Flour Trendy Pasta Bar Introduces Internationally Impressed Pastas and Cocktails to Polaris

Flour Trendy Pasta Bar opens as we speak at Polaris Style Place, within the former Brass Faucet house on the south face of the mall, and I feel it gives one of many extra attention-grabbing menus that we’ve seen shortly!

Flour is the brainchild of Yash Kishinchand, whose household operates the superb Rooh within the Brief North. Yash grew up right here in Columbus and attended the Culinary Institute of America in Napa, the place he graduated high of his class and earned a full-ride scholarship to go to the CIA in Hyde Park, New York. There he studied food enterprise and hospitality earlier than heading to Chicago (the place there’s one other location of Rooh). He helped open the Indian-inspired Sawadesi Cafe in Chicago earlier than being drawn dwelling to assist re-shape Rooh and transfer on to his personal venture: Flour!

The house has been given a colourful makeover, with brightly patterned wallpaper, cake pans on the partitions. Yash mentioned he needed to color the ceiling pink, however was overridden by the remainder of the household.

Flour’s menu is about up as a $28 prix fixe affair, with clients selecting from dough, salads, and pastas for his or her meal. There are a set of sides as properly, however in any other case it’s fairly centered.

Identical with the cocktail menu. They’ve a full bar and may make any of the classics, however the signatures are thoughtfully designed and priced at $12. Having the ability to expertise an attention-grabbing dinner plus a cocktail for $40 per particular person is fairly good these days!

That is the Meet Me For Matcha, which mixes Watershed Distillery’s 4 Peel gin, matcha, elderflower liqueur, lime, and orange. It neatly balances matcha’s grassiness with the citrus notes.

Everybody’s acquired an espresso martini these days, and Flour’s reply to the pattern is the Cafe Tiramisu Martini, constructed round Watershed vodka, chilly brew, darkish chocolate liqueur, and a mascarpone chilly foam. It’s fairly scrumptious.

It’s arduous to see, however behind it’s the Pasta Water Martini, a savory affair utilizing olive oil-washed vodka, blanc vermouth, sherry, MSG, and – sure – pasta water. The starchiness of the pasta water helps thicken the drink somewhat bit, which inserts with the extra savory and salty components.

The Dough part of the menu encompasses a pair of, properly, fried donuts. They’re pleasant begins to your meal. The primary is roofed with truffle honey and pecorino.

And the second options herb and garlic butter.

Then it’s on to salads, the place you once more have two selections. That is the home child gem.

After which the primary characteristic: the pasta programs! There are eight pasta dishes, all with inventive worldwide inspirations. There’s the Mexican-inspired I Love Elote, a French onion mac and cheese, the N’djua Noodles.

Pictured right here is the Dye Ricotta Gnocchi, topped with a blistered cherry tomato sauce and a gruyere alfredo, all drizzled with a nut-free basil pesto.

The Butter Rooster Alla Vodka is certain to be a success. It makes use of Rooh’s purple pepper and cashew makhani sauce as the bottom.

You possibly can add a handful of sides, too, like this very beneficiant plate of caramelized figs with prosciutto and burrata.

Or perhaps a plate of shoestring fries. “It’s a must to have fries,” Yash mentioned.

And the desserts should not be missed! Yash mentioned his sister, who created the decor for the restaurant, loves tiramisu and tres leches, so that they created a dessert that mixes each. It’s each bit as decadent as you might think about.

The house encompasses a central bar and a mixture of tables, with loads of pure gentle.

Beginning out, Flour is open for dinner seven days per week!
