Editorial Review
Ex-Tamarind hand reboots with classy midtown spot named for the oldest city in India. Contemporary room with butterscotch banquettes and chairs, dark wood tables. Colorful chandelier globes brighten the ceilings, while framed saris enliven the walls. Serves the food of Utter Pradesh province. Curry eggplant and turnip soup highlight veggie classics. On the meatier side, it’s mushroom-garlic lobster, shellfish with noodles and tomato, cardamom lamb. Tight edit on the wine list, cocktails highlighted by tequila with roasted pineapple, housemade orange liqueur, and chili grenadine.
