Sherkaan
If the name "Sherkaan" sounds familiar from The Jungle Book, the food at this Indian eatery may be less so as the owners have mostly steered clear of the usual office lunch food orders. Instead, they've created what they call bindaas—roughly translated as "the coolest"—which are apps, small plates, and shareables like salmon, chicken, and lamb kebabs that emerge from the tandoor, with larger plates of chicken biryani, curries, and more. Appetizers, or chaat, include filled puri shells and samosas, with street eats, like dosas, noodles, and the "chaat dog," made with veggie kebab, cucumber, pomegranate seeds, and chili garlic chutney on a bun. The bindaas carries over into the atmosphere, which is immediately apparent when you enter an Indian street scene of bicycles, a streetcar, and doors hundreds of years old flanking the room.
