At India Pavilion Restaurant, meat and vegetarian options abound along with subcontinental sweets and freshly brewed or smoothied beverages as golden-hued walls surround diners. A meat or vegetarian thaali combination plate begins with a bowl of soup, such as mulligatawny, chicken, coconut and pistachio, or sambaar, a vegetable soup that’s as sweet and tart as a kiss from a mean aunt. Carnivores may choose one poultry specialty, such as spicy jerk chicken or creamy chicken saag, and one lamb dish, whereas vegetarians get a choice of two vegetarian repasts, including the anda paneer’s eggs in creamy tomato sauce or gobi kaju masala with cauliflower and cashews in a gourmet curry. Entrees are emboldened with reinforcements including house-made yogurt, a choice of bread, and libations such as the nonalcoholic appletini, the Smoldering Night smoothie, with pineapple, strawberry, lime, and coconut cream, or a sweet -and-spicy ice masala chai. For dessert, choose between kheer, an Indian rice pudding, or exotic gulab jamun, an entourage of sweetened dumplings wallowing in syrup like so many IHOP customers at 4:30 a.m.
