Khora Comes to Cincinnati

Tapping seasonal, locally sourced ingredients, Khora introduces a modern Midwest spin on New American cuisine.  Our grain-focused menu draws inspiration from Italy while telling a story of community and connection unique to the area.

Wagyu beef from Ohio cattle pastures, oyster mushrooms from a Kentucky farm, organic heritage grains milled just for us on a local family farm - the result is a “taste of place” unique to the region.
