FITOOR

Exciting Restaurants to Try in San Jose 2025 | Eater

"Gleaming columns and a wavy wooden slat ceiling reflect the sparkle and passion that is the Santana Row restaurant’s namesake. (Fitoor means “passion” in Hindi.) The shimmering lights are part of the lounge-restaurant’s jazzed up scene, where a whiskey-based Pasha cocktail is right at home alongside bites of Malabar paratha quesadillas and large shareables such as Multani chicken shawarma. Some might call it a proper sit-down experience and it can be that. But for those looking for a plate of papadi chaat nachos and a Holy Mole cocktail that riffs on Mexican flavors, the California energy is a scene unto itself." - Christina Marie Mueller
