Vajra

Offering upscale and interesting turns on Indian and Nepalese food, Vajra entertains your adventurous side with Himalayan Grilled Chicken, Heritage Goat and Tandoori Venison, among the many out-of-the-ordinary choices. Naan is usually a support for sauces and bits of veg and meat but Vajra's Gruyere cheese naan is a delight to devour on its own. Seasoning tends to be mild, so if you want to sweat be sure to ask for a heavier hand. Although beer always complements Indian food, cocktails (and mocktails) are inventive: The Snapdragon Alabaster combines Absolut Elyx Vodka. Sweet Lassi. Ginger Liqueur and Rosewater transporting you to a bar in the clouds of Mt. Everest. Murals of Nepalese art and very accommodating staff add to the pleasant dining experience.
