We're thrilled to announce a super-special Summer Picnic Brunch — on Sunday, Sept. 4, 2022, at 1pm at McCarren Park in Williamsburg, Brooklyn!
sept 4 menu
Sweet Potato Chaat
A sweet-tangy hors d'oeuvre that comes from roadside stalls and carts across India, Pakistan, Nepal and Bangladesh. Golden-fried sweet potato tossed with cool yogurt, pomegranate, beetroot, radish, carrot, tamarind drizzle and mint chutney.
Chicken Karahi*
The mountainous Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan, from which Karahi originates, is adjacent to Afghanistan and home of the Khyber Pass, part of the ancient Silk Road and a vital trade and military route between Central Asia and the Indian subcontinent. Karahi (or kadai) would originally be prepared outdoors on an open flame and takes its name from the wok-like pan it is cooked in. It is distinguished by its tomato base and fragrant spices, and is finished with cilantro, green chili peppers, and slivers of ginger.
*Vegetarian Beyond option available upon request
Lauki ka Halwa
A light, sweet, and tart dessert made with grated bottle gourd and (Lactaid) milk, flavored with cardamom, and garnished with almonds, pistachios and pomegranate seeds.
Kashmiri Chai
Pink gunpowder tea with (Lactaid) milk, star anise, and cardamom, served hot.
The picnic is a great opportunity to try out Pakistani cuisine and engage in conversation with fellow New Yorkers. It is a shared community experience whether you attend on your own or with friends--we will be sure to introduce everyone to each other and to facilitate a conversation.
To cover costs, the picnic will be $35 per person, payable via Venmo to @rubyskitchen. If you would like to attend but are not able to pay this amount, please send us an email at waqas@isometricstudio.com.
COVID Protocol
The food will be served buffet style, and you're welcome to serve yourself. Hand sanitizer will be available. As we will be outdoors, masks will be optional. Please contact us if you have any additional COVID-safety related requests.
