Yes that's right Olney.  The place is called Sahib and if
you are looking for an unusual dining experience I recommend 
it. 

It is near the intersection of Georgia Ave. and Rt 108 just behind
the Olney Shopping center.  The atmosphere is great.  The tables
are about knee high when you sit down and you sit on benches 
loaded with pillows decorated in Indian fabrics.

They serve a 6 course meal which begins when the come out and 
wash your hands (the meal is eaten almost exclusively with your
hands).  First course was three salads including a delicious
eggplant salad, a carrot salad and a cucumber salad.  Breads are
served with every course (the lentil bread was great).  Second course
Tandoori chicken served with mint and mango chutneys.  Third course was
a choice of lamb or chicken curry.  Fourth course was the entree -- a 
choice of three.  We had the Shrimp it was in a tomato based sauce and
served over rice.  Fifth course -- fresh fruits du jour.  Last course
was dessert du jour (Ginger cakes with a sweet Indian tea).  During the
last course a belly dancer came out to entertain.  

This was a very enjoyable evening.  The food was excellent although I
think I would get something other than the shrimp next time. 

Cost was 67.00 for 2 with a bottle of wine (French Cabernet Sauvignon).
