"Group dining is the best way to try a variety of the regionally specific Indian food at this Lincoln Park spot. And while birthday cakes are nice, we’d rather blow out candles sitting on top of Nadu’s Keralite crab stir fry. The crustacean pile covered in a garlicky mix of tomatoes and onions should be a centerpiece at every table. The Goan spicy prawns and Odia goat curry are also delicious, and their apricot delight is a great choice for anyone who thinks no birthday is complete without cake." - adrian kane, veda kilaru, nick allen, john ringor
