“This is some of the best Indian food I have ever had. The service wait time isn't long at all and the food is phenomenal. Also the man who served us was a very pleasant man. He was quick to respond to request and attentive. The price is also so affordable in my opinion in light of today's economy.

The atmosphere is cozy. Will definitely be back a third time! The music is pleasant the seating is comfortable. The decor is comfy too.

Ive had vegetarian and seafood here, both are delcious.

I don't often give 5 stars but this place I've visited twice in one week and was pleased both times. Needs to be a local favorite if it isn't already.“

“Rudra Indian Bistro on Cedar Lane is authentic as it gets. We have been here so many times and will always keep coming back because the food is high quality, healthy, and very delicious. We always start with the House Salad which is a great way to begin your meal. The Tandoori chicken is so juicy and succulent, and the Lamb Korma is one of our favorites. I highly recommend Rudra Indian Bistro! One of the best restaurants of Teaneck...“

“The goat curry was amazing! No gamey smell, the meat was super tender, and the flavor was spot on. I could eat the gravy by itself. Plus, they use less salt, and you can always ask them to adjust the dish to your taste.“

“Good service and clean Ample parking.“

“Best meal I’ve had in a long time! I ordered takeout and already can’t wait to go back. I got the paneer tika masala and garlic naan which were both incredible. When I went to pick it up the atmosphere felt both cozy and sophisticated, and next time I go I definitely want to dine in person. The staff were very friendly as well!“

“I highly recommend this venue. We were very happy with the food, service and Diya's personal attention.“

“Best in Class! We went for lunch two days in a row. Delicious food at a very modest price. Great taste, nice portiers. very friendly staff. And the cleanest restroom in NY. Recommended!!!!!“

“Delicious food and great spot to dine with friends.“

“I live 1 block away & get to enjoy Indian Tanpura's food whenever I want! Pictured are the vegetable samosas (2 per order), Saag Paneer, garlic naan & aloo paratha, and Chicken Kashmir.

Every time we order we get the samosa: absolutely excellent with the sauces & garlic. Saag Paneer is a standout too, that's part of most of our orders. We've tried almost all of the curried dishes, and others like Rogan Josh, lamb moglai and have enjoyed them all. Proceed with caution on the vindaloo, one of the spiciest I've had!

The staff is warm & welcoming, vibe inside is calm & classic. Highly recommend!“

“Amazing food, service. Family owned. Love it here.“

“Made to order paratha
Have seen many New York taxi drivers stop for a meal here which means this place is good and value for money
Whatever I have tried was yummy and had a homemade meal taste to it
No frills joint“

“Went for lunch on a random Monday and had the prefix menu, which was absolutely exquisite. Fresh flavors, great portions, everything and I mean everything was just exquisite. I must stop if you find yourself in Irvington, and order a couple times a week if you’re fortunate enough to live there! This place is that good.“

“I highly recommend this place. The menu was diverse and had many amazing choices and the food was tasty and affordable. The waiter we had was incredibly nice. I strongly recommend the Chicken Tikka Masala because we enjoyed it very much. The place was small but we enjoyed it and the only thing that I would recommend the staff to do is add some music. A small speaker would make the meal even greater :) Truly a hidden gem!“

“Absolutely amazing!!! We will definitely be returning when we come back to the city! Pricing is fair and portions are spot on!“

“I understand that the management and the chef are one and the same as that of Awadh, where I ate a number of times. Well, the menu is different but the quality is the same. I loved the lamb chops and the goat. Spice level was fine. Because it ws a holiday the beautifully appointed dining room was quiet, enabling good conversation. I have no idea what it will be like when all tables are filled. We were happy with the service and never felt rushed.“

“I work nearby and often stop in for takeaway lunch, and it's consistently great. The food is fresh and flavorful, with a lot of variety and for a great price. The place is always clean and well maintained, and the staff are warm and welcoming.“

“Great food great price great service amazing flavor. If you live in New York City, you gotta try this out.“

“This is hands down the best Indian food I've ever had. I either go in or order online weekly. I have never had a single thing that is not amazing. I take anyone from out of town here, because the food is impressive. Its not bogged down with oil, tons of flavor. Nothing but good things to say about this place. I am a huge fan!

