"When it comes to fancy Indian food that’s more dressed up than the Balboa crowd on a Saturday night, Tiya is the logical choice. The duck seekh kebab, which looks like ants on a log grew up and found itself, could be cut with a soup spoon. And don’t skip the paneer bhurji roll, a kataifi-coated cylinder of cheese and finely diced veggies that nails creamy and crispy simultaneously. Every available surface in this place is covered in velvet or floral wallpaper, which sets the scene for a night that’ll make you feel like someone who has their own motorcade. And if you’re in an especially all-out mood, go big with the seven course tasting menu ($95)." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez
