Dhamaka

Open

Lower East Side, New York

"THE CRAB IS A MUSTTTTT. it's like the best cacio e pepe you've ever had in your life but make it crab."
"felt like I was at a restaurant that could approach Michelin star status"
Order the breads for dipping into all the sauces

Skip the butter chicken. Dhamaka serves regional Indian plates rarely seen elsewhere, like Butter Pepper Garlic Crab and Ammi's lamb chops, in a glam Essex Market hideout. The biryani alone could feed your whole table.
