Kebab aur Sharab, NYC

I don’t make New Year’s Resolutions, but I do try and set a few goals for myself at the top of each year, like regularly updating this blog in 2023. Another is something I’m calling “CBTPB”, or “C.B’s Trains, Planes and Boats”, which is to make a weekly excursion to a restaurant I’ve never been to before that I’ll get to by one of the listed forms of transportation. And I’m kicking things off this week with my visit to the new Kebab aur Sharab on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, which I got to on the subway, more specifically, the 1 train.

Kebab aur Sharab is the newest restaurant from Chef Salil Mehta of Laut/Singapura/Wau fame who’s partnered with Chef Dipesh Shinde, cooking for the first time in New York City after years of running the kitchens in some New Delhi’s finest restaurants. I was kindly invited to the friends & family tasting last week and was truly impressed with every dish that hit our table. While I did have a few favorites, the first three dishes you’ll see below, their entire menu is worth exploring! Here’s a look...

Andhra Chilli Chicken

“Famous” Butter Chicken

Muradabadi Dal Lentil Soup

Grilled River Prawns with Mango Chutney

Purple Yam Chaat

Kashmiri Tandoor Chicken with Kachumber

Baby Goat Dori Kebab

Nawabi Paneer Cheese Kebab

Palak Paneer Spinach with Mirch Rogan

Kerala King Fish Curry

Chicken Biryani

All this served with assorted naan, roti and paratha, no less!

There’s a noted venison dish that was unavailable the night we were there that we’ll be going back for soon.

Renowned bartender Colin Stevens, of Singlish and Jelas, is building the cocktail menu and I recommend starting with his Paan Shop, made with gin, fennel and betel nut. The spice pack is an edible bite...

There’s also a curated wine list for pairing with Indian food and punches are coming soon.

A quick look at the cozy interior, as well as the outside atrium, that will be wonderful come spring and the warm weather when they can open the windows up...

Kebab aur Sharab is open on West 72nd St. and for now, be sure to look for the logo in my first pic up top there as the name of restaurant is not up yet. Enjoy!

(And thanks to Aik Wye Ng and Mutsumi Masuda for assistance with some pics I missed.)

Exploring the Rhythms of R… Rajkumar: A Musical Journey

When it comes to Bollywood movies, few soundtracks manage to capture the hearts of music lovers as vividly as R… Rajkumar (2013). Directed by Prabhu Deva, this action-packed film isn't just remembered for its thrilling sequences but also for its vibrant and energetic music. With Pritam and Sandeep Chowta steering the music direction, the album effortlessly combined peppy dance numbers with soulful melodies, making it a staple in playlists for years.

If you're someone who appreciates revisiting musical gems, you're likely to have heard some of these tracks on Ruh Radio (1440 AM), where music meets nostalgia. Let’s dive into the unforgettable tunes that made R… Rajkumar a chartbuster.

1. “Gandi Baat” – Setting the Dance Floor on Fire

This track became an instant sensation upon release. Sung by Mika Singh and Kalpana Patowary, “Gandi Baat” blends high-octane beats with cheeky lyrics. Its catchy rhythm invites you to let loose, making it a favorite for parties and celebratory occasions. The song’s infectious energy is complemented by Prabhu Deva’s signature choreography, bringing a perfect synergy between sound and movement.

Listeners of Ruh Radio might recognize the joy of hearing “Gandi Baat” when you’re stuck in traffic – an instant mood lifter that gets your fingers tapping on the steering wheel.

2. “Saree Ke Fall Sa” – A Quirky Romance

A perfect fusion of fun and flirtation, this number captures the youthful spirit of the film’s protagonists. Sung by Antara Mitra and Nakash Aziz, “Saree Ke Fall Sa” is as playful in its lyrics as it is in its upbeat tempo. The visuals of Shahid Kapoor and Sonakshi Sinha frolicking to the lively rhythm remain etched in the minds of fans.

If you're a regular at 1440 AM, chances are you've found yourself humming this tune on a lazy afternoon, reminiscing about the carefree days of youthful romance.

3. “Mat Maari” – A Laugh Riot in Melody

“Mat Maari” is the quintessential fun number in R… Rajkumar, embodying the hilarious bickering between the lead characters. Sung by Kunal Ganjawala and Sunidhi Chauhan, the track is a rollercoaster of quirky lyrics and spirited beats. Its lighthearted essence makes it a crowd favorite, especially for those who enjoy a bit of playful banter in their music.

Tune in to Ruh Radio during the evenings, and you might just catch this song while unwinding after a long day – it’s hard not to smile when this one plays.

4. “Dhokha Dhadi” – The Soulful Love Ballad

Switching gears, “Dhokha Dhadi” brings a tender and emotional touch to the album. Arijit Singh’s soulful voice, paired with Palak Muchhal’s angelic notes, weaves a melody that tugs at the heartstrings. It’s a song that beautifully captures the bittersweet essence of love.

