Papa’s

Papa’s is where Eleven Madison Park alumnus Hussain Shahzah trades white tablecloths for something far more alive. His tasting menu is rooted in India’s culinary landscape, but each dish takes a familiar flavour and turns it on its head. Kothu parotta, traditionally a bustling street-food staple, gets a luxe upgrade with cuttlefish, mudcrab, and salna (spice gravy). Pork presa (a premium cut between shoulder and loin) meets kachampuli, a pungent Karnataka vinegar that cuts through the richness. And nihari, the beloved slow-braised stew, is reborn as a flaky, golden pie.

Tatler Tip

The vibe is loud, sharp and effortlessly chic. This is a place where the cocktails flow and the energy never dips, so be sure to make reservations if you want seats.
