Cast in sophisticated hues of saffron and polished black, Old Monk is a jewel box of a modern-Indian restaurant serving vibrant culinary interpretations rendered in seasonal, farm-fresh ingredients.
Grab your $59 pulse (a $104 value) for an opulent 3 Course Dinner For Two, that includes 1 Appetizer, 2 Entrees, 1 Dessert, and 1 Bottle of Wine at this glittering new project by restauranteur Sushil Malhotra (Cafe Spice).
Punjab-born Executive Chef Navjot Arora stays faithful to the memory of his home country by paying exacting attention to regional specialties, albeit with fine-dining techniques and contemporary plating.
On the menu: tender free-range Tandoor Lamb Chops marinated in rum and ginger, or the signature Anjeer Kofta (fluffy fig-paneer cheese dumplings in a saffron sauce).
Further elevating your palate will be expertly curated wine courtesy of Consulting Sommelier Kristie Petrullo-Campbell (an Eleven Madison Park and Jean Georges alum).
Like the food, the decor is a tantalizing mix of the old (colorful Sanskrit scarves, antique mirrors) and the new (copper bar & ceiling, custom-upholstered bistro chairs).
As Pete Wells pronounced in The New York Times, Old Monk offers "very delicious cooking in ways that resonate with a modern audience."
Best known for introducing contemporary Indian cuisine to America through his Cafe Spice empire, Sushil Malhotra presents another visionary concept in Old Monk: high-energy, inventive and beautifully presented Indian cuisine in a boutique setting.
Tarik Currimbhoy (also behind 1 Michelin-star Junoon) designed the vivacious, sensual space swathed in burnt orange and polished black. Walnut tables are framed by Michael Thonet chairs topped with saffron cushions; oversize prints of modern-day monks dot the tea-colored walls.
On the innovative menu, Executive Chef Navjot Arora expresses time-honored flavors in the current lexicon of the finest ingredients. To start, the crispy Chinese-Indian Chili Chicken (sambal, olek, garlic-soy) is a crowd pleaser.
From the tip of the peninsula comes the Goan Salmon simmered in coconut, curry leaves and tomatoes. Or try the Tellicherry Pepper Beef, fork-tender flank steak rubbed with the aromatic whole peppercorns from the jungles of Kerala.
After a housemade dessert such as the Double Ka Meetha (Indian bread pudding), you'll be perfectly poised for a night out in one of the most exciting neighborhoods in New York City...
All selections will be made from the restaurant's full dinner menu.
