The lively crowd is equally as mixed with Asians, Indians, Americans, young couples, and three-generation families. You'll find Indian, Chinese and Malay influences in countless curries. Try the shrimp curry made with lemongrass, chili paste and coconut. The barbecue fish served in a banana leaf and the mango chicken are highly recommended. While the menu claims that any dish can be modified for vegetarians, watch out for fish and shrimp pastes which can sneak in with the sauces.
Service is earnest but can be distracted.
2201 S. Wentworth Ave. Mon-Thu, no smoking on weekends. Parking lot, parking across the street. Up four stairs, the back room is all cantina with warm woods and a bar. Try the stuffed sweet plantains, the garlicky octopus, or the ham croquettes.
