Indika

516 Westheimer Road

In writing for my other blog, I realized I hadn't written anything about Indika!!! I've eaten here twice in the last couple of weeks and about half a dozen times over the past year. It's a new restaurant run by an innovative Indian chef. I like the chicken chaat appetizer. In fact I like most of the appetizers. I'll do an in-depth review at some point, but should point out that I really enjoyed their lamb. The cumin, yogurt and chargrilled flavor blended perfectly with the meat.

I'll also point out that this is a swanky bright-windowed space with beautiful saffron colors. The wait staff is friendly--if a bit slow. And the soft warm cookie ending rocks.
