We understood the fusion concept but it needs some tweaking. The pita bread at the start of the meal was very good. The samosas were attractive, but didn't look like other samosas we've had. The crab samosa didn't taste like top quality crab meat. The sauce with the duck breast didn't have enough of the flavors it was supposed to have. The lamb shank was very good. The chocolate cake for dessert was good but we weren't told it came with strawberry sauce and a sliced strawberry and almonds. I don't eat strawberries so that was something we should have been told. And if our son with nut allergies had been with us, we would have liked to have known about the almonds.

4935 has easily become our favorite restaurant! The ambience is warm, servers are knowlegable and friendly and the food is delicious. The best part of going there is the consistency of it being such a great place to dine time after time. Can't wait to be back!

As others have said -a disconnect between the quality of food-which was excellent- and the decor -which feels like a disco club. Although there were only 3 tables filled it took way too long for our entrees to arrive. I sincerely hope they get their act together-Bethesda needs more restaurants with high quality food

Bethesda has many restaurants that serve good food, but few that have great food. This one has great food-it was fresh, tasty, not at all ho-hum. Don't let the atmosphere fool you-it may appear casual but this is some of the best food available in Bethesda. Catch the live music on Thursdays

The food here is very good, so you should really try this place. As other reviewers mentioned, even on a Saturday night the restaurant is almost completely empty. I was okay with that because I wanted to be able to sit and linger with my friend. I think the restaurant was going for cool and edgy with their décor, but they missed the mark. So why should you go? Because the food is pretty great. We made a meal of appetizers: tuna tartare, chicken tacos, buffalo mozzarella, dahl soup and shaved asparagus salad. That was more than enough food for two people, and the only so-so dish was the salad. Despite the quiet atmosphere, I will definitely go back and try some more of their dishes.

We were one of only two tables that were dining in the restaurant at prime time (8:00 p.m.), on a Saturday night. The food was good, but with only two tables seated, we questioned how fresh the food might be. It appears this restaurant is more of a event space and place for dancing with a D.J. much, much later in the evening. Our food came quickly since there were only two tables to cook for. Being a Saturday evening, we wanted to make it more of an evening and linger a little over our food and drinks. It was a quick evening with friends and we ate were home early. The food was good, but I would not return. The atmosphere was not inviting.

My fiancée and I visited 4935 Bar and Kitchen on a Saturday evening at 7:30pm, to find a large restaurant with only one other table occupied. We ordered two appetizers, the Tandoori Chicken Tacos (great!) and the Duck Samosas(only so-so). Entrees: Pomegranate Glazed Duck Breast and Tandoori Salmon (fish-of the day). The duck was a large portion size - normally a good thing - but the fat layer was thick and chewy, and it was cut into long strips instead of medallions. The meat also didn't taste quite right, like it was old (perhaps due to lack of customers on a regular basis). My fiancée really liked the salmon, so seems like the food could be hit-or-miss. With so many other options in Bethesda, 4935 seemed overpriced and underwhelming.

The restaurant is very dark with too few tables for such a large space. The AC was way too cold and the hostess seemed OK with turning it off or up, but the temperature never really got comfortable. The menu is varied, if a bit pricey. The food is creative, especially the use of Indian spices used on, essentially continental fare. We loved the dahl soup, and the beet salad better than most. The timing of service needs work as the entree came out too soon and caused a rush to finish the appetizers. Wine list by the glass was good. The dessert we had was a good, not great, chocolate cake. More choices of desserts would have been appreciated. So try it if you adventurous and don't require refined service and for your own good, bring a sweater.

Five dahl soup; outstanding. Chicken tacos: outstanding. Nahn: served warm and fresh with seasoning: quite good. Portobello mushroom stuffed with grilled vegetables over quinoa and tandori salmon over lemon risotto; just o.k. Mushroom had little taste, tiny bits of roasted veggies were good, but there weren't many of them, salmon was dry, risotto nice and lemony and very rich. Restaurant filled with conflicting sound from a live gentleman on keyboard, and a recording. Only about 10 patrons were present at the time we were there (a Thursday night just before a holiday weekend). Waitress was very polite and attentive. We'll be back for soup and tacos, and might try other appetizers. Main courses were pricey.
