Bhatti has been a go to restaurant in Lexington Avenue for so many years .. have been working in NYC for 6plus years and always been to bhatti for lunch .. great location right in the heart of Lexington Avenue.. for newcomers you could miss this restaurant from outside because of the construction work .. it's worth a visit . Lots of space inside to sit and eat . Great service . Nice ambience e inside . Went to eat lunch and of course ordered a "lunch special" combo. .. the quantity was sumptuous. Couldn't eat the whole thing . Loved dhal makhni. Very nice.. chicken kebab was so tender and so good ! Went well with the pudhina chutney . Goat curry was good too. Just toooooo spicy . I love Indian spice but this one was really spicy :) wish they had a dessert for the meal. A gulab jamun or something would have equalized the spice levels here .. good experience overall. .. thought of giving 4 stars but giving it a solid 5 star .. read more

Overall just not a great experience. The service was unfriendly and the vibe was off from the start, which made the night less enjoyable. Food was okay but nothing special, especially given the prices. There are a lot of better Indian options in NYC with warmer hospitality, so I probably wouldn't go back. read more

I think this is a solid option in the Murray Hill area if you're craving classic North Indian comfort food--especially butter chicken. The butter chicken here is really the standout dish: rich, creamy, and well-balanced with just the right amount of spice. The kali dal and butter paneer were good too. The ambiance is pleasant and relaxed, making it a comfortable place for a casual dinner or a small group meal. Service has been consistently good during my visits--attentive without being overbearing. read more

We ordered the biryani, chicken chettinad, and the paratha! Stopped by on a Saturday night around 9:30PM and they informed us the kitchen was closing soon - and checked in a few times on us before the kitchen closed. Food was delicious and the service was attentive - our water was never left empty! At the time we went, it wasn't too busy - 4-5 tables with a few couples and lone diners. Highly recommend checking this place out if you're in the area! I'm craving the biryani! read more

Great South Indian restaurant on Lexington in Mid-town. Servers are very friendly and welcoming. The food was very tasty and the beers were nice and frosty. Having been to India many times it was very traditional. Will be coming back! read more

This is my neighborhood goto saag paneer place. Their food is always super fresh and has delicious flavor.

Decent Indian spot in Kips Bay with a simple, no-frills approach that really lets the food shine. There's no theatrics--just well-balanced dishes that aren't overly spicy, which I appreciated. One of the best butter chickens I've ever had. If you're looking for good, straightforward Indian food done right, this is definitely the place to go. read more

Way overpriced for what it is. Could definitely get everything here for better and cheaper. Naan was good though Checking out took a whileee Ambiance is okay. Well lit, but not very chic. read more

Finally tried this much talked about indian place ! Glad both me and my friend were starving and were so ready to order and get started! We arrived at 5:30pm without any reservations and were the only one there for the next 15 min but soon it started getting super busy. Benarasi chaat - great start!! Unlike typical chaats, the tamarind chutney wasn't sweet and savory, it was hardly sweet. Not a complaint but it was different than what I was expecting. Great nevertheless! Rajma kebab- loved these! Soft and tender , slightly garnished with beetroot and some chutneys. Bhatti special daal - as expected, it was creamy and full of texture!! I would not say it was the best one but surely a great taste! Mixed vegetables- surprisingly, I loved this one the most! None of the dishes were super spicy but mild and flavorful! I'm so happy I finally tried this place! read more

Absolutely fabulous North Indian cuisine. No paper menus, just the QR code for their online menu, so you can choose in advance. Rohan Josh was delicious. So was the garlic naan (we got an extra order just to take back to the hotel). Friendly service. Small space but they didn't rush us to get out. read more

HORRIBLE. We ordered food via doordash, and were missing an entree. I called the restaurant and they were EXTREMELY defensive and rude. They asked to confirm if the bag had been stapled closed - and before I could answer they blamed the delivery person for having stolen the random entree - the bag had NOT been stapled and this HORRIBLE restaurant was clearly at fault. Not only were they rude, they were wrong and we will NEVER be ordering from here EVER again. I cannot believe a restaurant would speak to a loyal customer like this - I work on the same block in the Kiame Arcade building and eat here often - NEVER AGAIN. read more

Literally the best Indian food I've ever had. I would drive 4 hours here just for dinner. 10/10

Very good food I see a lot of bad reviews talking about the service but I did not have that problem when I went, the staff were pleasant and attentive and the food was some of the better Indian food ive had. The chai and sweet naan were my favorite. The ambiance was kind of giving hotel restaurant but the food made up for it. read more

