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.
