"At Indian Table, chef Eric McCarthy turns the spotlight on Goan cuisine. Six months ago, McCarthy took over Indian Table on Court Street in Cobble Hill, a rather nondescript name for a wonderful restaurant. The dining room is dark and deep, boasting ornate geometric tiles, exposed beams, dangling brass light fixtures, and a teal-blue color scheme. The first dish to hit the table is a novelty in an Indian restaurant: Caldo verde ($8). Other satisfying appetizers abound — some from Goa, others from nearby regions or invented by the chef. But occasionally, some of his wilder experiments go awry such as the tower of beets called Kashmiri tikki." - Robert Sietsema
