I’ve eaten at Luthun in the East Village twice now and both times were a delight! I feel that this restaurant is underrated in the NYC fine dining scene. Chef Nahid clearly takes pride in what he does. I chose to post pictures from my first visit because I liked the food slightly better that time, but both visits were special. I highly recommend booking the chefs counter.
Standout bites from this visit were the fushka (which I failed to get a picture of), the squid, and the crab porridge.
The sommelier Jahdea is also awesome.
