Rank 4. 1947 Eatery
Indian
An auto rickshaw parked by reception sets the tone at this Indian restaurant on Federal Street, where the room goes dark and moody with high tables, low sofas, and a large bar. The menu moves across the subcontinent from street snacks to slow-cooked curries, with a clear fondness for meat and a tandoor that does serious work on the lamb chops. Order the okra fries immediately and pair them with a beer while you figure out the rest.
