Payal Sharma, owner and managing partner of New York City’s Baar Baar, is on a mission to change Americans’ misconceptions about Indian cuisine. The gastro bar’s menu revolves around small plates and shareables, and post-pandemic guests are embracing the experience.
Baar Baar also has an extensive list of inventive cocktails infused with Indian flavors, which are popular with the dinner crowd and during the Bollywood-style brunch on weekends, when the restaurant’s outdoor patio and indoor seats are filled with celebratory guests.