Amazing amazing amazing place! The food is aromatic and flavorful! We are a veg family - We had the most delicious dal makhani, paneer tikka, rice naan, appetizers. Flavors were so perfectly balanced and this may be one of the best Indian restaurant in the city. We recommend this place for a family dinner, date night, takeout, friends get together etc. cannot go wrong here! read more

Service is very slow. Food takes forever to come. Ordered 1 appetizer and 1 entree (regular paneer entree) and still the food didn't come for over 30 mins. read more

Came here on a Tuesday evening with a reservation and were seated immediately. It's a pretty small place so if you want indoor seating, I would definitely recommend making a reservation. Here's what we got: Chili Gobi - really good! Not as spicy as you would think but has a decent kick! I was a really unique flavor I would say and was pretty good Saag Paneer - really yummy! Not usually a big fan of saag but this was really good, would recommend! Malai Kofta - this I would pass on. The gravy was decent but definitely on the sweeter side. I wasn't a big fan of the kofta, was kind of bland and just sweet. Overall, this is a decent place to get indian food. Nothing out of this world but definitely will satisfy your indian food craving! read more

This place was solid! Came here with a few friends and ordered a few dishes to share. The staff was very friendly and attentive and the ambience is quite nice.

This place blew our minds. Hands down, the BEST Chicken Masala I've ever had--rich, creamy, and bursting with flavor like it was made by culinary wizards. The naan was perfectly soft with just the right crisp on the edges. Everyone at the table was completely swept away, like we just got teleported to flavor heaven. If you're on the fence, trust me--run, don't walk. This spot is something special. read more

The meats here are fantastic! Ordered saag paneer and chicken biryani and both were delicious. The chicken here was moist and flavorful. Definitely come here for their "grill" items like their tandoori meats but the other curries you can find at other Indian restaurants. Great spot in Murray Hill! read more

Food was very oily, chole was too tangy. Okay experience. On a side note, music is too loud and a tiny bathroom that's always busy. read more

The quality of the food was mixed. My concern and criticism is for the cleanliness. The waiters hands were not clean at all and touch the food served. As previous review mentioned infestation which seemed consistent, the place needs a deep clean. Staff was friendly, but i lost my appetite due to lack of cleanliness. read more

I was charged $75 for a reservation I cancelled due to being diagnosed with Covid. the restaurant fought with me while I was sick over multiple emails. Prioritising revenue over humanity has left me stunned. read more

Food 4/5 Quality Indian food that will satisfy you and fill your stomach. We ordered the malai kofta and mushroom muttar -- both were good, but nothing mind blowing. It was very flavorful and hit just right with the naan and onion kulcha that we ordered. There is something here for everyone as Indian food is very vegetarian friendly. Our group was very hungry and it was my first meal of the day, so I licked the plate clean Service 3/5 Slow service as it took us almost 45 minutes to get our food after ordering. Ambience 2/5 Nothing to write home about. We sat a couple tables away from the door, which was annoying because every time someone would enter or leave, a rush of cold air hit us. Probably not the case in the summer. The space is small and can get crowded when multiple people enter at the same time. Very dim lighting to the point where it's even difficult to see the food. read more

The bread & rice were fine That being said bread in tandoor & rice in a rice cooker. Not exactly rocket science However, the handi station (curry) needs to be completely revamped. I ordered the butter chicken & the goat curry. Both curries have way too harsh of a spice & no balance. To the owner with spices you are supposed to use a tarqa per traditional Indian cooking. That means you bloom the spice in oil to mellow it out & balance it. Your sauces taste like someone dumped curry powder at the end of cooking. The goat was borderline inedible with the amount of spice...not mentioned at all in the description as spicy. I am Pakistani. If I say something is too hot, it's crazy hot No Indian restaurant can survive with poor curry read more

Bhatti is one of many Indian restaurants along these blocks of Lexington Ave. The atmosphere hews towards the fancy side, though prices are not as bougie as one might fear. Not a great deal, but won't break the bank either. I shared two chicken kebabs, an order of chicken tikka masala, rice, and garlic naan with my dining companions. The chicken was cooked nicely and the spices and sauces were a hit. I particularly enjoyed the ghost pepper chicken, which was surprisingly not too spicy. The chicken tikka masala was a faithful execution of this classic dish. I would recommend this as a decent Indian lunch or dinner joint. Service was good, though a little frosty. Smile! read more

