"There’s a secret spice level at Rishtedar not listed on the menu. They call it “Indian spicy.” It’s excruciating, and the concern in your server’s voice if you order it is warranted. We’ll never do it again, because the smoky achari murgh tikka masala is already hot. It comes with a label that belongs on a supervillain’s barrel of radioactive goo: “spicy acid.” If you choose to ignore your server’s pleas to lower the spice level, you only have one person to blame when your scalp feels like it’s detaching from your hair follicles." - ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino, virginia otazo
