Brilliant food. I can identify Chintan's Biryani blindfold! Dhamaka or Adda - you can't go wrong with his iconic Biryani, if you are a Biryani lover. Don't mean to go all regional, but Mumbaikars will relate to the Biryani at both places. Christian was our server; very friendly, and welcoming. We stuck to his appetizer recommendations which included Prawn Recheado ($31 2x pieces) and Curry Leaf Crab ($41) - both absolutely flavor packed. The Prawn was on the spicier end, but you keep going back to the crustacean broth. Malvani Macchi ($42) hits the spot with that delicious coconut cream and kokum, and the Goat Biryani ($46) releases very familiar flavors that any Mumbaikar grew up with. Thanks for that Chintan! Overall, an excellent experience. Audio levels can be down a notch, and it started getting louder as the evening progressed. I just hope these guys figure out a way to make reservations easy. Adda has solid potential to be a household name. read more

the thing about adda is that their apps are better than their mains, the apps truly blew me away but the mains were disappointing, so i would say fill your plate up with a lot of first courses! the food: crab & prawns were my favorite for their savory and complex flavors. the paneer was a little on the blander side. mains we got the chicken mappas and goat biryani, the mappas was good but nothing special and the biryani potion was quite large! the space: bigger than you'd expect with a large back room. the service: good! read more

Adda Restaurant is wonderful looking with fixtures made from natural materials and I actually loved the decor of the...restroom! And the service was stupendous! Between having custom made dishes right in front of you to our extremely knowledgeable and wonderful server, Adda gets an A+ on ambiance and decor. Now with regards to the food, I felt that more choices should have been available. Me, my daughter, Muff and my sister, Luch ordered the Prawn Recheado, Lamb Parcha, Nagaland Pork Fry and a dish made tableside. The prawns were HUGE! Seriously, a person could have eaten just one Prawn and some rice and they would have been completely satisfied with their meal. Additionally, the lamb in the Lamb Parcha was delicious and succulent. Served with little fluffy bread slices, they were quite tasty. With regards to the Nagaland pork dish, I was significantly warned about the spiciness of the dish and I didn't have a problem with the level of spiciness. I had a problem with the variety of spices used in the dish. (I know that folks are going to question that assertion, especially in an Indian restaurant, but hear me. ) Everything came out overwhelming vinegery and tart. I tasted the heat and sourness in the dish and not much else. I was disappointed with the dish and the overall lack of selections. I'll definitely try the restaurant again, but next time we're going for Butter Chicken Experience. read more

Amazing all around experience. Managed to snag a Sunday reservation using the "notify me" option on Resy. Had a drink at the bar prior to being seated the Samurai's Patiala (old fashioned) was top tier. For food we started with the Jackfruit Lukmi, Bhatti di murgh, prawn reachado. Each of these dishes were delicious and we'd order again. For entrees, (and we overdid it) we ordered the lamb shank korma and the wagyu bihari kebab. The lamb korma was so tender and the sauce was amazing. The bihari kebab was likewise super moist, juicy and had the right amount of heat. Overall a fantastic meal and would highly recommend. Service was also top tier! read more

Was hearing about this Butter Chicken experience all over IG , so decided to check it out. Come to find out , that's a separate reservation and they only do 2 of those per night. It's okay , it happens and false advertising. But no Butter Chicken on the menu was crazy , only way to get butter chicken is through the experience blew my mind , I was over this place. I took a friend for her bday and she loves butter chicken, this was truly mind blowing. Indian Restaurant not serving butter chicken ?! We tried other dishes the food was great , on the spicier side. Highlight was the dessert sad to say. The kulfi were amazing. read more

Adda delivers one of the more refined Indian dining experiences in NYC without losing the bold flavors that make Indian food so memorable. The service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming throughout the meal. One of the highlights was the tableside chaat service, which added a fun, interactive touch while showcasing fresh, vibrant flavors. The food was solid across the board. Adda strikes a decent balance between elevated dining and comforting regional Indian cuisine. read more

