Description
This Michelin-recognized and two-star New York Times-reviewed spot has operated for over 26 years, originally created by Shiva Natarajan and now owned by Min Bhujel. The kitchen complements its dishes with scratch-made chutneys and sauces, alongside a curated international wine list and a cocktail program by Allen Katz. Diners frequently point to the lamb biryani, Murgh Malai, and cashew curry as highlights, noting the tender, well-seasoned meats.
