Met our daughter in Williamsburg. Wanted something other than Mediterranean as that is what we will be having for the next two days. Welcome Atithi Indian Cuisine. Loved the complimentary pappadums while we waited. The lentil wafers paired so nicely with the dipping sauces. The tamarind chutney was tangy with a hint of sweetness. The mint chutney is a vibrant blend of fresh mint, cilantro, green chilies, and spices. It has a bit of a kick. Ordered a lamb entree and a veggie korma to share. The lamb rogan josh was so rich. The lamb was so tender. It was served in a rich curry sauce infused with cinnamon, cardamom, and nutmeg. So fragrant. The vegie korma was full of vegetables in a delicious creamy, almond and cashew nut sauce. Delicious! The garlic naan and the cheese naan paired perfectly with our curries. Service was great. and our water cups were always refilled! Nice to be able to walk from our hotel on Saturday night and get a booth without a reservation. Thank you to Neha for a great evening celebrating life over a delicious meal with our daughter. read more

Outstanding! You'll feel like you've stepped into India. Warm and welcoming setting. Indian music playing at a reasonable volume to complement your dining experience. The server was attentive and kind. The lunch special is an AMAZING bargain. Your choice of appetizer and main for under $16. The samosa was the best I have ever tasted. The batter was thin, crispy, and delectable. The filling was top notch! All of the dishes were exquisitely made. Great serving sizes of both the appetizer and the main. Go with friends and order a few dishes to share.. read more

Save your $50 for another place. The prix menu has a good selection but the food was awful. I tried others' entrees and not good Indian food. The chicken tikka masala, goat curry and saag paneer were incredibly let downs .... The chicken in my tikka masala was mushy texture which makes me queasy to wonder how one gets mushy chicken. The goat curry was the better of the three entrees. The saag paneer flavors were super muddy and wasn't really flavorful. I saw a lot of takeout from this place but honestly, I didn't like the food. The naan was very fresh and smelled wonderful so maybe just eat naan ! Service was attentive and quickly but definitely just stick to little Indian in manhattan... Williamsburg doesn't have good Indian !! read more

This is our go-to Indian restaurant for delivery. We've ordered from here many times and are always happy with the food. Everything is consistently good, and my personal favorites are the butter chicken and the coconut naan. read more

Solid Indian food on Grand. We tried the appetizer platter, Chana masala, chicken tikka, shrimp korma, naans and the mango lassi. Everything was tasty, portions were good, only note is that the spice level is inconsistent. We ordered medium for each of them but they were varying levels of heat, which made it a little tough for some of us. The mango lassi was delicious but steep for $8. The platter was good, split between 6 of us it was good amount but the samosas are big and hard to split, would be better if they were smaller and more quantity than bigger. Tikka was lacking in flavor a bit, but the shrimp korma was the stand out. Generous in the shrimp with a good, creamy sauce. Overall great spot for Indian food. read more

First time trying and getting Atithi delivered! We got Vegetable Samosas, Garlic Naan, & Chicken Tikka Masala and it was more than enough for 2! We have tons of yummy leftovers. Great portion size for the price. Vegetable Samosas - My favorite dish of the night!! So flavorful, absolutely HUGE, and even better with some green sauce (what is this deliciousness?!) and chicken tikka - drooling just thinking about it. Garlic Naan - Good, especially with the Chicken Tikka Masala, but average on its own. Chicken Tikka Masala - Fantastic flavor, incredible with the soft and fluffy basmati rice. Sooo generously with the chicken breast chunks even though it was on the slightly drier side (but I personally am more partial to chicken thighs!!) Can't wait to try different dishes next time! read more

In town for work and was craving Indian food. I live in Chicago and we have a great Indian food scene there, but I figured I'd try it (note-I'm Caucasian. Just love all Asian foods). The food was fresh, the flavors complex and subtle and really flavorful. I got the Chicken Vindaloo and garlic naan. The Vindaloo was properly spicy (I love spice). Reasonable price for NYC. Service was excellent. Overall, highly recommend! read more

