Indienne is a Michelin-starred Indian restaurant that first opened in Chicago. Led by chef Sujan Sarkar, the restaurant is slated to open in New York. Indienne will open inside Henry Hall alongside two additional concepts planned by Sarkar.
Michelin-Starred Indienne is Coming to Hudson Yards’ Henry Hall
On May 28, Indienne will open at 515 West 38th Street, 2nd Floor. The restaurant was originally launched in Chicago’s River North neighborhood in 2022. The restaurant earned a Michelin star within its first year.
The new restaurant features 34 seats. The restaurant will continue its signature multi-course tasting menu experience. Guests can enjoy non-vegetarian, pescatarian, vegetarian, and vegan dishes.
The experience begins with chaat-inspired dishes before progressing into seasonal courses. Later courses will highlight layered spices, varied textures, and regional Indian influences.
There will be three nine-course tasting menus. Non-vegetarian menus will be priced at $195, while vegetarian and vegan options will cost $175. The wine program is developed by Chris Farrell. Signature and spirit-free pairing options will be available for guests.
Cocktails will focus on sustainability, using ingredients that are recycled from the kitchen, in addition to a Gin & Tonic program.
In collaboration with MAPA Mueller, the interiors will blend warmth and sophistication with textured finishes, sculptural lighting, and blush-toned seating. The artwork follows Chicago-based artist Ken Andjulis’s Holi-inspired paintings.

Chef Sujan Sarkar’s Return to New York
Chef Sujan Sarkar’s first major break in NYC’s dining scene was at the contemporary Indian gastrobar Baar Baar. It was located in the East Village and established in 2017. The gastrobar introduced modern Indian cuisine to local food enthusiasts.
He created a string of renowned restaurant ideas in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Chicago. Sarkar introduced innovative concepts, including Indienne, Swadesi, Sifr, and NADU.
Now, Sarkar is coming back to New York with a new sense of purpose and direction. “It’s always been a very special place for me in New York,” Sarkar said in a statement. “Coming back with Indienne – and introducing two new concepts alongside it – feels like both a homecoming and a new beginning. It means a lot to return to this city with a clearer vision of who I am and what I want to build.”
Henry Hall is a luxury residential tower in Hudson Yards. It features upscale amenities, modern design, and better hospitality. The property’s considerable focus on the dining aspect has established it as a lifestyle destination in Manhattan. Chef Sujan Sarkar’s new restaurant ideas will add to its culinary footprint.
Two More Concepts to Join Henry Hall
Chef Sujan Sarkar is also bringing two additional hospitality concepts to Henry Hall this summer.
Apas, a high-end cocktail bar, will be located next to Indienne. The name comes from the Sanskrit word “water.” The bar is intended to complement the restaurant as well as a place to go all on its own!
Apas will offer a global journey, featuring South Asian flavors and botanicals in a modern setup, with emphasis on balance, subtlety, and creativity.
Another concept, Elder, will be a British-Indian chophouse. The restaurant is inspired by British and Indian cuisines that have coexisted in London. It is named after elderflower, a plant associated with both British and South Asian cultures.
In the Elder’s menu, dry-aged meats, seafood, and sauces will be the main emphasis. The dishes will incorporate Indian spices and aromatics influenced by Sarkar’s upbringing in India and early years in London. The concept will also include a dedicated beverage program and tableside dessert service.
