Junoon, First Class Indian Food

Wow! This is probably one of the cheapest lunch menu offered in a Michelin starred restaurants we know. The 25 USD lunch menu (starters, main course and dessert) is a knock-out. Besides the prices, the setting is grandiose, the place can serve up to 150 guests at once. It’s located next to the famous Flatiron building.

Now, let's turn our attention to the food offered for our lunch on April 27^th 2015: the starters were all savory and refined, especially the Piri-Piri Shrimp and the Lashooni Gobi (Crispy floret and cauliflower with chili flakes and tomato chutney). The main courses we had were Murg Lababdar (Chicken Tikka), Lamb Kolhapuri (lamb simmered in spicy curry) and Chanda Pindi (stewed chickpeas marinated in onion and ginger) were tasty and elevated. The whole meal was served with incredible naan and Pulao Basmati Rice. The desserts, Coconut Pudding with Ginger Sorbet were perfect for a nice ending.

The wine list is amazing for an Indian restaurant, the list is very diverse and cosmopolite, it travels from Austria to Australia, from France to the USA, from Spain to Argentina, from Italy to New Zealand. They have also an incredible cocktail list and delicious lassies.

The service is extremely friendly and professional, the host made us feel right at home.

Vikas Khanna and his pastry chef, Shoukut Hussain deserved their first Michelin star and our praises.
