I had a memorable dinner at Gran Dabbang. I saved it on my Tripadvisor trip map months ago and forgot exactly what it was other than highly rated. It turned out to be Indian-Korean fusion. Very odd, but everything was delicious. I've never understood firsthand the term "layers of flavors" until then.

They don't take reservations. We arrived at 8:30 and had a ~1 hour wait out on the sidewalk with 4-5 other parties. Good service. Cost was ~US$40 for two people.

We ordered:
Spicy pickled chiles
Labne, date chutney, cucumber, and chickpea noodle nest thing (honestly I've never seen anything like it)
Swiss chard pakoras with carrot chutney, drenched in siracha and yogurt (I'd ask for the sauces on the side or half as much drizzled next time)
Charred aubergine with miso tahini, ginger banana caju, shiso seeds, and nori
Pork matambrito with gochujang, coconut, grilled mango, and peanut salad
Rabbit curry with green peach salad and coconut chutney (I didn't try this one; rabbits are too cute)
Three maybe half-liter bottles of housemade sparkling water
Shared dessert - Black Dabbang carob and honey pot de creme type thing with indescribable crunchy honeycomb candy things and fruit jellies