The food here is really high quality. We tried vegetable samosa and bhel puri for appetizers. Both were very good, but the samosa really stood out to me because of the flavorful filling. For entrees, we had baingan bartha, aloo chana paneer, saag paneer, and vegetable vindaloo. Of these, my favorite was the baingan bartha. The saag paneer was also very nice - subtly flavored without being too rich, and with a good amount of paneer. The warning they give about the vindaloo being spicy is legit. Even for someone who eats particularly spicy food, this falls into the "spice challenge" category. It's an adventurous pick, but slightly bitter. We also ordered coconut naan, garlic naan, and paratha on the side. The coconut naan was unique and very good - slightly sweet, which made a nice accompaniment for the other dishes. The meal came out to about $200 for 5 people, which is reasonable for the enormous quantity of food we received and the great flavors. This restaurant is worth a try. read more

Last week I went to Atithi for the first time and was not disappointed. I ordered the veggie tikka masala and split the mango lassi with a friend. Both were amazing and the medium spice level was perfect for me. The restaurant has a great atmosphere and the service was incredible. We had a party of 10 which is not always easy to accommodate but the staff was attentive all went smoothly. My water cup was always filled and they checked in quite a few times to make sure we had all we needed. The portions were generous and everyone took their leftovers for lunch the next day. As a vegetarian, Indian food is one of my go-tos so I am very happy to have a new favorite so close to me. Important note: they used to have a 'bring your own drink' policy but now serve a nice array of alcohol so, no need to bring that bottle of wine! read more

Best Chicken Tikka Masala Ever! I love it so much! You better like it too! The service is amazing too!

This place is sooo good. They have a great lunch deal. We shared the Lamb Spring Rolls and Garlic Naan. Both were sooo good and the spring rolls came with a delicious yogurt sauce. For my main, I got the Chicken Samosa and Chicken Vindaloo. The samosa was huge but the filling was amazing and had a bit of a kick. BEWARE: The chicken vindaloo is SPICY. They warned me and they were not kidding. The flavor was delicious, but it really has a lot of heat to it. Overall, great meal and lots of leftovers as the food was super filling. My only complaint was that the waitress kept trying to clear our table when we were packing our to go boxes. Like I'm still eating some of my naan and felt like I had to stop eating because she was taking all my plates and utensils like girl just give us 5 minutes here. read more

Delicious Indian food! Great options for vegetarians, pescatarians, and meat eaters. We stopped in for lunch on a whim after walking by and noticing the classic marigold garlands outside. Super clean and nice in there with simple but pretty Indian décor. They also had soft religious music on which contributed to the calm atmosphere. Our server was extremely polite and attentive. We started with the chicken samosa app. These are full size, not minis and the order came with two which was perfect. You can tell these were freshly made because they were super crisp on the outside. The accompanied chutneys were good but I wish the green was a little more refreshing. We also shared the lamb saag (which comes with rice), and a garlic naan. Everything was presented nicely and the portion was generous enough that we had leftovers to take home (yay!) Please if you come here, order family style! Bathrooms were super clean as well. Would recommend! read more

I decided to give this restaurant a try because of the raving 5 star reviews. I came with a few friends for dinner. The restaurant had seating when we arrived, but quickly got filled as time passed. We were quickly seated upon entering. When reading their menu, I was super hungry, so their 3 course prix fix meal sounded like a great deal to me. We got 4 pieces of complimentary papadam for the table to start (one for the each of us) - paired with a side of sweet brown sauce and spicy green sauce. That's always light and delicious. For my 3 course PRIX FIXE: I opted for VEGETABLE SAMOSA for appetizer The vegetable samosa was way bigger than I expected. Nonetheless, it was delicious. Liked the fillings inside. The mix of the brown/green sauce at the bottom was a delicious combo for the samosa. I really enjoyed the app. Would order again. CHICKEN KORMA for my entree I like that you get to choose your spiciness for all the dishes. I chose to get medium spice for my korma dish. It was a tad bit spicy for me, but very tolerable in my opinion. Had a similar spice level of the green sauce as the server had explained. I also like that every dish comes with a decent sized bowl of rice. And a large plate if you need to mix the rice and entree. I've never had Chicken Korma, but I really enjoyed it. Chicken was soft. It had small pieces of nuts inside. The sauce is flavorful. I ate it all. and KHEER for my dessert This is a rice pudding dessert. It has a slight coconut taste, but you can tell it's Indian with the hidden spices underneath the white exterior. I was honestly bloated with my meal & everything else prior, but since it's light and not too sweet, I was able to finish it all. First of all, I came out of the restaurant feeling very full. The whole meal was delicious and filling. Secondly, the service was great! The server came to check in on us and offered us water refills multiple times to even count. They were very attentive and quick with the orders. I did enjoy my experience here. read more

