Banjara Indian Cuisine, the highly distinguished Zagat-rated restaurant, is named for the Banjara people whose Rajasthani homeland is near Jaisalmer and Jodphur. However, the Banjara live and travel throughout twenty-two states of India, taking with them a rich cultural history of rice and a distinctive individual aesthetic. They are renowned for their dramatically colorful dress, much of it featuring intricate embroidery and magnificent jewelry. The Banjara people enjoy wearing their wealth, and proudly display an array of rings, bracelets and earrings. The songs, poetry and dance that they have handed down through generations are filled with characteristic mystery, romance and intrigue.
At Banjara, they have created a menu of both classic and contemporary Indian dishes that use spices more subtly than often found in Indian Cooking. Their dishes have a decidedly sophisticated orientation; they consist of many spices traditionally found in Indian food, but through expert and unique cooking techniques, they are used in much more imaginative combinations.
