Daru

So good! Top restaurant in dc for me. Love the flavor combinations . Usually fusion isn’t my favorite but it’s so well done here. Pakistani and North Indian food is what i grew up on and these flavors hit so well. So many gluten free options, knowledgeable staff on allergies. Loved everything we tried and can’t wait to come back and try more on the menu. Shout out to Dawn for such great service and being so knowledgeable!

We enjoyed our dinner at Daru. The food is really different and delicious. It is elevated without being pretentious and the portion sizes are good. The cocktails are also unique, and while expensive, at least they’re not the same old. The gluten free items were clearly labeled on a gluten free marked up menu. I felt there were plenty of options. I generally dislike the mandatory 20% service charge, and believe it leads to menu price distortion. However I heard the servers say to each table that 20% was included in the check. We would have tipped at least 20% anyways.
