Best Indian restaurant
Maybe it's the gossamer light fixtures or the cobalt-blue glasses punctuating the tables, but Diva Indian
Bistro in Davis Square has stolen the fancy of Phoenix readers away from long-time fave Kashmir, the
restaurant's big sister on Newbury Street. The food at Diva is suffused with the same flavorful
ingredients - tamarind, lentils, and garam masala - and favors South Indian favorites like dosas, a
stuffed crêpe-like bread. And the royal dinner for two (actually, it's easily big enough for three) is
a gut-stretching tour of the continent. But it's the hip digs that set Diva apart from its competition
in Boston: beautiful trappings rendered as casual chic. Diva is a feast for the eyes as well as the palate.
Diva, 246 Elm Street, Davis Square, Somerville, (617) 629-4963.
