Warm and inviting but, not traditional. This family owned and run business is filled with delicious surprises. Don't get me started on the melt in your mouth flavor bursting lamb . The naan bread needs a caution label like you'd find on a pack of cigarettes because, I'm ready to take the drive back to the bronx to get some more .

I was there for a Yelp elite event what I learned they are 2nd generation owners since 1968 in nyc . Amazing people great place nestled in the Bronx with plenty of street parking of Uber if you are planning to drink. Northern Indian food dine with twist of what's popular in nyc . Just plain delicious. Enjoy their turmeric rice sauces tandoori wings everything is delicious.

Neem is my absolute favorite restaurant in the Bronx. After spending a year abroad, I made it a priority to come eat at Neem a few hours after I landed back in NYC. I always order the lunch specials which are absolutely delicious and you get great bang for your buck. The Chana Buna with Basmati Rice is my go to. The samosas, naan and iced tea that come with are icing on the cake. There are amazing pescatarian, meat and vegetarian options as well to fit the needs of anyone who chooses to dine at Neem. The owners and staff are absolutely phenomenal and I could not recommend this restaurant more!

We called the moment they opened and ordered a big order expecting that they will deny it. Instead, they catered us so nicely and provided our team with the best Indian food we ever had ( the order was for 10 to 12 people)Definitely coming back. Tikka masala was to die for.

Exquisite Dining Experience at NEEM Indian CuisineI recently had the pleasure of dining at NEEM Indian Cuisine on Johnson Avenue in Riverdale, and I must say it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable. Nandi and her husband Anil who run this establishment, have created a welcoming and warm atmosphere that sets the tone for a delightful meal. Our server, Jenny was incredibly sweet and attentive, enhancing our dining experience with her friendly demeanor and excellent recommendations.Now, let's talk about the food—it was simply spectacular. Every dish we tried was bursting with authentic flavors and cooked to perfection. From the aromatic biryanis to the flavorful curries, each bite was a delight to the senses. The attention to detail in the presentation of the dishes was also commendable, adding to the overall dining ambiance.NEEM Indian Cuisine truly excels in delivering top-notch quality in both service and food. The combination of exquisite flavors, friendly service, and a beautiful atmosphere makes it a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Indian cuisine in Riverdale.Overall, I cannot recommend NEEM Indian Cuisine enough. Whether you're a seasoned fan of Indian cuisine or trying it for the first time, this restaurant will exceed your expectations. It's a gem that deserves every bit of praise it receives.

After years of take out, my wife and I actually ate IN this time! Had the Bombay chicken (so good!!), the Chana Saag (wonderful) and the baked wings for an appetizer (always good!!). Had a great conversation with one of the (new) owners and found out how it's been a family owned and operated place for years, passing from one side of the family to another, but always maintaining a good menu, aromatic, spicy, and tasty food, and let's not forget terrific staff!!!Yes, oh yes, we will go back and dine in, and will continue to take out!
Love their different very hot selections of biryani and butter chicken! The food always comes on time on Uber eats and so tasty. Their green sauces on the side are yummy as well. Highly recommend!

This is the worst butter chicken dish ive ever had in my life. I cannot believe i paid 24 dollars to have this garbage delivered to me. This is also the first ever review ive ever posted about food in my life. Unbelievably horrible, just have to let others know!
