What people say, in short
Most commenters recommend Tikka DC, which one places close to the Van Ness metro stop; a few describe the food as tasty, excellent or delicious, and one finds the prices affordable for the quality and quantity. One diner enjoyed the malai kofta and paneer makhani as takeout, and another found the garlic naan freshly made.

Two are mixed: one found the momo just okay, and another felt the ambience trails Daru's, though a different diner praised the lighting and atmosphere.

Ordered takeout and enjoyed the kofta and makhani dishes, but found the momo merely okay. Hasn't dined in, so can't speak to table service.
