Amogha brings regional Indian cooking to Vancouver's Main Street — seven states, one kitchen, no clichés.Led by Chef & Co-owner Ravi Bobba, the kitchen doesn't do generic curry-house Indian, and it doesn't do fusion. We cook the real thing: Chettinad from Tamil Nadu, the river-belt heat of Andhra, Hyderabadi Nizami biryani, Mangalorean ghee roasts from Karnataka, Malabar seafood from Kerala, and the classics of Punjab and Old Delhi. Whole spices, ground in-house. Fire where it counts.Signature plates run from slow-braised Nihari Lamb Chops with hand-pulled Malabar paratha to traditional Hyderabadi Chicken Dum Biryani.Alongside is a full bar treating Indian aromatics — tamarind, cardamom, saffron, rose — as primary ingredients, not garnish: tamarind sours, cardamom old fashioneds, saffron martinis, each built to pair with the food.Seven states. One kitchen. Come hungry.
