Hidden gem - beautiful fresh food - Edit
Thanks to reviews here we tracked down this restaurant. We ordered the Clay Pot glass noodles and the Massaman Curry. Both dishes were hot and delicious.
Read moreWe got a complimentary serve of ginger tea which could come hot or cold.
The menu was clearly labelled. Most items were also gluten free. They labelled a few items as “Not gluten free”.
Pros: Food was fresh and tasty, Lots of gluten free options , Clean and quiet

Great food in a New York City Garden - Edit
We had a wonderful Father's Day celebration at this restaurant and sat in their atmospheric garden where we dined on a fabulous meal which started off with their delicious dumplings and followed by totally great stir fried eggplant, drunken noodles and the extra special curry dish, Haw Mok. This restaurant is a favorite and I plan to return often.

Absolutely delicious! - Edit
We came here while visiting our daughter, who lives in Brooklyn. We all had an appetizer of summer rolls and a Blue Bowl and Rainbow Dragon Bowl from their Fruitarian menu for our main dishes. It was so tasty we have since recreated it at home!
Read moreFor those criticizing the slowness of the service - this is a small restaurant with a husband and wife who are literally doing everything. Including cooking your food! In such a fast-paced city, it is well worth letting time slow down and enjoy the food. If you are in a rush - go someplace else because what Chakra serves is an absolutely delicious meal!
Next time we are in NYC, we will definitely plan on eating at Chakra.

Great spot for a healthy meal! - Edit
The service was a little slow but we had the whole restaurant to ourselves so no complaints - it was basically a quiet little oasis in the middle of this noisy city.
Read moreHalf of the menu is similar to the one at May Kaidee if you’re familiar with that place, the other half is more “fruitarian” although I don’t think they define fruitarian as a diet purely based on fruit. The influence is Thai-Indian.
Nothing was overly oily or salty which is just what I hope for when I eat out. Portions could be slightly bigger. I’ll be back to try more things!

Delicious and gluten-free! - Edit
As a vegan, it can be challenging to find a restaurant that offers gluten-free options. Fortunately, Chakra provides a wide range of delicious dishes that cater to individuals who must avoid gluten. The menu is diverse, and the sauces are incredibly flavorful, while still staying true to traditional Thai tastes. Furthermore, the portion sizes are generous, and the service is exceptional! I highly recommend this restaurant!
Read morePros: Generous portions, Gluten-free, Varied menu

Amazing :) - Edit
Wow I never realized that the owner of this spot is actually the same as May kaydee 😆 they are so low key, never even realize that
Read moreWow I taste Thai Basil😄this is the only raw sushi use Thai Basil😄I love it
This spot is different than the May kaydee spot, they actually have fruitarian options, without five element (onion, scallion, garlic, chives, etc) dishes, they have quinoa which is not very traditional Thai style

Cozy, charming, top notch! - Edit
This place offer Thai, Jain, and Fruitarian vegan food. It is small, with elegant atmosphere. The person who waited on me seemed to be also the chef. I had a fruitarian Sunshine Bowl--which included not only fruit, bu also rice, chickpeas, nuts, seeds, and cucumber. It was simply yet fresh, healthy, and utterly delicious. I will definitely return!
Read morePros: Delicious, healthy, elegant 🏆🏆🏆
Cons: Not for those in a rush, not wheelchair accessible, I wish its opened for lunch!

Fantastic Food and Owners - Edit
This place is phenomenal! I had them cater for our production and the owner was incredibly accommodating and understanding.
Read moreThe food is also absolutely delicious! Everyone in our group enjoyed it and I seriously couldn’t have asked for a better catered spot that is accommodating to several food restrictions: it’s vegan, gluten free, nut free. I highly recommend them!
I recommend the noodles and the spring rolls.