Snagged a reservation here during Fourth of July weekend and it did not disappoint! The food was insanely delicious, we had the curry leaf crab and the paneer - both 10/10. They also had different chutneys for us to try (which were good but not great), and a surprise dessert from the chef (also a 10/10). Would definitely come back to try more on the menu or their butter chicken experience ! read more

I love what this restaurant and the group as a whole are trying to do, and I love that Indian food is getting more of a spotlight in New York. Unfortunately, I didn't love my experience here. Chutney Trio - cool concept. These are basically three shot sized drinks paired with some achaar on papad. The tamarind chutney is paired with a light and clarified-tasting drink, the mango gets a more intense and almost smoky drink, and the onion gets a boozy and slightly bitter drink. The first two pairings worked very well, especially the mango. The onion didn't land as perfectly, but wasn't bad. It's an expensive option at $32. For my entree, I had the subz dhungar biryani. The flavors are nice, with mild spice and some veggies and paneer paired with slightly smoky rice. I was hoping for something as memorable as the discontinued morel biryani from Dhamaka, but this biryani was just fine. Unfortunately not worth the $40 price tag. I also had the dal on the side, which was also pretty standard ($9). After tax and tip, my meal came to $103. It was simply too expensive. If you're vegetarian, I feel the price is unjustifiable for the decent, but unmemorable dishes. It seems the vegetarian dishes are secondary to the meat ones here. It's a nice and beautifully decorated space. I walked in and was seated at the bar after a 45 minute wait. Though I wouldn't do this, instead I'd recommend trying to get a reservation for the butter chicken experience to have a better chance at a special meal. read more

Another Indian restaurant from the Unapologetic Food Group! Was so excited to try Semma and Dhamaka's sister restaurant. Apparently their old location was in LIC before they moved to East Village. Sounds like they made it a bit more elevated and expanded the menu/experience along with the move. I went with a group of 5 for a birthday. I didn't realize til I looked at the online menu that the butter chicken experience needed to be booked separately but thankfully my group wasn't too keen on it even tho I hope to try it next time! What we tried- Chaat: Not on the menu but a Chaat Wala comes around selling Kale Chaat or Aloo Chaat for $7. We got both and I surprisingly like the fried kale one more! It was good but skippable compared to the other apps. Achar: Also not on the menu but they bring a pickle cart to you and give the table 3 different types of achar (free) - date, carrot and green chili. Loved the carrot and chili one! They are quite salty/pickled but that's the point, you eat it with the other dishes Prawn Recheado: Two huuuge prawns in a delicious sauce. I have medium spice tolerance and I thought it packed a light punch! Prawns were cooked nicely and was big enough to share with the group. Definitely used the included pao to get that luscious sauwwwwce. Must order Lamb Parcha: Came in a sizzling skillet with lamb butter on top to mix. The lamb was in thin strips, thought the meat was okay but the sauce was amazing! Also used the included pao to sop up every bit of liquid gold Malvani Macchi: There was a choice between halibut and sea bass. We went with sea bass which have fillets through out. Soft, tender pieces of perfectly cooked fish with a spicy yet creamy curry. Loved this dish! Bhatti Kumbh: Saw that this was the #1 ordered app on social media and people were blown away that a vegetarian app could be so good, so my expectations were high. It was good but not as good as everyone made it seem. My table thought it was a skip but I still liked it! Good variety of mushrooms. Could maybe use a touch of salt Curry Leaf Crab: Now this is the MUST order. The presentation was great and the crab meat was plentiful in a gorgeous garlic curry sauce. My standout dish of the night Wagyu Bihari Kebab: This was amazingly tender but to me a skippable dish since the others outshone. Comes with a bihari sauce to pour on top. Thought it was alright Amrüüd: A little too sour for me but not bad Mango Lassi Champagne: Loved this drink. Also got to try my friends Goan Nuts which was sweet and good, as well as their Raita, which was good savory drink Kulfi: Loved that it's an experience where you get to pick from 3 different chocolate coatings: lemon, dark chocolate and strawberry. I went with strawberry and it was so damn good! Creamy, sweet and the perfect ending They also included a free bday dessert which had a cream top, fruity middle layer and oat bottom which was delicious too Inside of restaurant is a bit loud but it's great for groups and has a vibe inside similar to Semma in decor too. Honestly, in my top 5 for Indian food in the city. I thoroughly enjoyed the food and can't wait to try their other dishes/experiences! I will say we ordered a lot of food but it did seem on the pricier side so beware. Service was nice and attentive but nothing to write home about. There's also a gin and tonic experience where the beverage director will let you pick what botanicals for your drink and you get to make your own tonic water. Sounds great for cocktail lovers! The director wasn't in that day tho so we couldn't do it but next time! We will be back Adda xo read more

