We finally made it to Gupshup for my husband’s birthday weekend and it absolutely did not disappoint. We’ve been wanting to try this place for a while, and even though it was freezing outside, we braved the weather and are so glad we did.
The service was outstanding, and our server’s sense of humor made the night even more enjoyable. He also gave great recommendations, and I truly appreciated that he didn’t mock me for not liking cilantro. So many Indian restaurants make a joke out of that, which feels demeaning especially since it’s genetic, not a personal choice. It was refreshing to be treated with respect.
The spice levels were perfect – balanced, bold, and not watered down or “westernized”. The food felt authentic and thoughtfully prepared. The chili mango lassi was a brilliant twist on a classic, and the jackfruit tacos hit the spot. The tadka daal and paneer were both perfectly made – comforting, rich, and full of flavor.
We also tried the dahi sev puri, which I found a bit dense for my liking, but my husband loved the thick yogurt and puri. We also ordered the green chili laccha paratha and the onion chili cheese kulcha – the kulcha was our favorite (we had a stare down on who got the last piece).
Even the dessert was fantastic. Usually I’m too full to enjoy dessert, but this one wasn’t overly sweet, and the rose and lychee flavors complemented each other so well.
Overall, Gupshup is everything we hoped it would be – delicious, authentic, and fun. We’ll definitely be back! Might even have to order carry out from there tonight to warm us up from this -12 degrees!

GupShup is such a fun and vibrant place. Yes, it’s a bit on the pricey side, but the flavors and presentation really stand out.
I loved the Bombay sandwich. The quantity was small but it honestly felt like proper Bombay street style, which made it feel authentic. The paneer cheese rolls and jackfruit pull tacos are a must try. Both were packed with flavor and really well done. The butter chicken wings were another highlight. So good and perfectly cooked.
The lychee rabadi dessert was amazing. The sweetness was balanced just right and topped with pistachios, dried rose petals, and fresh lychees. It all came together beautifully and was such a satisfying way to end the meal.
Hospitality was great and the staff were amazing. Glen was our host and gave excellent suggestions. The overall vibe of the place is lively and stylish. Would definitely love to go back and try their dinner menu next time.

Been on the Beli hit list for some time now – traditional Indian restaurant in Union Square neighborhood of NYC.
The interior is super vibey, lots of wall art classic to the Indian subcontinent. Restaurant is two levels, we were seated upstairs and it felt very cozy. They have a giant mural of a Bengal tiger named Shere Khan so obviously it made sense for us to eat here.
For appetizers we ordered the Dahi Sev Puri which looked like a traditional “gol gappa/pani puri” but instead was filled with a very flavorful yogurt. We also got the Malai tikka which was served with pickled onions and green chutney – a 10/10 for sure.
For the mains, we ordered the traditional lamb shank nihari which was full of flavor and had various spices infused. Main gripe about this dish was the lamb had a little too much fat in it, and the dish was served lukewarm. We also ordered the bone marrow which was served with a stuffed naan (mushroom). The server brought out a blow torch and cooked the bone marrow in front of us which was a cool show, but this dish was more of a gimmick. Would not get again. The mushroom naan was pretty good though.
Main feedback is that the temperature on these dishes needs to be higher when they are brought out of the kitchen.
Overall: 7/10

A wonderful friend decided to book a brunch reservation here. If you love the spicy foods and can handle it – you must come!
Unfortunately for us, even at the mildest spicyness request, that was our limit apparently – BUT let me tell you everything was delicious and flavorful, so we would definitely come again if we are in the area. (We will just remember to bring extra tissues.)
The most surprising thing was that the Ghost Chili House Chutney was not as spicy as we thought it would be and it quickly became one of our favorites along with the rest of the House Chutneys to dip the masala fries into or eat it with assortment of other things we had at the table.
The Butter Masala Paneer was delicious but I did order it with least amount of spiciness possible. I found it absolutely delightfully delicious however my nose did not and quickly ran out of my personal set of tissues. I’m still trying to figure out what type of spices and heat levels I can handle and expand on it, so this was a great experience overall.
We also ordered chai and you must try it here if you like the type that’s not heavily thick or milky. We ended up ordering chai twice as a result through out dining experience.
The staff here are wonderful and knowledgeable and try very hard to accomodate requests regarding spice levels and food recommendations and any allergies.

