Just realized it's my 3rd time coming to this spot and never reviewed, what?! If you're looking for a unique menu with great apps and entrees, Little Drunken Chef is for you. Love the vibe, but giving 4 stars only because the music can be a little bit too loud (at least during dinner, maybe not at brunch?) Always order the halloumi fries to start! They also have a pop up Indian menu. Their entrees including the various bowls are really filling. I want to come back again to try the cocktails! read more

My partner and I was in the area for an appointment and we decided to randomly pick a restaurant. The ambiance is very cool, and clean despite seeing a crawling bug on the bar but it disappeared. We ordered the drunken margaritas which whimsically came out in a slanted glass which was a nice touch and it was a decent really good drink. For food we had the drunken nachos and the Barbacoa quesadilla. The nachos look like there's a lot but it's mostly chips and it was on a skillet which we assumed it would be hot but it was actually on the Luke warm/colder side, the chicken nachos were decent but cold 2.7/5 the barbacoa quesadilla was pretty good fresh ingredients but again the temperature thing it came out so fast I would've thought they were made to order but they both were luke warm/ cold which for us impacts the taste and experience of the food 3/5. read more

Me and my girl decided to have an impromptu girls night, but it was a little on the later side (after 9pm). We were nervous most kitchens would be shutting down so I googled what restaurants would still be open near us. We saw Little Drunken Chef was open and since we've walked passed it plenty of times on our way to O'Connors, which sits right next door, we thought why not. The food. Was. Amazing. Not only that, we received incredible service, even though we were probably one of the last customers of the evening. As a former restaurant worker I know how frustrating that can be. Everything was so great that two days later I ordered ubereats for pick up because I couldn't stop thinking about it! I was greeted by the same server from the night before who was still just as kind and helped finish my transaction. Will 1000% be back!! read more

We were out with some friends on a Friday night and had reservations at another restaurant. We arrived and it was closed, not sure what that was about but we started walking on Mamaroneck Ave to find a quick replacement! We hadn't gone far when we came upon Little Drunken Chef. Our friends were not familiar but we knew of them from their other locations, Mt Kisco and Pleasantville sister restaurants! We walked in with no reservation but they did have a few tables available at the front and we took them willingly. They immediately took our drink orders , they gave a fun signature drink menu along with wines and beers. I ordered their fig drink (a bit too sweet but it was fine) and my friend ordered a lemon drop martini. The guys got beers. All good. We ordered some empanadas and a salad.There were 3 large empanadas in the app order , plenty, and the salad was also enough for 4 pp to share! For our entrees we each got something different ...chicken malai kabob, street tacos, chicken quesadilla, and one other Indian dish, all delicious. The tacos and quesadillas were small plate the other two entrees were delicious and plentiful. All in all it was great! Service was also super friendly and we didn't feel rushed. We will be back! read more

Hi, I have a soy allergy and they cook with soybean oil so couldn't enjoy the empanadas or Indian. But they made me a salad with shrimp cooked in olive oil. So kudos to the chef for avoiding soy. Ambiance is rustic, the dangling fake flowers aren't neededin my opinion. Server was awesome with allergies. read more

Little Drunken Chef - White Plains - Bar seating - Tapas/Small Plates Near Me - White Plains, New York

A coworker and I went to try their taco Tuesday specials and I have to say we did the drinks happy hour and the all you can eat tacos. The tacos all were delicious . The drinks were ok too light and sweet for me. The service was not bad I just think the bar was too busy for them to pay attention. If I have to look and get your attention there's a problem but over it wasn't that bad. The ambiance and decor were beautiful. We will try it again because we loved the tacos. read more

The restaurant has a charming atmosphere, with a clean interior and a good number of seats. The menu is unique, offering a fusion of Mexican and Indian cuisine, making it an interesting choice for after-work meals or takeout. However, if you're planning to visit during lunch, be prepared for a potentially long wait time. A group of us went for lunch, but the service was slower than expected, so we ended up taking our food to go. I ordered the Chicken Fajita Bowl. The portion size was decent, and the food was okay, though not particularly memorable. On the plus side, they offer street parking with meters, which is convenient for some. read more

