Cocktails get top billing at the third Badmaash, which brothers Nakul and Arjun Mahendro opened on Abbot Kinney in 2026: a dirty martini washed with olive oil, a mezcal margarita, bourbon with house date jam and Madeira. The room is dark, all blackened brick, denim banquettes and paint-spattered curtains, with '90s hip-hop playing and a Street Fighter painting by Action Bronson in the gallery room. It's still full at 9 on a weeknight. Order the chili cheese naan, the chicken tikka poutine and the coconut curry mussels billed as Dad's.
