Our Story
Kurry Qulture is a seasonal Indian restaurant located right in the heart of Astoria. Designed by the critically acclaimed Chef Hemant Mathur, the KQ seasonal menu masterfully blends fresh Indian and local produce delivered in a casual, trendy ambiance. Kurry Qulture brings to Queens the nostalgia of the “tandoor oven”, or the clay oven, which is a traditional staple in household kitchens across the Indian subcontinent. KQ’s tandoor oven delivers unparalleled flavor in breads and meats, refining the culinary experience of “authentic” Indian cuisine.
Pair our delectable pre-fixe menu with your selection from KQ’s signature cocktails or craft beer/wine list or allow our experienced and knowledgeable staff to curate your evening with a recommendation. Whether it be a drink at our full service bar to warm you this winter, a private dinner for two, or a gala event, Kurry Qulture’s delights await your arrival. Come home to an Indian affair.
