Sapphire Indian Restaurant is celebrating it’s 5th year. Adjacent to the new Jazz Center at the Time Warner Center, and close by to both the Theater District and Lincoln Center, this regional Indian masterpiece is the perfect spot to entertain and impress.
Sapphire has a pleasingly understated opulence, with ornately carved Mohgul-period wooden doors and windows, brought over from Rajastan, and embroidered panels of Jodhpur silk hung from the ceiling like small banners.
The decor of intricately hand-carved antique woodwork and collected art objects creates and exotic mood at Sapphire Indian Cuisine. Paneling divides the gracious space into cozy seating areas. The wide ranging menu provides a cook's tour of the distinctive regional cuisines of India, most notably the tropical specialties found in the fabled beach resort of Goa. The extensive menu includes the usual hit parade of samosas, curries, tandoori treats and even mulligatawny soup, but it also includes some sleepers like chutney idili, and small cake of steamed lentil and rice flour topped with coconut curry. Spicier and just as good as kadhi pakoda, another appetizer. Balls of cumin spiced lentil flour are deep-friend and served with a mustard-flavor yogurt sauce.
The wine list is unusually long for an Indian restaurant. What makes the dining experience even more special is that there is an experienced sommelier on hand to guide your choices.
