A proper whiskey tasting room that explores the breadth of Indian single malts has launched inside a cozy space on Newark Avenue as House of Amrut offers a unique new nightlife destination.
The new business is situated at 136 Newark Avenue just below Brick Lane Curry House. The endeavor comes courtesy of Sati Sharma, a longtime Amrut “superfan” who is also the co-creator of the British-style Indian restaurant group that runs Brick Lane.
House of Amrut pays homage to the pioneering Indian Single Malt Whisky brand that Sharma fell in love with. After launching Brick Lane in 2002 and catapulting to the top of New York’s Indian food scene, Sharma finally visited the distillery in 2025. He discovered a myriad of Amrut Indian Single Malt Whiskies he didn’t know existed and sought to bring them to a wider audience back in the States.
The new tasting room showcases the extraordinary range of Indian single malts, including rare and hard-to-find Amrut whiskies such as Amrut Expedition and Greedy Angels. Guests can enjoy a guided tasting of limited expressions led by the Amrut team, along with authentic Indian food pairings from Brick Lane created by Chef Noor.
House of Amrut additionally features a slew of cocktails featuring many of the whiskeys and other spirits and features live jazz many nights. The intimate space has both table and bar seating, with reservations available through OpenTable.
The opening of The House of Amrut coincides with the launch of their new Kranthi Single Malt Whisky, a 40% ABV, non-chilled filtered whisky that can be enjoyed neat or in cocktails.
House of Amrut is now open Thursday through Saturday from 7:00 p.m. until 2:00 a.m., with the kitchen open for later food service. The business can be followed on Instagram at the handle @houseofamrut.
