Kanyakumari is an Indian restaurant in New York, United States, and the useful context is what kind of evening it seems built to deliver. The draw is spice, layering and regional depth; at a polished mid-to-high price point, it should be judged as a polished dinner worth planning ahead for. Michelin selection gives it a credible place in the dining conversation, even without the expectation or formality of a starred meal.
