Swooning in my kitchen, overcome by decadence, I swear the clutter briefly ceased to exist.Your Request Originates from an Undeclared Automated Tool In a stolen solo moment one recent Friday night, I sipped a Shadow Man - gin, Chartreuse, lemon, Sirop de Canne, and Clement Creole Shrubb - while savoring a spoonful of silky miso caramel pot de creme, the herbaceous tartness of the cocktail cutting through the velvety burnt caramel flavor. (They also sell heat-at-home meals including frozen tubs of succulent fish chowder, curry, or gumbo, depending on the week.) And in a sign of more social times ahead, the couple plans to launch a long-delayed new business in June: a cocktail lounge called Honey Baby, across the street from The Tasty.Īnd those enchanted cocktails? They’re mixed to go, too, in glass apothecary bottles with string-tied paper tags that make you feel like Alice in Wonderland. And don’t overlook the signature khao na kai rice dish, an egg-topped bowl of soy-marinated chicken and Chinese sausage.Ī post shared by The Tasty Nina and Mike Peters say takeout kept the business going last year, and will remain an option as indoor dining resumes.
Gyoza, chicken wings, satay, and crab rangoon appetizers are all in the rotation, too. There is of course pad thai ($9.95), which one of my roommates, a self-described pad thai critic, vouches for as one of the best iterations of the dish in the area. The fresh spring rolls ($7.95) are bright and sizable. My go-to, the drunken noodles with crispy fried chicken ($14.95), is a rich combination of texture and spice, with stir-fried vegetables and hot basil sauce. I’d call in an order, and they’d say “10 to 15 minutes.” I’d walk over after 10, and that paper bag would always already be waiting Kor Tor Mor was a change of pace from the abundance of pizza and New American restaurants nearby, and supporting it became somewhat of a cause for me during many eerily quiet nights in Davis Square this winter, as well as on some unseasonably cold days this spring.
Overall sales have dropped around 20 percent, according to a cashier named Sara. The little room only had four tables to begin with, and indoor dining became untenable.

Pabla says patio seating is coming, and I can’t wait to be there in person.īut like most of us, Kor Tor Mor - a colloquial abbreviation of Bangkok’s full Thai name, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon - has trudged forward. It felt celebratory - like we were getting to a better place. It was warm enough to eat outside (in coats) on my tiny lawn, and we were kept toasty by stuffed naan that went well with some canned rosé I happened to have in the fridge. The other night, I treated a special companion to my favorites. That perfectly spiced chicken tikka masala is the most popular entree for delivery, he added. He and his family are thrilled to make them. Now, takeout has picked up, and more people like me are reaching out for comfort dishes. Jaswinder Pabla, a manager of the family business, said it had been difficult to get the word out that Bukhara was less than a mile away from its old digs, still making the food people loved.
Bukhara was the first restaurant that crossed my mind, and I’ve been getting my favorite chicken tikka masala, saag paneer, and aloo mutter at least twice a month since April 2020. Then COVID hit, and in lockdown, with no cooking skills, I needed takeout. Some longtime regulars assumed the place went out of business, or didn’t seek it out in its new spot.
