Bindaas

Washington DC

Chaat Place

PERMANENTLY CLOSED

The decor at Cleveland Park's Bindaas, a chic and colorful space with light pouring in and modern art on its walls, matches the equally vibrant menu of surprisingly light Indian street food. James Beard Award-winning Chef Vikram Sundaram focuses on Indian delicacies that are relatively hard to come by in the samosa-heavy landscape of American Indian restaurants. You'll find sandwiches like the soft-griddled Goan pork sausage pao, uttapam rice pancakes, and savory chaat snacks like puffed rice with raw mango and masala popcorn on the menu. Indulge in a refreshing craft cocktail while you're here, like the Silk Road, reminiscent of a whiskey sour and sweetened with mango.
