After first opening its doors on West 24th Street in 2010 and racking up Michelin stars in the years since, Junoon Indian restaurant has a new location nearby.
The old favorite’s new place is warmly lit above and below its marble bar, which also shares space with a line of tables and banquettes, and into the main dining room a bit farther back. Hardwood floors mirror satin-finish ceilings and one particularly cozy booth angles around like a geometric hug.
A three-course prix-fixe is $85, a seven-course chef’s tasting is $115 and à la carte menus are available as well. Small plate highlights include crispy eggplant, dahi vada or watermelon chaat, tandori octopus, goat brain toast and smoked masala ribs. Mains like mushroom and truffle khichdi, Chettinad lobster rasam and dry-aged Tellicherry duck are divided by vegetable, sea and land. Hara paratha and Junoon naan are made in-house. Wines from Junoon’s multiple award-winning previous list have returned, along with copious cocktails (including low and no-ABV options), multiple spirits for sipping and tons of teas and after-dinner drinks.
Junoon is located at 19 West 24th Street and is open Tuesday–Thursday and Sunday from 5pm-10:30pm and Friday and Saturday from 5pm-11:30pm.