I thought the new menu would be more creative since this new location opened so I went to give it a try. But the portion for the sea bass was absurdly small for $42, it was only 6 small pieces of the filet. The biryani was also not particularly special and didn't have much gost in it either. The only dish that was really good was the braised short rib. The sauce was excellent and nicely seasoned with a little bit of spice and the short ribs fell apart with no effort which is how they should be for braising. Also, they're selling additional side dishes for $7 which sort of felt not worth it and the potato 1 I tried was just ok. I'm not sure when I'd go back again if it weren't for the short rib. read more

My friend was able to snag a reservation for us here! I arrived 5 minutes early but was seated immediately. I was excited to try this place out because I haven't really had much Indian food before. We ordered: - 1 BABY GOAT BIRYANI $46.00: I liked this a lot. Generous portion! We got side of yogurt too (sorry I don't know what's it's called). - 1 PANEER KHURCHAN $36.00: Our server said this was very popular. I liked the sauce a lot! It was kinda spicy but the yogurt helped balance it out. - 2 PARATHA $10.00: $5 for some pita is kinda overpriced in my opinion. - 1 CURRY LEAF CRAB $36.00: this was really good and one of my favorite things I ate all night. Our server said this sells out every night. Very flavorful and not spicy. - 1 Kulfi $7.50: I'm sorry but $7.50 for one tiny popsicle is criminal lol. Service was good and vibes overall were good. Prices were steep in my opinion, but I'm happy I got to experience elevated Indian food. Our server urged us to get more apps/starters but it was so much food and we both took home leftovers. read more

Butter chicken experience was cool! It is a lot of heavy food so very filling. It also comes with unlimited paratha, rice and black dal. Someone came around with the chaat options available, we tried both. One aloo chaat and one Chana chaat thing. Aloo chaat had kurkure on top and it was really good. The Chana one was basically just dry mixture. The aam sutra cocktail was amazing. Raita cocktail wasn't great. Lamb parcha app was actually my favorite. Really tender and flavorful. The tiger prawn was huge but ok. We picked the chili butter as the main butter type for butter chicken experience and you can choose a second butter for yourself. I didn't like the tomato pickly butter I picked for myself, the fenugreek butter was best and had the more traditional taste read more

Before I talk about how amazing the food was, I want to mention the AMAZING staff. Everyone was so kind, so friendly, and beyond welcoming. It has been one of the most special and enjoyable experiences I've ever had dining at a restaurant. Everyone there deserves a shoutout and it made the restaurant such a warm and cozy place to be. The vibes are so good and the decor is so cute. The food was so delicious and I would definitely go back for more. I will name just some of my favorites but the whole menu was so good. 1. Butter chicken experience (20/10) if you can snag a reservation (opens at 9 am) then it is so enjoyable. They explain all the steps, the food is made in front of you and you get to experience the whole process with choices that you make. The chef was amazing and kind and the food was so delicious. The prices were also so good because it came with unlimited daal, rice and parota. 2. Small apps are walked around and you can choose one of those for a low cost. 3. Paneer with grilled pineapple was a great way to start, grilled perfectly and the paneer is so smooth and it comes with a delicious sauce 4. Kulfi that is dipped at the table is such a refreshing way to end dinner Overall, this place is amazing and if I lived closer I would be there everyday. read more

