“Celebrated my daughter’s birthday here and it was fantastic! The food was delicious and perfectly spicy just as requested. The Chicken lal pari was tender and well-marinated, and the Chicken Parda Biryani served in the traditional clay pot was a highlight—full of flavor and perfectly cooked. We also ordered Chicken Vindaloo and Red Chilli Special Mix Grill. All dishes were absolutely delicious. The presentation, with the floral garnishes and elegant table setting, added such a nice touch to the meal.
Special thanks to Anuj, Dominic, Harsh, and Fahim for their incredible hospitality. They truly went above and beyond to make our celebration extra special. Thank you so much. Highly recommend for any occasion!“

“I’ve been walking by Pranam for quite some time and finally decided to come in - I can’t express how much I’m wishing I visited earlier! I’m blown away by the quality of the food and attentive service. The Momo were incredibly tender and perfectly seasoned and the entrees from varying places in Asia impressed me. Special shout out to the imported beers as well - I got the Nepal Ice beer and am now looking where to source it for myself. Truly a hidden neighborhood staple -
I encourage everyone to check this place out. You won’t be disappointed. Promise.“

“Unsuspecting, but amazing little spot for dosas.

I occasionally travel for work to Pune, Maharastra so, I definitely crave good Indian whenever I can find it. My boss knew of this spot (don’t ask me how).

It’s unassuming (in the basement of a temple) and the prices are accordingly quite humble (amazing given the location).

We started with vadas that came with unique, not that spicy green chutney and a pretty spicy sambar.

Then, on to dosas. I’m usually a masala dosa guy, but tried a Rava Dosa for the for the first. I think I may have a new favorite. It’s takes a bit longer, but the semolina base makes a really nice texture.

Everything was spicy and warm - as good as the food I love in India.

Should you find yourself here and you enjoy good Indian food, you should definitely stop in.“

“Both excellent food, and service. Highly recommended! Attentive service by Adnan.“

“I had a wonderful experience at this Indian restaurant! The atmosphere is warm and friendly, making it a perfect spot for gatherings. 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!“

“We recently visited Lassi lounge with another couple friend for dinner. The food , service, dessert was superb ,we are vegetarian so we felt like heavenly treat . Keep up the great taste and lots of best wishes , we will tell friends and family to put it in must go to eat list Amit Parikh“

“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.“

“Great food and great service.“

“Food is really good and servers are super kind! Price is also very affordable and great portions.
One note I would say is that the dine-in experience felt a bit empty, quiet and too bright, but the restaurant has already a really cute decor and set up. I suggest they just turn off the ceiling fluorescent lights, leaving on just the warm table lamps and add a bit of background music to make the atmosphere warmer and more appealing. This restaurant deserves to be full :)“

“We love eating at Kotha Restaurant! The food is always fresh and delicious, and the flavors are amazing. My kids also love it — it’s one of their favorite places to eat! The staff is friendly, and the service is great every time. Highly recommend Kotha for anyone looking for tasty and family-friendly food!“

“The place looks ambient with string lights. The food is phenomenal! Ordered the chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, samosa chaat, cheese naan, and mango lassi - they have delicious sauces on the side - brown sauce and the tomato are great. The staff are friendly, including Nita who was pleasant and took care of us, and even ran out to catch us and give my keys that I crumple-wrapped in a napkin and forgotten on the table. Prices are super reasonable compared to Jackson Heights Indian places and you get your money's worth with how big the servings are. Highly recommend, hidden gem!“

“great food and amazing service! Amina is a superb hostess!“

“Tasty delicious food I would go again.“

“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“

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

“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!!“

“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.“

“The best in NYC. Must try at-least once.“

“I put in an online pick up order and for some reason, their system got it late. They doubled my samosa order. Not only that, it was one of the best samosas I have ever had. I had taken them to a party and everyone was in love with them. They seem like a family business and are really nice people. I look forward to trying their other dishes.“

“The food here is absolutely amazing. The home style chicken curry is a A. Everything they cook is beyond tasty 😋. The owners are like family to me. I always come with my husband and daughter and they make sure I am well taking care of. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Came here for some authentic Bengali food. Loved the food here. Everyone was very hospitable. The food was very expensive for what you get. Pricing is a little ambiguous since there’s no upfront prices once you walk in and if you order the food on the display. We paid over a $100 for everything on the picture but taste was good.“

“Best butter chicken i’ve ever had!! There’s options to allow for spice levels which makes it great to order for groups. We ordered take out and the owner was nice enough to throw in an extra naan for us, thank you! Sauce was very flavorful, great portions of chicken. Even the plain white rice had wonderful hints of herbs and cardamom. Naan was soft, filled with cheese and huge portion for the price. Will be back!“

“Delicious food with a beautiful view!“

“good food, halal meat served.“

“Was in the area to pick up some groceries and ventured into this local Indian restaurant that offered vegetable and protein food items. Ordered a samosa chat, two extra potato samosas, chicken kebabs, and chicken tikka masala. The chicken breast chunks were very tender in the tikka masala sauce, and the chicken kebabs were delicious.“
