"Now open for takeout and delivery in the State Farm building in Dunwoody, I note that Sankranti — which owner Srinivasa Nimmagadda has called “the Indian version of Chipotle” — aims to fill a void in fast-casual Indian offerings by assembling northern and southern Indian dishes at the counter. Dine-in service is set to begin in the next few weeks. The menu includes kathi rolls, pulao, samosas, and kabobs, while curry bowls come with protein choices such as tikka chicken, malai chicken, lamb, and paneer tikka masala; dessert options include gulab jamun and rasmalai. Nimmagadda, who also operates a Sankranti banquet hall and restaurant in Johns Creek, plans to open multiple Atlanta locations over the next year and eventually franchise to make the concept more mainstream. Sankranti is open daily from 10:45 a.m. to 10 p.m., offers online ordering for takeout and delivery, and has outdoor seating." - Beth McKibben
