Masala Art Restaurant Review:
Tucked away in a line of shops, this tiny restaurant could almost be invisible. But its interior reveals a full display of artwork on the walls and an elegant table setup. Chicken 65, a South Indian preparation, and the lentil dumplings make fine starters. Fortunately, dishes not usually found at other Indian places are available, so here is a chance to experiment. How about lamb curry with beetroot, or potatoes with dried pomegranate seeds? Even several of the meal-enders are unusual: rabarhi, a milk dessert, and khurmani ka meetha, showcasing apricots. Also located at the South West Waterfront, 1101 4th St. SW, Washington, DC, 202-554-1101.
