Semma

Earning rave reviews across the board, Semma is one of the most exciting newcomers to land on the New York restaurant scene - for good reason. Helmed by Unapologetic Foods (the group behind Dhamaka and Adda), the restaurant offers a vibrant journey through Southern Indian cuisine, which is rarely seen - or tasted - outside of local communities. Dishes like banana leaf wrapped sea bass and Angus oxtail are served up in a lush, tropical space inspired by Kerala in South India.
