About

East is East pairs Afghan, Persian, and Indian-influenced small plates with a Silk Route Feast that lets diners sample dishes such as vegan butter chicken, creamy mushroom and eggplant, and lentil soup. Live harp, piano, or other evening music and attentive table service make it feel suited to a special dinner, though one group review reported slow feast service and extra live-music charges.
