This kitschy new gastropub is a downtown L.A. newcomer, but its chef, Pawan Mahendro, brings 40 years of experience with him to the kitchen. Badmaash means “naughty” in Hindi, and Mahendro adds a dollop of mischief to both the décor and his offerings.

Wash down the Mumbai street food–inspired fare with a sugary Thums Up, India’s answer to Coke.
