Part 2/3: What goes into the perfect chicken curry? How do I know when to add the next ingredient!? How long do I keep it on the heat?!? What should it look and smell like along the way?!?! Chef Neel answers it all in part two with Condé Nast.

When you can no longer tell the difference between the tomatoes and the onions, it’s time to add the chicken - see you then for part three. ;)

A process that takes Much Labor & Care, also known as MLC, or… Mango Lassi Champagne. 🥭🥂⁠
⁠

Who knew the vessel your dish is served in could add so much to the flavor?

It was this crispy bottom of his mom’s cooking that Chef Neel was most excited for - so rather than leaving those flavors behind in the kitchen, he wanted guests at Adda to experience them too.

Adda’s Achaar Cart, Ep. 1: Carrot. 🥕✨⁠
⁠
One of three different achaars offered on our circulating cart each night, this one is made with fresh pickled carrots and a signature spice blend for the perfect balance of crunch, gentle sweetness, and tangy spice.⁠
⁠
It pairs with our Mirchi Ka Maas because the crunch of the carrots contrasts well with the “melt in your mouth” feeling from the meat. ⁠

If Chef Neel could put his childhood on a plate, you’d be served the Malvani Macchi - a dish with rich flavor, and an even richer backstory. ⁠
⁠
Shipped from Alaska, intentionally steamed in banana leaf to trap moisture, aroma, and add subtle flavor - and the most important step, delicious sauce only poured once it hits your table - to ensure it’s as hot, fresh, and flavorful as possible.⁠
⁠
See you next time for the sea bass. ;)

Our Dhaniwal Malai Gobhi is a dish that’s name does justice to the ingredients - and the ingredients are a series of layers upon layers. And until July 19th, it’s on the house (along with the Roti Air Boti!) when you checkout with Blackbird.

All our cauliflower is (literally) farm to table, brought to you straight from DuBois Farms. 🌾

The name is Mango Lassi Champagne - but those that know me well call me MLC.⁠

Roti Aur Boti - Chef’s Neel’s “labor of love.” It may be one of the most laborious dishes on the menu, but worth every second: each bite is the perfect ratio of meat to bread, elevated with the creamy chutney.⁠

The only thing we love more than an espresso martini..... is an elevated espresso martini. ⁠;)⁠

Not to get confused, we don’t actually shake the raw ingredients - but doesn’t mean you won’t be able to taste them.⁠

Adda’s Kaapi That is a beautiful blend of rich honey syrup, Scrappy’s cardamon bitters, Svol danish-style Aquavit, Indian vodka, and Forthave brown coffee spirit.⁠

In India, when someone says “Patiala” in the context of a drink, they’re usually talking about a Patiala Peg, which is an extra-large pour of whisky (roughly about 3-4 shots) - a drink that comes from the city of Patiala in Punjab. ⁠
⁠
At Adda, the Samurai’s Patiala features Japanese whiskey (the standard amount!), cognac, cardamon, and saffron.⁠

Part 1/3: Cooking Chicken Curry⁠
⁠
“There’s no point in rushing this; Indian food is a lot about patience.”⁠
⁠
Chef Neel shares his hack of how to best slow bloom spices: there’s no need to wait for your ghee to completely melt before adding in your spices; let the spices gradually release their flavors as the fat from the ghee heats up on the pan.⁠
⁠
The most important step to perfect this dish also happens early on - the onions need to be thoroughly cooked out and caramelized. ⁠
⁠
Thank you for capturing these tips and tricks Condé Nast !

A little insight into our Raita Cocktail, made of aquavit, salted cucumber, yogurt, lemon.⁠
⁠

06/15/2026

This Wagyu Bihari Kebab is all about indulgence.

Made with Imperial Wagyu ribeye from Nebraska, the beef is pounded thin, marinated, and skewered with tomatoes and onions before hitting the live fire. As the wagyu fat drips onto the flames, it creates the smoky flavor that makes this dish unforgettable.

The ribeye trimmings are then transformed into a rich beef-fat nihari, which is poured over the kebab when the dish hits your table.
