Patiala Indian Grill is conveniently located on the corner of W 34th Street, in a small, cozy space that accommodates about 10 to 15 seats. Despite its modest size, it offers flavorful and well-prepared dishes that reflect authentic Indian cuisine. The restaurant also has a larger setup with a bar located at W 35th Street, providing a different dining experience. I visited with a few colleagues from work. I ordered the Hot Lentil Coconut Soup, a creamy and mildly spicy starter, along with a traditional Salted Lassi to cool the palate. For mains, I enjoyed Kurkuri Bhindi (crispy fried ladyfinger), Paneer Chilli (spicy paneer with peppers and onions), Egg Curry, Chilli Garlic Naan, Dal Tadka (spiced lentil gravy), and Zeera Rice (cumin-flavored rice). My colleagues tried Tandoori Murg (bone-in tandoori chicken), Pepper Lamb, Sweet Chilli Chicken, and Chicken Curry. All dishes were authentic, thoroughly cooked, and tailored to Indian taste preferences. You can request your preferred spice level to suit your palate. Overall, it’s a good option to consider for flavorful Indian cuisine in the area.

This place is very close to The Edge and Times Square, making it a great spot if you’re around the area. The restaurant is small with only 4–5 tables, so seating is limited. They had a lot of to-go orders, and the in-house service was a little slow because of that.
They serve authentic Indian food, and the ambiance is cozy and nice—perfect for a date night, especially if you enjoy small spaces with corner tables and candlelight vibes.
We ordered:
• Samosas
• Paneer Kali Mirch
• Langar Wali Dal
• Lemon Rice
• Chilli Cheese Garlic Naan
• Butter Naan
Everything was absolutely delicious with unique and fresh flavors. We really loved the food!
Overall, a great place to visit, but we’ll definitely choose takeout next time due to the limited seating.
Highly recommended for Indian food lovers! ✨

I would start with off with quite possibly the best but instead I’m gonna be brutally honest and say it is the best Indian food I have had and I’ve had Indian on multiple continents and even in India.
Mango lassi, Butter chicken, garlic naan, and the most flavorful rice. Don’t miss out on this small, but delightful restaurant.

Amazing Tasty North Indian food!
Couldn’t stop eating! Especially Paapdi Chaat and Dal Makhani.
They also gave us Complimentary Dal soup when we came in, and in winter cold, it was a breath of relief and warmth.
The place is a little small, but the taste makes up for it by 10 times over.
Good place for even Vegetarian people.

Amazing chicken biryani, one of the best in Manhattan. Tastes very similar to those I had when I was in Delhi. Juicy chicken and spicy, fragrant rice. Also, the server was super kind and courteous! Definitely recommend

This is one of best among all the restaurants, I have visited so far in New York. Though it’s higher side on pricing.
Its location is very convenient.If you are roaming around Times Square, then no worries for authentic Indian food and drinks.
Better you reserve a seat in advance.If you can not, then still okay. Wait time is not more than 15 minutes.

The menu is super diverse and absolutely delicious! I highly recommend the shahi sweet lassi as a drink to anyone that likes creamy drinks. Try it instead of mango lassi!
The lamb korma and vindaloo were my favorite. The zeera ghee rice is also an absolute must. The serving sizes were also plentiful. I recommend eating family style.
The service was phenomenal. Food came out fast and the servers were all very attentive and caring. The music was fun too! Perfect for a cool day. Deserves a larger location and more attention!

Not a cliche indian restaurant, very mordern restaurant.
We went for evening snacks and ordered- palak patta chaat, papadi chaat, tea and filter coffee.
The tea was amazing and the coffee too. I personally loved the palak patta chaat due to its crispness. But the papdi chaat was also good.
Must visit

The food was decent, a bit spicy, but not too spicy for me. I was surprised that an entre doesn’t come with rice or nan and the appealing lunch special advertised on a sign outside is for takeout only. That was disappointing. I have never seen a takeout only lunch special. I mean, come on. Also, there is no entre vestibule so on a freezing day like today a blast of cold air came in every time the door opened, which was frequent. That made it an uncomforable dining experience. And really, not offering a lunch special to people who dine in and not having anything come with an entrée, which at $18 was not cheap just for lentils, I found it to be not a good deal. That said, one thing I did appreciate is that they have a vegan section of the menu which many restaurants do not have. So there are definitely pluses and minuses to this place.

Amazing Indian place. We loved it. Not a tourist trap. The tikka masala and papal panned were some of the best I have ever had. The garlic nan is buttery goodness. Love the ambiance too: tiny and quaint.
