Cusbah - Washington DC

We had Sunday lunch and really enjoyed ourselves. the food was delicious, the staff was friendly and engaging and the drinks were great! One of our party had never had Pakistani/Indian food before and the staff was very attentive to her likes and dislikes and spice level. We had a variety of food from Chicken Korma to Lamb Vindaloo to Rogan josh and there was very little to take home. Thank you for such a wonderful afternoon!

Best lamb chops ever! What a gourmet meal with hospitality from the staff too. I had never seen the herb rosemary used in a drink and then even lit on fire.

I am so happy that I found the Cusbah restaurant! They call themselves a 'south Asian spice bar. ' Indian and Pakistani food everything was so good, including the attentive service. I started with a cocktail called Jasmine made of Smirnoff wild honey vodka, grapefruit shrub and fresh lemon juice. Very good. For dinner, I had the lamb roganjosh and the baingan bhurta (grilled, mashed eggplant) with basmati rice. My cousin had the samosas and saag. Everything was so good! Dessert was rice pudding with almonds, cashews and pistachios.

Where to start...the food was incredible, best vegetable pakora I've ever had. The lamb chops were perfectly cooked, tender, and dynamically seasoned. As good as the food was, the staff was even more memorable. Mustard and Nico where attentive, kind, and so much fun to be around. Order time to food delivery was mind blowing (10 min? . A must experience on anyone's list...

Great spot around the corner makes coming here so easy. Chicken Akbarai Korma with Kashmiri naan. You'll thank me later. The biryani are also good, and lamb Rogan Josh is indeed a fan favorite. Strike up a conversation with owner Soophia so nice they named a drink after her
