This meant that it was hard for them to balance both service and cooking efficiently2.

“My favorite takeout Indian in the area! I usually go Chicken 65 for an appetizer which has (in my opinion) the perfect spicy level between flavor and spicy. For meals, you can’t go wrong with the Chicken Tikka Masala (or Vindaloo) + Garlic “
“From outside it looks like Small boutique Restaurant specializing in Indian cuisine & I just found it while roaming around streets of New York during recent visit & this accidental discovery didn't let me down, food quality & quantity both are amazing, owner is present almost from 11 am to 11 pm & staff is courteous, highly recommended as I visited all the sought after restaurants in town but this one stands out for the gourmet Indian food.“
“Baingan bartha & Dal tadka are 10/10. The baingan bartha is easily their top dish, super rich, with the right amount of sour + sweet + spice. The dal tadka is so wholesome, a little high on garlic. I would recommend the “desi spice” level as the flavors can be a bit mellow otherwise. The paneer was okay - not the softest and the flavors are pretty typical. 20% tip is mandatory and included.“
“Food is deeply flavored amazing classic Indian food, coconut naan is extra delicious, lovely calm music, soft lighting nice art and comfy chairs, corkage fee for wine is only €5 bring for yourself a nice dry riesling this place is amazing!“
“Came for momos, left extremely satisfied! Their steamed chicken momos taste authentically Nepali, and the aachar (sauce) is the right amount of savory and spicy. Excellent service and great atmosphere and music. I'll be back to try the chili and jhol momos!“
“Chill to the max and proper Indian. I feel transported back to India when I am there.The garlic naan as good as in Delhi. When I need cheering up and great food I make it there. The music in the background is not bad and not too loud.The service is stellar as Miguel is cool and he tells you what to get and he is always right on point. If you are in the mood for some libation, it is BYOB.I must admit also love the cheese naan. Can never get to the desert as I order too much to start.See you in the neighborhood.Vegetarian options: All that you could ever want and even vegan options.“
“The best kebabs in the US so far! I had the Goat Doori kebab sheermal and it melted in the mouth with so many flavors. Its a must eat here. The Andhra Chilli Chicken is really hot and spicy. Do mention spice level for chilli chicken if not you will experience the spice level like never before. I loved the saffron pancakes with the dry ice on it with beautiful presetation. The sweet potato chat was good too. Overall Super tasty food items on the menu. I would defintiely try others next time.“
“The food and service here were pretty spectacular! The Achari mushrooms and Cauliflower Manchurian were my favorite appetizers! (I'm a meat lover so I'm amazed at how they made Cauliflower taste like Sesame Chicken!!) For entrees, I would highly recommend the Lamb Rogan Josh, so tender and juicy and bursting with flavor! Also, the Tandoori Salmon is a must have because it was seasoned, smoked and cooked to perfection!! Beba was our server and she was so patient and kind with a group who couldn't make up their minds! And lastly, please check out the bartender (I think his name was Sean, but I could be way off :/...I blame the a-a-alcohol..) He makes a mean cocktail and he is not at all stingy with the good stuff ?.“
“Amazingly DELICIOUS very great menu alot to choose from I wanted it all so I started with the salmon tikka I’ll be back to try everything else !!!Tanmay our server was very helpful and hooked us up with mango desert, he’s super cool and welcoming !!!!“
“Loved my time here! Amazing and authentic food. We ordered the off-menu Goan mega Thali’s that you have to call two days in advance for. We got the king fish thali, boneless salmon thali, vegetable thali, lobster tikka masala and the best chai in nyc. Beautiful decor as well!“
“Enjoyed our time here, came with a bunch of friends and did the prix fixe and ordered most of the menu to share and try, the dishes were all pretty original, although i personally would have loved to have an elevated chicken curry! Service was on point as well, would recommend“
“Fantastic home made food. By far the best authentic food I have had . Absolutely phenomenal. The food was not too oily, had freshness and depth in flavor and was delivered to the table with a smile, this indeed felt like homemade food. Amazing work! I will be back again and again.“
“This place is an amazing find so close to Times Square! If you are in the are don't miss the opportunity to have dinner, or lunch here. The ambiance is great for a date night, the food is so flavorful and delicious, and the staff are so friendly and attentive.“
“Nirvana Indian Kitchen exceeded all my expectations! The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, and the food was out of this world. From the tender tandoori chicken to the rich and creamy paneer tikka masala, every dish was bursting with flavor. Can't wait to visit again!“
