Artisanal Indian Opens @Ex-Orgasmica

Nearly 4 months after the Pizza Orgasmica annex served its last provocatively named pie, a new Indian restaurant with a fine pedigree -- its owners ran Indian Oven at the southern end of Fillmore Street for a dozen years -- is having its Grand opening. 

The well-priced menu boasts angus beef, Mary's free-range chicken and interesting biriyani and vegetable preparations that could give Dosa up the hill a run for its money. 

We are reminded that a casual Indian dining spot failed not too long ago just a few doors down, where Tacko is thriving today. Could Lasan find an Indian sweet spot in a neighborhood soft on salads, burgers, tacos and tequila? Stay tuned.
