"How one man went from being so poor that he couldn't afford a signboard to getting a nod from Michelin inspectors."

After meandering through Little India, you would have worked up enough of an appetite for lunch. Head to Lagnaa Barefoot Dining to indulge in a feast, the traditional family-style way. As its name suggests, you’ll be sharing platters of North and South Indian dishes while seated, sans shoes, on the floor. Dig into the food like the locals do—with your hands.

Lagnaa Barefoot Dining is an Indian restaurant that has 10 levels of spiciness, but you can’t just jump straight to the highest level. To get there, you’ve got to start from level 1 and work your way up. Only those who pass level 6 get to proceed to the finale. Those who complete level 3 and above will get a clothes peg with your name on it, pinned on the restaurant’s “Wall Of Flame”.

One of my favourite naans from Lagnaa was the Cranberry Naan, which the owner of the place recommended (and with good reason). It may strike a first-timer odd to pair this sweetened naan with a spicy sauce like the Prawn Masala but if you are willing to be a little adventurous and try the combination, you will surely not be disappointed.

The place offers various levels of spiciness for their curries but proceed with caution—we heard that level 6 is so hot that your stomach will still be churning from the heat the next morning.

For a bite, Lagnaa... barefoot dining -- which is pretty much what it sounds like -- comes highly recommended for its cushioned seating and tasty Indian cuisine.

With a wall of fame and a signboard that details the various spice level of their curries, you know that Lagnaa takes pride in their fiery curry creations. And you can’t just jump straight and request for their spiciest Level 10 curry. You’ll actually have to first earn that opportunity by gobbling down their Level 6 – I Dare You curry challenge. And there’s no water or any yoghurt-based items to help quench the heat. It’s just you and your tolerance for heat that stands in your way of making it