“This was a delivery order. They nailed it. The dish I ordered said spicy and I asked for it not to be spicy. Perfectly prepared ?. The food was nice and hot and the delivery man was so sweet. I will definitely eat here again. Thank you for making my night. Money well spent.“
“Actually looked for a good indian restaurant near macys and so happy we dined here. It definitely was very delicious and the owner helped us with our orders. We loved our appetizer that he suggested and when we commented on how good it was, he brought us another. Butter chicken was great along with garlic naan. Can't wait for the next time we can visit again. Iris and emilyVegetarian options: Serves lots of veggie choice including the use of delicious pomegranates“

“Fluffies offers fresh and delicious high qualitychicken. The service is fast and friendly. I love the crisp of the signature sandwich! The place was super busy on a Friday night but the staff were friendly and fast service. The dining room needs more attention. Highly recommend trying it.“
“Saw this place in social media and I knew I had to try it, so I did and it did not let me down. The concept is a blend between mexico and India but the food if absolutely fantastic and very reasonably priced. Highly recommended to try! They have two locations, one in Hells Kitchen and another in Greenwich Village.“
“Chola is easily the best Indian restaurant in all of Manhattan and Northern Jersey. My wife and I drive in bi-weekly for their awesome food and ever changing menu. The staff is incredible and friendly, we've gotten to know them all and consider them personal friends at this point. Any time we can, we take friends and family to Chola. It's is the best!“
“Ate at spice symphony whilst visiting New York and was delighted ! The staff were exceptionally welcoming and helpful, offering suggestions for appetisers and information to assist choosing entrees. The food was lovely, great flavour and good quality. My fish curry was just perfect. I’d certainly recommend.“
“Met work colleagues for dinner here. The restaurant felt warm and cozy. The service was good; The food was even better. We had a different array of appetizers (tandoori chicken, vegetable samosas, chicken samosas, crispy okra, masala shrimp cocktail, and paani puri), followed by our main courses which were exceptional as well ( butter chicken, chicken biryani, string beans, chicken curry). Don't skip on dessert; the sticky toffee pudding was to die for. It was a night of full bellies and laughter. Will be definitely be coming back and adding it to my rolodex of restaurants.“
“Ordered for pickup. Smooth online order process. Everything was ready and hot when we arrived home. The dinners were flavorful, abundant (Rogan Josh & Korma). Samosa’s were also delicious. Rice pudding for dessert. Highly recommend! Will definitely frequent.“
“The food was so amazing and the service is great. I was here sitting at the bar and this is one of the best experiences with any Indian food I've had. The restaurant is very well decorated and gives off a very nice vibe. I would definitely recommend.“
“The food was excellent with really good flavors and at a super reasonable price point. For apps, we got the veggie samosas, which were excellent. We got the chicken tikka masala and the truffle korma with chicken for mains with a side of garlic naan and paratha.the garlic naan was INSANE- so light, crispy, and fluffy at the same time. i literally could have eaten two orders. out of the two chickens we got- definitely recommend the chicken tikka masala. It definitely a small spot, with limited space. You also get served with paper plates and take out containers, which we didn’t mind, but just a heads-up.I definitely recommend for take out and will be back!“
“my sons orders Aloo Paratha today and it was the best I have ever tasted. It was made fresh and absolutely hit the spot. I loved all the spices and had the perfect texture. Thank you so much for the delicious food! We will definitely be back again!Kid-friendliness: Incredibly kind to my two boys even with my impatience. Thank you so much!“
“For the late night hours, convenience of location, swiftness of preparation, affordability and, finally, for the food itself. For all of these reasons it’s a definite five stars for me.I’ve tried the palak paneer Frankie (spinach + paneer cheese), the masala unda Frankie (the most basic one with omelette and spices), the baigan bartha Frankie (fire roasted eggplant) and the mango lassi so far. What I appreciate about all the Frankies (& a feature they all share) is how fresh and vegetable-heavy and healthy-feeling they all are. —Not very common for quick, late night street food snacks. Decently filling as well. The masala unda one has a lovely crisp, fresh, “herby”, minty seasoning - it’s very nice. Mango lassi was delicious too.To me you’re getting good value for money here.“
