"At Los Angeles’s Indian-Italian sports bar superstar that quickly gained a cult following when it opened in 2022, I came for two things: gigantic dosa onion rings and green chile pickle–crusted chicken wings, and both delivered. As a gluten-intolerant diner my options were more limited, but that felt fine because I became especially enamored with the puffy, golden-brown onion rings, encased in an urad lentil batter (hi protein) and fried until shatteringly crisp—generously cut, doughnut-sized bar snacks that eclipse the palm of your hand. Dip them in the accompanying green mango chutney or the green curry leaf ranch and yogurt dips that come with the wings (yes, the move is to order both). My husband and I finished on the sweetest note possible with Pijja’s irresistible mango lassi soft serve." - Eater Staff
