Riding a Limo to DC to get Vindaloo at Indique

Trip In A Reston LimoTrip In A Reston LimoIndique Dessert

A few weeks back Network Solutions had organized a webcast " Grow Smart Business Webinar" and after the webinar . Kristina Boweiri of Reston Limo organized a reunion of the panel at the Indique restaurant in Cleveland Park . it was a great event and the discussion centered around sharing experiences and getting an understanding of everyone's interests, success stories etc.

Food  was great. Chef Vinod really displayed a great spread and I think everyone relished the meal. Tom Heath and Kristina enjoyed the spicy Vindaloo but  I didnt taste it which was funny because It should be the other way around :) other dishes tasted at the table:

Appetizers : Bhel puri, Samosa chat, Crab tikki, shrimp varuval, papad

Entrees: Chicken Tikka makhni, Baingan Bhartha, Makai Saag, Dal Makhni, Appam and vegetable Stew, garlic naan, roti , murg malai kabab, lamb vindaloo, murg seekh kabab.

Dessert: Kufi and mango flan

Reston Limo does a good job as I have traveled on their buses before. IF you are looking for buses , vans or limos - I would recommend Reston Limo and for great indianfood you can try Indique and Indique Heights .

Other panelsts in the webcast:

 

Kristina Bouweiri, CEO of Reston Limo, the largest independent limousine service in the Washington D.C. area

Anita Campbell, Editor of Small Business Trends

Tom Heath, Columnist, The Washington Post’s Value Added

Kelly Muccio, Founder of Lost Boys, a fashionable clothing store recently featured on Good Morning America

Surfy Rahman, Co-owner of Indique, a popular DC-area restaurant chain.

I think this is a cool concept and wish them the best, wonder if we can use them for a tweetup and then i can also certify their Indian food as 000's of other customers have already done. Tom Sietsema are you heading there too ? Where are they today?
