There are two types of Chelsea restaurants: those that are near Billy's Bakery and those that aren't. I have been known to plan entire evenings around Billy's Bakery: "Well," I will say, "We can meet at Billy's Bakery, go find a place to eat and come back for a cupcake." The biggest supporter of this type of plan is my friend Lisa, who also adores Billy's Bakery. "I adore Billy's Bakery," she'll frequently say.

I walked into Bombay Talkie hoping to experience Bollywood in the 1950s and taste yummy Bombaiyah street food.While the decor lived up to the expectations set by the restaurant's name, I was a bit disappointed with the food.

With the recent opening of Devi, and the continued greatness of places like Tamarind and Tabla, the high end of the Indian fare spectrum in New York City continues to impress (and to cause me to eat way too much rice and naan). Bombay Talkie, a cool, modern duplex that is an ode to the glory of Bombay’s streetfood and teahouse cuisine, falls somewhere in between the lofty goals of places like Devi and Tamarind, and the simple, more authentic tandor joints of 6th Street, like Brick Lane Curry House. But with walls lined with wild, colorful oversized canvases of reproduced Bollywood movie posters, flat screen tellies playing Bollywood’s best, a global beat soundtrack mixed by Grammy-nominated producer Andres Levin, and a long communal table where flirty jewel-toned cocktails ease neighbors into close conversation, Bombay Talkie is certainly the most chic Indian haunt to open in recent memory. It is filled with a fun, fizzy energy that is infectious. I would compare it to an Indian version of Sushi Samba; you can almost taste the next locations in Miami, Chicago and LA.
