Passerine is a new seasonal Indian restaurant led by Michelin-starred Chef Chetan Shetty formerly of Rania in D.C. and Owners Maneesh K. Goyal and Alvina Patel Buxani. The name Passerine derives from an Indian folktale, “The Songbird and The King,” which symbolizes freedom and creativity, reflecting Chef Shetty’s perspective on Indian cuisine and his endless curiosity. “We are so happy to have a business in Flatiron NoMad, an area that has become one of New York’s most vibrant dining destinations,” says Owners Maneesh and Alvina. “With the iconic Flatiron Building and Madison Square Park as its backdrop, it’s truly a special place to be. We both live in the neighborhood with our families, and the residents and visitors here are simply wonderful—creating a warm, welcoming community that makes this area feel like the heart of NYC.” Passerine’s menu combines Indian culinary techniques with local produce from the Union Square Greenmarket and spice blends sent by Chef Shetty’s mother in the Western Indian city of Pune.

Start off your dining experience in the Drawing Room with a drink and small bites before heading to the main dining room. Highlighted dishes include Chicken Kofta topped with pickled mushroom and truffle, Grilled Oysters with ajwain masala hollandaise, Sea Bass Vadagam with Konkani curry, and Blue Corn Bhakri with brown butter.
