We decided to try a new Indian restaurant. We had been going to Dawat on 58th Street for years and felt it was a little too familiar. Ada is just down the block. It's looks about the same - nice but nothing special, but the service is significantly better - friendly and attentive - although a bit slow.

The menu is traditional with a fusion of western flavors (mushrooms and herbs). We really enjoyed the "Chef's Basket" of three breads (assorted Naans and Kulchas). We followed with a "Wild Mushroom Samosa" and "Goan Barbecue Ribs". Both were excellent.

I had "Stuffed Morel Mushrooms" that were very flavorful. Chris had a whole striped bass with braised greens. We shared a "Pilau Rice" with vegetables that was absolutely wonderful. We both had Indian Beer.

In all, a very nice evening. We plan on trying some other new Indian restaurants next year.
