Spice 6, one of the first fast-casual, Indian restaurants to open in the DC area, opens Monday in the Vienna area. It’s the second location for the original Hyattsville, Md. restaurant.

The restaurant is located at 2674-I Avenir Place in Vienna (see map below) near the Dunn Loring Metro.

Steps from the Dunn Loring metro, the modern quick-serve eatery will open Monday at 11 a.m., serving up Indian fare using authentic techniques and family recipes, the company said in a news release.

The restaurant will continue its tradition of fresh Naan, baked to order, proteins grilled daily in a tandoor oven, fresh rice bowls topped with house-made paneer, refreshing mango and rose lassis using fresh made yogurt, and hand-made samosas.

• What’s new, for the Vienna area location: More salad options including spinach, arugula, romaine and mixed green varieties to customize any salad bowl.
• What’s notable: Chaat Papri is a unique and authentic Indian street food option, featuring a bowl of crunchy naan chips topped with chickpeas, onions and choice of curries for Indian style nachos. Another fun mash-up, the Naan Pizza, allows diners to pick their toppings and create a uniquely flavored version of a classic dish.
• What’s fussy: All curries are vegan-based and bowls can be customized to accommodate any food restrictions including vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and halal.
• What’s house-made: Everything (except the chicken and lamb for kabobs and bowls).
