Silver Lake's Indian-American sports bar — malai rigatoni, dosa onion rings, and the restaurant concept that LA didn't know it was missing
Avish Nair and partner Bhuvan Srinivasan opened Pijja Palace as a sports bar with Indian-inflected bar food, and the restaurant immediately became one of the most talked-about openings in recent Los Angeles memory. The concept works because the Indian flavors aren't tacked on — the malai rigatoni, a pasta dish with a cream sauce spiked with Indian spices, feels like it was inevitable; the dosa onion rings rethink the onion ring from first principles; and the green chutney pizza brings the brightness that the format needs without being a novelty. The television-equipped room fills with genuine sports fans and food-focused diners simultaneously, which shouldn't work but does.
