"From Top Chef alum Zubair Mohajir, who burst onto Chicago’s scene with the Coach House, a fine dining restaurant that celebrated Indian flavors through his unique upbringing in South India and Qatar, and chef Rishi Manoj Kumar, a chef of Indian heritage who grew up in Singapore and immersed himself in Mexican cuisine while working for Rick Bayless, comes an outlet to combine South Asian and Mexican flavors in unexpected ways — for example, a lamb barbacoa biryani with a pastry shell baked over to keep in the aromatics. Michelin says this of the Bucktown restaurant: “This cross-cultural menu weaves Mexican and Indian narratives in a vibrantly convincing manner.”" - Ashok Selvam
