Out of this world creative Indian cuisine. The atmosphere is perfect setting for friend, couples, and families. With a diverse bar selection you can find amazing mixed drinks and local brewed beers on tap. From Fermented Dosa to Lamb Chapli Kebab the starters are brilliant. As you make your way to the main courses the Sea Bream Ssam is so tasty, if you’re in the mood go for the seared prawns or maybe even the Mushroom Uttapam. To finish off the night they have a nice selection of desserts like cashew baklava or the ganache cake is amazing with warm chocolate sauce, rose ice cream, and cardamom salt. To top off the experience the staff are warm welcoming and very kind! Come on by, right on 7th Avenue in the heart of Park Slope, Brooklyn NY!
If you haven’t been here, youre missing out on culinary experience! The ambience is cozy, intimate and feels just right.Food- i cant describe how amazing and delicious the food is! Its just phenomenal. We had the kimchi uttappam and the full story and both were 10/10. Never had uttapam as such.I’ve never seen a chef humble and nice as Jay Kumar. He was repeatedly engaging with the customers and was so pleasant.The servers as well. They were all amazing! Made us feel very welcome!I would come here over and over again!
Mediocre food and extremely uncomfortable bar stools.

Just go and experience it. There is nothing more that I can add to the great reviews this place has already gotten. Ok, maybe I will. Amazing drinks, unbelievable service, spot on ambience and the fooood… the flavors…wow!!! The entire experience was fabulous. If you want to see the magic happen, sit at the bar on a bar-stool next to the kitchen and just watch..and then thank me for recommending that place. You are welcome!!

We have been here twice and it got better each time. Second time for a private event that was INCREDIBLY done. Chef Jay was so attentive and every morsel was enjoyed. If you love south Asian cuisine you will love this. If you don’t, you will still love this. It’s an imaginative and modern take that gives you flavors you should savor and applies them to your favorite foods.
Unfortunately I was disappointed by my dinner here. I was hoping for an amazing experience given the mostly rave reviews. We ordered an appetizer of the squash and steak and “rack of lamb” - the rack was only 2 pieces… it was misleading and should be renamed to lamb chops, because 2 is not a rack… It was small especially given the price. The steak was an ok portion with fries on the side, but the waitress didn’t ask how we wanted the steak cooked. We also had to ask her for steak knives.The appetizer of the squash was also laughable-it was plated in a way where the food was pushed to one side and the plate looked empty, we were quite confused as it looked like something was missing (forgot to take a pic and it was gone in 1 bite). It was also my birthday and my boyfriend had put that on the reservation, but the waitress said nothing about it, which is fine, but could’ve made the experience more special.I will say the flavors of the food were good, but for the price and overall experience, we left disappointed.

I discovered my local favorite quite some time after Jay opened this wonderful spot - since that day, Jay and thel staff have not disappointed.We enjoy all the food options - we have recommended LORE to many friends, and have held an event here .Jay keeps the menu fresh - seasonal menu changes, local favorites, unique recipes and flavors!Highly recommend LORE for all it has to offer - great food, great service, great atmosphere, and excellent staff.To our next visit!
Went for brunch and was soooo disappointed. They said they were out of mimosas and bloody Mary’s which left about 2 drinks to choose from (they don’t have the full cocktail list online at brunch). We ordered the green river and it was … just the worst cocktail I’ve ever had. It tasted like medicine. The eggs were both burnt and undercooked. The biscuits were underproved and over baked. Overall, disappointing and my hopes were so high because the whole aesthetic seemed so cute. The waitress was really nice and attentive.

Love this place. Great ingredients and preparation - they have limited items (which is a good thing) because they put a lot of care into what they do serve.
