Transport your weekend to somewhere warmer, spicier, and decidedly more boozy at Red Onion, the Eater-applauded East Village favorite serving modern Indian flavors just steps from Tompkins Square Park. Think fragrant spices, sizzling tandoor-fired plates, sunlight pouring in, and a table crowded with cocktails, naan, and food that makes a leisurely brunch stretch deliciously into the afternoon.
Grab your $39 pulse (a $102 value) for a 2 Course Cocktail Brunch For Two that includes 1 Appetizer, 2 Entrees, a Side Salad, Choice of White Rice or Garlic Naan, plus 2 Carafes of Brunch Cocktails. Pick your tipple from Aperol Spritzes, Mimosas, Red Sangria, or White Sangria, because one cocktail is nice, but a carafe with approximately 6 cocktails person on the table is brunch done properly!
Start by tearing into a crisp, golden Samosa, stuffed with spiced potatoes, peas & herbs, while the first glasses get poured. Then, take your pick from a seriously stacked entrée lineup. Go smoky and indulgent with Lamb Chops, Salmon Fish Tikka, Chili Garlic Shrimp, or juicy Malai Chicken Skewers, or dig into the Barbeque Tandoori Chicken Power Bowl.
Why not keep things fresh with the Chickpea Avocado Protein Salad, Royal Paneer Green Salad, or sweet-savory Watermelon Mint Feta Chaat? Add fluffy garlic naan or white rice, keep the sangria flowing, and settle into Red Onion's cozy, contemporary digs while the East Village buzzes outside.
This isn't eggs-and-toast territory. It's a colorful, cocktail-fueled Indian brunch escape with bold spices, overflowing carafes, tandoor smoke, and all. If you're craving a brunch worth leaving bed for, Red Onion has your table waiting...
Red Onion may be a relative newcomer to the East Village, but there’s serious history behind it. Owner Varun Singh comes from a family with roots in Rajasthan’s royal heritage and a hospitality tradition stretching back to the 1930s, bringing generations of experience to a restaurant that feels distinctly at home in modern-day Manhattan. The result is an ode to Indian cooking that respects tradition without being afraid to have a little fun with it.
Inside, the mood matches the menu. Think warm, polished, contemporary, and made for lingering. Tucked just around the corner from Tompkins Square Park, Red Onion channels the neighborhood’s spirited energy into a space equally suited to a boozy catch-up, a brunch date, or an afternoon that starts with samosas and somehow ends several carafes later. It’s elevated without feeling stuffy.
Freshness is at the heart of the kitchen, with dishes prepared from scratch and a menu that moves effortlessly between comforting classics and modern creations. Tear into buttery Garlic Naan, then explore everything from clay-oven Lamb Seekh Kabab, Tandoori Chicken, and Salmon Fish Tikka to Paneer Tikka, Achari Mushrooms, Chili Garlic Shrimp, and hearty bowls and salads. It’s Indian cooking built for sharing, mixing, matching, and ordering one more for the table.
And because this is brunch in the East Village, the drinks get just as much attention. Carafes of Aperol Spritzes, Mimosas, Red Sangria, and White Sangria bring the weekend feels, pairing bright, refreshing pours with all that spice and tandoor-fired flavor. Part Rajasthan, part downtown New York, and entirely its own thing, Red Onion is a transportive little escape without ever leaving the East Village...
All selections are made from the restaurant's full brunch menu.
