replying to u/Diflicated: +1 for Bunna. Ras in Crown Heights is also solid.
“Ras is good but a complete and total salt bomb. Ate there once and never went back because I could literally feel my feet swelling up in my shoes as I sat there. Can’t get behind that no matter how good the food is”

replying to u/RoeMajesta: superiority burger is kinda far from you but it’s legitimately a solid spot; just dont feel obliged to get the burger itself. Literally get everything else, especially their desserts i think mediterranean places in brooklyn like miss ada, olea, and theodora have solid vegan by default (i think) dips and grilled veggies

in:Is Semma worth it if you are a South Indian and eat the food often?18 pts
replying to u/boroughthoughts: Its hard to say if its worth it, but I'd lean that its probably not. Unapologetic food, the restaurant group behind Semma, is doing great work in show casing that Indian food as something that should be respected and not just viewed as a cheap lunch buffet option. They are showing that when Indian food is made with great ingredients and technique it it is something that people should be willing to pay for, just like they are willing to pay for good French, Japanese and that can belong in the fine dining space. Unlike other Michelin level indian restaurants, they do not try to make their food look like haute coutre or nouvelle cuisine french food which is favored michelin food, but actually looks like and resembles Indian food. That being said they are not making food for Indians, but a much larger audience of restaurant goers. Its not going to entirely resemble home cooking. My personal opinion if you are traveling to a city, you should explore foods you can't easily get. I am going to mexico city in a few days and I certainly am crossing off any place that isn't unique to that city/country. Go to places like Superiority Burger (vegetarian burger spot that has accolades from NYT) or spend money on a vegetarian michelin tasting menu like the one being done at Dirt Candy (110$).

replying to u/foreverstarlit: I’m also from LA and the last time I brought my family out here, my mom and sister were obsessed with Fish Cheeks. I know there’s a lot of great Thai in LA, but the food at Fish Cheeks is unique to what I’ve had in LA. They were here for a week and we went for their first meal upon landing and for their last meal before they left!