Service is the star of the show at this buzzing Indian eatery in Williamsburg. Atithi translates to "Guest" in Hindi and they do take that seriously with warm, attentive hospitality even on a busy weekend night. The food is great too. Samosas are mind blowing. Bombay bhel needs improvement. Paneer makhani has generous pieces of paneer and a sweet-spicy flavor. Garlic naan and Roti are on point. They listened to our feedback and also gave us Gulab Jamun on the house. Delightful! Overall highly recommend Atithi. read more

Atithi Indian Cuisine - Bombay bhel - Indian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I was here with one of my groups back in early May. This is a local Indian spot serving primarily Northern Indian grub which while not my preference is either good or bad depending on how overly sweet they make the dishes. This place was definitely on the good end and I can see why others like it. The prices were reasonable. Service was nice. I remember getting a mango lassi and it was to my preference. Not too sweet and quite thick with a strong yogurt flavor. Pricey but would still recommend. They gave us some Papadum which was the usual. We got two appetizers. First was the Pakora ($10) with onion fritters and cauliflower fritters had a good portion size and were properly fried. The Vegetable Samosa with potato and green peas in a mixed turnover for $9 was different. They were much larger than usual and came with 2 and were tasty though perhaps a bit less fried than I am used to. They are also available with meat. In terms of mains, our host got a mix of curries. For vegetables, the Saag Paneer with spinach, cheese cubes, garlic, and coriander for $17.95 was very good. Good spinach flavor with good paneer texture. The Chana (or Channa) Masala with chickpea, tomato, onion, cloves, and cardamom for the same price was probably the weakest dish and the only miss of the evening. A bit too lightly flavored even as this dish goes and the chickpeas could have been cooked more. In terms of meat dishes, our favorite was the Achari Lamb with mixed spicy pickle masala, onion, green pepper, and tomato for $19.95 was very good. The lamb was tender and well spiced from the achar/pickles. Would recommend if you want something spicy and sour. The Chicken Korma at $18.95 with cashew nut and almond, yogurt, coconut, and cream was also good. Not as sweet as other places which to me is a good thing. Rounding out the dishes was the Shrimp Tikka Masala for $21.95 with griddle fry, light cream, and tomato sauce. This was more standard and the shrimp were fine. Probably the 2nd weakest but not shabby. All the dishes came with rice and we got Garlic Naan ($4.50) which was a very solid version. Food was tasty. I can see why it's popular and high rated. Not the best Indian food I've had or even northern Indian but very solid. Low 4. read more

Enjoyed their prix fix meal for $28. Got the lamb spring roll and chicken samosa, my friend said the chicken samosa is good. I thought the lamb was fine, a lot of sauce and piping hot. It was huge a huge appetizer for 1 person. There's veggie, chicken and lamb to choose from the entree. I got the curry chicken in spicy and friend got the chicken tikka masala medium spicy. The chicken tikka masala is pretty sweet and not very spicy. The curry chicken had a nice amount of spice and flavorful. The chicken was tender, this dish might've been too flavorful and more on the salty side. Everything came piping hot which is great. Tried their garlic naan and it was really good with chunks of garlic. Ended dinner with kheer and rasmalai and it was a small portion and was ok. Came on a Friday night and it got busy around 7pm. The service was great. Always come to refill the cup with water and checking to make sure everything is ok. It is dim in the inside which is prefect for a date. A lot of deliveries were being pushed out too. read more

One of the best Indian spots I've tried hands down! I went here with my friends Saturday night and the vibe down to the food was so good. Service was very attentive to us and gave great recommendations. I tried the lamb saag and it was pretty spicy but not too much. It was flavorful and delicious with the garlic naan. Inside was pretty lively and the prices are not bad for good Indian food. It is BYOB so if you like make sure to bring a nice wine to pair with your food haha. Love it! :) read more

After ordering from their restaurant a couple of times, I finally made it there for dinner. Their food is reliably great, my favorite is the Paneer Makhani, which is perfectly creamy, spice, and flavorful. The restaurant itself is small and simple, the service prompt. A good spot if you're craving a good no-nonsense experience. Note that it's BYOB if you care :) read more

