    A nice and cozy Indian restaurant locate near by the subway in Jackson Heights, the place was empty when I arrived but in a blink of an eye, while waiting for a friend the restaurant got full, the services was great, nice, hospitable and super friendly, given great recommendations. For my drink Mango lassi, the mango lassi is a famous drink super refreshing Indian drink that is made with canned mango pulp blended with milk, yogurt, and ice for a smooth, creamy. For our food we share, garlic naan, Laal Maas and Chicken Dum Biryani.The food was delicious, super tasty perfectly seasoned and with authentic flavors, as was a spit spicy and very seasoned.

    We came here on Sunday 1pm with reservations. By the time we left around 2, things were dying down a little where they could have potentially accomodated walk-ins but generally, reservations are recommended. They start you off with complimentary cracker-like things with a green, refreshing sauce. Entrees come with rice. For the 4 of us, we ordered: - garlic naan - pani puri: I don't see the appeal of this. The chutney were good and the texture is interesting but otherwise, it was boring. - butter chicken: it has a kick and the chicken was tender enough, but this doesn't have the indulgent creaminess of butter chicken. Not sure which version is authentic but don't order this if you are craving that. - the paneer makhani: wow, the paneer is so soft like silken tofu. And the sauce has a sweetness to it, a bit like tikki masala. I'd get this again. - goat dum biryani: get this. The goat meat was so tender and flavorful, I liked it much more than the chicken. The rice had tons of flavor and the breading on top was great to use to dip in the other dishes too. They give you yogurt to offset the spice if needed. - masala chai has deep flavor and is unsweetened so you can add your own sugar if wanted. One unpleasant note was that our table was right below the AC, where it kept dripping on my hands and table. They can't really do too much since it's so small but they did turn it off for a little while to avoid that happening.

    First things first........ make a reservation or else you'll be wasting your time. Very small business, but service was fast. Best Indian food in Jackson heights. Everything was full of flavor, the lamb madras, was soft with mild spice. Goat biryani was a show stopper the way the cut into the bread and not to mention the spices made the flavors of India at home..... definitely going back asap!

    Saag Paneer

    Indian food being one of my favorite cuisines ever, Ive been so excited to visit Jackson Heights, and more specifically Angel. They serve free papadum to start which was so nice! I started with the Pani Puri which was excellent. I just got back from playing tennis and the pani was extremely refreshing. There was a tiny bit if heat too it which made it cooling but with a kick! I loved this a lot. Then I tried the Chole Bhature which was fireee. The chikpeas were creamy and the sauce here was super interesting. I honestly didn't know what to expect because this was my first time trying this dish but I was pleasantly surprised to get sort of a fall spice essence! It really reminded me of pumpkin with cinnamon. It came with some onions which really lightened up the dish too. The bread here was incredible. Very large, super crisp on the outside but was still a bit soft inside. I also got the Saag Paneer which is my default at every Indian restaurant. I will say I am a bit partial to more blended saag paneers and this one seemed to feature whole spinach leaves, but the flavor was still great. Actually different than most saag paneers Ive had but I liked this variation of it. But I need to give a special shout out to the paneer itself here because WOW that is some of the softest creamiest lightest paneer Ive ever had. It quite literally felt like eating a cloud. I think the paneer here is homemade and you can definitely taste that. Had some garlic naan on the side as well which was standard but in a good way. The portion sizes were large and I have like 2 more dinner's worth of leftovers which I am so excited about!

    Lamb Madras and Garlic Naan

    The food here is outstanding. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but the kale pakoda and lamb madras with garlic naan are some of my favorites. Definitely order family style and share. The biryani is also popular. Overall, plenty of great vegetarian, meat, and fish options. This is a small, no frills place. Definitely make a reservation if you plan to dine in. The service is polite and prompt. If you're not local to Queens, I would say this place is still worth making the trip to Jackson Heights. Highly recommend!

    A cozy little spot with friendly service and seriously tasty food! As an Indian, a foodie, and a decent cook myself, I'm pretty picky when it comes to Indian restaurants. Indian cuisine is so rich in flavor, yet many places don't quite do it justice. But this restaurant impressed me--the dishes were flavorful, freshly made, and arrived at the table piping hot. One small downside--we were seated close to the main door, so with people coming and going, our food cooled down faster than we would have liked. Still, the flavors shone through! Highly recommend trying the lotus root kofta and paneer khurchan--both were fantastic. The garlic naan was delicious, and my husband really enjoyed the keema kebabs. Definitely planning to come back to try more dishes! Pro-tip: Make a reservation ahead of time. We walked in and had to wait a bit (though we made good use of the time by finishing up some Indian grocery shopping nearby!).

