Charkha Exotic Indian Cuisine, Cleveland

In a dining space with rose-red banquettes and polished hardwood floors, servers at Charkha Exotic Indian Cuisine fold delicate pink linen napkins into blooming flowers. To pair with these subtle decorative accents, the kitchen staff whips up fish-laden curries, rice biryani dishes, and 16 distinct vegetarian dishes, releasing aromas of cumin, garlic, and coriander. These waft past the dining room's rustic wooden beams, and the less-rustic robo-monkeys that swing from them, to tables piled with housemade cheese paneer and yogurt-marinated shrimp tandoori.
