My colleagues and I had a phenomenal meal here two weeks ago while in town for a conference. As…read moresomeone of Indian descent who has also lived there, I can vouch for the authenticity of the food. This is mostly an Indian restaurant with some Nepali dishes (and a Nepali staff too); thapaiko khana ekdam raamro chha! The 1-10 heat scale is legit and an 8/10 caused a pale friend of mine to "lose sensation on the back of my tongue." So those lighter-complected folks: tread carefully. We loved the pani puri, paneer tikka, and lamb momos as appetizers. Each of us tried something different but everyone loved their food: channa masala, chicken biriyani, vegetable vindaloo, and lamb curry.

Pani puri - plenty of flavor, with sweet and sour chutney already inside plus plenty of spice and freshness from the water. Ragada chaat - well seasoned ragada patties in a dice, paired with nice toppings and in good balance especially from the yogurt. Saag - rich and creamy, but not overwhelming. The saag had a nice and delicate flavor that played well with the other seasonings. Onion kulcha - buttery and fluffy, the perfect accompaniment to any curry. Chicken Chettinad - I didn't try this, but my partner said she loved it. The whole meal worked out to $80, and it ended up being quite a lot of food for two people. This is definitely one of the best Indian restaurants in the neighborhood - definitely give it a try.

So glad I did! There was a lot making it a very interesting meal. I believe the starter soup was a Mulligatawny.

Everything was well prepared and absolutely delicious! It was a spectacular lunch! Recommend you also check out Manhattan Valley Indian Restaurant!

We order the same stuff in almost every Indian place, so easier to judge if it is good...paratha (good in house, not delivered), mulagatoni soup (just ok), okra (great in, not out), taj mahal beer and vindaloo for main is good, nit great, in and bad out... Three stars max but still maybe best Indian on UWS

I had a Pulsd deal as I wanted to try this restaurant. Overall I enjoyed myself. I had 8pm…read morereservations on a Friday and it was not busy with only 2 other tables being occupied. The deal included an app, 2 entrees, dessert, and either 2 cocktails or bottle of house wine. We wanted a bottle of red and they only had a Pinot Noir as their only red. It was alright, clearly a $10-$12 retail price bottle. The best dish of the night was the app which was lamb chops. They were seasoned and cooked perfectly. We shared a goat dish and chicken korma. The goat was tasty but on the bone which wasn't mentioned on the menu. The korma was a bit bland. They only have 1 dessert so there was no options to choose from. Overall the food was good and service was very good. The portions were small for the price. I'm glad I used a Pulsd deal.

However, the non dairy version was disappointing-I tasted only sweet bottled mango juice and oat milk in mine. Not sure why plant based yoghurt & fresh mango can't be used: they could raise the price to cover the additional expense. Also on offer are the misnamed "aloo fries" -which are actually potato chips dusted with salt & seasoning-unremarkable, imho. Service is friendly & quick, even when busy. I'd definitely order a roll again, but I'd skip the lassi & fries.

Doaba checks off those boxes spectacularly well. The parathas and dal are freshly made. The chai is piping hot. All their food is vegetarian. And the ambience is the New York version of a hole-in-the-wall Punjabi restaurant in Delhi. While farther away for me relative to Punjabi Deli downtown, Doaba has more seating and is fairly easy to access with public transportation. It is a convenient stop for cab drivers looking for a quick bite or cup of coffee. I wish their restrooms were limited to use by paying customers, but the friendly disposition of the owners might come in the way of enforcement. Hard to believe I only tried them recently although they have been around for 15 years. I look forward to returning to Doaba when I am in the neighborhood again.

The curry and the veggie, lentil, and dessert came in these cute little cup sized bowls. When I first saw the curry, I thought that wouldn't be enough food for me. But, after eating everything, I think it was a good amount. If I come back in the future, I may just opt for a classic curry/rice or naan instead of the whole lunch special situation. However, the great thing is that the lunch special is a good price! We also got the malai chicken tikka to split amongst the 3 of us and luckily it came with 3 pieces! The server was really friendly and our food came out quickly.

I could easily imagine purchasing this food on the street in Delhi. - Low brow: Think fast-food style cooking for the middle / lower middle class masses in Pakistan and north India... or for broke college students in Manhattan. Ingredients are roughly cut and minimal, with cuts of meat that include all the bone, cartilage, and gristly bits. Seasoning is very bare bones, including only the minimum of what you need to make a dish what it is. You won't find the "luxury" of a cilantro garnish for instance. - Very oily : There'a a thick layer of oily orange tane on top of every dish, which you'll find at many eateries in north India. (I think tadka / spice tempered oil is a near equivalent in south India, though we've never seen tadka in such generous quantities, even at fast food type street vendors.) In our experience, food that's served at home in middle to upper class families isn't usually this oily. - Meaty: There are a sprinkling of vegetarian dishes available (along the lines of paneer or channa dal, bit little actual vegetable matter), and meat dishes tend to be meat only, or meat and potatoes only. We ordered this food by delivery and at home, we had to chop some cilantro to sprinkle over our food, and eat substantial salads alongside, so we wouldn't feel as though we would immediately die of heart attacks + scurvy. Maybe if I still had a college-aged kid's metabolism, I'd be able to eat this kind of food -- and maybe even drink a quarter of a keg while I'm at it. But now, I worry about heart attacks and scurvy and heart burn and ulcers. I grow old ... I grow old ... I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled. Going to leave this one to the young guns.
