Bhookhe

"Being a new Indian restaurant in Artesia’s Little India can be a tough gig, but Bhookhe makes it look easy. This colorful spot on Pioneer Ave. specializes in Rajasthani cuisine with a massive menu of over 80 dishes, including gravy-like makhana curry, lentil stews, and a dozen-plus desserts. There’s a lot to parse, which is why we suggest getting the maharaja thali. The hubcap-sized platter arrives with over 21 different bites on it, from dal and three chutneys to dry and curried sabji. Three buttery rotis (wheat, millet, and corn) for dipping, plus a glass of buttermilk, come on the side. The menu categorizes the meal as “something for super empty stomach” and it’s not a lie. Plan for leftovers.  " - nikko duren, brant cox

"This Rajasthani restaurant just joined the scene this year. Bhooke’s vibrant interior — bright orange and yellow walls decorated with images of Rajasthani dancers, musicians, and more — stands out when walking along Pioneer Boulevard. Inside, expect dishes like pyaz kachori and dal kachori, which are crunchy and stuffed with either onion (pyaz) or lentils (dal). There are also three types of thalis available, and bread options include bajra ri roti and makki ri roti, made with millet and corn respectively, and harder to find than chapati and naan." - Virali_Dave
