"The aromatic spicy scents wafting from Pondicheri’s Bake Lab will lead diners upstairs from the restaurant to a quiet bakery and market where a treasure trove of gluten-free baked goods resides. Dip a double chocolate hazelnut and basil cookie into a steaming cup of masala chai, or its many versions of dosas, a fermented bread made from a combination of dal, fenugreek, and rice. The dwaffle, a crispy waffle made from dosa batter, can be enjoyed savory or sweet. If the main restaurant dowstairs proves too enticing, consider the Vishnu thali for the table, a towering platter with dishes like sesame saag, pondi salad, and potato cake." - Brianna Griff
