The Two Hands Dinner Menu
Dinner at Two Hands launches tonight. I wouldn’t normally devote an entire post to a new restaurant’s dinner menu, but Two Hands is proving to be such a success that clearly the menu will be of tremendous interest. Two terms that were new to me: Bondas are Indian fritters; kasundi “is a rich, unctuous tomato sauce or pickle of Indian origin,” according to Wikipedia.

Good, But….
I recently went for lunch and the menu and food were good.
But, I will probably never go again. The noise in the space was deafening. I’ll waIt until Tribeca Citizen reports that sound absorption has been added and it’s safe to go again.
This is becoming an all too common issue for restaurants but this one is among the worst.
The menu wouldn’t inspire me to go there and after hearing how load it is I think I’ll pass.
Loud is what the cool kids are doing. Restaurants are either loud, or going out of business. That sweet spot of “It’s such an great happening place, but I can always walk in a get a table with a 15 minute wait” is very elusive. That said, congrats to the Odeon for maintaining that for years.
I’ve never been impressed with the other location. And I don’t get why restaurants don’t flavor the food. Kinda blah in my opinion.
They are so kid unfriendly. Need to get with the orgr and adapt like Maman and Cyrk did. Odeon is always awesome to families. Swift seating and service.
Good comments. Being kid unfriendly gives it a leg up in my mind. Of course being a long time resident (35 years) of Tribeca I am not that into the unique one of kind snowflake culture. And being old and nearing my expiration date I image living alone w/o children or family in a 2,000 sq ft loft means I should be forceable evicted to allow a family to have my space.
Agree about being kid unfriendly is a positive…
Agreed. Kid unfriendly in that location? Won’t last in current form. Currently hot destination but that buzz only lasts 6 months. Needs to be sustained by locals of which, in case they hadn’t noticed, there are a lot more of with lost of babies and toddlers. Look at Ago, Super Linda for what happens when you don’t know your market.
Menu looks unappealing also. Was told an hour and 15 wait last wknd, checked menu and decided never to eat there.
I had been excited about this place opening but went for dinner last Friday (very early, so no wait) and was disappointed in the food. Everything was oily and/or over-salted. Maybe I’ll give them another chance for lunch.
It does seem they don’t quite know who their customer base is/ should be…
