"Adda is where it all began for the group behind Indian restaurant hits Semma and Dhamaka. After around seven years, the casual Long Island City spot has now relocated to the East Village. The new space is bigger and the menu is longer—though favorites like their baby goat biryani are still available. If you come with a big group you can get something called a “butter chicken experience.” Your butter chicken is cooked tableside over wood of your choice, and there’s a butter chicken-inspired cocktail." - will hartman, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah, bryan kim
