Ashok Bajaj of Knightsbridge Restaurant Group has announced
the October, 2017 opening of a new, second Bindaas, at The Shops at 2000
PENN, 2000 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW. This second
location will be a larger interpretation at 3,300-square feet, in
comparison to 50-seat sister restaurant Bindaas in Cleveland Park, which
opened in August 2016 at 3309 Connecticut Avenue, next door to Ardeo.
“The name Bindaas originated in India in 1993 and means independent,
cool and carefree, showcasing innovative Indian street food,” states
Ashok Bajaj. “The location is an ideal one for Bindaas, as it is close
to the George Washington University campus in the Foggy Bottom
neighborhood and the World Bank. After the positive feedback from
patrons and excellent reviews in The Washington Post and Washingtonian, we are encouraged and believe the community will be supportive of this sister restaurant.”
At the new location, guests can anticipate savory snacks, kebabs,
with vegetarian options as well as pork, fish, chicken and beef street
food dishes that are easy on the wallet and priced from $9 to $14. For
libations, one will find an international wine list, Indian beers and
whiskey selections, along with craft cocktails reflecting the spirits
and spices of India. A dining experience at Bindaas ranges in the $40 to
$45 per person price point. A small sampling from Group Executive Chef
Vikram Sunderman’s opening menu will include dishes such as
Pathar Gosht, a lamb kebab cooked on a stone oven served over a bed of saffron rice with saffron and cashews, Uttapam, a fermented rice pancake with lentils and shrimp pepper; Bhel Puri, a Bombay seaside snack with raw mangoes, lentils, puffed rice which is sweet and savory, and a wrap, the
Kati Roll with Goan Pork.
