Season Two of Rueby’s Table by Chef Rueben Asaram is here and all I have to say is WOW. I went to the first menu iteration of this residency and I was so impressed, and that was one of my favorite meals of 2024. And this season is no different. Hosted in the first floor of Kampar, this 4 course menu is served family style and is a tribute to the meals of Chef Rueby’s childhood - which resonates even more with his mom as his sous chef. This menu features Northern Indian cuisine with a thread of Mexican influence and was seriously spectacular. I cannot recommend this dining experience enough. Grab the squad & head to Chef Rueby’s residency at Kampar - Sunny’s Table - & be sure to tell ‘em PFAB sent ya! Kampar is location at: 📍611 South 7th Street Philadelphia PA 19147📍 **edit: the tostadas shown are with spaghetti squash not butternut - sorry!!!**

I checked out the downstairs area at Kampar for Chef Reuby’s residency, called Sunny’s Table. This four course chef’s tasting is $90 (with an opinion beverage pairing for an additional fee) and about two hours, and everything is served family style. This meal is Chef Reuby’s tribute to the meals of his childhood, where his family would come together and bond, surrounded by great food and love. You truly feel Chef Reuby’s connection to the flavors and the food he is serving - which is enhanced by his own mother being the sous chef for the evening. The first course, a Samosa Chaat was simply divine, and right away you can see and taste Chef Reuby’s flair and particular cooking style. The second course was a Tandoori Chicken that will actually knock your socks off - we could not stop raving about this dish. The third course is a Lamb Kebab that Chef Reuby used to make with his grandfather, Sunny, and whose skewers he still uses to this day. The lamb was so tender and unbelievably flavorful - and all the sauces really tie it all together. The final course, a Chai Tres Leches, was one of the best desserts I have had in a long time. This meal may be one of the best I have had in 2024. At the very least, I know I am going to be thinking about it for quite some time. I can’t even express how impressed I was with this pop up, and I highly encourage you to get to Sunny’s Table for a truly fantastic experience.
