From the OpenTable editors: Chef Samir Mohammad grew up in Taos, trained at Le Cordon Bleu, then spent years consulting at surf resorts across the South Pacific and South Asia. That world-spanning curiosity is the through-line at this intimate Noblesville bistro. Order the blackened pork tomahawk over pimento cheese risotto. Housemade burrata and roasted carrots round out the menu. The bar leans into the same spirit with classic cocktails named for local legends. Enjoy it all in a dining room that is personal, filled with cookbooks, travel trinkets, and mementos left behind by regulars.
