Description

Montrose's Indika may be the best Indian restaurant in the country. What makes Anita Jaisinghani's food great is that it's not only among the most creative takes on Indian cuisine in America, it's also muy picante when it's supposed to be. In New York and San Francisco, innovative Indian chefs have to please wimpy local tastes. But here in jalapeño-happy Houston, Indika's fabulous, fiery Indian cooking is truly appreciated.

Indika's owner, Indian-born Anita Jaisinghani, doesn't feel compelled to cater to American preconceptions. Formerly a pastry chef at Café Annie, Jaisinghani has come up... More »

  • 2006 | Best Indian Restaurant

    Succumbing to the easy pitfalls of "fusion," modern Indian cuisine often sheds thousands of years of culinary tradition simply to appeal to timid Western palates. Indika adroitly avoids these hazards. Since it moved from west Houston to Montrose, it has been turning out some of the most unforgettably delicious food -- Indian or otherwise -- in the city. No true sampling of the restaurant's treasures is complete without the crab samosas. Loaded with lump crabmeat, spiced to perfection with... More »
