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!

Went this evening after a long day in Manhattan. Passerine immediately entered my top 10 restaurant experiences in NYC, maybe top 5. My only two regrets: that I had been a little hungrier because there were 3 other dishes that tempted me, and that I had a more disposable income to satisfy that craving. We ordered the grilled oysters (5 delicious, creamy oysters), Shrimp Kolawada (the winner, 6 on a heat scale), Lamb Cheela (chickpea pancakes with tender shredded lamb) and the scallops (coconut curry, creamy with bok choi). Also got the Parotha, which was a nice break from the traditional Naan. George our server was top-notch. Helped us with our orders, attentive but not intrusive, just a nice young man. The dining room was buzzing by the time we left. I can't wait for my next trip back. Thank you for a great evening.

Another entry into the growing modern Indian food trend. I think Passerine skews a bit more fusion than authentic and the flavors are balanced but not exactly intense. The execution on all the dishes I tried was excellent but some just didn't taste like Indian food - grilled fish with a tomatillo sauce (tacos?), a korma that tasted mostly like creamed corn, etc. The breads served with the later courses are really good.

Uttapam, lamb cheela, beef nihari, baked oysters are must try. Drinks were not balanced and desserts were meh. Presentation of the food was đ, service was prompt.
The whole experience with the tasting menu was incredible. Food is creative while staying Indian. Everything is utterly delicious. Better than most trendy Indian places in the city. Surprised this isnât more popular. Must try!

Really enjoyed the food, the atmosphere and customer service. Itâs not your typical Indian restaurant but in a good way. The food was well presented and has all the flavors one desires in Indian food. The cocktails were also delicious. Canât wait to return.

I had dinner at Passerine with friends and it was fantastic. The atmosphere has great vibes and is beautifully designedâwarm, stylish, and inviting without feeling pretentious. The customer service was equally impressive; our waitress was incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely helpful.
One of the highlights was how accommodating they were with dietary restrictions. One of my friends has severe celiac disease, and we chose Passerine because of their reputation for being mindful about cross-contamination. Our waitress carefully guided us through the menu and made the experience feel safe and stress-free, which meant a lot.
Overall, Passerine delivered on every level: food, service, atmosphere, and care. Iâd absolutely return and highly recommend it, especially for anyone with dietary sensitivities looking for an elevated dining experience.
Service was phenomenal!

For three of us, we shared five dishes and one dessert, and everything was excellent. We ordered the Aloo Dumpling, Bedgi, Benne Chutney, Scallion Uttapam with aged ComtĂ©, Crispy Cauliflower with ginger and winter radish, and the Hamachi Crudo with tomatillo, avocado, and khakhra. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared, beautifully balanced, and full of flavor. For dessert, the Pistachio CrĂ©meux with chai and rose was the perfect finishâdelicate, unique, and not too sweet.
Overall, Passerine delivered on every level: food, service, atmosphere, and care. Iâd absolutely return and highly recommend it, especially for anyone with dietary sensitivities looking for an elevated dining experience.
