"When dinner time rolls around and pulling out your own frying pan to cook (and then do the subsequent dishes) is out of the question, head to Tilak. It’s the poster child for destination-worthy Indian food in Bernal Heights—it’s also easy to walk into, actually open Mondays, and lowkey enough that you can roll up in sweats. And most importantly, they’re serving dishes we’d transfer bus lines twice to get our hands on. The menu covers everything from tomato-heavy Goan specialties to refreshing aloo tikka chaat bites to rich curries that pack enough heat to make your eyes water. Make sure to order a bread basket with two types of naan and stretchy roti for the table. " - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez
