The quick-serve spot comes via Chef Vamshi Adi (above left), who opened Ishq at 202 Avenue A last year (and later a Bib Gourmand recipient) and Gazba at 179 Essex St. just below Houston before that.
Here, he's joined by co-owner Neel Mittal. They're keeping the focus tight: freshly made kebabs (with halal meats and vegan options), a few sides, and some classic Indian drinks like mango lassi and chai.
Hours: Tuesday through Sunday, from noon to 10:30 p.m. Delivery will also be available via the usual apps. Find the website here.
This is the latest quick-serve concept for the space (RIP Seasoned Vegan Real Quick, among others) since the Stage, the 35-year-old lunch counter, closed in March 2016 following an ongoing legal/eviction battle with landlord Icon Realty.
