A New Wellness Oasis Blooms in Manhattan’s Chelsea
Manhattanites seeking a harmonious blend of fine dining and mindful living have a new haven: OASES, a multisensory escape, has blossomed in the vibrant Chelsea neighborhood.
This innovative restaurant, the brainchild of entrepreneur Sonam Sangmo, opened its doors in December 2024, offering more than just delicious cuisine. OASES provides an all-encompassing experience that nourishes the body and soul. Imagine a sleek and modern eatery that feels more like an art gallery, with its high ceilings, clean lines, natural materials, and a serene, neutral color palette.

At the heart of OASES lies a stunning fountain shaped like a lotus flower, a potent symbol of purity and growth. "At OASES, design is at the heart of the experience," Sangmo explained. "We wanted to create a space that feels both grounding and uplifting. The design integrates natural elements and thoughtful details to foster a sense of calm and connection, perfectly complementing the health-forward offerings we serve. Every detail, from the flowing lines to the serene lotus fountain, has been carefully chosen to create an environment where guests can feel nurtured and inspired.”
The curated New American menu, crafted by Chef Georgie Castillo, showcases fresh, seasonal ingredients and is a testament to the restaurant’s commitment to balance and wellbeing. Each dish reflects ancient Ayurvedic practices, transforming dining into a truly mindful experience.
