The chef-owner calls it a building-block menu; you can modify the bread and sauce—there are a dozen varieties, including several curries, peanut satay, jerk mayo, mango raita (yogurt, tomatoes, chutney), tahini, teriyaki, garlic cream, and even gravy like Mom used to make.

This busy and eclectic eatery has a vast menu (Cajun to Chinese), including smashing breakfasts and 10 kinds of burgers (fish and veggie versions are available). The decor is dramatic—crimson booths and walls, flat-screen TVs lining the counter, steel pendant lamps, an exhibition kitchen, gigantic flower paintings, and Andy Warhol reproductions. Other options include a Caesar salad, samosas, Philly cheesesteak, and chicken fajitas. It's noisy, buzzing, and hip—but not aggressively so.
