"A pop Indian aesthetic pervades this Laureles restaurant (which has two additional locations), which introduced Indian flavors to Medellín’s then-conservative culinary scene more than a decade ago. Colorful illustrations, concrete walls, plants, and natural light create a fun atmosphere. Although there are recipes steeped in tradition like tikka masala, samosas, or curries, chef Maria Teresa Vélez also take liberties, such as in one of Naan’s best sellers, an interpretation of pakoras made with crispy spinach, tamarind reduction, yogurt, onion, and tomatoes." - Liliana López Sorzano
