# 8 Chakra: MAYBE

If New York can have a Tabla, why can't we? LA may never know.

High point Lamb tandoori that makes you wonder if other places serve mutton. A ginger mojito that won't send you into a diabetic coma. Next door to the WGA Theater.

Low point Tandoori mushrooms stuffed with mushy paneer; $27 for five dabs of creamed spinach, each topped with a slightly gritty (although large) scallop.

Saving grace Service and setting a cut above most curry houses. And it's not Nirvana, which features a tee-hee Kama Sutra menu and dishes like wild boar with mango coulis.
