Thanks to Turmeric & Co., there are finally signs of life at Hunter’s Station. Taking over the former Picnic Tap space, this Indian fusion spot is the kind of place to keep in your back pocket for nights when no one wants to cook, and you have zero plans to change out of your sweatpants. But don’t mistake the come-as-you-are aesthetic as an excuse for basic dishes because the food here is anything but. Case in point: the creamy cashew korma mac and cheese, the light and bright kachkumber salad, and the vegetal saag gnudi. All are worthy plates to lure you from another 90 Day Fiancé binge on the couch. Also, Turmeric & Co has the only full-service bar in the complex, and the drinks—using things like corn milk, elote, and garam masala—are worth a visit all on their own. The barren warehouse-like space has been turned into a lush, fauna-filled escape with Bombay flair. Grabbing a table inside is fine if you’re with a few friends, but when you’re flying solo or with your better half, the bar seats are set up for quicker service because you’ll grab the staff’s attention first. Getting your food and drinks can take a while here, so don’t expect a speedy exit.