Dietary restrictions: I am gluten free and there is so many options for me to have. Everything is CLEARLY labeled.“

“Garlic naan and makhani.“

“Random walk-in to try their lunch buffet on a Sat afternoon got us here. Old skool Indian restaurant; dated interiors, old bar that still serves Indian classic cocktails, and a buffet that surprisingly manages to justify its $21 price tag (half-priced for kids under 6).

Poonam, our hostess got us seated and we went straight to grabbing our food, Their buffet selection was limited, but felt perfect. Snacks included Samosa's and Chicken Pakoras with a tasty green chutney, and mains focused on dependable classics like Aloo Gobi, Saag Paneer, and a rather bland Dal Makhni. They had one Indo-Chinese mains - Fish Chilly, and non-veg mains included Chicken Tikka Masala, Goat Curry, Chicken Kali-Mirch. They also had Biryani Rice and Choley Bhature, but the Bhatura's were very thick and disappointing.

They served naan and rotis on the table and the staff was friendly. Restaurant had a good amount of foot traffic throughout our stay! Will definitely be our local go-to-Indian restaurant in the neighborhood!“

“I just took my friend to Downtown Dhaba for her birthday lunch. We both agree the food was wonderful. And we both had leftovers to have later. Service was very attentive, but not overbearing. My first time here, but I will be back.“

“Brilliant Food Brilliant Staff Brilliant Sevice Great Prices 5 Stars ⭐️“

“The food here is delicious.“

“Ordered the chicken curry lunch box and picked up within 45 mins. It came with a portion of chicken curry, chopped and sautéed red vegetables (I think it may have been beets), fluffy rice, moru curry (turmeric-infused buttermilk), mango pickle, fish curry, and a gulab jamun. (I substituted the default kingfish curry for "malabar fish curry" with salmon pieces instead - was blown away by its taste!). Everything was fresh and flavorful! I especially loved the fluffy rice, the moru curry, the spiciness of the chicken curry, and most of all, the flavor profile of the malabar fish curry! Would definitely come back and buy this combo again!

Parking: Street parking on slight incline. Street is fairly quiet and was somewhat filled but can still easily find parking.“

“Love ❤️ this place. Great food as always.“

“Great place. Excellent food. Courteous waiters an plenty of space. I'll never go down to Manhattan again for Indian food again. This place is right around the corner. I just an appetizer today, Chicken Chat. It was delicious. Give these guys some business , they deserve it.“

“I have been ordering from Agra Grill for years. The food quality is inconsistent, I suppose it depends on what cooks are in or maybe the cook's mood.

Every time I order, it's a gamble of how the food will turn out.

Whoever was in the shop on Saturday, October 5th... my hat is off to you. God bless your hands. I wish I knew who lead the kitchen that day. I would only order on days they are there.

May luck be in my favor and I am allowed to taste your food again!“

“The food is authentic and delicious! Great prices too.“

“This restaurant has been on me and my girlfriend’s list for a long time. We haven’t had the chance to even get out. We Both are city workers and are constantly on duty And never have the time to eat out but yesterday on Friday we had a chance to go out and we randomly walked up (while running from the rain) the street to this Lovely restaurant. I will say we were sat right away and as soon as I looked at the menu, I could tell that it was gonna be a good one. Had a lot experience with Indian cuisine and let me tell you that this spot did not disappoint not only was the garlic naan amazing but instead of getting one order samosas we got two orders, and they were honestly one of the best I have had in the city. Chose a simple Pannar dish And that was amazing too. I got my butter chicken, and it was one of the best that I have ever tasted. I will say that I will be going back….actually I will say we will be going back Sometime soon!!!
Thank you for the wonderful service and the food.
It was amazing“

