Mindblasting and James Beard Award-winning restaurant by chef Meherwan Irani, known internationally for broadening the representation of Indian street food in America.
The shareable menu consists of crunchy, spicy, sweet, tangy, and brightly flavored Indian street snacks; chaat (street snacks), uttapam (savory fermented pancakes), chhota plates (truck stop-style small plates), sigri (grill), and pav (street sandwiches, pronounced "pow"). An experience that blasts your culinary and visual senses and transports you to the streets of Mumbai. Ok!
