Korma Sutra has caused quite a commotion in Kansas City's restaurant world since opening its doors in March 2004. At its young age it is already popular with patrons and food critics, gleaming awards and multiple mentions from the Kansas City Star and The Pitch Weekly. Voted Best Restaurant for a Hot Date, Korma Sutra presents itself as stylish, romantic and out to win taste buds as well as hearts. Billed as Korma Sutra, Sensuous Cuisine of India, this restaurant features real fresh delectable Punjabi favorites, real Indian hospitality plus real pastel wall-art. Most telling of the energy and fine touches for which Korma Sutra is becoming famous are its sumptuous lunch buffet and its after-dinner farewell - an ornate silver finger bowl with fresh lime to squeeze over satisfied fingers.

Chef Inderjit Singh proudly points to the fact that Korma Sutra pays extra daily for totally fresh chicken and that no expense is spared to use real cream, butter and the best masala of Indian spices.

Still intriguing to many is how Korma Sutra got its name. In the Hindu pantheon of gods, Kama is roughly equivalent to a sort of Cupid - except he's big, hefty and undeniable. If he shoots you with an arrow you fall helplessly in love. The Kama Sutra is a sutra (text) written to teach love arts, to maximize pleasures and sensations - yet its ultimate goal eventually is to get you to move towards god-consciousness, not to be a hopeless sensation addict... hmmm...

Korma is a creamy sauce. So you might say that the entire restaurant of Korma Sutra is a lovely cook book about sauce, and one that appreciates a juicy pun. (If you like the name you might send good thoughts to Ms. Catto's Poetry of the Market Place students at the Kansas City Art Institute. Finding dynamic names for restaurants was one of their projects!)
