We stopped by opening night at Thaaja Indian Food Bar in NoMa on Wednesday to check it out. Opening night saw a moderate but steady flow of customers despite the extreme cold outside. We tried the rice bowl with steak and added roasted corn, cheese, chickpeas, tomatoes, and topped it off with the vindaloo sauce. The sauce had a nice spicy kick, the steak was very tender, and the portion was very generous. We also tried the Thaaja roll appetizer with the samosa filling and enjoyed it. If you’re looking for a less spicy sauce, try the “Triple C” (cilantro, cucumber, and coriander) which we sampled and also liked. You can check out our complete preview here and see their menu here.

You can check out our preview of Thaaja here and a review of our first visit here. […]
