Dhamaka Reservations

Pandya won the James Beard Award for Best Chef New York State for the cooking he does here. Dhamaka is built around the forgotten side of India: provincial dishes from Bihar, Nagaland, Meghalaya, and Kashmir that rarely appear on restaurant menus anywhere, including in India. Gurda kapoora, champaran mutton, Rajasthani rabbit. The menu changes as Pandya and Mazumdar continue traveling India to find what's disappearing. Located at Essex Market on the Lower East Side. DoorDash drops at 9 AM, 7 days out.
