously good, chicken tikka tacos were so good that I ordered a full order of the chicken tikka to go!
Incredible fusion restaurant with creative, delicious dishes! The burrata dhal was one of the best dishes I’ve had in my

Our food and service were both great. My only complaint was the noise level. It was very loud and we had a hard time hearing one another unless we raised our voices quite a bit.
One of our favorite Indian restaurants in DC! Everything we’ve tried at Daru (Chicken Tikka Masala, Daal, Paneer Tikka, Dahi Puri and of course the Garlic Naan) has been amazing. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Highly recommended!
Absolutely loved the Dal Burrata here! Highly recommend it! Very cozy and nice dinner date kinda place. Was impressed with all the veggie options and good amount of food for the price! Would visit again to try different items!

Totally delicious food! Loved everything we ordered. The lamp chops were great, the burrata daal incredible. We did order the chutney platter and it never came even when we asked a second time. Literally not a big deal just was honestly really looking forward to it.

Outstanding experience at Daru! Great food and service in a wonderfully warm atmosphere.
Bad cancellation policy — even when dealing with unexpected illness. A bunch of clowns!

Terrible interaction cancelling a reservation. We notified the restaurant that a member of our party had tested positive for COVID, and then they proceeded to charge us a no show fee and implied we should've come anyway. Owner was incredibly rude over the phone.
