Opened in 2018 within the Minnesota Street Project, Besharam reclaims the word “Besharam” — Gujarati for “shameless” — as a celebration of boldness, resilience, and unapologetic self-expression. The restaurant showcases Heena’s innovative approach to Indian dining, blending the rich traditions of Gujarati vegetarian cuisine with seasonal California ingredients and a fine-dining lens that challenges expectations. Its ever-evolving menus and spice-driven beverage program create an experience that is playful, layered, and deeply personal.
