"Testing local waters, this London Indian restaurant, founded by Will Bowlby and Rik Campbell, blends Indian flavors with seasonal British ingredients for its small-plate restaurants—a step above ubiquitous curry houses yet not as fancy as fine-dining Indian spots. Its first debut in New York comes as a two-night pop-up at Comal on Monday, October 6 and Tuesday, October 7 (116 Forsyth Street at Broome Street), with a $90 menu featuring staples like bhel puri and Keralan fried chicken plus fusion dishes that nod to Comal’s Mexico City-leaning sensibility; reservations are via Resy from 5 p.m. onward, all ahead of a potentially permanent opening in late 2026 or 2027." - Melissa McCart
