India Star – Indian
The air at India Star is heavy with the intoxicating aroma of toasted cumin and warming ginger, drawing guests into a vibrant space where the constant sizzle of the fryer promises golden, crisp delights. Here, the table becomes a colorful mosaic of textures, from the delicate crunch of chickpea-battered pakoras and flaky, hand-folded samosas to the refreshing, tangy explosion of street-style chaats layered with cooling yogurt and zesty chutneys.
