LORE

Welcoming with just the right amount of buzz, Lore embodies the perfect neighborhood spot—if your neighborhood happens to be sophisticated Park Slope. This unique corner storefront at the base of a residential building delivers creative, highly enjoyable Indian-infused and American fare.
Chef Jay Kumar's food is certainly the star, but the poetic cocktail list is worth more than a cursory glance. Start things off with a fermented dosa stuffed with tender potatoes and red lentils, jazzed up with coconut chutney and spicy "gunpowder." Next, a tranche of seabream over mint yogurt may seem simple, but it bursts with flavor thanks to a sprinkling of malabar spices. Finish with a light and refreshing citrus granité to cool things down.