We were fortunate enough to score a Butter Chicken Experience reservation and dined on a recent Saturday evening. Adda is a nicely appointed restaurant with a lively and inviting vibe. The service throughout our meal from the sous chef was truly impeccable. He took the time to explain each stage of the cooking process and answered our questions. I wasn't sure if the Butter Chicken Experience would be enough food, but I would say that for many it would be enough. They offered to bring more rice and bread complimentary which was nice. Lamb parcha ($25)- the lamb was tender and sliced, it was cooked in a saffron-cashew sauce and topped with lamb butter. The flatbread had a nice char. Butter chicken experience ($42 per person)- the butter chicken experience was a fun table side event. They ask what wood you'd like the chicken smoked with, what spice level you'd like, then offer you three flavored butters to cook the chicken with and then prepare the sauce and finish the chicken for you to watch. I will say that this butter chicken had a different flavor profile than most butter chicken dishes I've had in NYC. It was more spiced and flavorful. It wasn't my favorite, to be honest, but the experience was something special and worthwhile. I really enjoyed the daal and bread. I look forward to returning to Adda to try other menu items! read more

Adda was the best meal I've had in New York in a long time. We had the stewed lamb, the chicken kofta, the paneer, the bheja, the prawn, the chaat, as well as a couple drinks.

Really delicious modern Indian dishes that don't try to appease an American palette! The food is spicy, the portions are large and the service is great. The service is both fast and kind, they gave us lots of suggestions and they come around with different offerings, including chutney (free) and chaats ($5). The short rib was definitely the best item we had and I would highly recommend. I'd skip the cocktails, they're decent but overpriced in my opinion. Definitely make sure you get plenty of rice or sides for your mains! It is hard to get a reservation here but you can usually find some on Resy. read more

We picked Adda to celebrate our anniversary after eating at Semma the week before. I was running late, thank you LIRR, but they sat my husband as long as he agreed to give up the table exactly an hour and a half after our reservation time. We somehow timed ordering perfectly and the first wave of food was brought to the booth shortly after I arrived. We ordered the Curry Leaf Crab, Paneer Khurchan, and Bhatti Kumbh. I had wanted to try the Malawani Macchi but the waiter told my husband it would be too much food so he didn't order it, womp, womp. Every dish was good but not amazing. As a vegetarian, I've had amazing mushroom dishes over the years, but this one was just ok for me. The paneer itself was delicious, like buttery smooth, but the dish as a whole was actually spicier than I anticipated and the forward flavor note. I usually love Indian food because it showcases a depth of flavors. This was just spice. Reflecting back, I think that's what disappointed me and kept me from labeling any of the dishes as amazing. Maybe the tomato and onions needed to be cooked longer to allow for the layering of flavors to balance the spice? We used the rice and paratha to do it and I was irritated at how small the portions of both were for the cost. Like truly irked. Service was lovely and helpful. Water was refilled consistently and front of the house staff were lovely. Love the vibe at Adda and prefer it over the atmosphere at Semma, but Semma has Adda beat where it counts, food. read more

I had 2x of the mango spicy margs. Service was courteous though it was incredibly busy so we had to holler to get their attention a few times. The restaurant was small but very nicely decorated. Big fan! read more

Unapologetic Foods does it again. Adda is a huge hit. The space is beautiful and fun. You walk into a bunch of booths and a bar followed by several tables, the an atrium in the back with more tables and a view to the garden. This place is fun. After you order your food there's several interactive moments. The first moment is when a waitress with a tray hanging around her neck offers you two chaats. Both amazing. The next one is a push cart with chutney's and pickles. The spicy mango chutney is amazing. Everything was so delicious. The curry leaf crab, the peppercorn bone marrow, lamb parcha, sigdi prawn, lamb shank korma, bhatti kumbh, and the paneer khurchan. Yes, this was all for two people. We finished off with the popsicles dipped in chocolate and white chocolate. White chocolate was better. The food was amazing and so was the service. We'll definitely be back. Next time, we'll fast before coming. read more

