"Chef Sathish Varadhan’s essential Indian restaurant focuses on classic South Indian dishes like rasam (lentils with spices and curry leaves), medhu vadai (doughnut-shaped fritters), and dosas. Amma’s, which has locations in University City and New Jersey in addition to Center City, can also cater to your heat-level preference. Pair the delightful food with lighter-bodied red wines, crisp whites like sauvignon blancs or vinho verdes, or pale ales and lagers." - Annemarie Dooling
