Chada New York

Every review that I see, whether on TikTok or Yelp, points me to this yummy-looking Indian restaurant.

The ambiance mixes sleek materials (peacock-green walls, gold accents) with a warm, social design—offering both main dining space and a more intimate side area.

Its menu blends traditional Thai flavors with inventive twists—offering dishes you won’t find in a run-of-the-mill Thai spot.

Cocktails here are crafted with the food in mind (for example, a Japanese whiskey + Thai tea drink) so the beverage program enhances the meal.

It’s ideal for casual dinners, gatherings, or something a bit more special—so it works for date night, friends’ night out, or a treat.

Top dishes to try: Here are some standout menu items that diners and reviewers consistently highlight:

• Folded Dumplings – Described as “pandan-green crepes wrapped around crushed peanuts and pickled radish, topped with coconut milk.” These are cited as a signature dish and one of the reasons Chada is on the map.
• Southern Crab Curry – The owner cites this as a personal favorite and the dish that “surprises you with its depth.” It uses a Thai chili paste made in-house and offers bold flavor.
• Beef Tallow Fried Rice – A rich fried rice dish cooked in beef tallow—reported as a “popular dish.”Papaya Salad – A refreshing, vibrant appetizer to offset richer mains.
