Taste of Mumbai: The sights, sounds, and flavors of Mumbai are closer than you might think in our nation’s capital. For some of the best Indian seafood, be sure to also check out the recent opening of Malabar — the latest debut from restaurateur Ashok Bajaj. Savor scallops caldine, a Goan scallop preparation made with coconut and green chile, or dive deep into ginger cod with tamarind and jaggery.
Tables for Dads & Grads: Early June turns tables quickly thanks to graduation celebrations and Father’s Day, making it slightly tougher to nab a table with short notice. But we have the inside track on openings for restaurants that cater to larger parties. We love the waterfront views at Sequoia DCor the patio perch at Del Mar.
Crab Shack Summer: Summer officially begins on June 21 — which means Chesapeake crab season is here. Pull up to a table and pick crabs all afternoon long in the DMV. Our top picks (well-seasoned with Old Bay) include Tickler’s Crab Shack in Tilghman Island, Md., Quarterdeck in Arlington, Va., and the new crab feast Thursday events at Cowbell Seafood in Union Market.
New to the Hit List (June 2026) Acqua Bistecca, Albi, Bombay Club, Catahoula, Namak, Rosselli.
