Mali's Indian Restaurant
An unexpected find within a residential section of the Morningside neighborhood, Mali's is loved by chefs and locals for its broad Indian menu serving specialities from the North and South, like steamed idli with sambar, masala dosai, and vadai—dishes you'll be hard-pressed to find in many Indian eateries. While the biryanis and tandoori dishes are very good in this homey restaurant with its cozy dining room, the Chinese-influenced offerings like the deep-fried mushroom Manchurian and Szechuan chicken noodles have a loyal following. Don't miss the Chettinad chicken and the mango lassi here.
