Can an upscale Indian restaurant not only survive but thrive in Seattle? The owners of Nirmal’s think so. Gita and Oliver Bangera named the Pioneer Square eatery for Bombay-born chef Nirmal Monteiro, who’s donned toques in Italy and Japan. The restaurant highlights the breadth of India’s culinary traditions rather than concentrating on any particular region. For a true sampling of the country’s flavors—and Monteiro’s impressive talents—order the daily rotating thali, an assortment of coordinated small plates that may include lemon-scented rice from the south, spicy pork vindaloo from the west, and white fish in pungent mustard oil from the northeast. Then come back tomorrow for round two.