Food was aright, they have good creative cocktails. We ordered all vegetarian food like channa and kulcha, pulled jackfruit tacos, onion chilli cheese kulcha, avocado pomegranate raita and paneer butter masala. The restaurant has a charming vibe and the service was great! Paneer butter masala was alright, for a popular restaurant like Gupshup the quality of paneer disappointed my expectations.

Such a fantastic experience at this upscale Indian restaurant in the city. You have to order the Dahi ka Kebab and the Old Delhi Butter chicken!! But honestly everything we ordered was flavorful, elevated and perfectly curated.
The staff and chef were kind and attentive to all of our needs – including my nephews food sensitivities and allergies.
The decor is moody and vibrant – very well done design.
Highly recommend this spot!

This place seemed like all style and no substance as they put very little effort in the flavor of staple indian dishes. It was super crowded for a Wednesday night and I assumed all the hype was worth it but as the food came out, my expectations were humbled. Dahi sev puri had a filling of creamy dahi and absolutely very little sev. There was nothing else in the filling except dahi and some extremely spicy chutney. It felt inadequate for such a widely loved indian dish. Butter chicken wings were mildly warm and felt a bit stale. Honestly I’ve had better indianized wings in smaller joints. Same with butter chicken. They put pieces of boiled chicken ( literally just boiled as there was no flavor to the chicken pieces ) in the gravy and I couldn’t eat more than a small piece. We had to skip dessert after such an underwhelming meal. They have such great potential and nice ambience. I wish they focused on food a little more.

I recently dined at Gupshup and tried a mix of chaat, appetizers, and mains. Overall, it was a pleasant experience with a few standout dishes.
I started with the Dahi Sev Puri (⭐ 4.5/5), which had a really interesting balance of sweet and spicy flavors. It was refreshing, well assembled, and definitely one of the highlights of the meal.
The Butter Chicken Wings (⭐ 3.5/5) were good, but not exceptional. They were enjoyable and nicely cooked, though I felt they could have used a bit more punch in flavor to truly stand out.
The Chicken Tikka (⭐ 4.5/5) was excellent. The meat was juicy, perfectly cooked, and the marinade was flavorful and well absorbed. Easily one of the best dishes I tried and highly recommended.
The Achari Chicken (⭐ 3.5/5) was a bit disappointing compared to expectations. While achari dishes are usually tangy, sour, and pickle forward, here the dominant flavor was powdered coriander seeds (dhaniya), which felt overpowering and masked the traditional achari taste.
I was pleasantly surprised by the Lucknow Chicken Biryani (⭐ 4/5). I didn’t expect it to be this good, but it really impressed me with its freshness and balanced flavors. I genuinely enjoyed it and would order it again.
Lastly, the Garlic Naan felt bland, lacking both garlic and butter flavor, which was a miss considering how essential those elements are.
Overall, Gupshup offers some really good dishes with a few areas for improvement. The chicken tikka and biryani are must tries, and with a little refinement in certain items, the experience could be even better.
While the food is enjoyable, diners expecting strictly traditional, old school flavors might find a few dishes more on the milder or modern side.

While I was visiting NYC & was in the neighborhood, I stopped by at Gupshup for drinks.
Restaurant is nice & clean with friendly & welcoming staff.
I was at the bar table & enjoyed “My Friend Ballu” & “Paan Pe Raag” cocktail with fried Chicken in small plates. Chicken was made perfect, tasty & juicy.
I loved “My Friend Ballu” which is basically very nicely made Old Fashioned, but tastes very unique. While talking with very friendly bar Tenders, they explained me the whole process, how the preparation of ingredients for this cocktail takes place, every day.
Great job Gupshup team.

The appetisers was amazing.
Dahi Sev Puri had a nice refreshing taste. It was not a regular Mumbai style chat, but was really good.
Chicken Tikka was really amazing. Perfectly tender and juicy. Definitely worth having it.
Paneer cheese rolls was really good and flavorful.
RAJASTHANI KADHI was really good and portion size.
Achari Chicken was stand out. Nice taste and portion size. Perfectly flavored.
Goat Dum Biryani was a let down. The goat was not well cooked and chewy. The flavors were missing. Would avoid.
