With an explosion of elevated Asian-inspired cuisine over the last 5 years, there remains a significant opportunity to deliver an Indian restaurant that combines unmistakable culinary credibility with a discerning New York touch—a dining experience that brings forward the sophistication, sexiness and coolness of modern-day India in a way that is uniquely cool (and not overly ethnic, themed nor transportive.) An experience that is inspired by traditional Indian techniques and ingredients but delivers an elevated and distinctly downtown New York City dining experience.
The backbone must be the culinary program-the promise of Michelin Star-quality cuisine, served in a space that feels dream-like.
