  1. 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.
