Indian Food in Washington DC?

Yes, there is an Indian fast food restraunt in the food court at Union Station.  Unfortunately, the name escapes me right now.  The food is not bad for fast food, though IMHO it's not gourmet either.  It is available in various grades of spiceyness (be sure to specify "American medium" or "American hot" or you may set your tonsils on fire-- mild to most Indians is about as hot as a four-alarm fire). Prices are reasonable.

These folks also have a similar place in the Old Post Office downtown.  Quality and price are the same.

The worst part about eating at either place is finding a table--the food court has always been crowded when I was there.

There is an excellent Indian food stand in the Union Station food court. It is called either "Vegetarian Delight" or "Indian Delight" with a wide variety of freshly cooked foods. Make sure to get one of their LARGE lemonaids if you get one of their currys labeled "spicy".

The "O's" are playing the Yankees at 7:00 PM in Camden Yards on Sunday (6/26). MARC (Maryland Rail Commuter) trains will provide service to this game. Train #900 leaves Union Station at 5:05 PM - arrives Camden Yards 6:03 PM. Train #902 leaves Union Station at 5:35 PM - arrives Camden Yards 6:33 PM. The trains returning leave 20 minutes after the last out or one of the trains leaving Camden Station at 10:30 if the game runs past this time in order to ensure connection with Washington Metro which closes at Midnight. Round trip fare is $9.00.
