Leave it to an outsider to do what a local should’ve done a long time ago: make a thorough accounting of Bay Area Indian restaurants graphed by price and popularity.

Rajesh Niti, a cancer biologist in Tempe, Arizona (who originally hails from Chennai), is the creator of this genius visualization of 139 Indian eateries plotted on axes of “average rating” and “average cost of meal.” The lower left quadrant pens in restaurants that are “cheaper than average but not as tasty,” while the rarefied upper-right corner identifies places that are “more expensive than average and tasty.” (One would hope that a green pea and goat-cheese kulcha at San Francisco’s Rooh is “tasty,” for example, given it’s $18. But we’ve loved everything at both the San Francisco and Palo Alto locations.) The bottom-right section is perhaps the sweet spot for most people, where the price is low, and the quality ain’t lacking.
