00:00Get in here. It's really good. You have to try it.
00:01It's Indian food, baby. You got to use your fingers.
00:04One restaurant, one rule. I don't order anything.
00:06The chef decides everything.
00:08Today we're at Sema. The restaurant specializes
00:10in South Indian cuisine.
00:12Their whole mission is they want to show people
00:14what Indian cuisine is beyond chicken tikka masala
00:17and butter chicken.
00:19I'm excited to try it.
00:20Welcome to Sema. The food is something
00:22what I grew up eating back home.
00:23I'm just going to be surprised for you.
00:24I hope you'll enjoy it.
00:25So the first dish you brought out for us
00:27is their gunpowder dosa.
00:29He said it's one of the most popular dishes on the menu.
00:31So this is a rice and lentil crepe.
00:33I don't know if you can tell how big it is.
00:34It's enormous.
00:35It's like almost the size of my forearm.
00:37I was instructed to just dig in with my hands,
00:41and that's what I'm going to do.
00:43It's messy, which is how it should be.
00:45That is so good. Get in here. It's really good.
00:47You have to try it.
00:48It's Indian food, baby. You got to use your fingers.
00:52Yeah.
00:53So we have a massive Maine lobster tail
00:56that's cooked in moylee sauce.
00:57It's a coconut-based sauce with turmeric and mustard seed,
01:00and it has very beautiful dots of herb and chili oil.
01:04We also have some paratha and coconut rice.
01:07I'm going to cut it first into small pieces,
01:09and then I'm going to go in with my hands again
01:11because that's what we have to do.
01:13Beautiful.
01:15I'm from Connecticut.
01:16We do the Connecticut-style lobster rolls
01:18that are coated in butter, and this is like that,
01:20but with coconut and turmeric and spices.
01:23So Chef Pache hooked it up.
01:25We have so much food in front of us,
01:27and I just don't have time to talk about it all with you,
01:29but you're just going to have to come in
01:30and check it out for yourself.
01:31Thankfully, I have two of my producers here,
01:33and they're going to help me eat everything.
01:34Okay, so-
01:35So-
01:35See you later.
