Elettaria in the West Village


The new West Village restaurant Elettaria may not have a good grasp on the importance of Search Engine Optimization (search for them organically on Google and you will see what I mean), but as long as they have a firm grasp on good food, I will forgive them.

Here is what Daily Candy had to say:
The first-generation Americans are doing riffs on the flavors and spices of their homelands, India (Nawab) and the Philippines (Cruz). Wild boar with cumin. Saag paneer gnocchi with cloves. Fried coconut cream with ginger mousse and tamarind sorbet.
Elettaria (Latin for “green cardamom”) was once home to 8th Wonder, a venue where Jimi Hendrix performed. It still has a clubby feeling with velvet curtains, exposed brick, and an open kitchen where the cooks are very much on stage.

Could be interesting and NYMag didn't make it sound too excessive as far as cost is concerned.
