Great hole-in-the-wall, nicely decorated. Good background music. Seating a little too tight on the veranda section which caused some problems with seating etc. Service wasn't quick at first but we liked it that way. Pacing between courses was excellent. Three of us had the Chef chooses - great choice. We were VERY full when we walked out. Starters were homemade tortillas chips with very nice guac & salsas and tasty ceviches. Courses raged from fish tacos to carnitas to beef to BBQ Mexican corn ... You get the picture - lots of good eats! Highly recommended! And SUPER gluten free friendly. A must stop for celiacs.

This was our first dinner at Adrak Yorkville it was memorable - in a good way. The service and food was outstanding, especially the after dinner drink prepared at the table. We noticed that a lot of the other diners were Southeast Asian and we take that as a sign of authentic Indian cuisine. As it's within walking distance, it will become one of our go-to restaurants.
