"Put the city’s best new restaurants in a high school yearbook, and Aaha Indian Cuisine would win senior superlative for The Best Back Pocket Restaurant Of 2022. Which is exciting, since getting a seat at most restaurants these days requires you to book tables weeks in advance and possibly throw together a spreadsheet. Casual weeknight dinners at this Mission spot are simple—walk in with a group of friends and take a seat. South Indian dishes, like deeply charred tandoor pomfret and tangy uthappams, make a lasting impression. And the fragrant dosas will keep you coming back again and again. Perhaps the best part is that you’ll spend less than $25 per person here on a filling meal and leftovers. " - julia chen 1, lani conway