“This is our favorite neighborhood Indian restaurant and it never disappoints. I really enjoy the takeout & eating in when I can. The staff are so pleasant & helpful. The food is what shines - so flavorful & delicious.I'm giving the atmosphere 4 stars because it's nothing to write home about but it's cozy, simple & the staff make it feel warm. Highly recommend you stop in if you live in the area or are visiting - you won't be disappointed.Dietary restrictions: They're knowledgeable & were able to accommodate my gluten (wheat) & dairy (milk) allergy.“
“Ordered takeout:Chicken Biryani4/5. The marinade on the chicken was incredible. Perfectly seasoned and chicken also so tender, well cooked, and well-portioned. The chicken component itself deserves a 5/5. The rice however, also good, but personally, I like when the marinade has merged uniformly, or when the rice has been evenly coated with the saffron water/turmeric or whatever flavor and color blend is used. The rice was also on the greasier side. Therefore for personal preference reasons, the rice was a 3/5 for. The chicken was the star indeed, and the spice level was also magnificent. Hence a 4/5.To note, two other people whose opinions I tryst give the biryani an overall 5/5. So it's still pretty good to say the least.Chicken 65This was a 5/5 dish. Good portion, well-spiced, and very aromatic. Chicken 65 done well. Fabulous.Overall, the flavors presented were great, portions were brilliant, and I'm excited to try other things from here!“
“Some of our dishes were a bit bland, while one was very tasty. We wonder whether they made mild rather than our desired medium spice. That could have been the problem.Server was very good! Atmosphere - cute and cozy place, but the heating unit upstairs was a bit loud when it was on (on & off).“
“Seva has the best Indian food I’ve ever had! My husband and I love coming here. The staff is very nice and the atmosphere makes for a relaxing date night. We love the food and always look forward to dinner here. They also have a pre fixe meal that is a pretty good deal.“
“Please DO NOT use Doordash as your delivery option. Twice I did not receive my order ( puri aloo) and the delivery person showed it as delivered.Ofcourse Doordash refunded my money. But it is very disappointing to keep waiting for your order to realize that you will never get it.“
“Ordered the chicken curry lunch box and picked up within 45 mins. It came with a portion of chicken curry, chopped and sautéed red vegetables (I think it may have been beets), fluffy rice, moru curry (turmeric-infused buttermilk), mango pickle, fish curry, and a gulab jamun. (I substituted the default kingfish curry for "malabar fish curry" with salmon pieces instead - was blown away by its taste!). Everything was fresh and flavorful! I especially loved the fluffy rice, the moru curry, the spiciness of the chicken curry, and most of all, the flavor profile of the malabar fish curry! Would definitely come back and buy this combo again!Parking: Street parking on slight incline. Street is fairly quiet and was somewhat filled but can still easily find parking.“
“I am a fan of Indian food, and Karahi was one of the best Indian restaurants I’ve ever visited. The food is delicious, the wait times are minimal, and the prices are reasonable for such a central location in Manhattan, near the Theater District. Typically, we don’t dine at the same place twice when traveling, but we made an exception for Karahi because we wanted to taste more items on their menu. I will definitely visit them again next time when I’m in NYC.“
“One of the best Indian restaurants around! The food is hot and delicious, the service is amazing, they made me feel comfortable, I felt very homely. 100% Bengaluru Vibe. Love it! This is the go-to place if you're looking for great Indian food!“
“We ordered take out- chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, samosas, and garlic naan. Flavors were great but the mild spice level left us wanting more of a kick. Overall, each dish was very tasty with fresh and high quality ingredients. India Palace will definitely be one of our new go to restaurants! Looking forward to trying the mango lassi next time.“
“This place has been pioneer of authentic Bengali food for so long. The Roast Khichuri has to be the best in NYC. We recently had a iftar with a decent amount people in our group here. The service I received was above and beyond. The very new server and the very old servers were always attentive. Sometimes it gets hectic at busy hours but that’s how food industry works.“
“Overall experience is a 4.5 stars . As a customer I don’t want to feel like I’m forced to tip servers . Furthermore I don’t want it to seem as if I don’t support staff for doing their job but a mandatory 18% service fee is ridiculous if that wasn’t included in my bill my waitress was seeing atleast 20% to 25% of my bill but unfortunately service fee being designed prior is not a stylish fit to the atmosphere. Wonderful spot butter chicken items have Indian touch perfectly drinks are poured amazingly dj is great can’t complain other than business seeming to want to force cash grab. I’m fortunate enough to afford to do this but if you saw this spot from instagram as me and wanted to take a date and wanted to dollar count just make sure you add 18% to your bill.“
