Th e 30th Avenue station in Astoria is
closed until June for renovations, but one
restaurant is hoping to incentivize diners
to use other modes of transportation to
feast on their off erings.
Kurry Qulture, located at 36-05 30th
Ave., opened in 2015 and features a seasonal
menu, the only Indian restaurant
in New York City to do so, according
to owner Sonny Solomon. Solomon has
more than 17 years’ experience working
in city restaurants.
On Jan. 8, the restaurant announced it
would partially pay for a customer’s Uber
or Lyft ride. One credit of up to $10 can
be applied per table and the restaurant
will credit the diner’s check.
On the same day, the restaurant also
announced a new winter menu conceptualized
by Chef Binder Saini who was born
in Punjab, India, and worked at restaurants
including Saff ron in Boston and
Amma in New York City.
Solomon described the menu as a variety
of “classic, soul-nurturing Indian
dishes with a modern fusion and fl air.”
Th e menu features 12 appetizers, 25
entrees and sides of naan, chutney and
rice.
“Th ere is something for everyone, even
if you’ve never tried Indian food before,”
Saini said.
New dishes include amritsari fi sh, a tilapia
fi llet with carom seeds and chickpea
fl our; teekhn murgh, spicy chicken curry
made with Jamaican peppers; and salmon
kalvaan, a tandoori grilled salmon dish
with a coconut tamarind sauce.
Kurry Qulture also caters to vegetarians
and vegans with dishes such as aloo gobi,
caulifl ower and potatoes with turmeric,
phool makhane ki subzi, lotus puff s
with ricotta cheese and green peas and dal
makhani, a dish with black lentils and red
kidney beans.
Th e restaurant is open seven days a
week for dinner from 5 p.m. until midnight
and for weekend brunch from noon
to 3 p.m.
