Indian, Sun Best Restaurants 2017 | Howard County | $$

If you need a nudge to leave the city, Ananda in Howard County is your destination. The Indian cuisine, brought to you by the owners the Ambassador Dining Room in Tuscany-Canterbury, is superb, and the place is lovely. You will feel like you are dining in a fancy private home. From a bliss hour for cocktails to the sensational crab Malabar and tandoori lamb chops, you’ll be so transported that you won’t even mind the ride home. (Baltimore Sun Best Restaurants 2017)
