Specializing in Indian soul food, this psychedelic Eastside spot blends traditional dishes like tikka masala and saag paneer with Texas’ culinary traditions. The lunch thali platter is a great deal, and options run aplenty with curries, flavored naan, biryani, samosas, and even tacos. The spicy curried margarita is our favorite summer tipple.
