Agni

Eggs get star billing at this South Indian eatery. A fiery masala omelet is studded with green chilies, whole hard-cooked eggs are embedded in biryani, and crispy dosa arrive with a cracked egg on top. But this bright, colorful cafe has other lures. Mysore-­style goat in an onion-­tomato brew is fragrant with cinnamon and cloves. Smoky shrimp and shallots take a classic coconut curry to hall-of-fame heights. And kothu paratha—a humble fry-up of diced bread, chicken, and vegetables to drizzle with raita—is the ultimate comfort. Tart housemade lime soda cools down all the heat. And don’t be shy about checking out the kids’ menu, where you’ll find a stellar Nutella dosa.
