This place is hands-down the best! I am sure to stop in every time I come to NYC. I highly recommend the samosas (meat and vegetarian), the chicken korma and makhani, and the kheer makes for a refreshing dessert. Entrees are served piping hot, fresh and full of flavor. Service is unparalleled — each person we encountered at our most recent visit was attentive and kind. Their new space is elegant yet warm and welcoming (like a hot cup of their chai). Bengal Tiger is a must-try!

The food was excellent. First time being there and was asked about spicy levels. The food was delicious and appropriately portioned for two. The garlic and cilantro nan were amazing. Cilantro was better. Lamb vindaloo is very spicy but so worth having. Asked for chili and onions on the side. The bathroom smelled amazing and was very clean. Smelled like warm vanilla. Reasonably priced. Will definitely be revisiting.

3.3 stars. With light snow falling and temperatures dropping, we were craving serious Indian food to warm us up. We arrived around 4:30 without reservations but were seated without any issues. It took about ten minutes though before we had our orders taken as the team seemed to have some coordination issues.

We all went for the Prix Fixe option ($28 pp) which included one appetizer, one entree, and one dessert. We added three naan (coconut, rosemary, cheese) for $15. Our son had a Chai ($4) too. Food was brought out after about 15 minutes. Flavors were average though.

All-in for dinner for our family was right at $165.

10/10 place. It doesn’t look promising on the outside, but once you come in and sit down, it’s a whole different experience. The atmosphere of the restaurant was very intimate, dim-lit, and romantic dare I say. The interior design was very cute- beautiful mirrors all around, white floral wallpaper, chic golden light fixtures. The tables are a little close to one another, so it can get loud pretty easily, but that didn’t seem to bother the people around us.

The service was absolutely amazing. I don’t think my water cup was ever empty. There was constantly someone looking out for empty places and water needing filling. Our Samosa Chaat appetizer came out very quickly, always nice. My first bite was something like a mouth orgasm. I didn’t know I can experience so many flavor profiles in one bite. Savory, tangy, sweet, crunchy, herby and fresh, sweet, soft, cold, warm… wow. If there’s anything you need to try, it’s that.

We were off to a good start with our appetizer, and even a better ending with our main course. My husband got lamb tikka masala, with the most tender lamb pieces and SO much flavor in each bite. I got a veggie tikka masala, which was also FULL of flavor, and filled with carrots, peas, potatoes, zucchini, onions I believe. The rice that came with the tikka masala were so flavorful and perfect taste, texture, and portion size. To accompany the tikka masala, we of course had to get naan. It was very tasty, especially when it was warm. It was less fluffy than I like, but nevertheless tasted great and served its purpose.

I honestly feel like we could’ve easily shared the two meals with a third person, especially with our appetizer. They food was so filling with great portion size.

I’m not sure if it was the owner or manager, but a kind gentleman also came up to us and brought us two mango lassi on the house. That just added to our already amazing experience.

My husband and I left the restaurant feeling so full and satisfied with the food, service, atmosphere, and price. For everything we ordered, it was only $60. Considering that we have breakfast for roughly the same price, I think it’s a great price for dinner.

If you’re thinking Indian food, definitely come here!

They have a great pre fixe here that give you an appetizer, a main, and a dessert! Lots of options to choose from for each category.

For the app I got the Vegetable Samosa. The filling was smooth, spiced well, and the bread was fried super crispy. Tamarind and mint chutneys were great as well mmmmm I love tamarind chutney so much I licked it clean.

For the main I was feeling spicy so I got the Chicken Vindaloo and let me tell you they do not hold back with the spice here! I feel like other places hold back a bit when it comes to spice but they go full force here, I was sweating! They gave us some Cucumber Raita on the house too.

The pre fixe doesn’t come with naan but how can you not order naan. This one was beautiful. The bottom was so crisp I was shocked! Ive never had a naan so crispy yet soft before.

Offered a great deal which is a three course for $28 and comes with an appetizer, entree, and dessert or you can do ala carte. We of course had to add on a mango lassi and loved how flavorful and spicy the dishes actually were. Also got to try some new dishes as recommend by the waiter and highly recommend visiting if you are in the area. Our favorites were the tikka masala and lasuni shrimp

Great Indian restaurant! The service was a bit slow but the food and the prix fix tasting menu was great! The portion was a bit on the smaller side, but the flavor was incredible! I asked for spicy and it was ~spicy~! The naan bread was a bit flat and dry, but great to soak up the chicken vibdaloo. I wish there were more gulab Jamun, the singular one was a tease, but it was super tasty and sweet!

Had a perfect Sunday lunch here! We started with the Samosa Chaat — super flavorful — then had the spicy Chicken Biryani and Paneer Makhni, both delicious and comforting. The Mango Lassi was the perfect finish. Great food, friendly service, and one of the best Indian restaurants I’ve been to!

Loved this little place!
Decor is cute and it’s not loud
Solid food too for the neighborhood
Their papad is the best!

$28 for an appetizer, an entree and a dessert is expensive for Indian food but a good deal for the area
