From a press release:

“This November, Karma Modern Indian, the upscale, innovative new Indian eatery, will open its doors in Mount Vernon Square (611 I Street NW).

Owned by Sachin Mahajan and Ricky Singh, Karma Modern Indian offers a small plates-focused dining experience, reimagining traditional Indian flavor profiles in a unique and creative way. Karma’s diverse offering of signature cocktails provide unexpected and inventive pairings to the robust menu. Designed by SWATCHROOM, local D.C. design, art and fabrication firm, the interior presents a balanced, elegant atmosphere that is authentically approachable.

The 5,000 square-foot space in the newly built 600 Massachusetts Ave building features soaring ceilings and a contemporary and globally-inspired interior, featuring several art installations that feature Indian spices, rich textiles and plaster impressions. Karma’s aesthetic balances natural and handmade elements with the elegance of grey tones and gold metal accents.

Karma will offer guests three unique experiences in the space: an elegant bar and lounge area, a vibrant main dining room, and a private dining section that will seat 30 guests. Accommodating more than 130 guests in the airy bar and main dining room, Karma’s comfortable and flexible seating areas can equally entertain intimate groups or large gatherings.

The restaurant –brokered by local real estate group Papadapoulos Properties — will join Farmers and Distillers, RPM Italian, and more in the Mount Vernon Triangle neighborhood.

Karma Modern Indian, named with an acknowledgment to positivity and social responsibility, will donate a portion of sales to both local and global charities, aiming to help children and impoverished communities domestically and with a global focus on India.“
