Price Dropped to $160,000, Lease Negotiable.
Business Description
$160K buys you a DC restaurant doing $1.2M a year
Staff hired. Customers loyal. Reputation built. The lease is up for negotiation — meaning you go to the table on your own terms, not the seller's.
The numbers: $160,000 asking price on $1.2 million in 2024 gross revenue. That's 13 cents on the dollar for a 7-year-old, proven operation steps from a major Metro station in one of DC's most desirable neighborhoods.
Everything transfers with the sale:
9 experienced staff members staying on post-sale
All furniture, fixtures, and equipment included
2,800 sq ft with indoor seating for 85 plus an outdoor patio
Strong online reviews and a loyal repeat customer base
Two weeks of hands-on training from the current owner
Seller financing available
The lease advantage: The current lease is open for negotiation — giving the buyer the rare opportunity to go directly to the landlord and lock in their own long-term terms from day one. This is leverage most buyers never get.
Keep it or reinvent it: Continue the successful Indian concept or transition to a new cuisine entirely. The infrastructure, foot traffic, and customer base are already in place.
The owner is motivated and moving on to other ventures. This is priced to close quickly.

About the Business
- Years in Operation

- Facilities & Assets
- 2,800 sq ft metro-adjacent space seating 85 guests plus outdoor patio. Fully equipped commercial kitchen. All furniture, fixtures, and equipment included. POS system, décor, and operational infrastructure transfer with sale.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- Located in one of Washington DC's most sought-after dining corridors, directly adjacent to a major Metro station with high daily foot traffic. The DC dining market remains one of the most resilient in the country, driven by a strong mix of federal employees, tourists, and young professionals. The restaurant has carved out a loyal niche over 7 years with strong online ratings, insulating it from nearby competition and giving a new owner an immediate competitive advantage.
- Opportunities for Growth
- Significant upside remains untapped. The kitchen and staffing infrastructure support a catering operation that has not yet been pursued. The private dining area is well-suited for buyouts and corporate events a high-margin revenue stream in DC's event market. Delivery and takeout volume could be expanded through additional platform partnerships. Extended evening or weekend hours represent another low-cost revenue lever. A new owner could realistically grow revenue without major capital investment.
