A new family-owned restaurant serving Indian and Himalayan cuisine has officially opened in Germantown.
Curry Z is now open at 13525 Clopper Rd., Germantown, MD 20874, taking over the space previously occupied by Bitez, which operated there from July 2025 until closing in January 2026. It’s located in the same shopping center as Mamma Lena and Rio Grande Bar & Grill.
According to the restaurant, Curry Z combines traditional Indian favorites with dishes inspired by the Himalayan region, alongside Indo-Chinese specialties. The menu features classic curries, tandoori specialties, handmade momos, street food, and a storefront-exclusive build-your-own bowl option for lunch.
“Our menu offers a unique balance of South Asian culinary traditions,” the restaurant states on its website. “Whether you are grabbing a quick, storefront-exclusive build-your-own bowl for lunch, enjoying classic favorites like Chicken Tikka Makhani and handmade steamed Momos, or exploring fiery Indo-Chinese street food, we promise robust flavors and a warm welcome every single time.”
The menu includes appetizers such as Bullet Shrimp, Masala Dosa, and Aloo Tikki, Himalayan specialties including steamed Momos and Thukpa Noodles, a variety of curries like Chicken Curry, Bhuna Chicken, Lamb Rogan Josh, and Baingan Bharta, as well as tandoori favorites including Tandoori Chicken, Chicken Tikka, Chicken Malai Kabob, and Lamb Seekh Kebob. Chef’s premium offerings include dishes such as Lamb Shank, Himalayan Lamb Chops, and Paper Chicken (Tellicherry Hot).
