“Restaurateur Ashok Bajaj of Knightsbridge Restaurant Group announces the mid-December closing of the year-old restaurant, Rosedale, to be replaced by Malabar in mid-January 2026. Located at 4465 Connecticut Avenue, NW, 20008, in the Forest Hills neighborhood in the northwest quadrant of the nation’s capital, the incoming restaurant, Malabar, will bring modern Indian fare, with a culinary team led by Group Executive Chef Vikram Sunderam.

Malabar will serve dinner and Sunday brunch and is within easy walking distance of the Van Ness UDC Metro station. (more…)
