Kathakali
Come for the giant dosas, stay for the sweet service at this delightful South Indian restaurant tucked into a suburban strip mall. Many of the specialties come from the state of Kerala, but the deep vegetarian menu and exciting seafood options bring in dishes from around India. Rich colors adorn the walls and the plates, the latter in the form of vibrantly flavored chutneys, masalas, and curries. Waits can get long on days that don't take reservations, so either come earlier in the week with a reservation or earlier in the evening on a weekend. Or order takeout and enjoy a picnic at nearby Juanita Beach Park.
