Sherkaan Indian Street Food · Broadway
Indian street-snack cooking on Broadway from owners Ankit Harpaldas and Puneet 'Pete' Ramchandani. CTbites (Frank Cohen) frames the menu around the food you would eat walking through an Indian city. Order the chicken frankie roll, the shepherd's dosa, and the pani puri, the crisp, filled, one-bite shells. It is a bright, casual room built for the snack format rather than a formal curry house.
House of Naan · Dwight
Indian small plates and cocktails on Howe Street from co-owners Harry Singh and Karandeep Singh. Per the New Haven Independent, the kitchen works in a small-bites register: Chili Basil Bites of tandoori chicken, a spiced lamb burger, tikka fries, plus the classics like vindaloo and chana masala. Spice-infused cocktails and a happy hour round it out. Come for the shareable plates and the bar.
