One of the newest additions to the high-end Indian scene in NYC, another spot focusing on the food of Kerala, as with Chatti (Lungi and Semma cover a broader region).
This was a tasty meal, with all the flavors there but dressed up for a fine dining format. So the sauces were a bit smoother than they would be in the original, the heat was a bit tamer, and everything was generally pretty and composed in a way it isn’t at origin 
.
Everyone was generally pleased (and it was already a return visit for some). My favorites were the beef, the prawn curry, and the sauce on the chicken main. Others loved the crab curry and the goat. My cocktail was excellent though now off-menu (I saw it earlier but they revamped their menu) – with cardamom and jaggery – and ended up being the table favorite / reorder.
Dessert was a disappointment in that there was nothing that appealed after a rich meal (Chatti has a couple of ice creams and a coffee custard that are just right for a bite).