Green Curry was so good. Chicken samosas were on fire too. We ordered it spicy and I may or may not have needed some water but it was definitely worth it. The portions were also large so we ended up saving some as leftovers for the next day. I haven't yet been physically to the location but looking forward to trying it in person. read more

Recently moved to the neighborhood and was so excited to have a great Indian spot in the neighborhood. It's always busy but never enough that you have to make a reservation. Everything I've tried here has been great - especially like the samosas, bhel puri, and chicken saag. The restaurant is cute and the service is amazing. The staff are so attentive and friendly. Highly recommend stopping in for a casual dinner or ordering for delivery! read more

Amazing place with delicious food and incredible service! We came by on a weekday evening and can't tell if it was because of the weather but there was a decent number of seats available but so many delivery orders (i've never seen a restaurant with so much!). We got: - Atithi special platter 9/10: we couldn't decide on which appetizers so we got this platter and it was a fantastic choice! The lamb spring roll in particular is phenomenal, highly recommended. And as you can see, the samosas are respectable size. - chicken korma 10/10: excellent and creamy, perfect contrast to - lamb vinadloo 10/10: our waitress warned us it would be spicy and it indeed was! We were pleasantly surprised and it was incredibly delicious - garlic naan 9/10: solid naan, very chewy - gulab jamun 8/10: i prefer mine to be slightly more crispy but otherwise it was still good Service was also top notch, which i normally don't notice so i felt like the staff went above and beyond, especially considering the number of takeout orders they were dealing with. read more

Probably one of the best flavored Indian spots I've been to here! I'm a fan of super spicy food and this def exceeded expectations. They do warm you that the vindaloo chicken is spicy but believe me, it's extremely spicy. I have a pretty good tolerance level and this was def up there. It's def flavorful so you will def keep eating. The curry is also great! Ask for raita to help cool your palette if you need and def try the gulab Jamun! One thing to make this spot perfect would be that they offered drinks but it is byob which is great! read more

So I've ordered from this restaurant a million times but this is my first time finally dining in. Im not sure what I expected but it was a pretty decent experience. The inside was a bit on the cozier side and dimly lit which was fine, nothing extravagant. The service was slower than I expected, nothing awful but just not great, took a long for everything to come especially if we asked for anything extra. The medium spicy chicken tikka wasn't as spicy as it is when I order takeout but that was ok. The Garlic naan was delicious, samosas were maybe a 7/10, not as flavorful as it used to be but still good. Overall like I said it was a decent experience but ill just stick to takeout so I wont have to worry about service delays! read more

Where to start? This place has 5 stars for a reason! A very authentic Indian restaurant! My husband and I started off with the chicken samosas and lamb rolls. The portions are huge! We realized after we could have opted for the dinner special they have but glad we got the full servings of the apps instead of one of each with the special. We took the leftovers home and heated it up in the oven. Both are SO GOOD! For dinner we got the chicken tikka spicy and chicken curry (no cream for me). My husband loved how spicy and delicious the chicken tikka was and I absolutely loved the chicken curry. We both left with full bellies! Definitely a spot to come back to read more

The service here is amazing - we arrived without a reservation and were told the wait would be about an hour and a half. We were ready to leave and come back another day when they told us if we could eat within an hour we could have a table - not a problem cause we're fast eaters! The pre-fix is such a good deal, app, entree and dessert for ~$27. The chicken samosa was hands down one of the best ones I've had in a minute - and the Chicken makhani was deliciously spicy and perfectly seasoned. Also want to note that the waiters here were some of the most attentive ones in a while - my cup of water was constantly being topped off and we were always being checked on. Cannot wait to return here and try more of the delicious food. read more

