"we recently moved to dc and found ourselves in bethesda a few times for different borderings (it is a very fast and easy journey from the inner city dc on the red line). each time we used the opportunity to pay a visit to bethesda curry kitchen. bethesda curry kitchen not only makes unusual tasty versions of standard Indian fare (palak pakora, samosas, aloo gobhi, yellow daal and roti are all excellent), but also harder to find South Indian dishes (dosas, uttapam and ayival, a kokosmilch based curry that I really wish were more ubiquitous). all mentioned items are vegan and very clearly marked as such on the menu, which is a great help. the friendly staff also knows what vegan means, so just ask if they have any questions. Moreover, the restaurant seems to do a lunch buffet and a roaring take-out/delivery business options to consider for those who live the happiness or work near."
