Rose chai
Vicki C.

Such a cute neighborhood spot! I wish I discovered it earlier. They have fresh chai as well as Indian inspired food available. Cozy space to chill or have a casual catchup. Even better...the chai is made with plant based milk.

Kati roll
Anitha K.

Love this cozy spot for chai! I've had their Royal chai twice now (both the hot and iced version) it's more cinnamon and saffron forward with a hint of sea salt! Delicious but I may ask for it slightly less sweet next time. I also really enjoyed the Kati roll breakfast burrito! The smoked salmon toast was great too but maybe could use some extra podi This spot is spacious and conveniently located near timeout market. The seating is cozy and would be a great place to work from. Service is also great as well and if you are seated there the chai comes in cute glassware. Will come back to try more items (the mango lassi and nimbu pani cake sounds good). Def check this spot out!

Kathirito
Altaf A.

This was a fun, fusiony place. The food menu however was not very extensive for brunch and it's more of light cafe snacks. It's a nice place with good ambiance; however seating is rather limited. We were able to find some counter seats on a Friday morning. Ordering, payment etc was somewhat unclear. They come to get your order if you're seated. And payment too, but it's hard to get their attention since they're working up front at the cafe counter. I had a ginger chai and I was happy to see they're trying to do the pour traditional style in front of you where you sit. This was seriously strong ginger and it was amazing! Food was decent but not specially amazing. We had the Kathi-rito and Avocado Bharta Toast. Ultimately, while the names are Indianized, the food was still mostly plain burrito and avocado toast. Would have liked a bit more Indian flavors in there. Couple of things did not work. The Ginger Chai was served in a glass tumbler. It was SO HOT that you couldn't actually lift the glass. They need to use mugs with a handle. I appreciated the beautiful glassware, but I still need to be able to touch it. The cloth napkin. Omg. I have NEVER seen this. I put in my lap and my pants were lined all over with this insane lint/fuzz that was hard to get off. DO NOT place the napkin on your clothes. Repeat. DO NOT place the napkin on your clothes. DO NOT.... Finally, I got a Cutting Chai.... and the menu doesn't specify how big or small it is going to be. I was staring at a 4 oz serving when they gave it to me, hahaha. Apparently, it was written in the glossary at the back what the size was, but not on the menu where you're browsing actual menu items. I want to give it 3.75, and it's rounded to 4. Would still go back to try more things on the menu!

Vanilla latte
Lauren D.

Super good coffee, I was really impressed! I ordered a vanilla latte with 50% syrup, and it was sooo good-- you can taste the quality espresso. I would definitely come back. Though it's expensive: $7.50 for my latte! Service was decently quick and there's tons of seating inside. Great little coffee shop if you're in the dumbo area!

An interesting restaurant with a little storefront ( Du-kaan) with wine and food choices that's rather unique . Quite a large airy, bright space with low key casual seating options , with tables , Long bench / day bed with cushions , floor cushions, bar seating as one of many seating choices . Heather was our friendly and cheerful wait staff making for a lovely interaction . Offered some suggestions from the menu and the neighborhood. Kathi-Rito was our pick for a light snack which very good . A roll with eggs and avocado a medley of other ingredients with a light dipping sauce . Cutting Chai was with it was excellent . Tea was particularly well made with a subtle note of Indian spices . Such eclectic restaurants are hard to come by and when they do it needs to be done right like Fontainhas.

Burritos and chips

Food/drinks: Been here enough times to try most of their chais and now their food! My favorite is the ginger chai and masala chai Atmosphere: Looooovveee this space & closes very late! Laptops are only allowed on the bar, lots of seating, some outlets, & has wifi Service: so sweet and friendly!! Price: $$ but I think worth it for their specialty drinks + atmosphere

Nimbu sherbert
Phoebe C.

Came in and said we wanted to dine in, but our orders weren't taken until after 20 minutes of waiting. We couldn't even alert the workers because they kept passing us or were busy with other people. Was a little odd but the drink we got was refreshing. Nice open atmosphere with plenty of seating. Service was meh.

Rachael M.

Great spot with a huge interior and great store section with so many nice home goods, food, and drink. Lots of chai options and area for seating indoors.

Chai
Cathy K.

Warm cozy cafe with a cute gift shop. They have really high end products from beauty to kitchen staples, which was nice. The cafe has a small array of snacks and teas. We tried 2 kinds of chai, one had oat milk. It was a unique experience, the barista prepares it in front of you and serves in an authentic little chai glass, which were on sale on the shop

Bonnie G.

Really enjoyed this new all-day Indian cafe/restaurant in Dumbo. Their breakfast roti and masala chai is off the charts! Could be the best breakfast sandwich I've had! Coming back for those and more of their unusual, flavorful dishes and homemade baked goods. A great spot to work from (there's WiFi) with comfy seating, tons of light, and fragrance in the air. 5 stars!!!