For those quiet moments when introspection takes over, “Dhokha Dhadi” on Ruh Radio can feel like a personal serenade, gently accompanying you through your emotions.

5. “Kaddu Katega” – High-Energy Grooves

This peppy track serves as a celebration of the desi spirit, complete with boisterous beats and unapologetically quirky lyrics. Sung by Antara Mitra and Nakash Aziz, “Kaddu Katega” is an ode to embracing life’s joys with unrestrained energy.

It’s the perfect way to kickstart your mornings on Ruh Radio. A dose of “Kaddu Katega” and you’re ready to conquer the day.

A Timeless Soundtrack

The music of R… Rajkumar remains a reflection of its time – full of zest, drama, and a pinch of whimsy. Each track is unique yet cohesive, making the album a musical journey that resonates with listeners from all walks of life.

As a loyal listener of Ruh Radio 1440 AM, you might have noticed how seamlessly these songs transport you back to the golden era of Bollywood’s unapologetically vibrant music. It’s not just about hearing the songs but reliving the emotions they evoke.

Whether you’re an avid fan of dance tracks like “Gandi Baat” or prefer soulful melodies like “Dhokha Dhadi,” Ruh Radio ensures that the magic of R… Rajkumar remains alive and well. After all, every tune has a story, and at 1440 AM, stories are meant to be cherished.

Your Guide to Indian Food in Edmonton: Top Dishes to Try at Chatkhara The Curry House

Edmonton is home to a vibrant culinary scene, and Indian cuisine holds a special place with its rich flavors, aromatic spices, and unique preparations. If you’re looking for an authentic and unforgettable experience, Chatkhara The Curry House is a must-visit destination. Our restaurant offers an array of Indian dishes that bring the taste of India to your table. Here's a guide to some of the top dishes to try when you visit.

Start with Savory Appetizers

Indian appetizers are the perfect way to begin your meal, offering a tantalizing introduction to the cuisine. At Chatkhara The Curry House, our samosas are a customer favorite. These crispy pastry pockets are filled with a savory mixture of spiced potatoes and peas, served with tangy tamarind or mint chutney. Another popular choice is our pakoras, a deep-fried snack made with vegetables or chicken coated in seasoned gram flour batter. Each bite delivers a satisfying crunch and a burst of flavors.

Classic Curries to Savor

Curry is the heart and soul of Indian cuisine, and we pride ourselves on crafting authentic and flavorful options. Butter chicken, a creamy and mildly spiced dish, is a signature favorite at Chatkhara. The tender chicken pieces simmered in a tomato-based gravy enriched with butter and cream make it an irresistible choice. For vegetarians, our palak paneer is a hit, combining cubes of fresh cottage cheese with a luscious spinach sauce.

If you’re in the mood for something with a bit more kick, try our lamb vindaloo. Originating from Goa, this spicy and tangy curry is prepared with a blend of chilies, vinegar, and traditional spices, delivering a robust and memorable taste.

Biryani: A Feast in Itself

No Indian meal is complete without a serving of biryani, a fragrant rice dish cooked with aromatic spices and your choice of protein or vegetables. At Chatkhara The Curry House, we offer chicken, lamb, and vegetarian biryani options, all made using long-grain basmati rice. Each spoonful is a delightful medley of flavors, perfect for sharing or enjoying as a meal on its own.

Tandoori Treasures

Our tandoori specialties are another highlight of the menu. Cooked in a traditional clay oven, these dishes are infused with smoky flavors and aromatic spices. The tandoori chicken, marinated in yogurt and spices, is grilled to perfection, offering a succulent and flavorful bite. For seafood lovers, our tandoori prawns are a must-try, combining the freshness of the ocean with the warmth of Indian spices.

Delightful Indian Breads

Indian breads are an essential accompaniment to any curry, and we offer a variety to suit every preference. Our butter naan is soft, fluffy, and brushed with a generous layer of butter, making it the perfect partner for rich gravies. For those who prefer a stuffed option, our garlic naan or aloo paratha (flatbread filled with spiced potatoes) are excellent choices.

Sweet Endings

End your meal on a sweet note with our selection of traditional Indian desserts. Gulab jamun, soft and syrup-soaked dumplings, is a favorite for its melt-in-your-mouth texture and sweetness. Another popular dessert is kheer, a creamy rice pudding flavored with cardamom, saffron, and nuts, offering a comforting finish to your dining experience.

The Chatkhara Experience

At Chatkhara The Curry House, we take pride in bringing authentic Indian flavors to Edmonton. Our chefs use traditional recipes and the finest ingredients to ensure every dish is a culinary delight. Whether you’re a fan of mild and creamy curries or prefer bold and spicy flavors, our menu has something for everyone.
