"This high-style modern Indian restaurant (by way of NYC) is located right on State Street in a neon-light-covered space that works for anything from date night to a group dinner to solo drinks at the bar. We'd make a trip just for the uni with biryani rice, but as long as you're here, you should order the grilled lamb chops dusted with turmeric and cumin, the curry made with local halibut, and the tangy passionfruit lassi." - Brant Cox, Nikko Duren, Sylvio Martins, Garrett Snyder
