New South Indian Restaurant in NYC
I was invited to a special pre-opening of this new South Indian restaurant in NYC, and I was impressed. The space is beautifully designed, creating a warm and inviting ambience. The food was served in a fancy, elegant way, but the flavors stayed bold, rich, and authentically Kerala-style—definitely worth recommending. Unlike many upscale South Indian spots with limited vegetarian options, this place has plenty, and I didn’t even get to try everything on the menu!
