The restaurant, headed by up by chef Chintan Pandya, is located in the somewhat transportation-challenged neighborhood of Long Island City in Queens. What makes it stand out is that Pandya doesn't try too hard. Instead, he focuses on packing flavor (and often a lot of heat) into every single dish, while cooking Indian dishes that don't often bless menus. Offal also makes an appearance on the menu in the form of gingery chicken livers (tawa kaleji) and fiery goat brains (bheja fry). The menu is meaty, and soars where it comes to dishes like goat biryani and tender tandoori poussin.
But vegetarians can look forward to dishes like lotus root kofta, which is made with house-made paneer and arrives floating in an impossibly creamy fenugreek and tomato base that you'll want to wipe up with cheese-stuffed naan.
What’s your Adda?


Adda, meaning 'a place where people hang out,” is the new restaurant from critically acclaimed artisanal Indian restaurant Rahi owner Roni Mazumdar and Executive Chef Chintan Pandya. Adda holds up to its name with its bright, casual atmosphere; collage wall of Indian newspaper covers; and rustic, 'unapologetically' authentic Indian food.

We at Adda believe that food is a conversation of life and want to recreate that dialogue through our ingredient-focused menu. By evoking hints of their own nostalgia, Roni and Chef Chintan have created traditional dishes the way they're meant to be cooked: with a variety of herbs and spices made in-house while staying true to India. It’s unpretentious—think junglee maas, paneer tikka, and masaledar lipatwan murgh. Come with your spice-appreciating friends, and join us for a sensational feast!
