Here are some of the best Indian restaurants in the D.C. area, as recommended by users of Quora, a social question-and-answer service.

1. Rasika

   This Penn Quarter restaurant is recommended by many. John Thomas says: "You can't go wrong with Rasika near the Verizon center."

2. Kabob n Karahi

   Andy Carvin says: "If you're just looking for good tandoori chicken or a kabob, my all-around favorite is Kabob n Karahi in Silver Spring's Cloverly neighborhood, near New Hampshire Ave. and Briggs Chaney Rd. It's no-nonsense counter service, and usually jam-packed with local Pakistani families. But their boneless chicken kabob and chickpea curry are to die for. No frills, but really, really awesome food."

3. Indique

   In Cleveland Park, Geetu Ambwani says: "Indique is pretty good - their Chettinad chicken in particular is outstanding." Tammy Gordon also recommends it.

4. Aditi

   Andy Carvin says: "Aditi in Georgetown has great tandoori. They use olive oil rather than ghee, so some dishes taste a bit different but they're still very good."

5. Taste of India

   Tammy Gordon says: "For delivery, I like Taste of India in Woodley Park."

6. Delhi Dhaba

   Andy Carvin says: "Delhi Dhaba in Arlington was pretty good. Counter service, cheap, but tasty."
