I had a great experience dining at Dhaba. The paladum and chutneys to start were great, and the lamb biryani was delicious. Priyanka was also incredibly hospitable - thank you!

There were several serious issues with this order placed through Uber Eats: 1. I found a piece of metal in the food, which is extremely concerning. 2. The Murgh Kali Mirch lacked the expected peppery flavor and tasted very bland. 3. The garlic on the chili garlic naan was completely raw. 4. I selected the option for utensils, but none were included in the order.
Overall, the quality of the order was very disappointing.

We ordered food for 300 people from Dhaba. Food was delivered warm and the staff were super helpful and accommodating on our requests. Food was high quality and everyone enjoyed it throughly. Highly recommended.

I was there last night. The service was very slow, only one waitress who was very nice but couldn’t be everywhere. We took leftovers home and I just opened the container of rice and there’s a dead roach in it. I won’t be eating at Dhaba again

Food was decent, but billing was very disappointing. We returned a cold Rumali Roti and replaced it with garlic naan, yet the roti was still charged. They also added basmati rice we never ordered or received. Please double-check your bill here. Dishonest billing ruins the dining experience.

We visited today for the lunch buffet as a group of four and tried dishes like Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Biryani, and Tandoori-style chicken items. Everything was absolutely delicious! The creamy, tangy flavors of the Chicken Tikka Masala were so irresistible that I went back for seconds—it was simply outstanding. The dessert was delightful, melting perfectly in our mouths. To finish, we had Masala Tea, which was by far the best I’ve had in the city. It almost made me want to give up coffee altogether! I don’t usually go for Indian cuisine, but the flavors here are truly captivating and make me want to return again and again. A truly thrilling dining experience!
Based on my cousin’s recommendation, I visited this restaurant today for the buffet. The inviting aroma of spices greeted us the moment we stepped in, setting the tone for an exciting dining experience. The buffet offered an impressive variety of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, making it difficult to choose. The chicken curry was exceptionally flavorful, and the aloo gobi tasted just like authentic homemade Indian food, with a perfect blend of spices. I also tried the roti, which cost an additional $2 but was absolutely worth it. Unfortunately, I couldn’t try the desserts as I was already full. Overall, it was a wonderful experience—offering great taste, variety, and excellent value for money, especially in the heart of Manhattan. I’ll definitely be returning and bringing more friends along next time.

I am deeply disappointed by my recent visit to Dhaba NYC. I had heard good things, but my experience was the exact opposite. I strongly advise others to look elsewhere for Indian food.
We opted for the lunch buffet, expecting a variety of flavorful, authentic dishes. What we got was a complete letdown. The food was, frankly, not at all nice. The curries were bland and tasted like they had been sitting for hours, with a film of oil on top. The chicken in the butter chicken was dry and rubbery, and the naan was limp and chewy instead of fresh and fluffy.
Nothing had the vibrant, spiced taste you expect from a good Indian restaurant. It felt like a mass-produced, low-effort attempt at Indian cuisine.
This was not just a mediocre meal; it was a complete waste of money. The only thing more disappointing than the food is the thought that others might be fooled by the promise of a buffet and have the same terrible experience we did. Save your money and your appetite.

Came here for late night dining and they were open. Believe last dine in is at 11:30. They handed us tablets which had the menu on it. Dishes around $20-35. Thought naan were on the higher side with $7 a naan. Got samosa chaat as a starter which was really good, recommend. Anyway we ordered 3 dishes. One was saag aloo ( became everyone’s favorite) malai butter chicken, and goat. I recommend getting the saag aloo as well. There butter chicken sauce could have been better. The goat was good too. Also got a classic lassi. They gave complimentary “chips” and sauces. Food came out quick. Once we were done our waiter took a which coming to our table because he was on his phone. I get it, it’s 11pm at night yet it took us a while just to get the check. Staff was friendly don’t get me wrong. Overall great last minute dinner.

Very tasty authentic Indian food, with an authentic dhaba atmosphere. Classic Delhi and Punjabi dishes.
Many Indian restaurants in the city focus on the “fusion indo western” style so it was nice to just eat something simple that tasted like home + basic sides like onion, green chillis, lemon, chutneys, and paapad were free.
Staff was also very friendly and provided fast service.
Best Rogan Josh and purani Delhi paapri chaat I’ve ever had. Lychee martini was 1000/10. I can’t wait to come back here and try more dishes.