Went in for a family celebration and we really liked the unique blend of choices on their menu. Their Mexican choices along with their Indian options will cater to all palettes. We ordered the chicken haryali kebab with rice which was really creamy and very well cooked. The chicken vindaloo along with the fried calamari was excellent as well. The barbacoa Birria soup was a little under-seasoned but hearty nevertheless. The service was excellent, as an anecdote, there was a small delay for our breads and the chef whipped up an excellent curry to go with our naans and we really loved the curry - we've asked them to consider adding that curry to their menu :) read more

This restaurant is located in the heart of downtown White Plains. The owner has several other locations in Westchester. The decor inside is cool. Each table is topped with a long white candle. The wax drippings form sculpture-like creations on top of the glass candle holders. The edgy wallpaper and dark lighting give it a bit of a macabre vibe. However, they were blasting reggaeton music Saturday around 6:30pm so the ambiance was very much a melting pot, as was the menu. It was a fusion of Indian and Latin with dashes of Italian and American. I was excited to try the impossible bolognese, but they were sadly sold out so I opted for the paneer tikka masala and cocktail samosas. The samosas were very dense. Not quite as flaky as you might find at a traditional Indian restaurant, but still very tasty. I asked for the paneer to be extra spicy and it had a decent kick but wasn't too crazy. It was very rich with lots of charred flavor. It came with basmati rice and a small side salad. My mom got the aloo gobi and said the sauce was very bland. She also tried the chicken scarpariello special and enjoyed it. My sister got the goat stew and said it could've used a bit more flavor. They both enjoyed the shrimp tostada starter. It included two pieces and a generous amount of shrimp. To drink, I had the drunken margarita. Our waiter warned that it would be very strong, but it was nothing special. The fig caipirinha was a little on the sweet side, but tasty. For the check, they have a service that allows you to scan a QR code on the receipt and pay with Apple Pay, which was pretty cool and efficient. Overall, I liked this place. The staff were very attentive. Signs inside the restaurant mentioned that they have a trivia night and dancing on Friday and Saturday starting at 10:30pm so it seems like a fun place to check out for more than just the food. read more

The restaurant is marketers as a a Spanish tapas restaurant, but there's also Indian dishes on the menu. Presentation on empanadas was good, but they were dry. Wine was old - like it had been opened a while ago. Salad was really good - fresh and the steak that I added was grilled perfectly. Shrimp tostadas were ok. If I return, I'd stick with the salad and bypass the tapas. read more

Came here for the second time this year. When my friend told me she would be in White Plains, I immediately suggested this restaurant for us to go to. Music was great but not too loud, we were able to hear each other easily. I got a Caesar salad this time with grilled chicken and it was delicious. Portion size was generous and I loved it. My friend got a bowl with steak and loved it also. We got there in time for happy hour drinks and the prices were amazing. Drinks were valid; not too strong, just right. Will be back again on a weekend to try brunch next time. Bartenders, services and chef were outstanding! Restaurant is super cute and not overly crowded. read more

I was exploring spots on Mamaroneck ave and came across Little Drunken Chef. What a great find. Proud of my diligent research...thanks to Yelp!!! The spot nailed it on all cylinders. Food, service, ambiance. I went with one of the Indian dishes seeing that the owner is Indian. Was given the run down by my awesome bar tender who explained the diverse menu options. For those who know Indian food, you know what Saag is, for those of you who don't, it's a must try. It's like a creamed spinach with Indian spices. I ordered the one with chicken, but they offer it without as well. The price for this dish ($13) was a shock for me, as I'm used to seeing it for $17 or more. Side note and tip...if you want a spicy kick to your dish-ask for a side of the vindaloo sauce. The only other option for spice is Tabasco. This place is such a cool spot. I could have stayed longer just reading the walls. The art on the walls and the overall design is very unique. Can't wait to go back!!!! read more

Pretty cool spot in White Plains. Has many different food selections on the menu. The concept of mexican/indian options is unique. The tacos are really good!

