NEW LOCATION, review from Sietsma "Chettinad curry ($15) associated with the city of Chennai, once known as Madras. A red chile perches on top of a dark brown sauce enriched with coconut milk and flavored with curry leaves and ginger. The chicken was all thigh meat, and every bite left me smiling and sweating First off was haleem ($18), a puree of ground lamb, wheat, and lentils that looks like gray mud, with a boiled egg implanted in the middle. The dish comes with frizzled onions on top and traces its roots to northern India and Pakistan. By contrast, chicken vepudu ($12.49) hails from the southeastern coastal state of Andhra Pradesh and features chicken tidbits coated with a spice-laden gravy thickened with yogurt, giving the sauce a tart edge. But the primary “don’t miss” dish is Hyderabadi goat dum biryani ($19). Shining on top is basmati tinted in pleasing shades of yellow, pink, and brown; underneath a motherlode of boneless goat chunks at every level of fattiness, with a gravy boat of yogurt rife with shredded cucumbers, and carrots, to be ladled over every bite."
