Adda

Indian restaurants often become neighborhood staples, especially in areas where quick bites and full meals coexist. Adda fits that mold on 1st Avenue, where the mix of students, commuters, and locals keeps the sidewalks lively at all hours.

The address—107 1st Ave New York, NY 10003—places it steps from the East Village’s busier corridors. Lunch and dinner crowds overlap here, drawn by the promise of fast service without the usual trade-offs. Solo diners slip in and out just as easily, while groups linger over cocktails and comfort food.

Beer and hard liquor round out the menu, turning a simple meal into something more leisurely. The phone number, 212-477-1110, connects directly to the staff when plans change or seating gets tight. Alcohol isn’t an afterthought; it’s part of the rhythm that keeps regulars returning.

For directions, the map at this link pinpoints the entrance. The block hums with delivery bikes and chatter, a sign that Adda isn’t just another spot—it’s where the neighborhood gathers.
