NOT YOUR TYPICAL INDIAN RESTAURANT
BADMAASH, A PUNJABI AND HINDI WORD THAT TRANSLATES ROUGHLY AS “BADASS,” IS A TERM OF ENDEARMENT.

Forgoing intricate tapestries, buffet tables, and the soft mood lighting many have come to associate with Indian restaurants, Badmaash serves up Indian cuisine with a whole new attitude that is at once approachable and bad-ass. Launched by Pawan Mahendro and his sons Nakul and Arjun, the LA-based Indian gastropub serves up traditional flavors with a bit of modern foodie innovation. Visitors can look forward to original signatures like a lamb burger with paprika mayo washed down with bottles of Thums Up — India’s answer to Coca-Cola.
