Bibi Ji OLD LOCATION

17 Restaurants Worthy Of A Day Trip Outside LA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Located in downtown Santa Barbara, Bibi Ji is on a stretch of State Street that’s better known for Billabong discount stores than destination restaurants. But once the food inside this casual Indian restaurant starts hitting the table, it becomes abundantly clear why you spent two hours on the 101 to get here—this is some of the most exciting Indian food you’ll find on the Central Coast. 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, curry made with local halibut, and the tangy passion fruit lassi. There’s also an excellent natural wine list. " - Brant Cox, Garrett Snyder
