It was our first time here and we loved the vibe. Very Indian decor, walls donned with Indian newspapers, brought back memories from home. Super friendly owners. We started off with keema pav- delicious, spicy and great portion size. We then got chicken dum biryani and Lal Maas curry, both of which were delectable. The biryani had right amount of spices and flavors and very tender chicken. It was served with a raita on the side. Great experience will surely be back to try the other varieties.

The butter chicken was really bad. The chicken wasn't even skinless. The dahi batata puri was over seasoned with red pepper

We went to Adda because of the same owners as Semma and the food was really disappointing. Dahi puri was filled with red chilli powder and the butter chicken was like a regular chicken curry with no flavour. And to add to this, the staff was super cold.

This is the best of the unapologetic foods restaurants! Not even close. Sema and Dhamaka both pale in comparison to how good the food here is. The biryani is a must get - as are the chops and Gobi.
Terrible service, even worser food spent around $250 on subpar food maybe like 8 dishes? Served and cooked by non-Indians. Go to Seva in Astoria for real good Indian food by actual Indians.

Extremely unique and well-flavored Indian food. It is very authentic and delicious. I would highly recommend it. Since it was quite crowded that day, it took some extra time to get the server's attention to check out quickly. However, the food and ambiance are worth exploring

Stopped here for a last minute bite. Definitely would recommend reserving first because we got stuck at the bar. The pani puri was extremely spicy. The naan and panner was good, just hoped for more gravy. Staff was very kind.

This is one of my absolute favorite restaurants in the city. The flavor and variety is truly unmatched in the dishes. And the staff is beyond kind. We’ve been coming here for years, and can’t wait to go back again.

Vada pav is more or less bun with aaloo tiki. Hectic and the taste is so so.

We were thoroughly impressed by this location. Definitely our favorite Indian place for date night. Parking can be tough in the area but the food makes it worth it.We loved every meal starting with the Pav Baji, Vada Pao and Dahi Batata Puri, Lotus Roof Kofta. They were all a bit different but absolutely flavor bombs. If your familiar with Indian cuisine keep in kind the food can be very spicy. Even the Indian sodas were delicious. Amazing menu, can’t go wrong with any of the choices. We’re definitely coming back soon. The service was excellent as well
