Houston Hot Spots
Though Houston's two coolest ethnic restaurants serve foods from opposite sides of the planet, both showcase innovative cuisines firmly anchored in tradition. Indika is the brainchild of Indian-born Anita Jaisinghani, who turned to cooking when she tired of her career in microbiology. Her seductive blend of American ingredients and Indian spices - Gulf Coast seafood in a vibrant mulligatawny; chile-spiked duck tandoori in toasted-almond curry - is a shining example of the enlightened multiculturalism for which this city is famous.
