Chakra explores the interplay between Thai and Indian culinary traditions that has produced a gastronomic symphony which delights the senses and reflects the historical connections between these two regions.

Lesser known in the world of Thai cuisine are the dishes with direct Indian influence that began to emerge within the culture centuries ago. While Indian influence in Thailand began during the 3rd century B.C. with the arrival of Buddhism, the apex of culinary influence occurred starting in the late 13th century during the Sukhothai period. During that time the spice trade flourished and the Thai royal court hosted Indian expertise of multiple disciplines including the culinary arts. Our Thai curry dishes at Chakra are iterations on recipes that were developed during that time period hundreds of years ago. We invite you to enjoy the warm melody of spices our dishes offer, in our tranquil dining atmosphere featuring meditative music and warm, melo lighting.

    Disappointed in the ambiance-much different than the web page pics. Food was average. Not asked about spice level for the food, whether we wanted brown rice or white. No contact w the original server after food was dropped off. Will not return.

    We loved our experience at Chakra! The food is great. We had the dumplings, tom kha soup, green curry, papaya and mango salad and fried rice. They make a few different types of dumplings including a Jain version. Definitely the only place in New York that offers this! The dining room has a meditative vibe with warm lighting and soft traditional Thai music. I'm looking forward to trying more items on the menu and coming back!
