Though best used for soaking up spicy curries, naan pursues moonlighting careers as a part-time yoga mat and substitute eye mask. Chomp into a curry-covered favorite with today's Groupon: for $15, you get $30 worth of Indian fare and drinks at Bollywood Bistro in Fairfax.

Showcased in Washingtonian magazine's "Best of Fairfax" feature issue, Bollywood Bistro dishes out a menu of contemporary and traditional Indian delicacies, exotic wines, and imported suds. Patrons can halt a hunger ambush with an appetizer such as the assorted pakoras in cheese, onion, and vegetable flavors ($6.95) or the pan-fried and fennel-infused calamari ($5.95). An arsenal of vegetarian vittles ranges from the daal makhani, a blend of black lentils, double cream, and pureed tomatoes ($9.95), to the alu chole, an aromatic amalgamation of chickpeas, cocktail potatoes, and mango powder ($9.95). Instead of raiding the emergency jerky closet, protein cravers can sink chompers into the laal maas, a red-hot curried lamb ($14.95), and the classically creamy chicken tikka masala ($14.95). A kaleidoscope of naan noshes includes tomato cheese ($3.95), rosemary ($3.95), and garlic varieties ($3.50).

The Indian bistro bolsters a low-key, sophisticated atmosphere filled with the lively sounds of Bollywood music and the scents of aromatic spices. Lavished in black-and-white filmstrips of Indian stars and starlets, the restaurant's burnt orange walls provide a picturesque place to rest weary eyes and fulfill dreams of living inside a citrus fruit.
