Cafe Ashiana is a small Indian restaurant on Harvard Ave in Capitol Hill, working from a compact menu of curries, biryanis, and samosas. Seating is limited, and the place has built a following on the strength of its kitchen rather than its size.
Chapli kababs and biryani are the dishes regulars come back for, and the food carries a reputation for bold, layered flavor. People who eat here often mention the owner and staff by name, pointing to a hands-on style of hospitality that shapes the whole experience.
