For my first time having Indian food that wasn’t delivery, this is easily an ideal way to go for it. Besides a fair price, you can tell that everything that you order is made fresh, and the atmosphere makes you feel like you’re right at a family dinner. Make sure to keep this spot a go-to next time you hang out in the UWS.

August 2022. We came for lunch on a Saturday around 1:30 pm and were the only patrons. The restaurant is not huge but I liked the music and ambience.

The best Indian in the UWS! I now eat here regularly, it’s my go to! The food is not oily, I’ve tried most things on the menu, all full of flavor and anyone who I introduce loves it! If you dine in, it’s simple, quaint and the staff are lovely and accommodating to requests.

From the moment we stepped into this restaurant, we were impressed by the beautiful decor and welcoming atmosphere. The staff was incredibly polite and attentive. We started our meal with Naan bread, which was simply divine. While the Lamb Korma wasn’t our personal favorite due to its slightly sweet taste, we still appreciated the high-quality ingredients. But that won’t stop us to give it another try or at least ordering another dish.

It is a hole in the wall type of the restaurant. I like it.

Food quality is poor. And the taste was dreadful. They use frozen veggies instead of fresh. Each curry had the same taste. Not recommended.

The food and the service was great. We didn’t have to make a reservation, it was walk in basis. The food was very flavorful and the waiter was super nice. I enjoyed the shrimp muglahi and it comes with white rice. For appetizer we got the pakora platter

I went here to order lunch on a Wednesday afternoon at 1pm. The entire place was empty. I took a look at their lunch specials and decided to order 2 appetizers as opposed to a lunch entree. The waiter looked at me, looked at my order, and then refused to seat me.

Husband and I had a wonderful lunch experience here while on vacation. They have great lunch deals with a cozy atmosphere. The best part of our visit was being taken care of by Goshi. Conversing with him and hearing his stories was such a fun and pleasant experience for us! Definitely worth visiting.
