Luthun, located in the East Village of New York City, is a progressive American tasting menu and tribute to founder and executive chef Nahid Ahmed’s late mother. With a constantly evolving menu, each course represents a defining destination from chef Nahid’s global travels. Believing the magic of food is the impetus for creating long-lasting memories, the culinary team works diligently to present micro-seasonal produce and international flavors in compelling surprise and delight formats. The wine program follows suit, exploring different regions and varietals in a setting that the team believes is conducive to conversation and exploration.

A testament to the richness and diversity of food and wine from all around the globe, Luthun is a collection of stories on a plate and in a glass. Whether sitting front row at the chef’s counter or in a cozy nook in the restaurant’s dining room—where Nahid's choice of old school hip-hop sets the ultimate laid-back vibe—the team is proud to present an innovative yet approachable tasting menu that emulates the same experience diners would get if chef Nahid invited them into his home.
