Junoon
A chef-directed Indian tasting progression with Michelin-level ambition and pacing.
Notable Picks
#1
Junoon
8.8
A tasting-menu-driven modern Indian room where the best meals feel like a paced progression—small bites, a tight run of mains, and a composed finish. Big flavors, polished technique, and steady execution make it a destination when you commit to the chef’s arc instead of trying to “sample everything.”
Must-Try Dishes:
Eggplant chaat, Nadru ghost chili korma, Lamb chops
What makes it special: A chef-directed Indian tasting progression with Michelin-level ambition and pacing.
#2
INDAY
8.3
Indian-inspired fast-casual built for clean, spice-forward bowls that don’t eat heavy. It’s strongest when you pick one signature curry bowl, layer one or two sauces for contrast, and treat it like a repeatable lunch utility rather than a full Indian feast.
Must-Try Dishes:
Golden chicken curry bowl, Kale pakora, Mango lassi
What makes it special: Fast, customizable Indian-spice bowls with a lighter, modern build.
8.0
A neighborhood-utility Indian kitchen that lands best in the classic comfort lane: creamy curry, tandoor, and naan done in a steady, no-drama rhythm. It’s a strong pick for takeout or a low-key sit-down when you keep the order tight and stick to the proven standards.
Must-Try Dishes:
Chicken tikka masala, Butter chicken, Cheese naan
What makes it special: Classic Mughlai-style curries and tandoor staples that travel well.