While the "new and improved" Adda is a great addition to the manhattan south Asian dining scene, when compared to the original in LIC it did feel a bit overpriced and gimmicky. We appreciated the "experiences" of the walking chaatwala and the chutney cart but it felt like just trying to upsell your meal. Of the dishes we had the chutney cocktail trio was great as well as the wagyu skewers for two (big portion!) The paneer kurchan had really soft paneer but be warned it's spicier than you expect! read more

SO glad Adda has reopened, one of my favorite Indian restaurants in NYC! One of the most flavorful places in the city What we got: - Oye Khajoori- the best mocktail! Not too sweet, and great flavors - Gaal Gulabi Chal Sharabi - You can skip this one...the drink was somewhat sour/odd tasting - Na Na Na Nannari - Fruity/light, you can kind of taste the Nannari, but differs from the traditional Nannari drink - Bhatti Kumbh - SPICY and delicious - Dhaniwal Malai Gobhi - Love how they made this at the table, great presentation overall - Paneer Khurchan - Large quantity and paneer is made in house Vegetarian friendly? Yes, especially since they have a vegetarian menu now! The ambiance, service, and overall experience is great. All the staff was great and we even had a fun conversation with the chef during/after our meal. Highly recommend coming with a few friends and trying a bunch of dishes! read more

In a nutshell, the service and experience was amazing but the food fell a little short of my expectations, given that I've been to Semma. I appreciated that they dedicated one side of the menu to all the vegetarian options. The main (paneer kurchan) was disappointing flavor wise -- it gave the appearance of a Szechuan style tofu dish with a lot of oil or ghee swimming around. The parathas were really small. But what was fun was how they served the malai gobhi table side, offered three dipping sauces for the kulfi, and brought over little bowls with two types of chaat and papadum from a cart. Plus, we were there for almost 2 hours and the pacing of the food was done really well. read more

Getting a reservation here? Not easy--I'll be honest. It took effort. Their old Adda spot had a totally different vibe cuisine-wise, though you'll spot a few familiar dishes on the menu. We skipped the cocktails and, frankly, should've skipped the apps too--because we went all in on The Butter Chicken Experience. And when I say "experience," I mean don't eat all day, book an early dinner, and prepare to dive face-first into a pool of buttery brilliance. That said, lamb parcha and jackfruit lukhmi are worth a shout-out--both are packed with flavor and great openers if you must. But back to the main event: the butter chicken show. Yes, show. For the price, I was shocked at how theatrical it all was. They ask you what wood chips you want for the smoke--cute, but kind of beside the point, because the sauce is so rich and fragrant that any "subtle smokiness" is completely steamrolled. And honestly, I didn't mind. They smoke the chicken tableside, in this adorable little dome, and then the chef himself rolls up with his mini-trolley and a chic Le Creuset-style balti pan. He gives you stories, butter options, sourcing details--it's like dinner with flair and a TED Talk. Most importantly, this is not your usual boneless, overly creamy, bland-orange mess. No Ma'am. This is the real deal, where they talk about how much of the chicken you're getting, not how much sauce they're drowning it in (also, can we please retire the word "sauce"? Just saying). The whole thing is assembled tableside--gravy, rice, daal makhni, flaky parathas--it's all included and it slaps. I will 100% go back just for that butter chicken. Flavor bomb doesn't even begin to cover it. read more

I fell in love with the interior design the second I stepped over their threshold. Adda is the perfect spot for a date night or special occasion. Their elevated take on lamb kofta is a must try.

