Business Description

Kebaya is a unique restaurant and bar located in the heart of New York, NY 10003, that is devoted solely to Peranakan cuisine. The restaurant is a partnership with New York-based food consultant, Margaret Goh, a second-generation Peranakan-Singaporean. The restaurant is the latest culinary concept by Mehta, one of New York's most prominent chefs and advocates for Asian food culture in New York. With Kebaya, Mehta focuses on the vibrant Peranakan food culture unique to Singapore, Malaysia, and the coastal areas of Indonesia's Java and Sumatra islands.

The restaurant and bar offer a wide variety of dishes inspired by the Nyonya, Chinese, Indian, and Malay communities. The menu is full of oft-forgotten dishes from the Chitty Peranakan, a distinctive group of Tamil people found mainly and originally in Melaka, Malaysia, and in Singapore. This community is also known as the Indian Peranakans. The dishes are characterized by their unique hybridization of ancient Chinese culture with the local cultures of the Nusantara region, the result of a centuries-long history of transculturation and interracial marriage.

The menu at Kebaya is diverse and vibrant, filled with a myriad of flavors that represent Malaysian, Singapore, and Indonesia's rich history and blend of cultures. The Ikan Bakar, Kway Chap, and Laut Prawn are some of the must-try dishes on the menu. The whole fish is another dish that shouldn't be missed, as it's tender, extremely flavorful, large enough for two people, and spicy but not "I want to die" spicy.

The bar at Kebaya is just as impressive as the restaurant, offering a wide variety of drinks that perfectly complement the food. The Girl from Ipoh is a popular drink that is smooth, easy to drink, and well-balanced. The milk punch is another drink that is worth trying.

The ambience at Kebaya is warm and welcoming, with a décor that reflects the restaurant's Peranakan theme. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to assist with recommendations. Kebaya is the perfect place to visit for a unique culinary experience that showcases the vibrant Peranakan food culture of Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia.
