Dining room at Yuva, New York, NYBollywood fans may recognize the name from the popular film, but this spot takes its cue from the Hindi translation of its name, meaning “youth.” Along the upscale “curry row” of 58th Street, Yuva serves traditional fare with contemporary flair at its modern-styled restaurant. Chef Dhandu Ram (Bukhara Grill) takes his patrons on a savory culinary tour of India that features specialties of his homeland---the Northwest region bordering Afghanistan and Kashmir. With welcoming earthy tones and rustic-style wood trim, a first stop should be at the polished bar to indulge in a creative cocktail such as the Kama Sutra or Monsoon Wedding. Locals mix with Midtown professionals as an eager staff moves about the restaurant offering good recommendations from the savory menu such as the khasta kachori (a doughy lentil-filled dumpling topped with yogurt and sweet-and-sour sauce) or the jumbo sea scallops seasoned with ginger root, paprika and light cream. Tandoor entrées include raan (leg of lamb marinated with bay leaves and cardamom) or grilled lobster tail served with pomegranate and spicy mint dip. There are also copious dishes to share, including saag paneer (homemade cheese stir-fried in crushed garlic and simmered in spinach), as well as a serious assortment of breads and raitas.
