India Beach

Set near the water in El Granada, the dining room strikes an intimate, unhurried tone with roses on every table and beer and wine on pour. The kitchen relies on a centuries-old tandoor heated to nearly 1000°F to turn out classic specialties alongside shareable naan baskets and rich curries. Portions are generous and heat levels are taken seriously—spicy is actually spicy—with ample variety across hearty staples, a strong selection of dishes for vegetarians, and traditional finishes like kheer and gulab jamun.
