Great reason to try Amara in Inman Park

Scoutmob has a pretty decent meal for two at Inman's newest Indian restaurant Amara:


Spice Up Your Life with Amara's Dinner for Two

America and India meet each other on every plate at Amara, Sandeep Kothary’s latest Inman Park venture that offers the perfect mix of traditional Indian cuisine and spice-infused modern American dishes.

WHAT TO EXPECT

  • Dinner for 2 at Amara in Inman Park
  • 1 small plate (from the Snacks, Bread, Appetizers, and Tandoori Appetizers menu) to share
  • 2 entrees (from Curries, Biryana, or Main Courses)
  • 2 beverages of your choice
  • The perfect mix of Indian and American cuisine under one roof

SCOUT NOTES

In the world of modern Indian dining, Amara truly has the best of both worlds. The team of chefs at Amara, largely sourced from Sandeep’s Midtown Indian restaurant, Tabla, has expanded upon a menu of Indian classics with several unique American dishes that incorporate Indian ingredients. The result is an eclectic menu that caters equally to fans of Indian cuisine and to those who are less familiar. And our handpicked dinner for two gives you and a date the opportunity to sample the full range of Amara’s delicious Indian-American creations. Lovers of curry, tandoori, and biryana will be happy to find plenty of perfectly executed traditional Indian dishes to dive into. Small bites like the chef selected chutney tasting will awaken your palate to your favorite Indian flavors, and entrees like the popular Amara Chicken Curry – which combines spinach wrapped garlic chicken with a tomato curry sauce – provide a modern take on classic Indian cuisine.

However, if you have yet to dip your toes into the waters of Indian cooking, there are plenty of American dishes whose infusion of Indian spices serve as a perfect introduction for uninitiated diners. For example, Amara’s Brussel Sprouts ‘Bhel’ appetizer combines brussels sprouts and a sweet potato puree with tamarind and an Indian staple called boondi – made from fried chickpea flour – to create a dish that combines familiar American elements with a couple flavorful South Asian spices. When it’s time to move onto your main course, look no further than the jaggery marinated Hangar Steak, or the Salmon, which is marinated in turmeric and cooked in a traditional tandoor oven.

Even Amara’s bar program incorporates Indian ingredients in unique and delicious ways. Many popular drinks, like the signature Pear Necessities, use simple syrups made from jaggery or ginger instead of regular sugar, and a new spring cocktail menu, which will feature even more distinctive Indian infusions – is currently in the works. In addition to this Amara has wide selection of wines and local craft beers to choose from.

Tabla- Great Indian Food in Midtown

Can't say enough about the great meal we had here!  Modern, clean, nice new space, great bar.  We had a "thali" which allowed us a few sides for only $12 for lunch.  We asked out knowledgeable server for a substitute from the typical chicken Masala and we tried the Chicken Balti, which was delicious.  We were supposed to take the rest home but it was so yummy we had to stuff ourselves.  This spot is great for dinner and they also do 1/2 off bottles of wine on Tuesday's.  In the 77 12th Street area by Crescent Avenue intersection.

Great Deal at Spice to Table

Spice to Table is a wonderful Indian restaurant in Old 4th Ward and they are featuring a great deal on Scout Mob ($26 for 2 people!).  Owner Asha Gomez is also a James Beard Award winner.  Here are more details:

Spice to Table Presents: An Indian Feast for Two by Chef Asha Gomez

We’d be hard-pressed to find a more exuberant culinary master than Chef Asha Gomez. With this feast for two at her very own spot, she plans to spread the love through every course – from your first sip of chai to your final bite of her signature fried chicken. (They don’t call it the joy of cooking for nothing, after all.)

WHAT TO EXPECT

  • An Indian meal for two at Chef Asha Gomez's outpost in Old 4th Ward, Spice to Table
  • Two chai teas to warm you up
  • Two of Asha's famous samosas
  • Two entrees of your choice from a menu of spicy, savory, and complex dishes

SCOUT NOTES

Ever since we had our first tastes of Asha Gomez’s cooking in a certain cozily clandestine supper club years ago, we’ve been hooked. Since then, we’ve followed her culinary climb like devotees – from her beloved underground Spice Route dinner parties, to their brick and mortar leap at Cardamom Hill, the opening of the Third Space, to their most recent evolution at Spice to Table. And we weren’t the only ones to become smitten with her passion for Kerala cuisine and the flavors of South India: her nomination from the James Beard Awards and a tip of the hat from Bon Appetit were proof in the pudding.

Yummy Indian Food at Bhojanic


This Northern Indian restaurant has 2 locations-one in Decatur (the original) and a relatively new one at the shops around Lenox.  The Lenox location is more sleek and modern.  Decatur (more like Emory area) has patio seating as well.  What I like about Bhojanic is that they have these great things called "thali's" which is a combo platter of sorts.  Indian food lovers know that you usually have to order everything usually a la carte which can be pricey and leave with you with a ton of leftovers.  I am a big fan of the samosas and all the veggie thali's.  Tip:  Monday's are 1/2 off bottles of wine and Wednesday's they have a jazz band at the Decatur location.  They once played jazzy Radiohead and I loved it!