After feasting with your eyes and mouths, order up a couple of Kokum"tinis" to make the night right. read more

This one of the best meal experiences I've had in my life. I somehow managed to snag a reservation for 6 people early on a weekday. We arrived when the restaurant opened, and there was already a line of people waiting. We were seated at a large table by the kitchen which was fun to watch everything come out. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated and high end feeling. Our waitress walked us through everything from the drinks to apps, small plates and desserts. We had mostly vegetarians with a few meat eaters in the group, so I was happy to see a separate vegetarian menu to outline exactly what was in that category. We started off with the Makai Mattar Tikki and the Bhatti Da Murgh which were delicious. The Bhatti was spicy but so flavorful and well cooked. For mains we did the Sabz Biryani which was vegetarian and so, so spicy - to the point that one of the servers overheard all of us struggling and gave us some Dar to put on top of it which was the best thing we ate here, I wish I could order just a huge cup of that. We also tried the lamb shank which completely fell off the bone, as well as the chicken meatballs which were moist and flavorful. At the end of our meal the waitress asked if we were celebrating anything, and brought us out a small dessert with a candle in it to share when we said we were celebrating our pregnant friend which was so sweet. I'm happy to finally be able to say that this is one NYC restaurant that is not overhyped. The hype is very much deserved. Worth stalking Resy to get a table here for sure. read more

As a vegetarian, I thought this place was good but definitely not my favorite indian place in the city. I am not a huge mushroom person and was actually surprised my favorite dish of the night was the Bhatti Khumb! This is definitely a must here. The paneer khurchan is definitely unique - not your usual makhani or tikka masala - but it was ok. Both the entrees were also pretty spicy! I can usually handle my spice but it was definitely on the spicy side. Also, no rice or bread is included with your entree which was disappointing given the price. The chaat cart that comes around (which we had to ask for) is also $5 for a small bowl and nothing out of this world, pretty missable. Overall, a good meal but nothing extraordinary and definitely on the pricer side. read more

Wow. I feel like the Unapologetic team keeps getting better and better. We loved everything we tried here and the portion sizes were great! Here's what we tried: - Lukhmi 10/10: Wagyu beef cheek. Soo flavorful and definitely the best thing I ate - Bihari Gosht Kebab 10/10: I love Bihari kebab so that alone was great. It was served on a bed of pulao. My only complaint were the raisins and cashews but the dish was so good that it was easy to ignore! There was also a nihari sauce on top - Bhatti murgh 10/10: perfectly cooked and had a good kick! The portion size was more than expected for this one - Mawa cake 7/10: pretty good but needed a bit more ice cream on top - Pickle cart & papadum 8/10: super cute idea and tasted great but I would suggest they give you all 6 pickles to taste like a flight. It was $7 for 2 pickles or $10 for 3 but it would be nice to try a bit of them all. My favorite was the green chili and the mango The coconut and mango beer is also great! Decor was also on point and service was great. Chef Chintan was super attentive and personally came over to make sure every dish was served perfectly. Will be back to try the butter chicken experience and the other items! The experience is limited to only a few tables a night. Definitely check this place out! read more

Celebrated my birthday dinner at Adda! We had been to their LIV location a long time ago so was excited to see the new location in east village. We waited for our table even tho we had reservations as they were super busy. The ambiance is colorful and loud and service was OK! The mocktails we got were not good so they did take it back and removed it from our bill. The food has limited vegetarian dishes but we did like the paneer tikka appetizer and paneer kurchan - both were so flavorful and paneer was so soft! The biryani was OK. For dessert we got the kulfi pops and having it dipped in the strawberry flavor was the best! They did surprise me with a small birthday dessert which was nice.

Nothing but great things to say about this new spot in town, Adda! We were able to snag a reservation in time for our NYC trip. When you first walk in, you see this beautiful arch that opens up the area to a long bar and ample seating across from it. From there, there is seating with ample space in the back of the restaurant. The kitchen is a bit open so you smell the freshness of Indian cuisine. We came with our 10 month old and they were so kind to accommodate him with a baby chair. We sat in the back of the restaurant and the food experience starts from there. They have servers who bring over Indian street snacks like chaat and papadam and achaar. All so tasty, but will be at a cost- around $5, but worth it! The drinks are uniquely made with ingredients that don't sound like they should be put together but WOW! The appetizers are enough for two people to share and the main courses are a very good portion! I cannot recommend this place enough if you're looking for Mumbai influenced Indian food. You have to try it all so make sure you go hungry! read more
