We found Himalayan Heritage distinctly subpar. Food was mediocre and service was worse. Didn't initially apply Groupon, when called out on it they agreed but it took 15 minutes to get us the revised bill.
Shangri-la is excellent and we do like Indique/Indique Heights. Our favorite is Bombay Bistro in Rockville and elsewhere.
Tandoori Nights is a small chain, but we like the food a lot. My wife thinks that their navrata korma is among the best she has ever eaten.
