Visited twice. Revised version of review:

First visit - May 2009:
The food was decent and reasonably priced (only about $7 each for a full meal with soup, main, rice, and a pakora,) and the people behind the counter knew exactly which items were vegan. There wasn't a lot of choice, but it was a food court, so that was to be expected. The staff were very polite and pleasant. It was great to get such good and reasonably priced food right in the middle of D.C's tourist haunts. The cleanliness looked somewhat suspect, however.
One thing about the food: the vegetables in the rice appeared to be from a frozen vegetable mix and were rather unpleasant in texture and about 100 per cent taste-free.
Thankfully, the place did not appear to be wimping out on spice: the food was nice and spicy.

Second visit - January 2010: Prices had gone up and the flavour had gone down to pretty much zero. I was disappointed. And I probably won't go back

The people behind the counter told us that this food court location and the Indian restaurant Nirvana are owned by the same people.

Pros: Location., Friendly staff.

Not a stand-out

I've been here twice, once for a full meal and once to get a samosa for a snack. Both times the food left me feeling underwhelmed. It was perfectly edible, but something about the seasoning seemed a bit off. I probably will not go back.

Pros: fast counter service, central location, calories listed on menu
Cons: food is not great, cash only
