First things first: it’s going to be very hard to get a reservation here in a few months. Everything is on point at Kashi: service, food, and vibe. The details matter, and Chef Dhawan clearly understood the assignment: Downtown Brooklyn has needed a standout Indian spot for years, and this finally fills that gap.
Let’s talk food. I didn’t get photos of the Ragda Chaat or the Hot Wings, but they were a strong start and the standout dishes of the night. The coconut ranch was out of this world. I wanted to put it on everything. I had the veggie curry with shrimp and garlic naan. The shrimp was cooked perfectly, and the curry was deeply comforting, expertly spiced with just a lingering, flavorful heat. My friends ordered the Methi Murgh and cheese naan and were equally impressed.
Drinks deserve their own moment here. I had the Roohafza Dhamaka, which instantly transported me to a hot day at the beach. It was incredibly refreshing, and the complex Roohafza flavors paired beautifully with the coconut. For a mocktail, it was impressive it was like a piña colada, but with way more depth.
We ended with the Masala Chai: beautiful presentation and the ultimate comfort. It was the perfect bow on an already memorable meal.
I’ve been to GupShup Manhattan and Dishoom in Edinburgh, and this is right on that level: comforting, memorable, with keen attention paid to everything and just outright delicious.
