Karravaan

Chef Sanjay Mandhaiya's Silk Road tasting menu pairs a Lebanese fish kofte with his own butter chicken and a Thai-leaning rockfish red curry. Add the Maine lobster ravioli or a gulab jamun donut for $5 more, and the run extends a week past the official close, through September 6.

About Karravaan

Chef Sanjay Mandhaiya welcomes you to Karravaan, a culinary experience interweaving modern concepts with the rich flavors, spices and techniques from the diverse cultures along the ancient Silk Road. Timeless favorites, lost recipes, and unique combinations coalesce into an original experience that is steeped in tradition but far from traditional. The notion of taking diners on a journey is paramount at Karravaan, and it's not lost upon Mandhaiya that the restaurant is located not too from the old train tracks of Union Station. A railway motif proliferates across the restaurant, from the train-platform ceiling design to the open kitchen design meant to evoke the look of a parked train car. "At Karravaan, we're hoping to reunite people through cuisine. I want to show people that at the end of the day, we're the same people eating the same things"
