This snazzy farm-to-table eatery in an old Barrio Escalante house does double duty as a shop selling flowers and a designer clothing line. These folks keep long hours from early morning to late at night and do each meal service well using freshly sourced ingredients. The creamy risotto and salmon ravioli are winners, but if you can’t decide, the rotating five-item tasting menu lets you sample a variety of offerings here. The restaurant’s name is a mashup of the owners’ names.
Indian cooking is difficult to find in Costa Rica, as are gluten-free dishes, but this family-owned restaurant serves both well. The exhaustive menu is a trip around India, from the northern palak paneer to the variety of South Indian dosa pancakes. Ask the helpful wait staff for recommendations or any questions about dietary requests. You’ll also find an Indian Palace branch in Heredia out in the Central Valley.
