The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff is friendly and attentive, making the experience even better. Perfect for a special night out or a casual dinner—highly recommend!“

“I order from here regularly. Their biryani is probably one of the best in Brooklyn arguably.“

“When I walked in the restaurant the delicious aromas let me know I made a good choice. The food was absolutely amazing with vegan/vegetarian options and even a complimentary gluten free appetizer. The staff was welcoming and the service great. The prices were reasonable, but the best part was the delicious food!!“

“One of the best meals I’ve had out in a long time. Everything here from the service to the ambience was amazing! For appetizers we had the biyebarir fish fry and the aloo chaat, both were spicy but we found ourselves wanting more. The entrees stepped it up a notch with the prawn malai kari and the kosha mangshu which were 100% worth coming back for. Our server Zaraith was extremely knowledgeable and guided us through the entire meal and the manager Joy was very hospitable. Will be back soon for sure, thank you Unapologetic for the experience!“

“Ordered Indika House for delivery. I was honestly expected some mid-quality food due to how reasonably-priced their takeout meal deal was. But boy, was I wrong; everything was delicious, fresh, and warm.

I’ve been to some Indian places that try to hide stale / dry chicken with curry, but the meat in Indika House’s butter chicken was tender and melt-in-your-mouth. My expectations for the Aloo Tikki were also low, I’ve had places serve it like a dry, seasoned hockey puck. But Indika House’s version was crispy and flakey on the outside and soft, flavorful on the inside.

So thrilled to have another regular takeout spot added to our list!“

“Very good food. Creative and interesting dishes. The environment is also nice and calm.“

“The gentleman that waited on our table was excellent! The food was flavorful and delicious!!“

“Our group chose this restaurant twice when deciding where to meet. Every meal I've had here was enjoyable. A clean restaurant with charming elements. Workers here balance helpful service with sincere friendliness. The restaurant's location is perfect and we experienced good service throughout.“

“The best authentic Indian food in Brooklyn! Definitely try the butter chicken and lamb shank, you won’t be disappointed. Great service! Thank you Mohammed 👍🏼“

“Amazing, clean food. Amazing vibe. A favorite in NYC. I could eat Inday everyday!“

“Great to have some solid momos in the area!
Came on a Saturday night and we sat down right away. The servers were very friendly and took the time to explain each part of the Thali we got.

Food:
- veg thali (4/5) - this is definitely a good bang for your buck, given that you can ask for refills. My favorite was the pea dish.
- veg jhol mojos (4.5/5) - nice deep flavor, the momos were solid. I’d be curious to try the chili ones and the fried ones next time.
- mango lassi (5/5) - everything you want mango lassi to be.

The vibe was pretty causal and they have a few tables for sit down“

“We love dining or getting takeout from Indian Kitchen. All of the vegetarian and meat based dishes are exceptional. Everything tastes fresh and high quality. When dining in, the service is always superb. They give great recommendations and sometimes a free rice pudding :)“

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

“Ordered take out and it was delicious- this is not your average NYC Indian food. The lamb chennai was tender with complex layers of flavor that came together in a soothing warmth. The samosa chaat was delicious.
My friend did say that the dosa was more vinegary than usual and the saag paneer was not as finely done- so there may be some inconsistencies in the kitchen. But overall, I was delighted.“

“Family environment. delicious food and better service. I prefer to order my food in Spice and Grill“

“Had dinner here with a friend and really enjoyed the meal. Saag Panner and chicken Korma were especially terrific. We ordered on appetizer that wasn’t what we expected and the owner and the chef came over and explained the dish and suggested an alternative which they gladly swapped out. Service was terrific. Personal and attentive. Definitely recommended.“

“Good food and excellent service!“

“Very good food & friendly staff. Will definitely go back Wish they had a liquor license 🤗✌🏽“

“We were walking by and decided to go in because the space looked beautiful. As soon we walked in, it felt like we stepped in a different dimension because all the outdoor noise got cancelled out (they must gave made it soundproof). We were so well taken care of, immediately got water and EXTREMELY friendly staff! And the food!!! There should be another review dedicated for DELICIOUSNESS of the food!!! Naans were to die for!!! The staff were kind, helpful, friendly and respectful!! They even gave us kheer (rice pudding) at the end on the house ?✨????

All in all, go check them out. It’s unusual to find good Indian/Pakistani restaurants around here ?

Vegetarian options: It’s Indian so there’s more vegetarian options than your typical vegetarian restaurant! And too far too delicious ✨“

“I have been going to this restaurant for years. It offers an exceptional culinary experience with bold, authentic flavors and warm hospitality. Service was attentive without being overbearing. Whether you’re a fan of Indian cuisine or new to it, this spot is a must-visit for anyone seeking a delicious and memorable meal.“

“From Texas With LOVE for DHANIA! I am from TX where South Asian food is in competition to be better. 6 ****** Rating, Why? I am an Expert of Bengali/Indian/Pakistani food due to my involvement to provide bi-weekly food to our congregations of up to 500 members. Our food is mainly Bengali/Indian/Pakistani dishes and some outside items like salads/sweets etc. I mostly cook the main dishes MYSELF. During my visit to NY I dined in few restaurants. I never ate in any NY restaurants before. Dera rest: C+; 3 star Lahore rest: B-; 3.5 star Kababish: C-; 2 star Alibaba Kabab near Bufalo: B+; 4 star Few fast-food restaurants. Now the Main subject DHANIA restaurant, A++; 6 Star Restaurant is Very Clean, Nice atmosphere. Food came in reasonable time. If food comes quickly then thats not good for S. Asian food. Cauliflower was fantastic! Samosas were very good! Chatney awesome. Chicken Tikka was great! Biriyani & butter chicken was Excellent! Naan was fine & soft! Not hard or burned as some other places. Since I ordered catering for my congregation from many restaurants in Houston, I became an expert in S. Asian food. Dhania really surpassed my expectations and surprised me in NY. Wish them the best. Keep serving the best food!“

