Washington, DC
Harry currently ranks 10 indian spots in Washington, scoring 80–92 on the Harry Score. Prices run $ to $$.
The ratio is everything. You can tell within one mouthful whether the spice blend was built or poured from a jar. Harry does not require nuclear heat — he requires layering: base first, aromatics second, finish third. If the curry tastes the same at every temperature, the kitchen is not cooking. It is warming.
Ranked by the Harry Score — a weighted blend of Google, Yelp, Tripadvisor, and critic mentions. No paid placements. No affiliate links.

Caveat: A flawless score with barely anything to check it against. Harry's cautious of 5.0s that haven't been tested yet.
