“Great food!! Went there for the first time!“

“The food was so delicious (that salad and fish in lettuce wraps were my favorite) and also beautiful. Loved the ambiance and the cocktails too! Definitely coming back to try the rest of the menu.“

“One of the best Indian restaurants in NYC and a big step up from the sister restaurant Semma. The food here is delicious, satisfying, with decent portions and excellent presentation. The food is great, and it’s a special experience. Staff are friendly, the service is great. The cocktails are presented very nicely, but nothing wowed us. I’m here for the food and the service - and I couldnt be happier with that!“

“Best food ever“

“After eating so much (pizza etc )we needed to eat something different, spicy and booked this gem,as it as near to our hotel. It was also our 40th wedding anniversary. We are from U.K. This was amazing perfectly cooked tasty home made authentic Indian cuisine. We had mocktails ( lavender was refreshing ). The tandoori lamb chops x4 were full meat seasoned beautifully and delicious. All other sides perfect too. Now in U.K. we hate restaurant Indian puddings they are usually bought in and awful/failure. After finding out the chef is the owner and a recipient Michelin star we were convinced to stay,try and this was the first time we have had authentic home made puddings; try Kulfi with rose water & also Indian rice pudding. The whole meal was exceptional great value and we will recommend this restaurant to anyone else visiting New York. Easy to find off Times Square /Broadway. Thanks for the rendition “ congratulations “ for our 40th. You are great ! A little gem of authenticity in big New York !“

“Absolutely amazing meal! Was recommended to us by a friend, and we recommend it to you. A quick walk from our Broadway show, the meal was a perfect night cap. The mango margaritas were the perfect combo of sweet and spice; the cauliflower appetizer was bold and perfectly crunchy; the aloo gobi was wonderfully catered to our spice level and still full of flavor; the flaan was to die for. Resturant manager Rakesh Arban did an awesome job taking care of us. The atmosphere included colorful decor, mellow ambiance, and easy to talk to one another despite a somewhat full resturant.

There are stairs down to the entrance door. There are two single stall restrooms. The price was very reasonable given it's location and portion sizes.“

“An excellent hidden gem in the midst of busy midtown. A touch of mystery behind velvet curtains where felt red booth couches await in an intimate and welcoming atmosphere. The set up is chic and not cluttered with tables well spaced for the quiet work lunch. We went for restaurant week, and had the chicken tandoori starter which was perfectly spiced and delicious, followed by lamb curry which was tender, soaked in flavour, accompanied by garlic naan and rice. Staff are friendly and service oriented, in lusing the host. I cannot fault anything. Will definitely make this a regular spot to try the other items on the menu.“

“Very good food quality like the taste“

“I was pleasantly surprised with the great meal I had here. I would give it 5 stars but one of appetizers was below par (pani puri)but the rest of the dishes were excellent. The Hoth paan drink was super tasty!! Worth going to even though a tad expensive but it’s NYC!“

“Had a great experience at this restaurant. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the staff were friendly and attentive. Everything was fresh and well-prepared. Highly recommend this place for a wonderful dining experience!”“

“Truely Homely Indian food“

I am glad we came to this restaurant. We are gonna come again. My date night, ended with the best food I had in NY so far. Cheers for the restaurant, and double cheers for Amandeep“

“Came to check out this spot based on the hype from my friends, and our experience was that the food was nice but nothing crazy. Starting off, the service and ambiance were good.
Here is what we ordered:
Fried Fish: Was nothing special. We expected something amazing since it's one of the most expensive appetizers.
Aloo Chaat: This was good.
Chicken Dum Biryani: Very flavorful and our clear favorite of the night.
Dal Makhni with Roti: The dal makhni tasted authentic.
Rose milk was just try too
Overall, it was a nice experience.“

“Semma in New York City is widely celebrated for its heritage-focused approach, bringing rare and authentic Southern Indian flavors to a stylish, relaxed setting.“

“Great food, great service and value for the money. Great atmosphere“

“I had my birthday party with Passerine and it was incredible! The event coordinator McQueenie, all the waitstaff, our server Catie, the host and sommelier, every single person was absolutely amazing. Some of the best service I have ever received and the food was divine.

I highly recommend the aloo dumplings and cabbage. They surprised me the most. The cook on all the meat was beyond perfect. The beef melted in my mouth and the chicken was perfectly tender. Chef Shetty is a genius. We had a 3 course prix fixe and they printed custom menus for me with my name in the header! That was a lovely souvenir for us to take home. Every dish was 10/10. Thank you Passerine for the best birthday!

