Presently, Kurry Qulture offers a $33 prix-fixe menu, which includes soup, two entrees, rice, naan and dessert. The menu is beautifully executed by Chef Ravi Bisht. A cloud of homemade puri arrives with a peppery mound of minced pumpkin, while salmon and crab croquettes are served with a pickled green chili aioli. One of the most exceptional dishes I tasted this past year was the Manchurian cauliflower at Kurry Qulture. Crispy coated florets are tossed in a chili tomato glaze, then sprinkled with chives. Portions are more than adequate to share with the table, but trust me, this is one you won’t want to split with anyone. Chicken kebobs are delicately seasoned with fennel, cardamom, coriander seeds and a sweet apricot chutney. The aforementioned rogan josh quite literally falls from the bone as you lift it from a pool of one of the richest, most delectable Fresh Naan sauces to ever dress a lamb shank. The cocktail menu comes from the whimsical mastery of Bo Dhale and reads like an ode to Astoria. Drinks range from the Thirstiest Avenue to Astoria of My Life. The day we stopped by, Dhale was mixing a homemade chili pineapple syrup that he adds to Mexcal in the Hex-Mex. Kurry Qulture is housed in a stunning setting with contemporary Indian photography and furniture designed by Solomon. A back patio features a traditional Indian wishing tree, where colorful strings of wishes are knotted to the branches. For a delicious surprise in a warm setting that is refreshingly easy on the wallet, definitely stop by and check it out.
