I am so happy that they have an SOS menu. It was great to be able to relax and know that the kitchen welcomes my dietary preference. Thank you!

It seems that nearly everything is prepared to order, and as a result if coming here you should be prepared to possibly wait longer than most restaurants for your food to be ready.
I do wish there was a way for the restaurant to communicate this to avoid problems with new customers who may be expecting quicker service.

Amazing food. Home made dishes w fresh spices!! Taste and quality food are incredible. If you’re in a hurry this is not the place.
Very well worth the wait as dishes are served. Will definitely be back.

There was only 1 person who was taking the order, cooking and serving. The food was cold by the time she was able to bring it to the table. We were the only table and it was not cheap at all for what you were getting

I’ve attended an event at this restaurant twice now, and both times the food was absolutely superb. Every dish was bursting with flavor—so fresh, so vibrant, and perfectly seasoned. Hands down, this is the best vegan Thai spot in NYC.

I had the steamed dumplings, summer rolls, drunken linguine, and massaman curry—each one better than the last. The variety of flavors and textures was incredible, and everything tasted like it was made with so much care and quality ingredients.

I’m already looking forward to being in the area again just so I can stop in and enjoy another meal. You won’t regret eating here—a must-visit for any food lover, vegan or not.

Found this place wandering and looking for something quick and easy Thai—even better to learn upon arrival that it was all vegan! Amazingly good quality papaya salad and pad see eew. The music was lovely too and the decor was lovely. The server was awesome. Gave us complimentary cool ginger tea!

Chakra is such a peaceful gem. The food is vibrant and thoughtfully prepared, I loved the curry and the fresh spring rolls, which were so fresh and flavorful. I really appreciate their slow food philosophy; it reminds me of how we eat in Italy, with care and intention. The back garden is magical and makes you forget you’re in NYC. A perfect spot to slow down and truly enjoy a nourishing meal.

Best best best place ever in general but especially if you have any dietary restrictions or allergies. The food is always so yummy and never lacking even with so many things I request to leave out (gluten, oil sometimes salt, sometimes vinegar, etc). Also so kind. My favorite is the pumpkin hummus!! I’m even doing my bachelorette party dinner here!

Had a lovely little dinner date here a few nights ago. We loved this hidden gem so cute inside and with real homemade vegan Thai dishes. I’m not a vegan myself, but could really appreciate how delicious this meal was without having to use any meat. Everything absolutely homemade, you can taste that they grind the spices in house Must try little Spot for Thai fans in the area

Wasn't a fan of the mountain curry. The red one was better.

The atmosphere was very calm and peaceful. It’s a vegan restaurant with swaminarayan options. The waiter was kind, but it took nearly 1.5 hours to get our food after ordering. The food was very expensive for the quantity of food we got. I personally felt it’s not worth the time or money

My heart literally sings for the woman who runs this place--She is a walking miracle and her food reflects it. Might be my favorite restaurant around
