Indian,Tapas/Small PlatesGrafitti is an art form. It is international, eclectic and always imbued with personal style. So when choosing a name for his humble, 18-seat eatery, chef Jehangir Mehta (formerly of Jean Georges) aptly coined this term. Graffiti is a visual memento of Jehangir’s life and the menu a culinary registry of both his Bombay upbringing and high-end New York training. His unique cookery is a subtle ménage à trois of contemporary French cuisine, Asian influences and Indian seasonings. What the Indian-influenced space lacks in size, the food compensates for in flavor: Mehta serves up dishes like anchovy seaweed tamarind pizza or green mango paneer, and small plates like foie gras raspberry crostini walnut salad, tumeric shrimp tamarind pancakes and pickled ginger scallops with candied red chili and seared flatbread. Of course, do indulge in this pastry chef's desserts, such as the hazelnut chocolate caviar cupcake, and halva with mascarpone date cream and grape braised figs.

Pleasant evening

If you dont like sharing tables with strangers, this is not the place for you. You will be sitting on top of people you dont know (unless you come with a larger group and are lucky enough to get your own table). No matter, the atmosphere is chill, as is the service. And the food is tough to beat. Try the pork buns.

What a treat!
Reviewed on Friday, 13 June 2008
Came here after our board meeting with several members, and Jehangir, the owner, impressed everyone, not only with his menu, but every attention to detail and presentation. We had almost everything on the menu, and while I took notes, it was still overwhelming. I will share my favorite dishes:
Green Mango Paneer: Spicy Cheese spread with pita/bread. This was exceptional.
Three Chesses
Prosecco Lychee Martini - Had way too many! These were the best in the city!
Chili Pork Dumplings, Grapefruit Confit - Spicy...
Asparagus Garlic Wasabi Pizza - Skeptical at first, but happy it made its way around...
Graffiti Burger, Grlic Fingerling Potatos, Chipotle Mayo - The best on the menu!!!
We had several more, but you should try these. One of the best romantic and quaint spots in the city. So glad I was brought here.

Amazing food
Reviewed on Saturday, 31 May 2008
This is an amazing little restaurant in the East Village with a very cool atmosphere. Let the chef guide you in ordering. Most of the items on the menu didn't sound appealing but everything was so tasty and so different. High recommend.

Fun mix of Indian-inspired flavors
Reviewed on Sunday, 27 April 2008
As soon as you walk into Graffiti, you feel welcomed thanks to the communal seating (only 18 seats) and friendly waitstaff. Everyone is really helpful when deciding what to eat and each dish is explained well. The dishes are all spiced well, and many have a bit of a kick to them (don't eat too big of a bite of the black pepper ice cream!). The foie gras raspberry crostini is definitely a stand-out--it's really smooth and flavorful.
Also, all bottles of wine are only $25, which is a great deal.

My Favorite!

Jehangir, the chef/owner/waitor/host is so attentive- he really makes eating out a special event. The food combinations are original and delish; the small cozy atmosphere (the restaurant only seats 18!) makes it a perfect date spot. When I went, they were having a special-- all you can drink wine for $35. Jahangir paired different wines with each of our dishes and our glass was never empty! An exceptional dining experience at an affordable price.

cool little spot
Reviewed on Friday, 19 October 2007 — Last updated: Tuesday, 22 April 2008
cool little spot this is. the food is a mix of Indian, French, and some nuevo. the place is tiny but you feel like you are part of a nice little dinner party once you get settled in. The chef will walk you through each course and explain what it is and why he created it.
Stick to his recco's and you can't go wrong.
