If you’re adventurous and willing to brave a little spice, Cardamom Hill serves a traditional South Indian palette with a Western twist. For the purist, classic Indian dishes include vindaloo and biryani. However, you’ll do a double take when you see the Kerala Fried Chicken and Waffles and the Shrimp and Grits in the American South inspired section of the menu. Boasting excellent service and a romantic atmosphere, the restaurant does everything it can do help you prepare for the flavor roller coaster on which you’re about to embark. All main dishes are shareable, and you can even pop in simply for appetizers and a drink. You’ll leave with your taste buds on fire, not quite sure what just happened but certain that you’ll be back.
