Indienne opens in New York with three 9-course menus

Chef Sujan Sarkar is bringing his Michelin-starred Chicago restaurant Indienne to New York, adding a tasting-menu Indian restaurant to the growing dining lineup in Hudson Yards. Time Out New York reported on May 14 that the restaurant will open at Henry Hall, a residential building at 515 West 38th Street, and will be part of a three-concept project led by Sarkar. The New York version is set to serve three nine-course menus — non-vegetarian, vegetarian and vegan — mirroring the structure of the Chicago original. Indienne’s website lists the Manhattan opening for summer 2026, though the restaurant has not yet announced a specific launch date. ### Where exactly is Indienne opening in New York? Henry Hall is the project’s address, placing Indienne on West 38th Street near 10th Avenue in Hudson Yards. Time Out said Sarkar is opening Indienne there alongside two other concepts, a British-Indian chophouse called Elder and a cocktail bar called Apas. Eater New York also reported the three venues are part of Sarkar’s return to the city, where he previously made his name with Baar Baar in the East Village. (timeout.com) Hudson Yards has become a key detail of the rollout because the three projects are being developed together rather than as standalone sites across the city. That makes Indienne the first piece of a broader New York expansion tied to one building and one operator group under Sarkar’s direction, according to the reports. (timeout.com) ### What will diners actually be served? Three nine-course tasting menus are the core of the New York format, according to Time Out’s report. The menus are divided into non-vegetarian, vegetarian and vegan options, a structure that matches the Chicago restaurant’s approach to service. The Michelin Guide’s listing for the Chicago restaurant describes Indienne as a modern Indian tasting-menu restaurant where vegan, vegetarian and non-vegetarian menus present Indian flavors with French technique. (timeout.com) Indienne’s Chicago site says those menus change seasonally and are designed for diners across several dietary preferences, including those who eat all proteins. ### Why is the Chicago restaurant part of the story? Indienne’s Chicago location won its first Michelin star in 2023, according to the restaurant’s website, and the Michelin Guide currently lists the restaurant in Chicago. That Michelin recognition is central to the New York opening because the Manhattan project is being presented as an expansion of the existing concept rather than a new restaurant with a different name. (guide.michelin.com) Sarkar is the chef attached to both locations. Indienne’s website says he is from Kolkata and built his cooking career through Michelin-starred kitchens in London before developing restaurants in the United States. Eater described him as returning to New York with a Chicago hit after building out his restaurant presence in other cities. ### What is known about the New York dining room? (indiennechicago.com) Time Out reported that the New York restaurant is planned as an intimate tasting-menu space, and another local report said the dining room will have 34 seats. That seating figure has not been detailed on Indienne’s own website, but it has appeared in coverage of the Henry Hall project. (indiennechicago.com) A small room would fit the service model already associated with the Chicago restaurant, where the emphasis is on multi-course menus rather than a broad à la carte format. The available reporting has focused more on the menu structure and the three-concept rollout than on interior design or reservation timing. ### When will it open, and what comes next? (timeout.com) Summer 2026 is the only opening window posted on Indienne’s website for the New York location. Time Out’s May 14 report also placed the opening in the summer and said Sarkar’s other two Henry Hall projects, Elder and Apas, are part of the same rollout. No specific opening date, menu price or reservation release date was posted in the materials reviewed. (guide.michelin.com) The next concrete milestone is the restaurant’s opening at Henry Hall in Hudson Yards, followed by the planned launches of Elder and Apas later in 2026, according to the published reports.
