Kismet
$$ | Old Town
A spinoff of the posh Karma Modern Italian in D.C., Kismet offers a new take on Indian food: elevated dishes amid blue couches and booths, orb lights, and a mosaic-tiled bar. The menu follows the seasons, with favorites including red snapper peri-peri (hot sauce with red chilli peppers), lamb ghee roast, and tandoori pulled chicken with tartare sauce. On a warm-weather day, opt for the courtyard patio.