“One of the best India lunch I’ve had in a long time. Highly recommend it!! Going to soon visit the place. Wow incredible chicken tikka, dal, veggie, naan, rice and rice pudding. I felt nostalgic about the food, reminded me of India Mumbai. (Regret eating the food without taking picture) :)“
“A Flavorful Experience at Manjal Indian RestaurantI recently dined at Manjal Indian Restaurant and was thoroughly impressed by the culinary delights it had to offer. From the moment we stepped in, the warm ambiance welcomed us, setting the stage for a memorable dining experience.We started our culinary journey with the Chicken Biriyani and King Fish Fry, and both dishes exceeded our expectations. The Chicken Biriyani was fragrant, with perfectly cooked rice and tender chicken, while the King Fish Fry boasted a delightful crunch and burst of flavor with every bite.The attentive service further enhanced our experience, with the staff going above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction.To top off our meal, we indulged in two cups of Madras coffee, which were nothing short of perfection. Rich, aromatic, and with just the right balance of sweetness, it was the perfect conclusion to our dining experience.Overall, our visit to Manjal Indian Restaurant was nothing short of exceptional. With delicious food, impeccable service, and a welcoming atmosphere, it's a culinary gem that I would highly recommend to anyone seeking an authentic Indian dining experience.“
“Darbar is an absolute gem. Food is fantastic & incredibly authentic (not to mention the best prices for indian food in NYC!) Do yourself a favor and get the Chicken 65 — be warned, it is a (spicy) explosion of flavor on your tastebuds. The classics like vindaloo & tikka go hardddd and “lesser known” dishes (ie by the white americans ;) ) like balchao, chana saag, etc. are wondrous. Service is kind, attentive, and very helpful. Truly cannot beat this place for date night, friends/family dinner, work gathering (private room upstairs too!), or even a solo experience.“
“Amazing food! Amazing service! Amazing place!From the moment we walked in we were greeted by such a good energy and warmth.They were very accomodating and attentive.We ordered alot of food, and they brought an additional table for our family of 5 so that we could comfortably layout everything we ordered. The food came unbelievably fast, and when it did - it was TO DIE FOR! The flavors were so fresh and delicious. We will be back on our next visit to NYC!“
“A place that is very well known among the locals. The person who prepares the food speaks less English, make it clear in advance what you want and keep an eye on this and everything will turn out fine. We had the Chicken Tikka, white sauce, green sauce, little hot sauce and be sure to ask for the mango pickle!“
“My family and I have been coming here for years. This is the BEST restaurant in the area. The host Sridhar is the best, always on point, and accommodating to my daughter’s needs. The food has always been consistently awesome and will continue to come in the future.“
“We were in a mood for Indian food. The lunch specials looked good. The appetizers, Chicken Tikka and Malai Kebabp were very tasty. The entrees, Lamb Rogan Josh and Salmon Saag were both delicious and we had exquisite naan with it. At the end, we ordered an extra portion of naan and Mango Lassi. All reasonably priced. We highly recommend OM and will go back to try more delicious dishes from them.P.S. We sat outside with our dog Bruno and he got a container with water.“
“The Karma Bowl is a dream come true of having multiple Indian dishes in one plate so you can have all those different flavors together! It was so good and had fresh veggies as garnish as well. The garlic bread was also very well-flavored and buttery. This is my top lunch spot for takeout.“

“Love this place. We mostly order in and the whole family loves the food. Eating in the restaurant is even better, more authentic, experience. It's our go-to place when we don't feel like cooking at home and don't want to argue about picking a place because it's universally loved.“
“In the mood for Indian food we saw that Kamal Palace had really good reviews. All in, it was worth the trip.The food was not great but it was good. The samosas were a tad oily and the curries were not as flavorful as I would have hoped.However, the service was great and the price can’t be beat. Seriously, we ordered two apps, two dinner plates, and two orders of naan and it came to about $50!“
“I like Indian food and have eaten it all over the world. I have to say that Rudra was one of the best Indian restaurants I've ever had the pleasure to eat at. The food was excellent in every way and the portions were generous. Definitely try the Chicken Makhni (butter chicken).“
