Stopped by here the other day with my mom after an exhausting 7 hour trip to DC. The food was great and the owner Sandeep was very nice. Great customer service if I’m ever back in DC will def visit again. Every dish we had was flavorful.

Jab We Met Indian Kitchen was an awesome surprise — the food was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared, with bold spices and great balance.

We stopped in during happy hour and loved the cocktails — creative, well-made, and a great value. The service was warm and attentive without being rushed, and the atmosphere felt relaxed enough to enjoy a long meal.

Whether you’re craving classic Indian dishes or just want a great spot for drinks and bites with friends, Jab We Met delivers. We’ll definitely be back!

I booked a reservation to celebrate three of my friends' birthdays (all in the same week!). I emailed the owner beforehand to ask if I could drop off a cake with candles to be brought out at the end of dinner. They were so kind and accommodating! They even surprised us with a complimentary bottle of champagne for the table and shots for everyone. The waitresses were incredibly sweet and sang happy birthday to my friends. 10/10 — the food was delicious, the service was outstanding, and I can't wait to come back!

Jab We Met was an ok place for dinner. The ambiance is a little bit "nightclub" thanks to the music. The food was good. Service was friendly. Overall, it's a solid spot for a casual dinner, but not quite a must-visit.

We enjoyed the delicious food at this elegant Capital Hill restaurant. Highlights included: tender lamb curry in a silky red curry sauce, cauliflower with spices, saag paneer, cheese in creamy spinach, homemade raita and chutney, pappadam to start. Everything tasted fresh and mild was spicy enough!

Fantastic new spot. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Will definitely be back.

This was our first time visiting Jab We Met, and we will definitely return. Its a lovely space with comfy banquet seating and the food was really good. I tried the palak chat and though it's different to Rasika's version, it was good but would be greatly improved with less of the sauces on it (maybe put on the side for people to drizzle their own?) The 3 different curries we had were all excellent, as were the breads. The service was excellent most of the time, though oddly, we found it a little difficult to get someone's attention to get the bill at the end. It wasn't a huge problem but odd given how attentive our waiter had been until then. We did not try any of the interesting sounding cocktails but will do next time! I would definitely recommend visiting Jab We Met for good food, service and nice surroundings.
