TŪMBI is a modern Indian restaurant and bar just steps away from the ocean in the heart of Santa Monica. Drawing from the extravagant flavors and artistry of India's cultural heritage, the new Westside eatery is taking Modern Indian cuisine to the next level with an innovative menu that combines authentic Indian street food with haute cuisine. TŪMBI is the brainchild of owner RJ Singh who was inspired by his trips through India and used his knowledge and passion about the foods he tasted during his travels to capture the best flavors from each region to create the TŪMBI menu. Together with Chef Imran Mookhi, they developed robust flavor combinations of tamarind, turmeric, and fresh herbs to transport guests on a journey reminiscent of a vibrant bazaar filled with food carts, spice stalls and sweet shops. TŪMBI's menu draws on influences from various regions of India including Rajasthan, New Delhi, Goa and Chennai as well as the neighboring countries of Pakistan and Afghanistan.
