From Tamashaa (3115 14th Street, NW) in Columbia Heights:
“Tamashaa is celebrating the Festival of Lights with a Diwali menu that’s part feast, part fireworks. Start with Pani Puri Shots, crispy shells you fill and knock back in one bite, along with Rasgulla Chaat, a sweet and tangy twist on a street favorite. Then move on to
Tandoori Malai Lobster from the clay oven, Coastal Crab patties with chili lime aioli and Calcutta style Lamb Chops. The star of the table is Royal Butter Chicken, finished with a dusting of gold leaf, because Diwali calls for a little sparkle. The Bread Bar runs from black garlic naan to a smoked salmon and goat cheese kulcha. Save room for Kunafa and Daulat Ki Chaat, the cloud-light dessert from the streets of Old Delhi.
WHEN: Thursday, November 5 through Sunday, November 8, ending on Diwali itself.
WHERE: Tamashaa, 3115 14th St NW, Washington, D.C. Dine in, take it home or book festive catering for your own celebration.
WHY: Diwali is about light, family and a table full of good food. Tamashaa’s menu brings together flavors from Delhi to Goa to Himachal, with a few modern surprises along the way. Whether it’s your fiftieth Diwali or your first, bring your people and come hungry.”