    Overall (B+) The food and service is pretty good and the prices aren't too crazy high. Food (A-) It's decent safe bet Indian food. We had the butter chicken, garlic naan and thums up to drink. Portion size was about pretty good since 3 of us who were not super hungry split it. Service (B+) They are friendly and get the food out to you fairly fast. A few awkward interactions when I requested help but they were trying their best. Note this is a small place with only a few tables. Value (B) It's not too expensive but they add hidden fees and automatically add tips. I think I tipped twice by mistake. Paying process seemed shady. So just watch out Go try it out if you are in the area but don't make a special trip. I'm sure there are plenty places in Edison or Manhattan which are better.

    Angel is one of the restaurants that I've been meaning to try for a while and it did not disappoint. The food came rather quickly after we were seated. The Vegetable Pakora was well seasoned and crunchy and came with a good portion. Although basic (of me to order), I tried the Butter Chicken and was pleasantly spiced and had a kick to it. The sauce was silky and paired beautifully with their warm and fluffy Butter Naan. The Mango Lassi was creamy but not too sweet, making it the perfect drink to cool off from the spice.

    Visited here as this was recommended in Jackson Heights. The restaurant had great service and felt very authentic! The pricing was also not too bad for an Indian restaurant. I got the Mumbai bhel puri, the paneer 3 b65, and the paneer makhani and all of the dishes were amazing! I would definitely go here again and recommend this to both vegetarians and non vegetarians for a great Indian experience.

    My fav Indian restaurant for sure. possible my fav NY restaurant overall. I'm Chinese but somehow I'm good at telling if Indian food is authentic or not. I can't bear Americanized Indian food, or Americanized anything for that matter. IMO Angel Indian has the best taste in NY city at its price point, and the service people are very friendly. I simply can't resist the first bite after dipping the fresh, crispy naan into the aromatic curry source -- this is heavenly. Surely a few things could be improved, like the room temperature feels hot during summer. But for the price point I really can't ask for more. Since my wife doesn't eat Indian food, I come here alone once in a while and indulge myself. - Liang

    Tandoori Chicken

    Hidden Hole in the Wall in the Heart Of Jackson Heights . Once upon a time Jackson Heights was called Little India not it's more of Gold Souk. Been trying to check this spot for a while now , went few times and couldn't do the hour waits . Finally made a reservation and made the trip from Long Island. We were greeted and seated at our reservation time. Restaurant is small with about 8 tables. It was very diverse in there , I guess people traveled to eat here We were recommended a few dishes by our waiter but we picked what we wanted . For appetizers we went with Tandoori Chicken , Lamb Sheekh and Lamb Chops . Everything came out fast and sizzling. Portions were great and we barely had room for Main Course . But for main course we decided on traditional Butter Chicken , Chicken Dum Biryani paired with Keema Kulcha and Garlic Naan. Everything was great , it was on the spicier side but I am glad I had it as it was. Also loved the fact that they didn't tone down the spice level as Indian food is usually spicy. Overall , I wonder why it's rated 4.7 out of 5 and trust me it's better than most of these fine dining Indian restaurants in the city. Service - 10/10 Ambiance- Parking - Street (Good Luck) Place for GOOD TRADITIONAL INDIAN FOOD

    This place is phenomenal, like ask to shake the chef's hand phenomenal! It's small so it might be tough to get in but it will be so worth the wait. Every dish we tried was delicious and served hot, fresh and full of flavor. Truly one of New York's gems and an absolute favorite of mine!

    Finally made it to this restaurant after hearing/reading all the raving reviews! We couldn't make the reservation as they were not available. So walked in. Initially we were told to wait for an house but got the table in 30 min. Went straight ahead with main course - paneer kulcha with chole and paneer khurchan. It was the best paneer kulcha I have ever had - so soft that it melted right away in mouth, slathered with butter on top! The chole tastes quite homely and not much of a fuss. It was paired with yogurt, onion and pickle. The pickle was so great - reminded of homemade grandmother pickle. Paneer khurchan was amazing too. They make paneer in house and it tastes so fresh and soft like a cotton ball. The quantity was enough as well. I am hoping to try other things next time. The service was quick too!

For desert we let our waiter pick for us, and he led us to the coffee meringues which were also FANTASTIC. I couldn't recommend this more if I tried, definitely a must visit in this area

For my main, I leaned into a random lamb craving and ordered the lamb vindaloo--and this is where Seva really delivered. Deep, rich flavor with a satisfying level of heat that doesn't hold back but also doesn't overwhelm. The lamb itself was tender and clearly given the time it deserved. This dish alone would bring me back. Service was attentive without hovering, and the pacing of the meal felt just right--no awkward gaps, no rushing.