Passerine is vegetarian and halal friendly. They also have mocktails and teas for those that don't drink!“

“the customer service was amazing! I’ll definitely be recommending this place to others“

“Ate here today with friends. We got the cauliflower and achari chicken kebabs as apps. The cauliflower was meh but the chicken was excellent. Great pickled flavor and well cooked. I got the teekan murg, another friend got the jackfruit Biryani, and the third got lamb saag. The teekan marg was basically chicken cooked in a tomato-based spicy sauce that tasted like it featured scotch bonnets. It was advertised as Caribbean influenced. It was incredible! Very spicy (spicier than any Indian food I’ve had in NYC except the Brick Lane phaal—which is specifically cooked for a spicy food eating challenge) but also very peppery and great. The jackfruit biryani was also great—the jackfruit served its purpose well as a meat substitute. The saag was fine—not amazing but totally good. Highly recommended!“

“I heard that it’s really hard to get reservations but I luckily snag one. My fav appetizer is the shrimp. The railway chicken curry is the best dish. I was disappointed with roasted pineapple, nothing special. The rose ice cream is the highlight!“

“The ambiance of the restaurant was also noteworthy, with a cozy and intimate setting that was perfect for a romantic evening or a special occasion. I was thoroughly impressed by the attention to detail, from the stunning décor to the carefully curated music selection.“

“Amazing and Awesome Food.“

“Naan was lightly buttered and crispy, perfect for accompanying the flavorful curry, highly recommended“

“Siempre que puedo lo visito, me encanta su ambiente y su comida 💕🇮🇳🇪🇨“

“waiter was good food was too good.not expensive..like it“

“Butter chicken, goat doori kebab is to die for. Roomali Roti - just had it after ages. No doubt NYC has an Indian restaurant which can compete with the likes of Dum Pukht in India.“

“It was an extremely rainy day and we walked in without a reservation. Major props to the main guy who gave us a table despite the extremely busy Saturday night.

Food was average though -

Mocktails were great!“

“Delicious authentic Indian cuisine with flavours actually doing a dhamaka - explosion of flavors as you eat it. Great service. One feedback - for such a happening restaurant the restroom is quite shoddy“

“Incredible restaurant and food! Chandu had great service and overall highly recommend!“

“Food was fabulous. We had a large party and tried their lamb chops, Okra, daal and bbq chicken with real charcoal flavor. Fresh tandoori roti just made everything better.show stopper was the gulab jamun créme burlee. I visit aroqa eventide I am in NYC. Their drinks are next level, taste and presentation both.“

“Went for the Holi lunch. The food was really amazing—hats off to the chef for such delicious dishes. However, the lunch service was not well managed. We were asked to arrive a little early so everyone could start lunch at 1 pm, but the food was served about 40 minutes late. We had to wait for quite a long time, which was disappointing.

It would have been much better if some snacks or even the mango lassi (which was part of the lunch) had been served when guests arrived so that people didn’t have to stay hungry while waiting for the food.

The food quality was excellent, but improving service, management, and punctuality would make the overall experience truly amazing. 😊“

“Excellent food and friendly service“

“First time visited Jersey City My goodness the food was so delicious, the server was amazing and friendly feels so much like home. Highly recommended for you guys to try.“

“amazing food and service. thank you!“

“I ordered the chicken masala and veggie biryani. Chicken masala was Great! There was an Indian spice in the veggie biryani that I never had it before. The manager/owner was very nice/understanding and replaced my veggie order with a lamb dish which I prefer. I will definitely dine in and order for delivery , and can't wait to try other dishes. Thank you!“

“The food was plentiful and so good. The staff was very friendly and helpful in selecting our meals. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. I would recommend this restaurant!“

“Service was impeccable! We ordered take out at the restaurant, but they let us sit at the bar and offered a glass of water. Both of our curries were outstanding, rice was standard, but the naan was a bit chewy. The nice gentlemen even gave us a complementary mango lassi! Will be coming back if we’re in NYC again. 😊“

“The staff is genuinely welcoming attentive. We ordered butter chicken which was creamy and rich with just the right kick of spice. highly recommend“

“Highly Recommend Benares who loves authentic Indian delicious dishes. Plenty variety, great options to choose from, you will certainly like their food and great staff. Great fast service !! The food was incredible & it made us so happy!!“

“The man that worked there was so nice to us, and gave us great service. However, the food had absolutely no seasoning and needed salt. I was disappointed after seeing it all over social media, and reading the great reviews

Edit - the samosas are very good though“

“Cozy, intimate atmosphere. The service and presentation were wonderful. We had Tamarind Scallops and Chili Crab for appetizers. The crab was phenomenal and my favorite of all the dishes we ordered. For mains, we had Zameen Doz and Punjabi Tikhe Kebab with Malai Naan. The Dover sole was delicious and the pasanda sauce perfect for dipping the naan. The chicken was tender, juicy and so good! We were celebrating a friend’s birthday and were treated to a birthday dessert by our very attentive and kind waiter.“