I'm rating this a 6/10 - BUT I would come back. Location is pretty central - STREET PARKING. Ambiance and mood is very welcoming. It's moody and not super noisy. Music is pretty wide range from R&B, pop etc Service was pretty good. Our server was very nice and super helpful. Food, however, fell a little short. Although presentation was really nice - it wasn't fulfilling. The menu was like an international menu - Mexican, American, middle eastern inspired - very odd . But, All in all - I would TRY it a second time... read more

This a l conveniently located place to eat with mediocre food. The reason I give it a 3 and not 4 was a smell in the location that was off putting. And that was not my only time trying it out. I wouldn't go back as there are plenty other places to eat in the Ave. read more

My girlfriends since college and I were planning to get together for brunch in White Plains, where we met in school. I suggested Little Drunken Chef after seeing a couple reviews and photos on Google. We got there early afternoon on a Saturday & there wasn't a crowd. We were seated immediately & the servers were all super nice and attentive. Special s/o to floor manager Chris G and his staff. They were great! The ambiance was super cute. I would love to see what it would be like in here with a DJ. The decor is super cute & it looked like there was space to host small events. The drinks are the star. The watermelon margarita and sangrias were perfect. As for the food, The lemongrass chili wings were good although not spicy, so I asked for a side of vindaloo sauce for a little heat. The other ladies had similar feedback regarding the food; satisfying, but they all just needed some kind of kick. This included the fish tacos and chicken tandoori. I would absolutely go back. This was a good, casual chill spot. Next time I'll try it on a weekend night read more

Met with some friends for lunch. Right on the main drag of white plains. Cute spot. They have a wide array of delicious food options, drinks and desserts.

This place had very nice interior decor and environment. The menu options were a nice selection. We started off with the lasooni gobi which was so delicious. We also had the chicken empanadas which was very good as well. My main entree was the chicken malai, which was decent but didn't have much flavor or authenticity to it. I wish it was more saucy but it had potential. I loved my sangria drinks. All in all, a good experience. read more

Food was actually pretty good on a couple of occasions but two things make this place somewhere I likely won't come back to: 1. Service - very slow, unfriendly, apathetic. brought the wrong meals first. 2. Cleanliness - saw a few bugs on the floor and in the bathroom. Nothing majorly bad but I don't know... it's not like it's an outdoor food shack. read more

This place is still pumpin' good vibes with good music! I can't say enough about the atmosphere when you come in. The employees are very kind and helpful. Food is still as good as my first visit.

The staff was rude and not attentive at all despite the fact that there was no one else in the restaurant. We asked our server the difference between one plate and another and her answer was "I don't know, they're just different". Food was fine, nothing crazy.

I was so eager to try out this new branch from the chain of restaurants Chef Saran that I love. I am a big fan obviously so to be writing this review is painful. I'm a frequent diner at Mt. Kisko and especially, the Little Mumbai Market and Creperie where the food are always flavorful, service is warm/ on-point and each dish surprises regardless of how many times I have eaten the same. The space is big and beautiful. If you just want to drink, it's a good place to hangout but as a foodie destination, think twice. When it comes to food and service, this branch is lackluster. It doesn't have the wow-factor of the other restaurants just yet. Maybe because they just opened but there is something terribly missing. Compared to other restaurants in the area, it's okay but compared to its sibling spots, it's definitely the dullest. Service is awkward too. I've been asked by three different servers of my check while I already gave precise instruction to the first one. I don't know know who is in-charge. An example of an order gone bad is the goat curry that should have come with plantains. I have to call their attention to the fact that I wasn't given any while the menu described it. They apologized (had multiple servers, not just one. Read: Lacks focus) and finally came mid-meal. The side dish was quinoa with vegetables that were badly cut and far from fresh. The papadum was not crackling. The desert menu isn't the best. I would go to the Creperie in a heartbeat for good old desserts. You just don't expect this in a supposedly chef-driven restaurant. If you can and would like to drive further, I would recommend going to Pleasantville or Mt Kisko instead if you do want to taste the genius of Chef Bonnie Saran. Check out my reviews of the other two places. Those branches are definitely better. read more

