Indian Restaurants near Long Island City

“delicious yummy Indian food.“

“it was really amazing .i really loved and enjoyed“

“One of the best Indian restaurants in NYC and a big step up from the sister restaurant Semma. The food here is delicious, satisfying, with decent portions and excellent presentation. The food is great, and it’s a special experience. Staff are friendly, the service is great. The cocktails are presented very nicely, but nothing wowed us. I’m here for the food and the service - and I couldnt be happier with that!“

“After having brunch here I will definitely be back for their dinner service.

Definitely worth checking out. Tried the biscuits & gravy, full 2.0, pancakes all were solid renditions of the traditional meal with a twist.

Callout - The French press is a full French press not just a personal sized one“

“Best food ever“

“Had an amazing dinner at Junoon! The atmosphere is elegant and cozy. The staff was friendly and knew the menu well. Every dish was full of rich, authentic flavors, and the presentation was beautiful. Loved the creative desserts too. Definitely a top spot for Indian fine dining in NYC!“

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

“After eating so much (pizza etc )we needed to eat something different, spicy and booked this gem,as it as near to our hotel. It was also our 40th wedding anniversary. We are from U.K. This was amazing perfectly cooked tasty home made authentic Indian cuisine. We had mocktails ( lavender was refreshing ). The tandoori lamb chops x4 were full meat seasoned beautifully and delicious. All other sides perfect too. Now in U.K. we hate restaurant Indian puddings they are usually bought in and awful/failure. After finding out the chef is the owner and a recipient Michelin star we were convinced to stay,try and this was the first time we have had authentic home made puddings; try Kulfi with rose water & also Indian rice pudding. The whole meal was exceptional great value and we will recommend this restaurant to anyone else visiting New York. Easy to find off Times Square /Broadway. Thanks for the rendition “ congratulations “ for our 40th. You are great ! A little gem of authenticity in big New York !“

“Absolutely amazing meal! Was recommended to us by a friend, and we recommend it to you. A quick walk from our Broadway show, the meal was a perfect night cap. The mango margaritas were the perfect combo of sweet and spice; the cauliflower appetizer was bold and perfectly crunchy; the aloo gobi was wonderfully catered to our spice level and still full of flavor; the flaan was to die for. Resturant manager Rakesh Arban did an awesome job taking care of us. The atmosphere included colorful decor, mellow ambiance, and easy to talk to one another despite a somewhat full resturant.

There are stairs down to the entrance door. There are two single stall restrooms. The price was very reasonable given it's location and portion sizes.“

“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!!“

“An excellent hidden gem in the midst of busy midtown. A touch of mystery behind velvet curtains where felt red booth couches await in an intimate and welcoming atmosphere. The set up is chic and not cluttered with tables well spaced for the quiet work lunch. We went for restaurant week, and had the chicken tandoori starter which was perfectly spiced and delicious, followed by lamb curry which was tender, soaked in flavour, accompanied by garlic naan and rice. Staff are friendly and service oriented, in lusing the host. I cannot fault anything. Will definitely make this a regular spot to try the other items on the menu.“

“what a fantastic place!! the manager was so sweet and always checked in on me and my boyfriend. super considerate of all his guests, and even treated us to complimentary rice pudding at tne end of our meal.

we recieved papadam as a small and delicious appetizer, then ordered wonderful samosas, amazing butter chicken and rice, and sweet and mango lassi. everything was beyond excellent, and i definitely reccomend stopping by. theres so much on the menu, and you won't be disappointed!“

“I was pleasantly surprised with the great meal I had here. I would give it 5 stars but one of appetizers was below par (pani puri)but the rest of the dishes were excellent. The Hoth paan drink was super tasty!! Worth going to even though a tad expensive but it’s NYC!“

“Semma in New York City is widely celebrated for its heritage-focused approach, bringing rare and authentic Southern Indian flavors to a stylish, relaxed setting.“

“Very good food quality like the taste“

“Truely Homely Indian food“

“Good People - Great Food - just Go! Food so Fresh!“

“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!“

“I had my birthday party with Passerine and it was incredible! The event coordinator McQueenie, all the waitstaff, our server Catie, the host and sommelier, every single person was absolutely amazing. Some of the best service I have ever received and the food was divine.

I highly recommend the aloo dumplings and cabbage. They surprised me the most. The cook on all the meat was beyond perfect. The beef melted in my mouth and the chicken was perfectly tender. Chef Shetty is a genius. We had a 3 course prix fixe and they printed custom menus for me with my name in the header! That was a lovely souvenir for us to take home. Every dish was 10/10. Thank you Passerine for the best birthday!

