"Âme in Bishop Arts brings a blend of Indian flavors with French cooking techniques from the mother and daughter team of chefs, Afifa and Sabrina Nayeb. This chic white tablecloth restaurant is perfect for brunch or date night. It is also home to Elephant Bar, which serves cocktails and champagne paired with shareable bar snacks including savory beet samosas, crispy calamari pakora and sweet, creamy pistachio kulfi." - Courtney E. Smith, Didi Paterno
"An elegant spot nestled within the eminently walkable Bishop Arts District , Âme is small and well appointed, with just the right amount of eclectic charm. Some of the most innovative French-Indian fusion you'll ever taste, some of the dishes on this menu are worthy of their own standalone reviews. The MVPs include the herb crusted pistachio lamb chops and the cashew chicken tikka—particularly when you order a paratha croissant on the side, to soak up the delicious, velvety tikka overflow. Don't overlook the sides either: the masala-baked eggplant in turmeric bechamel is a bona fide taste sensation. Must orders at the bar include the Mumbai Gimlet (gin, lime cordial, basil and absinthe rinse) and the feisty Massala Sour, a spicy bourbon number." - David Landsel, Diana Oates, Jonathan Thompson
"A hotly-anticipated eatery from the family behind on of Dallas’s favorite Indian restaurants is set to open next weekend. Âme, the new French-Indian eatery from mother-daughter duo Afifa and Sabrina Nayeb, is set to open in Bishop Arts on Friday, April 9. Dallasites might recognize the Nayeb family from their popular Dallas Farmers Market restaurant 8 Cloves, or from Laili, which focuses on Afghan and Turkish comfort food. Âme, which means soul in French, will feature chef Afifa’s takes on classic Indian dishes using French cooking techniques. Those dishes include masala-baked eggplant with pine nuts and turmeric bechamel, lamb vindaloo with French-style potatoes, and shrimp curry ina. spicy coconut sauce. The restaurant will also offer shareable plates like beet samosas, breads and desserts, and meats cooked in a tandoor oven. Âme will also host an impressive brunch, with creative dishes like tikka eggs Benedict and biryani fried chicken and waffles. The brunch will be enhanced by drinks from the Elephant Bar, a champagne and cocktail bar inspired by chic Parisian lounges, serving up both bubbles and French-Indian takes on classic cocktails like the Old Fashioned. Adding to that ambiance is wallpaper from legendary French designer Christian LaCroix, and a wall of antique mirrors allowing customers to see the rest of the restaurant. Âme also paid homage to the previous tenant of its address, Hattie’s, by keeping the mosaic tile floor and host stand. Reservations for next weekend’s service are currently available on Resy. Âme is located at 418 N Bishop Avenue. The restaurant is open for dinner Tuesday through Saturday from 5 to 10 p.m. and Sunday 5 to 9 p.m., Weekend brunch takes place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m." - Brittanie Shey
