Kitchen Rumors is an Indian restaurant in the Arts District with some of the most memorable South Asian dishes in the city (and worth navigating the busy parking lot shuffle). The menu features dishes that blend Indian flavors with influences from Mexico, Japan, and beyond. The Infladita, a panipuri-style bite begging to be a happy hour staple, is a DIY appetizer with creamy avocado, minced lamb keema ghughni, and passion fruit water that you pour into crispy dough cups. And the butter chicken ramen is better than it might sound, with springy noodles and tender meat floating in a velvety tomato broths spiced with garam masala. Don’t let the restaurant’s self-proclaimed “fine casual” label confuse you—the entrees hover around $30-40, but they’re generous enough to split—and the crowd’s a warm mix of friends raising cocktails as imaginative as the food, like the yogurt-washed, turmeric-honey laced Desi Girl at Heart.
