Bibi Ji sits at 1213 State Street in downtown Santa Barbara, a partnership between owner Alejandro Medina and founding partner and sommelier Rajat Parr. The menu pairs traditional Indian curries with local produce and local seafood served sea-to-table, backed by an extensive list of rare natural wines.
The uni biryani — fried rice served in a sea urchin shell — has become a dish people specifically order, drawing outside coverage over the years.
Michelin selected Bibi Ji for its Santa Barbara guide, describing it as a room that "makes quite a splash," built on dishes that draw from both land and sea and are meant for sharing.