“Really great addition to the neighborhood. Great spices, tender meat, and all the family charm. Perfect place for a no-fuss casual meal or takeout with all the flavors of a fancy spot. The owners are extremely kind people that make the experience exceptional. :)“

“The samosas were delicious and I also enjoyed the mixed vegetable pakoras. I tried the roganjosh which was quite tender and very flavorful. I had it with the basmati rice it came with and some garlic naan bread along with a creamy white sauce and herb sauce. Absolutely delicious! The curry, the garlic naan, the sauces…. I loved it. I thought the meat was a little gamey but I enjoyed it! I also got the chicken tikka masala which does have a sweeter flavor which I had seen in other reviews, but the chicken is very tender, and the mild flavor is definitely good for people who don’t want spice. The portions were a nice size in pint containers and filled with meat and curry sauce and everything else came on the side so you could really build your own perfect Indian dinner plate.“

“Good food, good 👍 place, although not too spacious enough for simple dine-in. Other than that, nothing much to fault it. At least the food is good 👍 for either dine-in or takeout. And it's quite calm and peaceful in this cafe, which is definitely a positive experience to take away from this place.“

“really great food, along with service. will definitely recommend 👌 to others.“

“Bombay Grill House may be the BEST Indian restaurant in New York! The food tasted out of this world, the service was magnificent, and the atmosphere was unimaginable! When I smelt the aroma my mouth started drooling!🤤🤤 The workers bring the food out hot and fresh, I don't know anything bad I could say about this Indian restaurant!“

“Good food 🥘 Great environment“

“Restaurant atmosphere is very good, Waiter were very friendly, and the food test is amazing.
I was there for lunch order chicken biriyani,chicken tikka masala, garlic nan. Every dish was so delicious. Lastly i had rasmalai...it was really fantastic😋

Highly recommend for all“

“Amazing place to get authentic Pakistani food. I love the way the place is decorated. Food is always fresh and they have really good Falooda and Kulfi. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for good Pakistani food. And if you want to try Salmon like you’ve never had before, this is the place. I don’t think I’ve had fish that tasted so good in my life. I’d highly recommend trying that.“

“The restaurant was very welcoming, i felt at home. I ordered the chicken curry and butter chicken (Call me vanilla but you cant go wrong with that) it came with a huge side of rice. I also got samosa and garlic nann. Stop by you wont be disappointed.“

“Believe the rating - this place is the best Indian food in the city. The first time I went here, I sat next to an older Indian woman who boldly proclaimed the lamb curry was the best she’d ever had in her life. She was right - the meet is so tender and the curry is perfectly balanced. Even the naan - it’s textural and flavor perfection. Come here, be happy“

“We had an amazing experience here—the food was absolutely incredible! As a family of four, we usually have a hard time finding a place that satisfies both our picky little eaters and our more gourmet cravings, but this spot hit the mark perfectly.

We ordered the soups, grilled chicken, and butter chicken—every dish was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. The butter chicken, in particular, was rich, creamy, and unforgettable. The Lassi was also a standout—refreshing and perfectly balanced.

The service was exceptional: warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. This restaurant is truly a jewel in Brooklyn, and we can’t wait to come back. Highly recommended for families and food lovers alike!“

“I love the food en general“

“The Tandoori Chicken came out on a sizzling platter with lots of onions and peppers and was excellent, and a good portion besides. The other dishes and the hot nan were also excellent, as well as the friendly service. Great Indian food without leaving Brooklyn! Don't forget to BYO beer and wine from the store a block away.“

“The front of the restaurant is not exactly inviting because of the fluorescent blue tinted lighting. However, you can’t judge this space based off of its cover. In the back, there is a cute elevated terrace with several tables with nice lighting.

Rasidul was just a delight. He was attentive without hovering and seemed so earnest at every interaction. The food came out really quickly and he made sure to give us water immediately.

We will be back!“

“First time I ever ate anywhere completely alone but the staff welcomed me and the food was amazing and authentic! Just like India!“

“Best for Indian & Nepali cuisine in town.“

“Top fine Indian cuisine in Brooklyn, Love every bite the food is excelente, yum yum ;)“

“great atmosphere great food“

“One of the cleanest Indian kitchen/restaurant definitely must dine in to experience the food ps the dhal, garlic naan, rack of lamb is a must try“

“Ordered pickup to go. Staff was nice. 10/10. Food was piping hot by the time I got home 20ish minutes later. Portion size is good for the price. I wasn’t super familiar with Indian food before I ordered & wanted to try a bunch. I got the chicken tikka masala, lamb handi, veg biryanis, garlic and cheese naan, & paratha plain. Very flavorful. I will order again.

Vegetarian options: Most dishes have veggie option“

“Delicious food! Ordered take-out and everything was well-made and well-spiced. Tikka Masala, ordered at medium spicy, was the best I've had in the area, and their Achari Begun, an eggplant dish, was also fantastic. Highly recommend for a nice casual dinner.“

“Chole and poori were delicious. Ample amount of food, 1 order of a dish can be shared between 2–3 people.
Food was not spicy at all, so if you prefer this , request so.
Music was not loud, so can still have conversation.
They have other locations too.“
