Novato, CA — At last Novato, California  has its own Indian restaurant: Anokha Cuisine of India. Owner Surinder “Pal” Sroa, who also owns the award-winning Lotus Cuisine in San Rafael, CA and Café Lotus in Fairfax, CA has been a resident of Novato since 1987 and feels privileged to be able to open an Indian restaurant in his home town. 

Anokha opened mid-Summer 2009. Located in Old Town Novato at 811 Grant Avenue, it is open daily for lunch or dinner, eat-in or take-out. A lunch buffet is served every day. Anokha is also available for private parties and catering. 

“Anokha” means different and unique, and Anokha Cuisine creates an exceptional dining experience. In this family-owned restaurant authentic home-style cuisine of Northern Indian is lovingly prepared from the freshest ingredients, personally selected, local and organic where available. Chef Hardip “Bagga” Singh also uses fresh spices, many imported directly from India. All food is cooked using pure canola and olive oils, with no saturated fats, dyes, chemicals or MSG.  

Specialties include Tandoori dishes (cooked in a cylindrical clay tandoor oven). Anokha also features vegetarian, lamb, seafood or chicken curries. Appetizers are served with house-made hot green mint sauce, or sweet tamarind sauce, and the restaurant serves nine varieties of Indian breads. The generous menu includes vegan and vegetarian delicacies. Foods can also be prepared according to particular tastes or needs — gluten-free or with varying degrees of spice and oil. 

Sroa is also owner of the Golden Egg Omelet House, located next door to Anokha Cuisine at 807 Grant Avenue. For more information call (415) 892-3440 or go to http://anokharestaurant.com, where online takeout ordering is available.
