When I walked in, I was immediately hit with the home-y, fermented smell of fresh dosas and aroma of a variety of chilled chutneys. It looked like more of a hole-in-the-wall before entering, but instead I found a vast space decorated with exquisite Indian murals depicting holy cows in nature. And, the noise of chatting families and sizzling dosas only added to the consuming experience I found myself in.

And after I was seated, I was met with a friendly face asking what I would like to order today. It was the face of Ashok Nadikattu, who manages the restaurant his brother Rahul Nadikattu owns. The two brothers, who are “practically best friends” as Ashok put it, are responsible for Dosa Express—the hottest new South Indian restaurant in the area.

Rarely does an album emerge that transcends time and convention. When albums are released, they are often tailored for a specific period in the artist’s life, a reference point that is exhausted alarmingly quickly due to over-saturation (Think, Adele’s 30 or Cardi B’s Invasion of Privacy). But not Megan Thee Stallion’s most recent—and authentic—album to date, Traumazine.
