The Best New Thing in Mobile DC Food

skitched-20090915-065350.jpgLast night I was at an art opening on 14th Street. The art was great but I was also intrigued by the metal food trailer outside. It was broadcasting Mexican music via the speakers placed on its roof and was serving Indian food.

Curious me asked the woman behind the wheel what they are up to and then appeared a white man in a red turban, who explained that they were moved by Obama, got excited about doing a non-profit and ended up running an Indian restaurant on wheels. There are many non-sequitors in that explanation, but it is okay as the Indian food they serve up is incredibly great.

They provide three options: the taste ($3), the two things ($6) and three things ($9). I opted for the two things and got spinach with cheese and chicken tikka masala. A generous portion of basmati rice came with it.

I was blown away by the quality of the food. I love Indian and this was among the best that I have tasted. If you see this truck, run it down and eat dinner.

  • Nice. The Korean food cart on (approx.) 13th & L is great, too.
  • If it's anything like the Chicken n' Rice on 53rd Street in NYC I'm in.
