Covid19 has permanently shut many doors on our beloved neighborhood restaurants, and sadly Kurry Qulture is now amongst themGive_Me_Astoria_image_00028. The restaurant who opened its doors in 2015, was well known for their elevated take on standard Indian dishes and their unique seasonal menusGive_Me_Astoria_image_00028.

A well loved fine dining establishment in the area, Kurry Qulture has received countless rave reviews, and has even been featured in Forbes, The Michelin Guide, Best of the Borough, ABC 7, and mentioned in the Diners Choice AwardsGive_Me_Astoria_image_00028.
