James Beard Finalist Sujan Sarkar Takes a Simple Route With New Indian Restaurant
Briefly

Chef Sujan Sarkar is launching Nadu, a new restaurant in Lincoln Park that aims to offer a more casual take on Indian cuisine after his success with the Michelin-starred Indienne. The new concept will highlight 'regional Indian' cuisine, emphasizing traditional ingredients and cooking methods while maintaining simplicity in dishes. Sarkar intends to provide a genuine dining experience reflective of his extensive travels across India, advocating for an authentic approach without altering classic recipes.
With Nadu, Sarkar once more aims to disrupt the conversation. The new restaurant's tagline is 'regional Indian,' and Sarkar clarifies the cuisine will be unapologetically simple with a focus on traditional ingredients and cooking techniques.
Diners will still have silverware - they won't be required to use their hands to eat as they do in many parts of India. But perhaps Sarkar will supply them with a traditional wooden spoon or another trinket seldom seen in America to make the meal mimic the Indian experience.
