Reviews for Pappe in 1317 14th St NW, WA
Leaning more towards a 3.5. We initially came for happy hour to get their Kati rolls, but once we were seated we were told the... happy hour is only at the bar. We decided to have dinner and order from the menu. We started with the samosa chaat which waspretty disappointing. Very small and didn't have all the usual toppings. For entrees we split the allepey fish curry, lamb shankcurry, tandoori chicken, and paneer masala. We also ordered 3 garlic naans. This was all split within a party of 5. Out ofeverything we ordered the fish curry was the best thing. It was sea bass which was delicious and really flavorful. The lamb waspresented well, but the taste was a little bland. The naan was good but small, order at least one per person. Mango lassi wasgood. Overall out of everything we ordered I only enjoyed my mango lassi and the fish curry. Everything else was average.

In Washington DC after visiting various attractions all day we went to Indian restaurants called Pappe! Every food item on a... menu has some kind of twist and fusion but that does not compromise the authentic tastes of Indian food. The place has anamazing raw and authentic ambience. We tried Indian thali and it was awesome. Read more
The food was excellent, I found the flavors to be extremely unique. The jamun was the only let down, though the ice cream made... up for it. The service was bad - enough to ruin the dining experience. Our waiter was not courteous and couldn’t care lessabout us. Read more
It was certainly a very busy evening at this place on a Sunday evening! I had heard and read a lot of good things about the... place. The drinks did not disappoint but the food was mostly cold, and average Indian food. The spice level was dialed down butit was definitely good. I will try and visit again on a non-busy day to hopefully experience better food and service. Read more
We went on a impromptu trip to Washington DC. After visiting various attractions all day we searched for some good Indian... restaurants and we found Pappe! Every food item on a menu has some kind of twist and fusion but that does not compromise theauthentic tastes of Indian food. 1) The Chillitini and the old monk cocktail is a must try! 2) Pappe has an amazing raw andauthentic ambience. We tried tandoori chicken, gobi manchurian, chicken Malabar and biryani. I would rate everything 5/5!!! 3) Also, one of my friend follows Jainism (cannot eat root vegetables and some fruits). After giving the chef/manager a list offood items my friend couldn’t eat, the chef quickly made the food without giving a second thought! And this rarely happenswith my friends since he cannot eat root vegetables and restaurant managers or chefs always don’t accommodate suchrequests. 4) don’t miss the Rasmalai tres leches and the chai crème brûlée!!!

Hostess didn’t check in with us after seating for about 10 mins, the bar tender finally had to come over and take our order.... Some reviews over the past few weeks on Google have indicated staff issues looks like they are still resolving them. The foodtook even longer-25 min wait for the food to arrive, only saving grace was the food, reasonable quality. If you are looking fora good night out I would avoid making this your destination for the night! Hope the restaurant owners really focus on theservice, the food and ambiance is great and it’s sad to see it get negated just because of the service. Read more
This app seriously needs a 1/2 star option. As it was better than 4 star but not 5. Butter chicken was on point. Almost too... much meat to sauce ratio as I ordered the garlic Naan to lap up the butter chicken sauce. Spice and flavor wise it's a soliddish. The mango lassee was solid as well. For desert went with the cream brule option and it was 3.5ish. They prepare it withtheir own twist and maybe that's why it's 3.5 to my pallette. It wasn't bad. It wasn't great and for the empty calories I wantsome great dessert. But give it a try and let me know what you think. Read more
