Pansaari

Amazing restaurant, bar, and venue! We went last Friday night and order a bunch of food from the bar menu and tried all four of their Indian-themed cocktail drinks. All were delicious! And cheap! Cocktails were $9-10 and delicately created. I don't remember all we ate, but I liked all of it! They were lightly fried and went great with the cocktails. Will have to come by for brunch and get a real meal there soon! I'd go here for happy hour every week if it were closer to work. Also, the interior decorations were very unique and unlike any other restaurant I've been to here in DC. Had a great vibe about the place. A perfect place to chill for a drink and chat with friends.

We were visiting a friend in D.C. who raved about the food here and took us to try it out. This is Authentic Indian food server in traditional plates. It was a cold rainy day but the flavors in the food just made everything right. The decor was unique besides the aspect of how it was part restaurant part cooking school. I understand the concept but perhaps a partition would help keep the restaurant area more cozy.

I come here often and enjoy the food and chai here. The staff are really laid back and friendly. The spiciness of the food can vary depending on who is cooking in the kitchen, but you could probably tell them to make something less or more spicy when you order. I prefer hanging out here over Starbucks. It's an interesting mix of things in that space.

This place stole my heart! Not only is this super gorgeous, they also have the best parathas, just like home! The dosa was killer And I don't think I can even put in words the wonder that their chai is! Ordered: gobhi, aaloo, paneer and chicken parathas, Mysore masala dosa, sweet lassi, ginger masala chai and ginger lemonade. Everything was spot on!

Was in town for a business meeting and had time to grab dinner close by before heading out. I had been craving some Indian food (it's been a while since I've been home!) and thought I'd give Pansaari a shot. No regrets. Staff was super friendly, plenty of great options on the menu and everything we ordered was delicious. Great to show my (non-Indian) coworkers what real Indian food tastes like! Will definitely visit again when I'm back in DC!

I was in DC with my family visiting friends and wanted some good Indian food. We were amazed at the quality of food at Pansaari and happy to have found it. The restaurant was very big and spacious enough for a large group of us. The quality of the food was amazing -- it's hard to find authentic Indian food but Pansaari had it! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants real Indian food in DC!

I was in D.C. to visit a friend and we were in the mood for authentic Indian food. We found Pansaari and we were wowed by the entire experience. Food was incredible! I'm Indian and my mom is an incredible cook — the food reminded me of home. It wasn't crowded / loud but it also wasn't too quiet, which made for a cozy ambience. Oh and the staff were all very friendly. Great vibes all around. I would 100% come back here for another meal when I'm in town!
