The aroma of curry tickles the nose at this traditional Indian restaurant. Vegetarian dishes, such as the spicy baingan patiala (curried eggplant) and zesty mattar paneer, coax even the most ardent of meat lovers, but there are plenty of proteins on offer, too. Kulfi (traditional Indian ice cream) drizzled with rose syrup aims to soothe the palate after a fiery meal. Mains $8–$16.
