What People Are Saying About Junnoon

The Scene – While concrete walls, a jeweled-tone decor and 20-somethings in the lounge up the hip quotient, gold-silk fabric adds intimacy--curtaining off the dining area from the view of the street. Servers hover attentively to answer questions about the eclectic menu. – – The Food – Pappadam i a complimentary starter, and that's pretty much where the traditional dishes end. Cardoz takes Indian upscale, using familiar spices to perk up perfect cuts of meat and seafood. Clove-smoked lamb kebabs have the personality of pate and are, surprisingly, not served on a stick.…

Nice decor - shame about the food

I was very disappointing with the food it was not fresh or tasty. The place is pretentious and over rated will not repeat.

I love this place
by HollyAnnCalloway at Citysearch
I went here with a bunch of friends and we had a great time! I've never had Indian fusion like this before. The prawns with coconut mustard are to die for.
- Pros: Great food
- Cons: Noisy

The best modern Indian cuisine
by JohnnyT at Citysearch
We had been meaning to try Junnoon for quite a while and finally had a chance to celebrate.
The prawns with coconut mustard and the tandoor steak and cauliflower were all fantastic. We also ordered several naan and paratha (Indian breads) and a couple of chutneys to sample the flavors. It was an unusual and very flavorful experience.
We recommend this highly for special occasions.
- Pros: fusion dishes you can't find anywhere else
- Cons: dining room can get a little loud
