Nadu is the newest spot from Chef Sujan Sarkar, the same chef behind lauded Indienne, with a focus on contemporary, regional Indian cuisine. Expect a warm welcome, and with dishes designed for sharing, the mood is always upbeat. Order with abandon for the table, choosing between vegetarian and non-vegetarian plates. There's plenty to sample, including meen gassi, or walleye in a rich and spicy coconut and tamarind curry infused with dried chilies, turmeric and curry leaves. Vegetable moilee with a light and fragrant coconut curry and a variety of seasonal vegetables is best when accompanied by ghee bhat or naan. Desserts like their apricot delight are the perfect ending. Reservations are suggested but the full-service bar is always available for walk-ins.