Passerine is vegetarian and halal friendly. They also have mocktails and teas for those that don't drink!“

“I heard that it’s really hard to get reservations but I luckily snag one. My fav appetizer is the shrimp. The railway chicken curry is the best dish. I was disappointed with roasted pineapple, nothing special. The rose ice cream is the highlight!“

“Incredible restaurant and food! Chandu had great service and overall highly recommend!“

“Great food, great service and value for the money. Great atmosphere“

“the customer service was amazing! I’ll definitely be recommending this place to others“

“Amazing and Awesome Food.“

“Amazing food. Loved the service given by the people around there. I really didn't expect to get such a good service at such an hour I;e 11:30am in the morning, that too on a weekday( Tuesday). The ambiance was neat and good. Highly recommend the lollipop dry and the goat dum Biryani that was suggested by the person over there. Perfect in flavours. Highly recommended for people who just loves food and flavours.“

“Siempre que puedo lo visito, me encanta su ambiente y su comida 💕🇮🇳🇪🇨“

“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!“

“waiter was good food was too good.not expensive..like it“

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

“Visiting the city and thought of trying Indian. I must say I am impressed. The food was authentic, tasted absolutely delicious and Suresh (the host) was very hospitable. His servive was impeccable. They have amazing music and the ambience feels very lively. Would definitely visit again.“

“I had the Murg Makhani...which is grilled chicken in a tomato butter sauce. Expertly spiced and absolutely delish...and I finished off the sauce with a combination of garlic and butter naan. I cooled my palate with Tak Mahal beer. A wonderful experience! BTW: the service was outstanding.“

“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.“

“Butter chicken, goat doori kebab is to die for. Roomali Roti - just had it after ages. No doubt NYC has an Indian restaurant which can compete with the likes of Dum Pukht in India.“

“Food was fabulous. We had a large party and tried their lamb chops, Okra, daal and bbq chicken with real charcoal flavor. Fresh tandoori roti just made everything better.show stopper was the gulab jamun créme burlee. I visit aroqa eventide I am in NYC. Their drinks are next level, taste and presentation both.“

“Delicious authentic Indian cuisine with flavours actually doing a dhamaka - explosion of flavors as you eat it. Great service. One feedback - for such a happening restaurant the restroom is quite shoddy“

“Very fairly priced South Indian vegetarian restaurant/canteen in Flushing, located in the basement of the temple. The food was delicious and at the same time wasn't too oily. Although, the snacks were a bit on the expensive end, I felt, but definitely a must-visit.“

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

“Excellent food and friendly service“

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

“Went for the Holi lunch. The food was really amazing—hats off to the chef for such delicious dishes. However, the lunch service was not well managed. We were asked to arrive a little early so everyone could start lunch at 1 pm, but the food was served about 40 minutes late. We had to wait for quite a long time, which was disappointing.

It would have been much better if some snacks or even the mango lassi (which was part of the lunch) had been served when guests arrived so that people didn’t have to stay hungry while waiting for the food.

The food quality was excellent, but improving service, management, and punctuality would make the overall experience truly amazing. 😊“

“I tried the Mutton Sula Kabab and Chicken Signature Masala, both were absolutely delicious and had the real taste ! The fluffy garlic naan made the meal even more special. The staff were so friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. Absolutely worth every bite.“

“Vegetarian food is spot on! Fresh and tasty main appetizers, especially aloo tikki with chole and bhel puri. Dal makhani and paneer makhana were fingerlicking. Rasmalai was so so good. Try this place if you are around. My friend tried Chicken biryani and wasn't convince but rest all were amazing. Friendly staff.“

“amazing food and service. thank you!“

“AMANDEEP SINGH! you are ONE HECK OF A HOST! 5 million stars for this guy! he suggested us the food we should order, literally changed our WHOLE order, and ..... and.... we L O V E D it! he is an amazing host, a whole hearted man, fun to be around, and his food is out of this world. I am glad we came to this restaurant. We are gonna come again. My date night, ended with the best food I had in NY so far. Cheers for the restaurant, and double cheers for Amandeep“

“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.“

“Amazing Food. Excellent staff. So kind and mindful of our requests. We went with our baby and one of the staff gave my little kiddo Valentine’s flower. She kept dancing all the time.
We ordered Shrimp in main course but we thought it was not a main course dish to eat with rice so gave us extra gravy of butter chicken. We also ordered Paneer Khurchan which is very unique and delicious. Didn’t say No to anything we asked.
To top it all, they gave us delectable rasmalai desert with chocolate strawberry. So delicious.
We all enjoyed our valentine’s dinner.“

“First time visited Jersey City My goodness the food was so delicious, the server was amazing and friendly feels so much like home. Highly recommended for you guys to try.“

“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).“
