"This cozy, dim-lit Sunnyside spot (which recently opened a second location at 3100 E. Colfax) takes some liberties on its lengthy menu; note, for instance, the nontraditional use of salmon in a smattering of dishes, or the occasional nod to U.K.-style Indian food. That’s all part of the fun. Try the pani puri — paper-thin wafer shells that crack open like eggs for filling with mint water and a sort of chickpea-potato relish — and the pungent shrimp aachari." - Ruth Tobias
