"For an easy, breezy and yet still excellent dinner, this Indian spot is a no-brainer. Choosing what to eat is a little harder, because everything is solid—from the homemade dosas and uttapams with traditional fillings, like masala potatoes, to more beachy ones, like grilled chicken with goat cheese. Always check on the daily specials too: their seasonal vegetable curries come with soup, naan, yogurt and chutney. That thali platter tastes equally great at the counter indoors, on the benches outside, or as a picnic takeout option. Hampton Chutney Co. is also an underrated stop to re-up on coffee or tea, with perfect energy-boosting drinks like cardamom oat chai or iced cardamom coffee." - melissa kravitz hoeffner
