Banjara Indian Cuisine, Ashburn

Each region in India boasts its own staple dishes. At Indian Taverna, the chefs mix ingredients and culinary techniques from each region to create a subtle blend of India’s flavors. The result: dishes like vegetarian dumplings simmered with cinnamon and nutmeg and lamb cooked alongside ginger and curry leaves. And, just like many households in India, the eatery houses a traditional clay oven that reaches extremely high temperatures to seal in the flavor of naan and tandoori chicken marinated in spiced yogurt.
