| - This places shouts "girls night out!"- electronic music plays, it has an (overpriced) wine and cocktail menu, the food menu consists of lots of visually pleasing, international fusion-based small sharing plates, the space and decor are pretty and trendy seeming (but not "cool" at all) and unsurprisingly, the couple of times I've been here have been with lady friends of mine. I will speak of my latest experience as my first one was a while ago at this point.
My dining partner and I arrived and sat right near the front. After deliberating for a while with the drink list, we each ordered a glass of pinotage (a polarizing South African offering- both of us have parents from SA so it was a deliberate choice). It was absolutely delicious. Even though it was pricey, we each ordered another glass because we enjoyed it so much. "Dark and juicy with plenty of rich damson and baked plums, a hint of coffee on the nose and soft tannins." - definitely juicy and just so tasty!
We ordered the following dishes as nibbles to accompany our drinks:
Palak Paneer Naan Truffle Oil, JalapeƱo, Peppered Honey
Seared Scallops Thai Asparagus, Baby Shitake Mushroom, Fresh Bean Sprouts, Tagarashi
Tofu and Vegetable Thai Curry Green Curry, Broccoli, Red Pepper, Cauliflower, Shredded Coconut, Shitake Mushroom, Almonds
They were all quite delicious, with the scallops ranking as the least exciting (though still tasty) and the paneer naan being the dish that I wanted to scarf down the most (come on, paneer and naan fused together?! heaven). The reason I have given Kultura 3 stars despite speaking quite highly of the food is that it is overpriced, the atmosphere is a bit cheesy or something (the space IS beautiful though) and I found the service to be just OK both times I've been there.
