Karma Modern Indian creatively reimagines classic Indian cuisine and flavors, using locally-sourced ingredients prepared with traditional and modern cooking methods. We aim to make Indian food more approachable by introducing the traditional cuisine with contemporary plating and forward-thinking flavor profiles. Favorites like naan bread, Palak paneer and Chicken Tikka are still part of the foundation of our menu, but we’ve put a modern twist on various dishes with unexpected seasonings and ingredients like truffle oil, pesto and star fruit.
Our team of well-known Washington fixtures with A-list pedigrees have a committed passion for pushing the envelope with a mission to create an unforgettable dining experience for our guests.
Executive Chef Ajay Kumar takes Indian cuisine to the next level with unconventional menu items like octopus, duck and quinoa to the roster. Bar Director Harley Mocker complements these dishes with a list of five rotating classics cocktails as well as Indian-influenced sips – along with thoughtfully paired biodynamic wine list.
As the name “Karma” relays, we are proud to donate a portion of our sales to local and global charities that aim to help children in impoverished communities at home and around the world.
We look forward to hosting you,
Sachin Mahajan and Ricky Singh
