Indian restaurant up next for 202 Avenue A

The East Village will soon be home to another Indian dining option.

The owners of Gazab on Essex Street (just south of Houston) are opening a new venture called Jhakaas at 202 Avenue A between 12th Street and 13th Street. 

According to the Commercial Observer, Gazab Executive Chef and founder Vamshi Adi will also be running Jhakaas. 

The 3,000-square-foot space hadn't been on the market for very long: Kōbo by Nai quietly closed in the spring after arriving in late 2022. 

The address, 202 Avenue A, which has a tragic past, received a horizontal and vertical enlargement several years back, adding two floors to the building.

Big add! Gazab is one of the more underrated Indian restaurants in NY so glad to see they have another outpost opening in the EV.

Walking down the street while looking at the prices at the local restaurants, I wonder how they have the nuts to jack up everything at about 25% since covid while serving the same average fare from 2019.
