Restaurant At Former Picket Fence Space Will Soon Open

For those of you who have been waiting patiently to find out what the new restaurant at the old Picket Fence site (1310 Cortelyou Road) will be like, it looks like you won’t have to wonder much longer!

While passing by the site last night, we stopped to speak with one of the workers – and he told us the new eatery will be opening within a week.

Picket Fence closed at the end of October, and employees told us the new restaurant will be very similar to the owner’s other Indian restaurant, Asya, in Brooklyn Heights. And, if the food is anything like the tikka masala that Picket Fence was handing out during Cortelyou at Twilight, we’re super excited.

When we spoke to employees at Picket Fence during Cortelyou at Twilight, they gave us a menu from Asya, which shows entrée prices ranging from $22 for the rack of lamb to $12 for such dishes as the saag paneer, malai kofta, chana masala, and more. For $14, you can get such dishes as tikka masala and tandoori chicken. Appetizers range from $14 (a combination platter for two that includes chicken tikka, chicken malai kebab, fish tikka, and more) to $6 for lentil, chicken, or tomato basil soup. You can Asya’s entire menu here.

We’ve reached out to the owner, who also owned Picket Fence, and we’ll let you know if he tells us anything more about the impending grand opening!
