This month Chakra, which opened in Paramus back in 2004, celebrates its Tenth Anniversary with a menu that celebrates the past while also showcasing the best of Executive Chef/ Partner Thomas Ciszak’s cooking.

Chef Ciszak, who partnered with the restaurant’s owners in 2010, researched the most popular dishes from Chakra’s early days and for three days only April 29 – May 1, he will put his spin on these old Chakra favorites. Each dish will be $20.04 and include selections like Coconut Shrimp with mango chili sauce, Skate Wings with fennel, capers and lemon vinaigrette, and Short Ribs of Beef with glazed cipollini onions and mousseline potatoes. Both appetizers and the Dark Chocolate Tartufo with black perigord truffle will be served for the table. The full regular menu will be available as well.

Also during the anniversary celebration, GM and Beverage Director Evelyn Ciszak has pulled some special older wines (that would not otherwise be poured by the glass), many from the 2004 vintage, from the cellar to serve by the glass for $20.04. Also all wines by the bottle from the 2004 vintage will be 20.04% off.

Both food and wine menus can be viewed below. Reservations are available via OpenTable,
