Canadian - Indian Inspired ChickenTikka Naan & Ice Cream Sandwiches

Badass brothers Arjun and Nakul Mahendro are the co-owners of LA’s Indian gastropub Badmaash (helmed by their father, chef Pawan Mahendro). In this episode of Chef's Night Out, the duo heads out for a night of flawless food and drinks in Downtown LA. Friends Lele Massimini (Sugarfish), Alvin Cailan (Eggslut), and Ryan Aguilar (Badmaash) join the crew too.
Our first stop is Alma for a tantalizing tasting menu. Next, the group grubs and grabs beers on the perfect patio at Texas barbecue joint Horse Thief. After getting their second wind, they’re off to Japanese-American bar Wolf & Crane for copious shots of whiskey. The last stop of the night takes them back to Badmaash for their MUNCHIES meal, featuring a monstrous mash up of Canadian- and Indian-inspired chicken tikka and butter chicken with sauce poutine, lamb burgers, chicken tikka naan pizzas with tomato chutney sauce, and a fitting finale of Parle G ice cream sandwiches.

Great to see an Indian dish flourished in LA... ❤️

[@MrVinB]

Never thought I'd see a restaurant named after what my mom used to call me when I put coins into the VCR.

I went to Badmaash in 2016 after hearing about it being the Indian 'hotspot' in DT. Not only is the inside super cool with fun Bollywood posters, but the lamb tikka burger and paprika fries still live rent-free in my head to this day, haha. So glad this Punjabi family are getting the recognition they deserve!

I ate at Badmaash the last time I was in LA, the food is EXCEPTIONAL and such a fun atmosphere!

[@SabinaEngland]

Bro im Canadian Punjabi just like you guys moved out to California the same time as you guys I live in Norcal though but I gotta say man poutine chicken tikka oh my God man that’s fucking crazy bro poutine after a crazy Friday Saturday night eat it on the drive home pass on the car before you go in the house, smoke a fatty then don’t wake up the next day till its Paratha time baby But all bullshit and fun aside. Seriously guys and, Uncle ji congratulations on your success. I know you guys opened up two locations now in LA. I still haven’t had a fucking chance to get out there. I’m so busy with work, and the only time that I get to myself for vacation is going up north again to Edmonton but I will be down in summer of 2023 promise bro. I just hope you guys are there so I can introduce myself and tell you guys the Toronto Maple Leafs suck dick and Edmonton Oilers rule. LOL But seriously total success story live in the American dream doing what you love and spreading the culture. Love it baby keep it up you guys are fucking legends in the game.
