“It’s usually pretty quiet here when I tend to go for lunch. The service has always been great and attentive. The portions are big I can rarely finish what I order. The best part is the pricing - I typically order a main with rice & naan and a couple glasses of wine and I always feel like I’m getting a deal. Definitely recommend!“

Perfect for anyone craving authentic South Indian tiffin without breaking the bank.“

When the staff learned that we were celebrating a birthday luncheon, they kindly paused the music during our cake cutting and even played the "Happy Birthday" song on the big screen. Such a thoughtful touch! The veg platter/thali was delicious, and I highly recommend trying the masala chai as it's a must! Overall, I give this place a well deserved 5 stars!“

“Every time I come I have the best time with my friends and the food hits the spot consistently. We dove right into the meal we forgot to take pictures. But we had a lot of clean plates leftover.

Chicken steamed momos: demolished (sauce was fought over)
Samosa chat: crispy and flavorful
Garlic Tika: came on a sizzling hot plate. Charred chicken and veggies was in perfect balance

Love the place!“

“My best friend lives in Queens so she and I come to the Onion Tree every other Friday night. I wish this place was closer to me. I live in Yonkers. The food is superb, seasoned extraordinarily. The chicken is fresh, soft and cut into small bites. I always order chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, or chicken tikka pizza. I have never had food that I enjoyed this much and I have tried all foods all over the world. I never get tired of this place. And the food is served quickly and piping hot. They’re opening a second place in Manhattan. We’re getting closer to Yonkers!! The drinks are awesome too. Barbra and Louis work behind the bar. They’re friendly and great bartenders.“

“The food is AMAZING and so is the customer service!!! I have been trying a bunch of spots in the area but this is by far the best. The samosas chat is so fresh and the chutneys are great. Pani puri is so flavorful too the perfect amount of tang and spice. Very affordable and a great variety of vegetarian options. Every-time I come in, they manage to put a smile on my face for the rest of the day. Can’t wait to come back again.“

YOU ARE THE BEST KOMAL JI.“

“Dey have rell ting fuh so an d place does always be busy, wid d occasional bacchanal behind d counter an in d kitchen, so yuh kno yuh gettin ah gud food.

Triniciti pholourie bowl have d biggest pholourie I ever see in my life (d ting properly sauced down too), issa must. Plain doubles ong is d best. Saltfish pie euphoric but is d fresh bake n shark daiz justice. Meat in d curry goat roti was a lil on d tough side, but other than that, fantastic (excellent dhalpuri, curry sauce, pumpkin, aloo, chana, bodi)!

If you've never visited and plan to stop by as a walk in customer, join the line/queue to place your order at the hot food counter (a staff member will greet you). There are several menus posted on the walls (some are on pieces of paper, then there's a huge menu above the area where the staff prepares/boxes up the orders).

After you place your order with a staff member they'll prepare/box it and send it over to the cashier. All you have to do is stay in line and wait until you get to the register to pay for your order.

While you're waiting in line, there's bread (hops, coconut bake, sada roti, etc), pastries, desserts (cassava pone, etc), and snacks (tunnock's milk chocolate caramel wafers, big foot, cheezees, tamarind ball, etc) that you can take to the register to add to your order.

There's also currant rolls, pepper sauce, red mango, plum, cherries, coconut drop, (i think i saw toolum?), etc, BEHIND the counter too! So if you see those items and you want to add them to your order, just let the cashier know when you get to the register.

There's cold beverage fridges behind the cashiering counter, so you can get a cold drink (homemade sorrel, mauby, peardrax, ginger beer, seamoss punch, peanut punch, etc).

If you're in line, please don't skip anyone, you might (will most definitely) get cuss by other customers, on top of which you will be politely asked to leave by staff (there's a rule about it, posted quite visibly on the walls).

If you don't want to stand in line or the ordering experience is a little overwhelming during your first visit because it's busy, you can place and pay for your order at one of the kiosks (there's 2 of them to the front of the restaurant). Then you can wait, either seated or standing, to collect it at the kiosk/pick up area which is right next to the kiosks (they'll call your name).“

“Had Upma and Masala Chai today at Dosa Hutt . Everything was fresh and the best. Very clean restaurant.“

“Found this place as “Desi Vegan” on google maps, which doesn’t seem to actually exist but is just a sub-menu of this place or something like that. The restaurant itself is definitely a bit of a hole in the wall—just a few tables and no physical menus or anything—but don’t judge a book by its cover. We had some of the best Indian food we’ve had anywhere, and a full vegan lunch for two was like $25. Super authentic, and extremely nice people working there too, even gave us a couple of free samosas as we headed out. I think this’ll be our new go-to spot for the one time a year we fly out of JFK and are driving by near here Updated from previous review on 2026-01-11“

“I came in for a meeting and the atmosphere was so calm that me and the people I was meeting with were able to get everything done. The food was a plus since the food here is very good. We got the margarita pie and chicken tikka pie. Both were very good with their signature sauce. 10/10 must come again.“

“Never been disappointed with the food from New Thriving Restaurant here on 120-12 Liberty Ave. Queens!!! Can't get enough of the Jerk Chicken LoMein or Garlic chicken chow mein!!! Not to mention they serve you man size portion plates and with friendly/pretty smiles... I'm giving them 5 Stars on the food and service alone!!“

“Amazing food and a wonderful experience! Everything we ordered was fresh and full of flavor. The restaurant was clean, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. A special thanks to Simran for her excellent service. She was friendly, polite, and made sure we had everything we needed. Her kindness made our visit even more enjoyable.“

“We had the pleasure of using Punjabi Dhaba catering company for our wedding, and Nav the owner, exceeded every expectation. The food was not only absolutely delicious, but the presentation was stunning. The variety and diversity of dishes created a beautiful display that impressed all of our guests from the moment they walked into the Langar Hall.“

“This is a great place for the younger and older crowd!! The food is great 👍“

“Haideri Pan Shop stands out as the top destination in town for premium paan and a variety of delicious food items. The owner, along with his courteous staff, is known for his humility and respected presence.

“We just had our Frnd Ashirbad on Sep 27,2024. We had 250 guests attend our wedding. Every single guest told us it was the absolute best Ashirbad they’ve EVER attended. The Agra Palace Restaurant & Party Hall was absolutely AMAZING for us! From communication, care, attentiveness, they went above and beyond for every single one of our wants and needs. The catering quality is outstanding.Special shoutout to Tareq and Mamun bhai for arranging and coordinating for us, to helping us figure out exactly how to bring our vision to life- they were EXTRAORDINARY! Our frnd Monisha and Aurgo were outstanding on Ashirbad day, making sure everything went perfectly for our special day. We are beyond grateful for everything that The Agra Place Restaurant & party Hall did for us. They made our frnd Ashirbad truly the most magical and memorable days of our lives!“
