Graffiti

I heard about Graffiti, for the first time, when they announced the roster for The Next Iron Chef 2009 season 2. I knew a few of those chefs from previous Food Network shows but I was surprised to see a NY chef whose restaurant was just a few blocks away from my apartment!

I knew a few of those chefs from previous Food Network shows but I was surprised to see a NY chef whose restaurant was just a few blocks away from my apartment! I grabbed the first chance I got to go to the place and was happily surprised with the food and the setting. I was immediately made to feel at home and as soon as I saw the wine list I was sure this was going to be my special go-to place to hang out for some time to come. A glass of wine is only 8 dollars no matter what bottle it comes from! The food is also economically priced and since the portions are small (atleast for me) I get to try out 2-3 different dishes at one time. The idea is to go there with family or friends so that you get to order for a variety of dishes.

I have read a lot of reviews about people feeling surprised that Chef Jehangir keeps trying out different ice-creams. They're probably saying that because they haven't visited Graffiti yet and tried out Chef Jehangir Mehta's inspired creations J. It is the only place where I have eaten black pepper ice-cream as desert. I really enjoy the food there for the surprise it offers. Will not recommend it to people who are not imaginative and want to stick to safe flavors and prefer not to surprise their pallets. But for those who love a little excitement and want to keep it within their budget then this is the place.-COLLAPSE (by seanmcgill, updated October 29, 2009)
