Pijja Palace

Silver Lake, Los Angeles · Indian · $$

Owner Avish Naran took over the old Sunset Foot Clinic space and turned it into a sports bar that happens to cook the Indian flavors of his family table through pizza and pasta. Chef Miles Shorey's malai rigatoni, in a spiced tomato cream, became one of the most copied plates in Los Angeles, and the green chutney pizza and yellow wings hold their own under a wall of TVs. Reservations vanish in seconds, so walk in at opening on a night without a big game.
