Chef-owner Lala Sharma—behind nearby Swagat—focuses on the food of his native New Delhi for this Indian restaurant, serving specialties like scallops in tamarind-coconut sauce and yogurt-marinated lamb chops. Breads like garlic naan and cheese-stuffed kulcha (wheat-flour bread) are made in-house, as are traditional Indian ice creams (mango, pistachio). Along with 20 wines and Indian beers (Kingfisher, Taj Mahal), the drinks menu features cocktails such as the the Tajmapolitan (black-currant vodka, Chambord, grated cinnamon) and the Mango Masala, a rum-spiked mango lassi.
