Restaurant Week India & Koh

After two weeks of gorging on amazing preparations in Los Angeles and New York, I've heard the best news this morning:



The event starts next week (Sept 6-12). A friend of mine (Mangal Dalal) along with a few other people has accomplished somewhat of a foodie coup by

1) Herding notoriously unherdable Indian entrepreneurs
2) Convincing Indian luxury places to sell things for the cheap-cheap
3) Picking just a great starting list which includes:
- Koh (Ian Kittichai of New York)
- San Qi (Great but normally overpriced Pan-Asian Resto at the Four Seasons)
- Tote (Same owners as Indigo but more exciting menu)

Reservations can be made through the website and the prix-fixe is only Rs 1000 (~$20).


Separately, I'm very excited that Ian Kittichai's Koh snuck into Mumbai during my hiatus (see below). Brunch this Sunday at New York's Kittichai--the once-hip but now largely-overlooked restaurant--pleasantly surprised me. Granted, it's not the best traditional Thai in New York (go to Sripraphai or Land Thai for that), but it's always more enjoyable to try innovative Thai!
