East Village, Manhattan · restaurant
An Indian canteen that goes maximalist with Bollywood wallpaper, heady spices, and dishes that swing from goat brains to bone marrow. The showstopper is the tableside Butter Chicken Experience (smoke, infused butters, the whole production) but the rest of the menu hits just as hard, from Nagaland pork fry to silky haleem. It’s loud, crowded, a little chaotic, and exactly the kind of food theater worth squeezing into.
