Salaam Bombay

The Hindu god Ganesh stands guard above the arched entryway of this brass-and-burgundy-toned curry palace, which offers a heady range of well-prepared specialties. Although "seafood" and "Indian" don't often go hand in hand, the salmon tikka and jinga bagharela-jumbo shrimp sautéed with garlic, mustard seed and curry leaf-are among the best dishes here. Freshly chopped garlic perks up the nan, and creamy rose-petal ice cream is a fragrant finale. Linger for a while on weekend evenings, when a musician plucks the sitar.
