Chaska

If you’re in the Richmond in search of casual Indian-Pakistani food, Chaska is the answer. This family-run spot is a chill haven of well-seasoned curries, biryanis, and tandoori dishes that'll wake up your sinuses with all the spice. The menu is massive, but gravitate toward the crispy veggie pakora, the chewy okra bhindi masala, slow-cooked goat karahi, and daal makhani. Get some naan for your curries, and raita for a dash of freshness, and you’re guaranteed a good time.
