About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Neighborhood gem
Coach House, 2x James Beard Award and Jean Banchet Award-nominated Chef Zubair's Mohajir’s latest venture, is a Tasting Menu experience featuring a heavy dose of South Indian flavors whilst avoiding direct tradition. Coach House is located in the rear of Lilac Tiger's street food location, on Division St.

Our 7-course Tasting Menu rotates seasonally, and is featured on Friday and Saturday nights at 5:45pm and 8:30pm; this experience gives insight into the culinary traditions that Chef Zubair was raised with, reimagined through a modern lens.

Your experience can be supplemented with one of our thoughtfully-curated wine and cocktail pairings, or you and your guests can select your sipper from our worldly wine list, elegant cocktails, and vibrant and non-alcoholic signature drinks.

    We did the 7 course table menu with one wine/cocktail pairing. Food Loved every single course! The Gucci Musallam Faraa is one of the best dishes I've had in the last few years. The spice and heat level was perfect, the morels were earthy and amazing, and the rice gnocchi/dumplings rounded it out. The black cod with Moilee Sabayon was another standout as again the spice/heat level was perfect and the cod was melt in your mouth good. The Duck Numidian was a perfect way to end as it was a fatty cumin/fenugreek/coriander bomb in all the right ways. The Halo Halo was a fantastic dessert as it hit all of the flavor notes of sweet and savory, creamy and fruity. All of the other dishes were great as well and it says something that the NY Strip, which was excellent, was my least favorite dish. Wine/Cocktail The wines/cocktails on their own would have deserved a 5/5, especially The Finale (scotch, noyaux, chamomile, seville orange, vanilla) and R.López de Heredia Gravonia, 2016. But they paired perfectly with each course, with the cocktail pairings being even better than the wines, granted the steak with the Vignerons Les Matheny Arbois Rouge Trousseau, 2021 was outstanding. This could be the best pairing I've ever had. Truly. Service Phenomenal as all of the staff were friendly and knowledgeable, with special shout out to the sommelier and executive chef. Overall, I would say the tasting menu at this price point is one of the best in the city, and paired with the wine/cocktail just made it even better. I will be going here again, and again, and again.

    Seats at the counter provided a truly one of a kind experience, allowing a front row view to the creation of each course as well as open dialog with chef and his team. The service was top notch and the meal is not one I will forget anytime soon.

    The food was incredible. Every dish was different and surprising. My spouse is vegetarian and was blown away by the veggie options. The best baklava I’ve ever had. They change the menu every quarter so we’ll definitely be back!!

    What a treat to dine at a restaurant where the chefs and front of house staff are passionate about what they do and eager to share their enthusiasm - and delicious creations - with you. Perfect night out.

    We had dinner and wine pairings for 4. Compared to prior visits, the courses were of varying quality - some of the courses were flavorful and memorable, while some missed the mark. Similarly, the first and last wine pairings were terrific, as was the melon-infused cocktail, while the intervening wine pairings fell flat. The orange wine in particular should be permanently retired. Chef spoke for only a minute this time, while in the past he shared more of his personal life story and journey, including more about each course. All in all, Chef has enormous talent but did not lean in with as much passion as we have enjoyed in the past.
