Chef Shachi Mehra has introduced a new Indian experience to Orange County at ADYA, an authentic Indian restaurant reflecting modern India. The menu revolves around fresh, sustainable ingredients and focuses on contemporary interpretations of Indian street foods, tandoori specialties, and rich curries. ADYA blends Western and Indian cultures to create artful dishes that successfully marry tradition with modernity. The menu combines modern creative and classic Indian styles of cooking, while balancing the bounty of Southern California with the bold flavors and spices of India. Chef Shachi features Indian favorites, including Chicken Tikka and Tandoori Shrimp, but will also showcase his unique spin on the cuisine with dishes such as a Quinoa Salad with beets, oranges, avocado, and toasted coriander, and a warm Naan, stuffed with goat cheese. At the heart of the menu are Kebabs from the tandoor, Kaathi Rolls (wraps filled with potatoes, paneer, chicken or lamb), and fresh-made Curries. A lesser-seen Indian specialty that Chef Shachi focuses on is Pavs, Bombay-style Sloppy Joes, made with spiced vegetables, potatoes or lamb on kaffir lime butter-toasted bread.
