The Gully is the latest edition to Steinway Street, an
area known for its great shopping, cafes and hookah
lounges in the heart of Astoria. The new “urban desi”
eatery — another term for Indian Punjabi or Southeast
Asian food, according to one of the owners — offers
the best of a variety of dishes from places like
Bangladesh, Delhi, Mumbai and South India.

The restaurant officially opened in
the last week of August and in celebration
of their grand opening,
the restaurant held a ribbon cutting
event that featured performances
from two artists from the United
Kingdom: Mumzy Stranger, a British
Bangladeshi singer and songwriter, and
Nish, a singer of Bangladeshi descent. The
lively celebration was a packed event and
was a great way to “bring the street flavor”
and introduce the area to the restaurant’s
colorful atmosphere and vibrant dishes.
