Kailash Parbat

"Kailash Parbat is where you go when you’ve got picky eaters in your family but you still have to invite them because they'd eventually find out that you had dinner without them. The extensive menu has food from almost every region of India—including a few dishes beloved by the diaspora in Singapore—and they do them all very well. You’ll find homestyle dishes like Sindhi curry and paneer bhurji, as well as chole bhatura that fulfills all of our fried bread fantasies." - hannah albertine, kenny yang

"If you can’t decide what to order off the Kailash Parbat chaat menu, go with the chaat platter. Samplings are seemingly chosen by texture–something soft, something crispy, something wet, something dry, etc. Sometimes they’ll switch things up, but you’ll generally get a freshly fried vada topped with dahi, bhel, and crispy corn baskets that are an adorably convenient way to get a spoonful of sweet corn and undiluted chaat masala into your mouth. Add an order of pani puri to cover all the essentials. Eat each puri in one bite for a burst of sour and minty pani that tastes like you swallowed ocean water that’s somehow umami. " - neha talreja

"Kailash Parbat is a restaurant founded in Mumbai (formerly called Bombay) in 1952, reflecting the Sindhi cuisine of what is now Pakistan. It has become an international chain. The food is strictly vegetarian, and the menu contains lots of festive snacks in addition to a marvelous spinach biryani. The dining room is filled with colorful photo murals and latticed wood." - Robert Sietsema, Melissa McCart

"Kailash Parbat is a unique restaurant in the city, from an international chain founded in Bombay in 1952, specializing in the strictly vegetarian Sindhi cooking of northwestern India and Pakistan." - Robert Sietsema

"There are lots of Indian restaurants to choose from in and around Kips Bay, but our favorite is Kailash Parbat on 27th and Lex. This place has food from almost every region of India and even a few dishes beloved by the diaspora in Singapore (where they have another location). If you’re dining with a group, order the chaat and kebab platters to pass around the table. You’ll also find homestyle dishes like Sindhi curry and paneer bhurji, as well as chole bhatura that fulfills all of our fried bread fantasies. " - team infatuation
