Tulsi is big news.

Eater quoting a Mouthfuls thread is astounding.

Cool. Sorry if it's already mentioned above, but does anyone know the price for the tasting menu? I don't see it on the website.

There's a tasting menu?

[Wilfrid]

It sez so.

Had an excellent lunch here yesterday with another MFF poster. The room was empty when we arrived, couldn't have been more than 15% full when we left. Nothing to add on the food, but my meal was big enough for two lunches at $33 w/tax and tip - very very reasonable for the quality and the location I thought. Am absolutely going back for dinner in the next few weeks.


We were comped an order of Naan and the Chutney Plate.

According to Grub Street:

a seven-course tasting menu, launching next month ($65, $95 with paired wines, vegetarian option available);

[Wilfrid]

Gracias.

$5 for naan?
$10 for daal?
$5 for plain rice?
$10 for a trio of rice, which I'm guessing are the three thimble-fulls they served at Devi?
I hope the $5 for yogurt or pickles comes with some of that $5 naan.

Sheeeeee-yit.

It's a short walk to Sixth Street from your place.

And not even a carved carrot in sight.

I'll definitely go, but those prices are absurd, for items that should be free. I'm guessing that the bread at Del Posto is gratis. (Although I recall that Chang charges $7 or something for bread and butter.)

Edit: Seriously, is there any Western restaurant in New York charging those prices that does not provide a basket of bread/rolls/etc., which are probably more time consuming and expensive to make than naan and plain rice?

[Daisy]

I dunno, Stone, how much Indian food do you eat? When I lived in the EV the decent places, including my go-to, Haveli, charged for the naan. As does Bombay Talkie in Chelsea

[Stone]

I haven't eaten a lot of Indian lately, and when I do, it's usually a buffet. Yes, I know they charge for naan, but my recollection is that it's usually $1.95. Perhaps $5 is now standard. But they're also not charging $25 for entrees.

Seriously, I don't eat at high-end places as often as most people do and, yes, I'm cheap. Do any charge for bread?

[Orik]

I can't think of any midtown Indian that doesn't charge for rice, bread, dal, etc. At nearby Bukhara Grill, rice (enough for two or three) is $8, and most breads are $5