I had been meaning to try Little Drunken Chef since it opened a couple of months back. I actually have the original one in Mount Kisco bookmarked but am yet to make it up there. Anyway, after walking by it multiple times I finally grabbed some dinner here with my colleagues. Before LDC occupied the space, there was another contemporary-ish restaurant in its place called The Birch Collective. I had been there a few times and noticed some similarities in the decor. They really did the space up nice - dark color scheme, points of light everywhere to contrast, and an overall modern design. They have a large bar area that serves as a focal point, as well as a combination of high tops and tables across two levels. Though they have full-sized dishes on their menu, LDC is known for their small plates. There were three of us so we decided to choose two plates each and share. There was really a nice variety - the six we chose were shishito peppers, chicken w/ plantains, cauliflower, shrimp tostadas, chicken empanadas, and halloumi fries. Additionally, we ordered a mushroom ravioli. Most of the plates were tasty - my favorites were definitely the halloumi fries which were paired with a tasty dip and cauliflower which was prepared Indian style. Service was good; we never felt forgotten and the food came out at a good pace. Overall, I'm impressed with LDC - they have a nice variety of dishes and the atmosphere is really modern and laid back. I'll definitely be back to explore more of their dishes. read more

Came in after a dentist appointment and was promptly seated. Our hostess and server Flo was kind enough to move some guests for my mom, who is unable to sit on high tops. Our second time here and we've been looking forward to returning based on a previous visit. Same great vibe and ambiance, lively music and decor. Among the top few spots where they get the balance just right. Interesting combination of Indian and Mexican street food. We really enjoyed the Lamb Madras, Goat Curry, Chicken Biryani and Chicken Tikka Masala. Extra rice is in order. All cooked to perfection! Come here for the delicious food, enjoy the great service and atmosphere. Outstanding!! read more

Came in on Friday night just to grab some drinks; two tables next to mine both had found cockroaches roaming on the booth seating and on the floor. When staff and management were notified it was as if that's a normal thing to see. No compensation was offered nor apologies given. Really cute ambiance but unacceptable sanitary conditions. Drinks also weren't even that good for the price tag either - just dont come here read more

What I expected. Good food not great... 3.5 stars for food and 4 stars for service. I wish I could recall his name but our waiter was so sweet and catered to our group. He was very accommodating and attentive considering one person in our party had a nut allergy. I ordered the chicken tikka masala. It was good just definitely not traditional. Which I totally expected! They had an option to serve with a side of quinoa or rice, which was amazing!!! My friend said the tacos were one of the best she's ever had. Another friend said her burger was delicious and my other friend wished the salad portion was a bit larger. Otherwise, great place! I am not opposed to returning. read more

This was so delicious! We came here last night for an early dinner and it did not disappoint. We started off with the appetizers and had the empanadas and samosas. For dinner we had the lamb vindaloo, lamb chops, and got someone chili chicken to go. All of the entrees come with rice, pappadum, and salad on the side! So it's a pretty heavy meal. But we also got some Paratha and naan to go with the curry. Everything was delicious and filling! For drinks, we got the pitcher of margaritas they have two flavors: regular and watermelon. Definitely recommend coming here for dinner or lunch, the meals are filling and so worthwhile. read more

I was there with 2 girlfriends on Saturday night. We set at the bar. We first ordered the molcajete Guac in a small size to share. It was seasoned well, however, it had LARGE chunks of avocado. Def not convenient when sharing & your trying to break up big chunks of avocado with your chip. We also ordered the shrimp toastada. It took a long time to come. It was ok.. The shrimp was cut into very small pieces & texture reminded me of lobster, over cooked. For drinks we ordered: Brazilian Wax, Between the Sheets & one that was purple & came in a champagne glass (although I forgot the name). The drinks were good. The bar tender was so-so.. not a great personality Also, when asking for WiFi access, no one seamed to know the password read more
