    logo_new.jpeThe Ambassador Dining Room in Baltimore, famous for its sumptuous champagne brunches and beautiful garden seating, is my favorite English-style Indian place in the world. That list includes the English-style Indian in England; Brick Lane may be good but Ambassador is better.
    But Baltimore is far away and scary, so for the rest of us there’s Heritage India in Dupont. As the creeping tentacles of tapas invades every cuisine, we finally find a place that does tiny, pretty, traditional dishes right.
    I highly suggest the Vegetable Fritters and any of the curried specialties. There’s an extensive vegetarian menu and enough breads to tempt the most hard core Atkinser. I’ve read a few complaints about service online but I found it just fine. Prices are shockingly acceptable.

  • Their “Executive Lunch” specials are also incredible. I go there at least once per week for the lamb curries. The specials are $12.95 and include nan, rice, two curries and lentil soup, although there is a curry of the day for $9.95 that doesn’t include the nan or extra curry.
    I haven’t tried the tapas, but I to am concerned about the creeping tapas threat to traditional cuisine.
