“I went last week to TKRC on McDougal in the evening! The two men (I forgot their names but two young non Indian gentlemen who were there between 6-7:30pm) helped me with my large order! They were fantastic!!!! One even suggested the crepe place across the street which was AMAZING! To whoever owns this particular store, those two men were excellent spokespeople for your business, really took care to speak to me with courtesy and friendliness and in no uncertain terms….. were the best! I LOVE the food but with these two men represting your business, I would come back for the lovely service too 🥰🥰 To these two gentlemen…. You are the best 🍻“

“The food tastes clean and thoughtfully prepared. The team is wonderfully kind and flexible, serving food quickly. Tasty meals, affordable prices and staff who care about customers. The portion was adequate for sharing purposes. The incentives to try this place are many.“

“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!“

“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 !“

“Had a wonderful dinner experience at Adda tonight. The food was exceptional. The chefs know what to do with the spices to create some of the best flavors in all of these dishes. The curry leaf crab is a must! All the dishes were great. But the one of the best bites we had was a simple yet so flavorful kulfi popsicle desert that was dipped in strawberry cream sauce. Also what was top of the line was the service. Our server Swayam was a delight. He was the kindest person with a great personality. He was very knowledgeable about all the items and was a great help with recommendations. Service was a 10 out of ten. It’s hard to get a reso here, but that means everyone is going here. This restaurant is a must.

“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!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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!“

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

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

“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.“

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

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

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

“Rudra Indian Bistro on Cedar Lane is authentic as it gets. We have been here so many times and will always keep coming back because the food is high quality, healthy, and very delicious. We always start with the House Salad which is a great way to begin your meal. The Tandoori chicken is so juicy and succulent, and the Lamb Korma is one of our favorites. I highly recommend Rudra Indian Bistro! One of the best restaurants of Teaneck...“

“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’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.“

“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.“

“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“

“Chola is easily the best Indian restaurant in all of Manhattan and Northern Jersey. My wife and I drive in bi-weekly for their awesome food and ever changing menu. The staff is incredible and friendly, we've gotten to know them all and consider them personal friends at this point. Any time we can, we take friends and family to Chola. It's is the best!“

“Excellent food and friendly service“

“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.“

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

“We were invited to a birthday dinner, and it was such a wonderful experience! The interior décor was absolutely stunning, creating the perfect ambiance for the evening. The food was incredible — every appetizer and the main course were delicious and beautifully presented. The drinks were the cherry on top, perfectly complementing the meal. Overall, it was a delightful evening filled with great food, drinks, and atmosphere“

“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 and service. thank you!“

“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.“

“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).“

“The staff is very attentive and kind. We had the Tandoori Chicken Tikka which did not look like the photo in their online menu but was still very tasty, Butter Chicken, and the Chicken Korma. Everyone enjoyed their meal. We'd definitely go back.“
