Providence Is the New Nightlife Capital of the U.S. - AFAR

"Chef Nikhil Naiker’s project evolved from a pop-up into a permanent, highly regarded restaurant and earned a James Beard Emerging Chef finalist nod; the menu shifts daily but leans on crudos, curries, and dahls rooted in Fijian Indian traditions. Diners praise the fan-favorite fried chicken tenders—best ordered spicy with a selection of house sauces—and the kitchen’s personal, grounded approach to blending heritage flavors with contemporary technique." - Ellen Carpenter
