Čálli

Čálli is a Mexican restaurant located in a space inside Soho House most recently occupied by a pop-up. But Čálli promises it’s here to stay, and we hope that’s not a lie. Because every dish makes us want to order four more. That’s true for the little garnacha topped with carnitas, enmoladas in a mole that we’ve been ordered to stay 100 feet away from, and also the chocoyotes with chewy masa dumplings that laugh in the face of gluten. Depending on where you sit you might see people wandering in from Soho House by accident, but you won’t care when the food is this good.
