Indian and Mexican cuisine might not intuitively feel like a natural combination. But when you start to think about the flavors (warm spices, punchy flavors, generous use of herbs) and the forms (samosas, gorditas, parathas, tortillas), you begin to see how fusing the two can be a culinary playground that pushes back on eurocentric culinary culture. The menu changes seasonally, but always inspired by the blended heritage of the husband-wife chef and owners Saqib Keval and Norma Listman Sanchez, drawing from South Asian, Eastern African and Mexican foodways.

But perhaps the boldest part of the establishment is the fact that it is a strictly afternoon restaurant. Inviting food lovers in for a leisurely lunch that spans a couple hours to savor the midday slump. Dishes are paced out so you always have something to savor. It’s a special meal, one that feels fancier than it is, in the notably unpretentious environment, that invites you back time after time.
