    -I am giving only 1 star cuz the food was terrible. I don't know if that was the case particularly that day cuz it was my 1st time going there. My sisters and I were really hungry but could barely eat anything. Only thing that was good was the mango lassi. The waiter seemed dead the whole time. I was so Frustrated I couldn't wait to leave. The bill came about $45 for 3 people. It was bit surprising comparing to the portion of the food. +Since the restaurant was empty, one of the chef came to check up on was. He was really nice.

    The Aloo Saag is slimy, overcooked, and rife with burnt garlic.

    I really wanted to like this place, I miss good Indian food. I went in once with friends and the food was ok, but then I got delivery and it was inedible. Worse than the food, was how little they cared. Aloo papri - this is a chick pea and potato dish with crispy bread, tamarind and yogurt sauce...only they don't tell you in the seamless menu that there's crispy bread, so all of a sudden I chomped into petrified mystery food. Unfortunately they overcooked the crispy bread and I chipped a tooth. I called to let them know, but they treated me like a silly woman and talked over me. "what's the name of the dish" he asked. "it's the chickpea and potato dish" I said. "we don't have anything like that" he said. "well I'm looking at it, it's chickpeas and potatoes and some sauces drizzled on the top." I said "if you don't know the name of the dish, then how can you know anything" he said...I got pissed and as soon as I started yelling at him he says "oh that's the chickpea and potato dish with crispy bread." Thanks, bro. I just said that. So he cuts me off again and says "so what do you want from me?" I said I wanted a refund. he said that I had only told him about one of the dishes, I said that he cut me off before I could talk about the other dishes. "I am happy to talk to you about them." I said but He says he's too busy working to listen to me. Aloo saag- it tastes like maybe they burnt the garlic. But to the point where it overpowered the dish and I love garlic but this was comical. I will say, the spinach was green and to have color in your saag is a good sign! Still, it was slimy and not delicious. Vegetable korma - like others have said in their reviews it's a tragically under-spiced korma. And I'm white, so for me to think something is under-spiced is saying something. Lamb Rogan Jose - actually I've heard this dish called Rogan Josh, either way, it was delightful. When I called to ask for a refund I asked that they refund me all the dishes except the lamb. They laughed at me. I'm a business owner in this neighborhood so it sucks when you take the time to put effort into community, give feedback instead of writing a shitty review on yelp (you know, give the business a chance to make it right) and they treat you with the bloated aloofness only middle aged men can provide. I offered to pack everything up and send it back. I offered to give them feedback, I even offered them an out by saying maybe they had a new person cooking tonight, but they said they've been there for 80 years cooking the same dishes. Then accuse me of not knowing anything about Indian food. Meanwhile I lived with an Indian chef and I worked on Indian row in the East Village for 10 years....

    The mango lassi
    Tony L.

    I had been bicycling in the area and was scoping this place out and saw the 50% off during lunch sign. Thankfully, I was able to leave work early a few days later and called up to confirm the lunch special, running until 2/2:30PM. True to the advert, everything {excluding my mango lassi, to my chagrin} was half off! While the mango lassi wasn't creamy enough for my liking, the samosa was your usual bundle of fried tastiness, and the entrees reminded me of my time abroad in the Middle-East when I'd eat Indian every other day. I got the lamb biriyani and the chicken malakhani {butter chicken} and both had the range!!! They tasted authentic and were spiced JUST right - though I was a bit disappointed the biriyani didn't have raisins in it. Service was great as well, and while this isn't the biggest place, for the 50% lunch special, you won't break the bank!

    Chicken vindaloo
    Ingrid S.

    I can't believe this little Indian place that is actually 'nearish' to where I live delivers all the way to Prospect Heights. That is pretty remarkable. This guy took his bike clearly across the entire park for us. Second, I'm testing my heat tolerance for the Bricklane Phaal challenge. It's inevitable it has to happen. I'm fully confident that I can achieve the 'getting your name on a certificate and free beer' hottest curry in New York challenge. But mostly I "have" to do it because my ex threw up the 2 times he attempted and didn't even half finish. My friend and I split an order of the chicken vindaloo. The special also came with an appetizer, basmati rice, and naan. The vindaloo was adequate spicy. Some places piss around with their heat level but this honestly was just the right amount without having to wash it down with copious amounts of wine or *cough* water. It had a kick to it. It also has interesting things in it like chunks of tomato and potato that I was not fully expecting. The naan was delicious as were the samosas. The weirdest thing we ordered by far was the crab cake with spicy mango. It kind of looks like a piece of naan bread with pulled crab meat piled on top. I'm not sure what to say about it or how to feel but it is not a crab cake and not the best. Stick to the regulars. I approve of this place though and the prices were pretty affordable.

    Plain Naan, warm and tastes pretty good.

    We ordered food at 8:15pm and saw it was not here by 9:15pm which was promised 9:05 latest. We called the restaurant and the man said they are busy please give them 30 more minutes. At 10pm I tried to contact the grubhub agent and found out the restaurant wants to cancel they are busy. So the restaurant could not tell us to cancel at 8:15 or 9:15 when we still had time to order from another restaurant? Now at 10pm everything is closed and we are starved.

