“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.“

Personal and attentive. Definitely recommended.“

“I live within walking distance from Cardamom restaurant and eat there often. The food is consistently excellent, and the people are always welcoming. Highly recommended! If you're not in the neighborhood, it's easy to get there on the subway (it's right between the 40th St. and 46th St. stations on the 7 subway line on Queens Blvd).“

“Large menu selection of veg, non-veg, desi and Indian-Chinese cuisine along with great food quality and professional service are the key factors of success with Aanch.

The service was outstanding. Mr. Appy was very sweet, kind and attentive, and made sure we were comfortable and had a great experience.
Great food, great service, and a lovely ambiance. Highly recommend!“

“The best Indian food in the Bellerose/Floral Park area. Food is very delicious and owner and staff are very friendly. I order from here frequently and the quality of the food is very consistent/good. Alo Gobi, Bindi, channa masala, Gobi Manchurian, paneer makhani, chili paneer are some of my favorites.“

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

“Seriously the best Saag Paneer I've had, ever. So flavorful! My husband had some extra spicy Lamb Vindaloo and he was in spice heaven. Service was friendly and we couldn't figure out why there was no one else here on a Saturday night! Hidden gem that is well worth the very reasonable prices. Will be coming back!“

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

“Awsome food❤️❤️❤️ Reasonable Price Spacious Parking“

“Just wow!! The food is amazing! It’s a festival of flavors. Highly recommend the biryani with jackfruit- I’d never seen anything like that before, but the flavor, texture and colors were spectacular. Service is wonderful too- food comes out fast and piping hot, server lovely guy. New favorite Indian restaurant!!“

“We had a late lunch here today. We used to love getting Indian food in the East Village, but having moved to Brooklyn, we were looking for a great place as our go-to in the neighborhood.

It was amazing!

The food was way beyond our expectations. The service was attentive and friendly. Maybe there weren’t a million chili peppers hanging from the ceiling, but it was nice and quiet and just what we were looking for. Did I mention the food? I ate more than I meant to, and still had leftovers to take home.

We went for lunch, and the value was beyond belief. But I looked at the dinner menu, and the prices weren’t much higher.

If you are in the Bed-Stuy or Crown Heights areas, make this a must. If you love Indian food, you will love Bombay Grill!

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Service is fast and food is consistently delicious. Easily the best lunch deal in the area. I think about the lamb curry at least once a week. Beautifully inviting interior setting. Genuinely friendly staff. Cannot praise this place enough!“

“I love the food, the attention it's so good 👍🏻“

“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“

“We got take out and it was excellent, great Indian flavors, nice portions. I am vegetarian so all of the veggie dishes we have ordered have been delicious. The food is fresh and not oily. Great Indian spice. Highly recommend!
Also Omar and staff are generous kind people.“

“I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the chef for preparing such an exceptional meal. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of rich, balanced flavors. The attention to detail was remarkable from the perfect seasoning to the freshness of the ingredients, everything came together wonderfully.“

“Wow such lovey place, when I be there I wanna be just chill with imagine drink 🍹 & food! Just love it 🥰“

“Excellent service and food 🥘“

“everything was phenomenal! standout dishes for me were the biryani & the goan fish curry. the biryani had such a depth of flavor & the raita was the perfect pairing. the goan fish curry had a coconut-y flavor & the texture of the fish was perfect.
a lovely surprise was the gulab jamun at the end - probably the best gulab jamun i’ve ever had! soft & warm & so fresh!

other dishes we got were the chicken tikka masala, bhelpuri & papri chaat, and of course garlic naan. not a single dish disappointed!“

“Perfect little neighborhood spot. PRICING BREAKDOWN AT BOTTOM REVIEW.

Good vibe, quiet, could happily talk to my friends, owner was super friendly and accommodating. Most def will be back, especially with the temps coming down.

Most plates are $16 (December 2025)
Chicken Tandoori was grilled perfectly with that classic sear. Meat was tender and perfectly cooked.

Chicken Tikka Masala and Vindaloo were also so delicious. Personally, if I came back I would get Chicken Vindaloo, but I prefer spice. This will definitely have you blowing your nose.

Garlic naan was so light, could have had a whole basket to myself.

Samosas, easily could have 12 by myself, no joke.

PRICING: Came with 3 friends, we did family for every dish mentioned that owner so generously threw in a huge bowl of rice to split, WITH TIP , total came out to $90.

1x Tandoori
1x Tikka Masala
1x Vindaloo
2x Garlic Naan
1.5x Samosa (owner a la carted since typical order comes with two so he just charged us for 1.5 since it was 3 of us)
1x water for the table“

“I highly recommend this establishment“

“Retro Indian songs, home like food, if you are a paratha fan, and miss ur mom's paranthe, this place is the one for you. The best part is Central park is nearby, so once you are done with ur parantha, you can walk and relax in ur food coma slump!!!!!“

“Stayed close by. Needed a night cap and this place looked interesting. When you walk in it’s like WOW…I wasn’t expecting that! Then I asked Wil, the bartender about the cocktail options. All I can say is try the Indian Spiced Old Fashioned!! A must! Then I’m told they have a Happy Hour from 10pm to close Sun to Thursday…what?? So off course I had another. This time the Hot Toddy Royale…a perfect end of night drink. As I browse the food menu I am so disappointed I ate dinner before I came here. I am definitely coming back for food, drink, and great chats!“

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

“I came here on the 6th of February. I was greeted by Basudeb. The restaurant was so beautiful. He was kind and helped me pick from the menu. I was the only one there. I ordered from the lunch special. I got Butter Chicken with basmati rice, onion kulcha naan, and lentil soup (Chana masala). Everything was delicious and spicy. Not too spicy but the kick was amazing. The bread was fresh and hot. The chicken was very tender and savory. The rice was not too mushy or dry. I paid $17 for everything and it was worth it. A 10/10😍“

“Great place & delicious food! We had tandoori meat mix which is shrimp,lamb chicken and camel meat i believe. All very tasty!

Chicken Tikka was great as well! Garlic naan was perfection! Love this place and great host!

Most definitely coming back sometime“

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

“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!“

“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!!!!!“

“We recently had Vicky Vij catering the wedding of our daughter. All I have to say is they are exceptional in all ways-- service, food quality and taste, hospitality, price. Vicky went the extra mile to make sure that every thing was perfect. All the quests appreciated and the compliments were endless. I wish Vicky Vij the best and wish that his name is not tarnished by others.“

“Best Indian food in this area. The food is prepared to your taste. Restaurant has a nice and pleasant decor. The ambiance is very relaxing, and you can have a conversation without screaming. The host is very welcoming and knowledgeable about the menu. You are never rushed and can leisurely enjoy your meal.“

“I’ve been coming here for as long as they’ve been open and it’s one of my favorites for dine in or takeout. Butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, lamb vindaloo, and lamb biryani are the go to’s and are all delicious. Naan and garlic naan are always great. Big fan of the vegetable samosa’s, too. I will agree with some other reviews that the service is a little on the slower side but that’s something that doesn’t bother me too much, I honestly prefer slower service vs. feeling like I’m being rushed out of a place. If you’re looking for some good Indian in Forest Hills, this is a good place to start.“
