Frequently asked questions

Can you accommodate my dietary needs?

We require 24-hour notice to accommodate any dietary requests. At Luthun, we try to make the fewest changes possible when accommodating dietary needs so that our guests may enjoy the menu as Chef Nahid originally envisioned. As our menu changes, so does our ability to accommodate certain requests. We currently do not offer vegetarian, vegan, dairy-free, seafood-free, spice-sensitive, or Halal/Kosher menus. Please reach out to info@luthun.com to inquire about any other allergies or dietary needs.

How long does the dining experience last?

We recommend budgeting 2.5 hours of your time to complete the full tasting menu. We aim to finish service within 1.75-2 hours, but depending on how busy the restaurant is it may take longer

Where are you located?

We are located on 13th st in East Village between Ave A and 1st Ave. The nearest subway station is 1st Ave with service from the L train

How far in advance can I book?

Online reservations on Resy are available up to one month in advance. For special events or specific booking inquiries beyond that timeframe, contact info@luthun.com

What kind of cuisine can I expect to be served?

We exclusively offer a 9 course tasting menu with additional wine and beverage pairing options. Our menu is frequently updated, with minute modifiactions occurring day-to-day and complete menu overhauls occurring 1-2 times a month. Chef’s cusine is not contained to any particular style, and we are dedicated to an ethos of interntationality, culinary diversity & fusion, and bold, intense flavors.

Can I bring my own wine?

Of course! you are welcome to bring your own beverages with a $75 corkage fee and a 2-bottle maximum

Are you open to suggestions and feedback?

We are VERY open to your input - both positive and negative. Since we update our menu frequently, we rely heavily on the taste of our guests to determine what we will do next. When we ask you how you enjoyed your meal at the end of the night and you have any comments or complaints, don’t feel afraid to tell us how you really feel. We are listening to you and are constantly discussing what we can do behind the scenes to make the Luthun experience the best it can be for everyone

I’m running a bit late. Can you hold my spot?

NYC traffic is unpredicatble and frustraing; we understand and will do everything we can to make sure you get the experience you are paying for. That being said, we currently have a 10 minute grace period for late arrivals. Timing is very important to ensure efficient turnover times, and beyond 10 minutes there is a chance you may forefeit the first one or two courses. Please call ahead if you are running behind and we will accommodate to the best of our ability.

Can I schedule an event at your space?

Yes! We offer full and partial-buyout options for private events. Our chef’s counter holds 10 people and the dining room 16, so the maximum number of people we can accommodate at once is 26. For quotes and inquiries, reach out to either info@luthun.com or directly to our Maitre D’ at ianausdal@luthun.com