    Unbelievable! Not only did they forget one thing I ordered, they also gave me undercooked chicken! Do they not know what can happen when you eat undercooked chicken?! I'm a breastfeeding mom, that can end up sooooo bad! I swear if something happens, I am suing this place! Did not receive what was on the pictures. Wasted my money for crap!

We didn't…read moreeven know this place existed, but after leaving the first spot, bumping into this one and seeing the review about the "biggest masala dosa", we had to try it. Spoiler, we never made it to any of the other locations because we were so full. Jalsa provide fare from all over India and makes paneer in house. They have plenty of seating and can take care of large catering parties. As is customary, they have a Sunday lunch buffet. We came on a rainy Saturday afternoons and there weren't many patrons dining. We went with the masala chai, mango lassi, lamb kati roll, and a ghee masala dosa with gun powder, upon recommendation. -The masala chai was perfectly blended, with sugar on the side to sweeten to one's liking. -The mango lassi was really good, but a bit thicker than I'd like; good tartness. -Lamb kati roll was really good, larger than expected. The flavours were well balanced and the paratha had a good flake to it. There was A LOT of lamb inside. -The ghee masala dosa was the shining star; it must have been 2.5, if not 3 feet long. The edges were super crispy like a chip, and the masala potato pilling was delicious If I could do it all over again, I'd only eat here and not eat ahead of time, since this was enough food to fill a party of two (maybe add in a samosa or two). I'll definitely be coming back to try more fare.

We started with samosas, two types; vegetable and chicken. These savory pastries were packed with well season veggies and chicken. The crust was light, flaky and perfectly crispy. The Lamb shanks was so tender, the meat fell of the bone. The spinach and paneer, a homemade cheese, paired well with the shank and vegetable fried rice. This spicy concoction cut through the heaviness of the meat dishes like a butter knife. The combination of flavors complimented each other and balanced the meal perfectly. The chai tea is a must. The original, smells and tastes like warm caramel. The "Kashmir chai" is an acquired taste. Less flavor intense than the regular chai but the pretty pink color adorned with shaved pistachio was a hit for the kids. If you still have room, carrot pudding, basil seed sherbet, assorted fudge and sweets are at your fingertips. Prices are reasonable, won't break the bank. I guarantee you will enjoy the experience.

A true institution in Little Pakistan, Lahori Chilli is an iconic restaurant nestled in the very busy row of neighborhood staples off of Foster Ave. This is a no-frills place serving up every day Pakistani cuisine in a Homey setting. There are booths for your comfort or an adjacent dining hall if you're here with family. They have some hot items almost every day that you can choose from, visible through the greasy glass of the display case. The sweets here are very very good, I particularly enjoy their falooda. Recently also sampled their gulab jamun, and they were to die for. Another dish they are super well known for is their battered masala fish fillet. This is something you have to dine in for to truly appreciate. It comes piping hot, crispy, and with just the perfect amount of masala dusting on top. A true culinary gem if you ask me. It has no bones and the crispy batter is the lightly crunchy without being super oily or greasy like a lot of other fried fish. The fish inside is moist, has no smell and is flaky. It is absolute perfection. Other things I absolutely love on their menu are their chicken seekh kababs and their kofta curry. Those two are usually my go to when I'm ordering food to go or delivery. I do want to give some feedback on a few things though. First of all, it's a little annoying that all the meat dishes are chicken only like I would like to see beef or lamb chapli kabab and seekh kabab. Why is the keema aloo chicken only? I wanna see lamb keema and beef keema on the menu. I also have noticed with some of the items that are in the buffet, they can have that smell sometimes that tells you that the food has been sitting out and not kept at the recommended temperature. A lot of food I order from the glass case goes bad the next day. I need the owner to implement better food safety. We also need more cleanliness around the dining area and spruce up the entrance a bit so people who are not local and privvy to desi food can have a clean and quality hole in the wall dining experience. Either way this restaurant is a place that I continue to frequent year after year. Thank you for feeding and nourishing this community.

We ordered the sweet and sour eggplant as an appetizer and struggled over decision paralysis before settling on chicken tikka masala and a mango lassi for her and lamb vindaloo for me, plus a bread basket. Our waitress, seemingly oblivious to the notion of profit, warned us we were ordering too much bread before saying, "You could always bring some home," and explaining that the bread basket would consist of our choice of four different naan. More decision paralysis! We picked plain, garlic, onion, and peshwari naan. The eggplant was good, breaded and fried and served with cilantro and tamarind chutneys. Our entrees came out soon after we finished. My girlfriend enjoyed her chicken, and my lamb was tender and spicy without being overwhelmingly so. Each entree was accompanied by a portion of basmati jeera, and the rice was perfectly cooked. The naan were all good, and my girlfriend and I both agreed the peshwari naan was the winner of the pack. The sweet, nutty bread complimented and contrasted the spicy curry of my lamb vindaloo, and my "best bite" was mopping up some of the sauce with it. Sure enough, we had leftovers both of our entrees and 3/4 pieces of naan (two guesses as to which got eaten on the spot), and lunch the next day was delicious. Stumbling distance from the 7 Ave F/G.
