Avneesh KohliOctober 7, 2018High quality Indian food at a very reasonable price. Highlights were the dahi puri, lamb seekh kebab, goat biryani, and saag paneer. Staff is super nice and helpful!
- Leemor YuravlivkerDecember 15, 2018Don’t miss: Dani batata, aloo chana chaat, saag paneer, kofta and cheese naan. Veggie Biriyani was *not* flavorful, although the naan they use to cover it’s super tasty. Wash down w/mango lassi
Jess SpinosaSeptember 29, 2018Tandoori Poussin is to die for! Tandoori Gobi and Dahi Puri are pretty great too. Definitely coming back.
Cole KennedyMarch 23, 2019This is insanely good food. If it’s your first time, you gotta go for the Lucknow Dum Biryani. And the naan with Amul cheese.
- Alex RobertsonNovember 21, 2019omg it was so good. got those yogurt filled thingies pictured and the butter & garlic naan (Julie says go butter) and the tandoor chicken and the cheesy cauliflower and the goat biryani. ALL great
- Himanshu GuptaNovember 21, 2018Great simple Indian food - we had dahi Puri, kale pakodas, chilli paneer Tikka, Dal makhani and garlic naan and all of them were delicious.
IrmaZandl ZandlSlantMarch 17, 2019Delicious dinner. It’s not a place to linger over a meal - long lines waiting to get in. Next time I will try to land seats at the bar. My faves were the spinach, kale and eggplant dishes.
AmateurConciergeJune 27, 2019Like eating at your Masi’s house in India...if she was nice with every dish. Everything is solid and affordable. Kale pakora 👌🏽
Kathy LiuDecember 2, 2018Really delicious, authentic Indian food. Some of the best we’ve had in NYC (and we’ve eaten a lot of Indian food). Gets crowded fast- make a reservation ahead of time or you’ll be in line forever.- LilyDecember 26, 2018NYT Top New Restaurants ** (11/2018): "Chaats; keema pao; kaleji masala; bhatti da murgh; tandoori poussin; tandoori macchi; saag paneer; dilliwala butter chicken; rara gosht; Lucknow dum biryani."
- Alex RobertsonNovember 21, 20191. this place is NO LONGER BYOB. they have beer and wine. 2. It is super duper cramped! 3. Here’s a picture of the tandoor chicken. This is one of my favorite restaurants in New York City now. Cheers!
Amol SarvaDecember 29, 2018All the starters. Focus on those to be most impressed. By the fabulously creative approach. Pakoda, cauliflower, bhel puri all amazing.
Yoni ZloczewskiMarch 19, 2019Tasty food but get a reservation because you will be waiting a while otherwise. The Aloo Chana Chaat is simple but also addicting. Keema Pao has some surprising kick. Tandoori meats are tender
Kelsey LNovember 11, 2018The food is great and reasonably priced. Get the butter chicken/chicken mahkni. There weren't a lot of tables, may need to make a reservation in advance. Service still has room for improvement.
Yash AgarwalNovember 13, 2018This is best Indian food I have had in or outside India, I dread the day it becomes busy and expensive, but so good, nyc needed this, byob! Order anything, everything.
Elysia BandongNovember 4, 2018Sit at the bar to get a chance to chat with the friendly head chef! The goat biryani was my favorite! Also, restaurant is BYOB. No wine or beer served yet.
pipituAugust 22, 2021Appetizers (Indian street food) are so good, especially the cauliflower one. For main dishes like curry and biryani, you can find better ones in other restaurants
Jarel HillFebruary 11, 2019Yea this place is special! Kale Pakoda, Dahi Batata Puri, Chicken Makhani and the Lotus Root Kofta were the favs but I want to try everything
Kevin StappFebruary 8, 2020The Lucknow Dum Biryani with slow-cooked goat was terrific! Everything here was a taste sensation.
Alex BrittSeptember 22, 2021Everything was fantastic. Goat brains was a standout. Biryani *chef’s kiss*Upvoted Mar 15- Guha ArunkumarMay 7, 2019Delicious food here. The lotus root kofta is good. Chili cheese naan is a must!
- Can’t stop coming here. Butter chicken is a must have, loved the Dahi Batata Puri.
Scott InglesFebruary 12, 2019Whatever else you get, make sure to order the biryani and the chana chaat. The rest is up to you.
Varun PrasadSeptember 28, 2018Great Indian food. Kale pakoras, butter chicken and paneer Tikka are great.- Sanjida BintekamalOctober 25, 2018EVERYTHING IS GOOD HERE! You can’t go wrong with anything. Highly recommend dahi puri
