Coach House, 2x James Beard Award and Jean Banchet Award-nominated Chef Zubair's Mohajir’s latest venture, is a Tasting Menu experience featuring a heavy dose of South Indian flavors whilst avoiding direct tradition. Coach House is located in the rear of Lilac Tiger's street food location, on Division St.

Our 7-course Tasting Menu rotates seasonally, and is featured on Friday and Saturday nights at 5:45pm and 8:30pm; this experience gives insight into the culinary traditions that Chef Zubair was raised with, reimagined through a modern lens.

Your experience can be supplemented with one of our thoughtfully-curated wine and cocktail pairings, or you and your guests can select your sipper from our worldly wine list, elegant cocktails, and vibrant and non-alcoholic signature drinks.

The Coach House provides invariably inventive and unusual riffs on South Asian cuisine in an informal setting. We have visited several times -- some dishes remain constant, but most are new. Each dish in the tasing menu is more surprising and interesting than the last.

The food was delicious! But the service was lacking. There was a replacement chef and we weren’t notified until we got there, which was disappointing to us and also seemed to throw off the spirit and flow of the service. One of our servers was defensive when we inquired about why we were not greeted for long after we were seated. The wine pours were small and uneven; I’d recommend the cocktail pairings instead if you choose drinks. Thankfully, they did comp one of our wine pairings after we complained. Overall not what I expected for the price or reputation.

The service, style, and spirit of the Coach House were all a sincere delight, and I would go back in a heartbeat. Kind, attentive, warm, caring, and intentional all come to mind when I think about that night. Chef and his team created an experience that felt like being welcomed into someone’s home and being well taken care of by them. The food was, of course, amazing, but I have to give a special shoutout to the chai that finished the menu - I haven’t stopped talking or thinking about it.

The Coach House is an amazing experience. The food is innovative, tasty, and wonderfully presented. I have been to India 7 times and never had as good a meal as the coach House. The Chef should receive a Michelin Star for his very creative work.
