America is a melting pot like India was over a 1000 years ago. Being in the US offers a chef a lot of exciting possibilities to play with the ingredients that are not commonly found in India. We are availing these opportunities to create an exciting menu that has a blend of traditional favorites like Chicken Tikka Masala and creative dishes like Bengal Fish Curry (made with Salmon that is not usually found in India). The goal is to present a creative, fresh, nutritious, tasty, flavorful and a balanced meal. Like the 21st century India, we are progressive with our cuisine and not bound by the ‘same-old’ mentality.Gracie's

- AAbbyGreater Boston •1 review5.0Dined 6 days agoOur dining experience was absolutely phenomenal. My girlfriend and I both have loads of allergies and it’s usually hard to find places to eat so accommodating. But dining here was the most relaxed we’ve ever been about a menu. The drinks were incredible, almost everything was naturally gluten free and the buffet style was amazing food that was constantly being refreshed. We spent just as much as we would any place in Mystic but it was the first time we’ve ever been wowed and thought “yeah that was worth the money”. Safe to say we were blown away.More infoFogo de Chão - Providence$$$$• Steakhouse• Providence•4.1

She suggested the perfect amount of food for my picky eater mother and timid dining dad. We were wowed by the death by chocolate dessert and chef’s preparation of the lamb lollipops and steak was pure perfection. Brittany also ensured we were fully paid in time for us to walk to the show at PPAC. 10/10 - great food and service!More infoCirce Restaurant & Bar$$$$• Contemporary American• Providence•4.7

Discover Providence
Long known for its classic New England seafood, Providence has also recently garnered a reputation for fine contemporary dining options. As a college town, it offers an abundance of laid-back, reasonably priced restaurants. But because the Johnson and Wales University campus is home to a well-respected culinary arts program, the town has become a popular proving ground for up-and-coming chefs. Even Providence's college students know and expect good food, which keeps the standards in this waterside city exceptionally high. The food options have also been heavily influenced by the city's proximity to Boston and New York. That means a lot of hearty, locally sourced dishes and ample pizza options. Providence's palate is also quite sophisticated, with restaurants serving up everything including French, Swiss, Italian and even vegan cuisine.
