Maska Mahal
On Valentine’s Day, channel the romantic Taj Mahal by sharing an Indian feast with your sweetie or gal pals at Maska. The beautifully appointed restaurant’s four-course menu includes a vegetarian option, bottomless Perrier-Jouët champagne and live music. Or make it a lunch date instead with a newly added daytime menu for titillating thali platters and mango lassis.
