Just an hour down the San Francisco Bay is Junnoon, one of only three Bay Area spots included in Esquire's "Best Restaurants of 2006" honors. The cuisine is Indian, but with an endless succession of undeniably modern twists. Dishes are augmented with exotic ingredients like winter squash, sugar pumpkin and chargrilled shrimp, as well as mind-bending pairings like pomegranate and peanut. The whole menu is rife with specialties you just don't see every day, like Bombay-style crabcakes, an Indian take on wontons, and even masala-inflected mashed potatoes. Junnoon is also well-known for its innovative cocktails, many of which add Indian flair to some American classics: the "Drunken Darjeeling" is a Long Island Iced Tea done up with top-shelf liquors and everyone's favorite Indian tea, and the "Manic Masala Mary" is a Bloody Mary with pepper-infused vodka and a helping of house-procured spices. See website for full menu, "Power Lunch" info and more.
