"Queens’s loss became the East Village’s gain when this Indian canteen reemerged, still rooted in regional fare but with a glow‑up. The original butter chicken now plays out as a preorder, tableside‑cart experience, yet the heart remains: walls papered with press clippings, the original handwritten Adda sign, and homey dishes spruced up, like creamy bheja masala (goat brains) with pao and biryani stuffed with baby goat leg meat. Even as its parent group expands, the guiding principle here stays put—ever‑flavorful Indian cuisine that’s simply fun." - Melissa McCart
