Rishtedar Review

With just eight tables, this intimate and colorful neighborhood joint serves bountiful dishes of piquant Indian food. The select menu features Pakistani and Northern Indian dishes -- choose from chicken, lamb, or shrimp draped with either a spicy biryani sauce or a smoother, sweeter masala. For the budget conscious, the daily special menu includes a drink and dessert. The vegetarian options, including saag aloo (spinach curry with fried potatoes) are rather heavy, especially served alongside the requisite crispy samosas, doughy naans, and fluffy basmati rice, which for carb lovers make a fine meal in themselves. Refreshing, lighter options include a minty Goan salad and a Bangladesh salad served with garlic and shrimp. With its Bollywood music videos and laissez faire vibe, Rishtedar is a hot spot for trendy 20-something Chileans who follow up dinner with conversation over a fruit flavored shisha (hookah). If you are trying to budget, beware that while the entrees here are extremely reasonable, the bottles of wine are pretty exorbitant ($15/£10 minimum) for a restaurant in this price range.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