Iced chai
Aleena G.

My go to Chai spot in Brooklyn! Definitely a spot to sit down and relax with friends & family. Upon entering the cafe is very welcoming and definitely gives a warm environment to sit and unwind. The iced chai is a MUST to order and the taste is very high quality and authentic. Definitely come here :)

Bun maska and cutting chai
Alan S.

The largest collection of hipster coffee shops in India can be found in Bandra West and Goa. Referencing a section of Panjim, a city in Goa once famed for its gambling and fenny that now hosts upscale vinyl bars, the name Fontainhas is an appropriate title for a chic DUMBO cafe and restaurant offering updated takes on classics from the subcontinent. The menu appears to still be limited for a quasi-soft opening, but I had a cutting chai (half cup of chai) and bun maska. Bun maska may just be a buttered bun, but this nostalgic breakfast made famous by the Parsi cafes of SoBo is more about the emotions than the flavors. I added bhujiya to my order for a bit of extra crunch. Will be back to explore the full evening menu soon as well.

Really cool spot to hang out and relax after a long day. Their chai is good quality and flavorful. Recommend getting the cutting chai if it's your first time so that way you can get a smaller portion to try out and see if you like it before committing to a larger cup. Not sure why it's called Fontainhas (maybe something Goa related?) - kind of confusing if you walked by it or came across it on Google Maps without being in the know.

East Village

Wow East Village! You have yourself a gem with Rake Wine Bar! We were waiting for our dinner…read morereservations and decided to stop in here for a pre-dinner drink and bite. I am SO glad we did. The vibe drew us in, they had great music bumpin from the outside, it looked lively and welcoming. Let me tell you- I would have skipped dinner and just stayed here all evening if it was my choice! But alas, my husband wanted a bit more to eat. But let me tell you- their knowledge of wine is PRISTINE! I can't tell you what white wine we had but they captured our tastes perfectly. We also shared a bruschetta and it was deliciouso! I love how friendly the staff was here and how unpretentious it all was. Next time we are in NYC- we will definitely make a point to come visit Rake!

My partner and I were looking for a great double date spot, so we decided to give Rake a try due to…read moreits relaxing vibe and multitude of bites we could share. First I'll start with the wine - we ended up trying all three happy hour wines (HH until 7), which the tables favorites were the white and we ended up getting a bottle to split once HH ended (but I really enjoyed the other vino verde option). It was incredibly refreshing and paired well with the many tinned fish options. As you'd expect - it's a pretty massive selection and there is bound to be a varietal and glass for any palate. It's also attached to a wine store - so it's fine to see all the bottles when peaking over. Food-wise - this is where it was hit or miss, they have a pretty extensive menu (with a whole tinned fish section!) and we ended up ordering the buratta on focaccia (buratta was excellent, focaccia was too dense for my tastes), mushroom truffle crostini (way too salty), the flatbread with sliced kielbasa (was fine), halloume (table favorite ), tinned sardines in lemon oil (delicious), tinned smoked trout (my favorite). Overall the four of us were very full at the end of the meal! The space itself felt very relaxing and rustic, and definitely got busier as the night went on (we got there at 6:50 and left around 9). The service was also fast and attentive - even for the amount of tables they were serving. Overall - I'd definitely go back again, and maybe just focus on the wine and another tinned fish selection!

Sunn’s - Banchan. Potato salad with pear and the roasted eggplant were favorites.

Lower East Side, Chinatown

Played the Opentable notification game and got a Friday night counter spot. My boyfriend and I…read moreshared: + Banchan of the day + added gochujang candied squid + Sunn's salad with chicories, sweet potato, sesame jang + Spicy tomato Tteokbokki + Ssam (beef brisket) + Sesame Crusted Mochi Cake Ssam was my favorite dish. Also loved the kimchi, cucumbers and potato salad from the banchan. Tteokbokki was a standout as well. It was more than enough food, and we even took home leftovers. Service was very friendly, and coat check was a nice touch!

I wanted to love Sunn's but overall it felt overrated…read more We ordered the banchan, chigae, bossam and tteokbokki. Starting with the positives -the banchan was solid across the board and really flavorful. That said, charging for banchan feels strange to me. Traditionally, it's complimentary, like bread at an Italian restaurant so that part didn't sit right but it was flavorful. The chigae was interesting and probably the standout dish. It had a unique flavor that reminded me of a mix between soondubu and dwenjang chigae which worked well. Unfortunately, the rest was a miss. The bossam was overly salty and didn't feel true to the dish. The tteokbokki was another disappointment -it came with cheese (which wasn't expected) and just fell flat overall. For the hype, I expected much more especially because I've eaten Korean food my whole life. The venue is small and the seats in the back are uncomfortable.