Indian restaurants to get your tikka masala or saag paneer fix are a dime a dozen in New York, and glancing at Atithi's menu I would've guessed this was your run of the mill restaurant. It's always lovely to be pleasantly surprised by an amazing meal, and I am here to say that the depth of flavor in the curries I had here have me calling this one of the best Indian restaurants I've been to in recent memory, and this is just a casual spot on Grand St. I appreciate that they start you off with some complimentary papadum with a tamarind and green chutney, like an Indian chips and salsa, which almost never come complimentary at restaurants anymore. This was a tasty way to whet the appetite for the appetizer and soup. Their $12.95 lunch special includes a generous appetizer portion on top of the entree, and there was so much food I had enough to save for a second meal. While I loved the mulligatawny soup, I was floored by the shrimp tikka masala I ordered. The pieces of shrimp were large and plentiful, and the sauce had a smokiness that took this curry to the next level. It was so good I often fantasize about this tikka masala, whose smokiness I cannot replicate at home. My server was so friendly and really on top of refilling my water glass, and even gifted me a mango lassi on the house. I found the lassi to be too heavy on the sweetness for my palate, but probably perfectly fine for most people. I'm curious to return for other dishes, but I will likely be tempted to order the shrimp tikka masala again. read more

After seeing this Indian restaurant on Yelp with its glorious 5-star rating, I was intrigued to try it out on a Friday afternoon. Atithi offers a $15 lunch special (price must've recently increased because I saw photos from fellow reviewers that stated lunch special was only $12.95 just 3 months ago). Lunch special is valid Monday-Friday from 12pm-3pm, excluding holidays. From the special, you can select an appetizer and choice to entree which comes with basmati rice. There is limit selection of appetizers and entree but protein includes vegetarian, chicken or lamb options. Do note that they charge extra $1 for lamb selection. I really wanted to try the chicken vindaloo but I had did some research and read reviews prior to coming and I guess reviewers put me off a bit when they said the vindaloo was really spicy. I asked the waiter if the spice level for the vindaloo could be adjusted and unfortunately I couldn't. He told me the spice level for the vindaloo was a 10/10 and while I eat a lot of spicy food and can handle the kick, I did not want to risk spending the rest of my outing seeking a bathroom. So I opt for the chicken curry and chicken samosa for appetizer. Also, ordered the chicken tikka marsala. While the vindaloo's spice level could not be adjusted, the waiter did ask us the level of spice we wanted for the curries and we selected medium spicy. The appetizer was only one chicken samosa but it was a huge samosa. Cutting into the samosa, you'll find grounded spice chicken. The flavor was really good and I really like the green sauce that accompanied it on the platting. The chicken curry came out with the rice and upon first taste, I noticed the curry was not spicy at all (well, to me) even though I ordered medium spicy. The waiter told me it was a 4-5/10 in regards to the vindaloo's spice level, which got me curious whether I probably would've been able to handle the vindaloo spice. The waiter did ask if I wanted to add more spice to my chicken curry since I said it wasn't spicy at all for me, but I said it was fine. Food was tasty but Indian food never disappoints! The waiter was really nice and was refilling our water cup just about every time I took a sip. I might try the vindaloo next time I'm back! read more

First off, ambience wise, it was a little trippy inside with the dim lighting and slightly warm. But it was nicely decorated and vibrant overall. In terms of food, this is a decent spot for Indian food. If you're looking for really ethnic style Indian food, this probably isn't the right place. Chicken malai kebab - I think this was the best dish of our meal. Super soft, flavorful, tasty. Lamb Korma - average, decent, not a lot of flavor but lamb was cooked well. Chicken korma - really enjoyed this, chicken cooked well, can really taste the cashew. Lamb biryani - this wasn't really a typical Biryani dish. Reminded me more of Punjabi biryani. Was more like a pulao than Biryani, but the lamb was cooked well, and the quantity was great. Service was attentive and fast. Quantity of food was also really high. Overall, I would say this is a good spot. In the area, it's hard to find much better. That being said, there was nothing overly special about the food. It was all just quite solid. read more

YASSSSSS - legit delicious Punjabi food (think London-curry-house style) in Brooklyn! We live in Fort Greene and have hunted and hunted for places serving the real deal comfort food of Chicken Tikka Masala and Chicken Vindaloo, Saag Paneer, etc - but alas have always been greatly disappointed. At long last we've found a place we like as much as some of our favorites in Manhattan. The service was very fast and very nice. The papadom and chutneys were deliciously high quality (and free without asking), the naan (both garlic and plain) were scrumptious, and most importantly: the curry's were extremely flavorful, with the vindaloo bringing the heat as promised. We will definitely be back, and will update our review once we've tried more of the classics on their menu. read more
