The owners of Gazab on Essex Street (just south of Houston) are opening an Indian restaurant here. Previous news reports about this arrival stated that the name would be Jhakaas.
However, the signage — as well as the questionnaire online at the CB3 website for a liquor license — lists the name as Ishq...
Ishq is currently hiring ...
According to the Commercial Observer, Gazab Executive Chef and founder Vamshi Adi would also run Jhakaas.
The 3,000-square-foot space was previously Kōbo by Nai, which 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.

"Jhakaas" is sadly just too close to "Jackass" to be taken seriously. Glad they had a change of mind there.
That's what I was thinking! Apologies to whichever language the name comes from. Sometimes the phonemes don't translate well.
