The menu changes each month, but last Friday guests were served an appetizer course consisting of fire-toasted papad (crisp lentil wafers), a mixed spring green salad tossed with the tasty house citrus vinaigrette, katchori (crisp baked round pastry with spicy sweet pea filling), an herbed fish cake with dill sauce, and sweet mango chutney. 
Three curries were served for the main course: murgh do pyaza (chicken in an onion and yogurt sauce), mirchi ka salan (green bell peppers in a sweet and sour nutty sauce), and aloo gobi mutter (cauliflower, potatoes, and sweet peas with oven-baked tomatoes and spices). Basmati rice and a basket of warm, chewy, buttery naan accompanied the curries, which were followed by hot chai and dessert.Cozy Tea’s Indian dinner is a popular event, and rightly so. You’ll need to make a reservation at least a month in advance, and if there’s no room available for the following month they’ll put you on a waiting list. The monthly dinner coincides with First Friday in Five Points, so after your meal you can enjoy a drink and live music at any of the bars and shops in the neighborhood. Don’t forget to pick up a bottle of wine next door at Riverside Liquors and Village Wine Shop; the event is BYO.
