Jab We Met Indian Kitchen sits on 8th Street SE in Capitol Hill, turning out a broad menu of Indian classics: vegetarian dishes like paneer makhani and vegetable korma, non-vegetarian curries spanning chicken, lamb, shrimp, and fish, plus tandoori kebabs, biryanis, and a long list of naan and other breads.
The bar runs its own program alongside the food, with cocktails like the Maharaja Margarita and Twisted Negroni, and Indian beers including Kingfisher and Taj Mahal lager. Weekend brunch rounds out the regular lunch and dinner service.
Regulars point to the restaurant's family-run hospitality and attentive service as much as the food itself, with a reputation built largely on word of mouth from the Capitol Hill neighborhood it serves.
