Kamasutra Restaurant
Kamasutra is a mid-priced restaurant that tries to avoid many of the cliches of Indian cuisine. The decor is contemporary, with a long bar that serves dozens of micro-brewery beers. The menu eschews most deep fried favorites in favor of fresh and light entrees. Coconut-crusted calamari are poached in coconut milk. Goan-style tilapia and shrimp curry are a favorite, as is mewa masala, served with a creamy tomato sauce with cashews, whole nuts and raisins.
