Came on a not so busy night. Wait staff was on top of their game. Chef Kuldip makes the best curry’s and Indian food in NYC. No doubt about it 💯

Pahadi Chicken : Delicious and flavorful. Chicken Tikka : A hit with our kids, who loved it. Goat Biryani: The real winner – rich, aromatic and absolutely tasty.
The momo was tasty, although the portion size was a bit small.
What truly made our experience special was the hospitality,The staff were friendly, welcoming and made us feel at home.
Overall, we'd highly recommend this restaurant for its great food and excellent service

Amazing! The owners were so kind, and took the time to explain the dishes to you, as my lunch partner was not experienced with Indian food. I will warn you, though, it seemed every dish on today’s buffet was at least mildly spicy. But every single option was still delicious! About $19 per person for the lunch buffet. Can’t wait to come back!

We had a wonderful experience at Dhaba Restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious, and everything was perfect from start to finish. A special shout-out to Shiraj for his outstanding service — he was attentive, friendly, and made our visit even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Following a review of online menus and customer feedback, a reservation was secured via Resy.com. The establishment presents an inviting and intimate atmosphere, complemented by a pleasant ambiance. The culinary experience commenced with appetizers, including dahi sav poori, chatptaa aaloo, mustard chicken kabab, nezikat chicken kabab, and mutton barra kabab, all of which were well-received and are recommended. The main course comprised hydrabadi chicken makhni, goat curry, and malai koftaa, accompanied by a selection of breads, with all dishes meeting expectations. The sole area for improvement identified pertains to service; specifically, the staff's attentiveness to guest needs and inquiries. Overall, the dining experience is favorable.

The best part of dhaba is , you get to experience the real flavor of food from north india. Malai kofta is creamy, achari paneer tikka is too good. Thumbsup if you miss authenticate indian food and want to explore in this city.!

Restaurants in touristy places like NYC can be tricky but I was susprised how good the food was !! Probably the best Indian food in NYC. Also , Mr. Shiraaj was fantastic , he was a great host , very kind and friendly. Will definitely come back.
Tried Dhaba on Lexington Ave recently. Was expecting à la carte or lunch specials, but they were only offering a buffet — about $16, came to $18.20 with tax. Price-wise, it’s reasonable for NY .. service was ok. Atmosphere was ok :)
However, the food was a bit of a letdown in terms of taste. Most of the curries, including the tikka masala, were oddly sweet and lacked the bold flavors you’d expect from Indian cuisine. The spinach chicken was one of the better dishes. Veg options were okay — I liked the bhindi aloo masala, and the gulab jamun at the end was a nice touch. Dhal was just average. Biryani was so dry and less flavorful
No goat, fish, or any other protein variety besides chicken, which made the buffet feel limited. Overall, it was a so-so experience — not bad, but definitely not memorable either.

Worst delivery! Leaking yellow daal that was clearly watered down, over salted gobi to the point that anyone would be on blood pressure medication after eating it, poorly packed, day old roti that will require a dentist appt..on a positive note, even if you ask for plates and utensils, they won’t provide it because they are too sloppy and cheap.enjoy! Oh I have pictures of everything too
