Adda moved to the East Village and became a bigger, better version of itself in the process.
Adda, the acclaimed Indian restaurant from Unapologetic Foods, has relocated from Long Island City to Manhattan’s East Village, transforming into a larger, more polished version of itself while retaining its bold, uncompromising approach to Indian cuisine. The new Adda features a show-stopping, reservation-only Butter Chicken Experience, but the reviewer finds greater rewards in adventurous dishes like baby-goat biryani and paneer khurchan. While not every dish is perfect, the restaurant’s vibrant atmosphere, inventive drinks, and commitment to authentic flavors make it a standout addition to the neighborhood’s evolving Indian food scene. The original Queens location will become a company test kitchen and catering space, as Unapologetic Foods continues to expand its influence across New York.
