Description
A far cry from the budget-friendly dives populating the Tenderloin, this restaurant keeps it casual but classy, serving Indian and Pakistani food in a dining room bathed in an orange glow emanating from stylish, low-hanging lights. The setting is warm, clean, and modern - akin, the establishment says, to restaurants occupying Bollywood studio backlots. The cuisine echoes the inspiration. "Curry Grant" is chicken korma, breast meat cloaked in a mild, ghee-rich curry sauce. Beef with ginger and garlic is "Bollywood Bhuna Gosht" - because, the menu claims, it's "spicier" than Indian actress and beauty queen Aishwarya Rai's "hip movements." Don't skip tandoori specialties, especially the lamb chops.
