Fantastic space, amazing food. Totally redefines your idea of Indian food into a Brooklyn bistro experience with the most fabulous food and cocktails and service. Rivals Indian accent at a fraction of the cost.
Came on a Tuesday evening and it was pretty empty. Absolutely delicious drinks. Love the chaat masala salt rims. There’s a cocktail for every palate.
The fusion is subtle in most dishes, which is fun! 4.5 stars round up to 5 because the portions are pretty small.
Pao de Queijos and their accompanying chutneys were delightful.
Pani puri has salmon crudo in it so it was almost Japanese fusion. The tamarind soup I would have preferred to have more spices and be more tart.
Pomegranate Panisse - a great chaat/snack.
Spinach ravioli - mild and earthy. It was good, but I was hoping for a stronger masala flavor since it has potential to be more like saag paneer.
Wild mushroom dish - really good but a small dish. The crispy bottom and the soft mushrooms are a great pairing.
I thoroughly enjoyed our meal here! It wasn’t the crazy, knock my socks off, oh my god I need to return every day for the next week feeling that I usually have for places I give 5 stars to, but it was solidly solid.
The atmosphere and service were 5⭐️.
The pao de paneer would be a skip- it was good but not substantially different from the Brazilian cheese bread it’s based off of. The chutneys were good, but again, nothing I would order again.
Our mains were delicious! I would call the things we had vaguely Indian- it’s not clearly Indian like some of the other contemporary Indian restaurants in the city. Both dishes were great though! I haven’t had anything like either of those dishes!
The cake was delicious- moist and dense and wonderful.
Overall, we are excited to return some time! I wanna try the poutine for sure and the ravioli!
It was clear that whoever created this place put a lot of thought and love into it, and I hope it becomes a place we return to every year.