“My favorite Indian food in the area. So delicious, with amazing service!“

“The food was delicious! The Samosa Chaat was amazing and cooked to perfection. I ordered the The chicken Tikka Masala mind and i loved it. Not spicy at all and the chicken was soft. Highly recommended this place 🥰“

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

“This is my favorite south asian restaurant in all of nyc. The ambience is simple, nothing fancy. But the flavors are incredible. The daal makhani is so good, not overly relying on the butter like at many restaurants. The Chana saag is probably my favorite though. The chow mein and momos also excellent. We get the lunch special whenever we can. Also the people who work here are so kind, and provide wonderful service. We look forward to each visit.“

“Love this place, I come here for the buffet, they always have good options. I love their Curry Goat, Chicken Masala, Chicken Tandoori, their starches and vegetarian options. There is always something new for me to try at Sitar, service is great and their naan is amazing, also their mango lassi. We love this place, my mom loves this place and all my friends love this place.“

“Best Indian food . Fresh cooking.“

“Nothing to say, just go there and eat buffet.

7 days lunch buffet.
Very decent price

Not too much fancy or too many items,
But, you will be your stomach full after the buffet.

Fresh food, clean and well cooked.

Taste is good.
Keep up the work guys.“

“amazing chicken very good very nice my tummy happy“

“Very good management. And they have all of product. Specially for halal shopping. Well done“

“Love ❤️ this place. Great food as always.“

“Just had an amazing lunch here. It is inside a small quick service joint called Tandoori Place so we almost missed it. So glad we found it, the vegan menu is pretty extensive. We had the vindaloo, spicy chili mushroom and tofu Tikka. Also samosas, potato croquet and the spring rolls. Everything was excellent, flavorful large portions. And the garlic Naan is out of this world. The manager is super nice and gave us coffee on the house. We'll be back.“

“Love this they have the most amazing staff here come and enjoyed a good meal .“

“Excellent food, and I'm very picky, usually prefer my food to that of restaurants. I'm mostly but not exclusively vegetarian. Wish I could eat lamb but can't. Love the Samosa chaat to start, and saag paneer, which is one of the best I've had. Tiny place but nice. The mixologist is GREAT and makes works of art. Give it a try!“

“Loved the food! We had ordered Veg pothichoru and it was amazing! Pazhampori was also delicious. I loved their service. They delivered food to our location. I definitely recommend Jomy's Grand Indian Restaurant!!“

“The quantity is quite large. Each parathas can be shared with 2 or 3 folks. We had their Aloo , halwa puri and omlete paratha for delivery.
The other day, we came across the restuarant on main street, surprised that it wasn't just a nook in the corner but very decent restuarant.“

“In my experience, this is the best Indian restaurant hands-down journal Square. I recently moved to Harrison and I will still come to journal Square to get Indian food from here. I don’t know what it is but their chicken is the best almost every dish is just amazing. I haven’t tried every dish, so can’t really comment on every single one, but I’ve never been disappointed. I’ve dined in and have taken out. The quality is so good here I swear lol“

“Went here based on old reviews and were disappointed to find it an Omni place. However, when we asked we were provided the old Aamber menu and were pleased to have so many vegan options. The tofu tikka masala was a bit sweet, but the bartha was fabulous. Nice service, too.“

“Amazing Authentic Indian Cuisine, we had the goat curry , Chicken Tandoori ( OMG so Fresh!!) , and Shrimp curry all with white rice . Food was tolerant spicy we asked for mild and it was just perfect, food was also cooked to perfection . Food feels very much home made , is not oily. The staff is super nice and friendly, the bus boy for our table Praveen was super attentive . Great place to have great healthy Indian food. I will try another level up in spice next time . Will definitely be back ! AAA+++“