I never order Indian food, probably because I don't really know what to order. So when we were in NYC, and had a chance to grab Indian food with my cousin and her BF, we went for it! And I loved it! He ordered items I would never think to order, so I got to try several new to me dishes, and it was great! The only downside was the wait for our food took a while, and when we ran out of naan to eat our food, and we ordered more, it took even longer, so our food was cold when we finished. We ordered: - potato app, not sure what it was called - paneer app - butter chicken - Chicken Tikka Masala - Onion Kulcha - Garlic naan - Saag Paneer We went through like 10 orders of naan amongst the 5 of us, it was delicious! I can't seem to match up the names of the dish we got with their online menu. But overall, we enjoyed all the dishes here! read more

Food - 4.5 Service - 5 Ambiance - 3.5, doesn't have much of a vibe if you're looking for an aesthetic place but is comfortable, casual and clean YUM! Bhatti Indian grill has been on my list for a while now and for good reason. The food was excellent! We were able to walk in with no res around 7:15 pm and grab the last open table which was awesome. The service was great very quick and friendly. We ordered the chicken tikki masala, nizami korma, basmati rice and garlic naan. Everything was incredible and perfect for a cold nyc winter night. They service beer and wine as well which was reasonably priced and a very heavy pour! read more

Half vegetarians- we got the stuffed mushroom, achari paneer, and the red bean patty for appetizers. Loved the first two, very unique and delicious. Bhagan bharta eggplant spicy which was amazing. The palak paneer and paneer tikka masala which were both good. The dal was okay but my husband liked it a lot. Also the vegetarian biryani was amazing. I never like it and it just tasted like Indian fried rice. The service was fine, no complaints. I've had Indian food many times and it was good. It didn't come with rice which was a complaint but otherwise the food self is always so good. read more

Great spot! The chicken korma was fabulous- be sure to try the lemon rice! Very reasonable prices.

This used to be one of the best Indian places once upon a time but not anymore, they need to reinvent themselves. The food, service and ambience in comparison to other new Indian places remains substandard. Service as I said is mediocre, they are under staffed hence the time from 'order to food on table' took long, which could be still discounted as there is genuine manpower issue. But that is no excuse for food being bland and greasy. Not the place I used to visit. Paneer cubes were hard, dal and kebabs were too greasy. We liked the Bernardi chaat, no complains there. Do try and decide for yourself. My friends have been regular patrons here, too have visited this place on a few previous occasions and have loved it. Hope they really do make some improvements. read more

Ordered takeout on Sunday from here. For the 3 of us, we got 2 paneer tikka masalas, 1 daal Bhatti, garlic naan, and rice. It was A LOT of food--we had half of the paneer and almost all of the daal leftover! The paneer was creamy and flavorful, with a hint of sweetness. I didn't mind the sweetness, but I do wish it had been a bit spicier. The paneer itself wasn't the softest, but it wasn't rubbery or chewy either, so it worked! I was pleasantly surprised by the daal Bhatti! No wonder it's the titular dish--it was rich, creamy, and super flavorful. The garlic naan tasted exactly like the frozen one sold at Trader Joe's though. Overall, the meal was hearty, and comforting! read more

Loved it!! We went for a work lunch and it was really nice and straightforward to order. They bought us one of each protein (fish, lamb, chicken, paneer) so they bring you one appetizer of each and one of each entree and everything was delicious! Super simple and tasty, def recommend read more

When I saw the rating on Yelp I was little skeptical about going to this restaurant but all my doubts were cleared once I ate their food. We were a group of 8 and made the reservations 2 days ago for Sunday lunch. Three of us were sharing vegetarian food so I can only mention about what we had. For starters we ordered banarasi tikki chaat and achaari paneer tikka. Both were perfect. Paneer tikka was well grilled. For main course we ordered bhaati dal, kadhai paneer and for breads butter naan, garlic naan and onion kulacha. Dal was soo good. Vegetable biryani was good too. I found it little sticky but taste was good. It was a perfect place to eat naan and dal on a chilly morning. read more

So, my daughter, sister and I have been to Bhatti's restaurant and had such a wonderful meal that we decided to go back again on our trip to NYC. We called to make sure that they would be open and we were told to come in. We took a Uber and arrived at 3:15pm. We were told to our face that they weren't open. Additionally, I said that we just called and were told to come to the restaurant. The young man shrugged his shoulders and made no comment. However, when we walked out and looked for nearby restaurants, we watched new customers walk in. Disappointed is not even the word to describe our feelings. What was once a favorite restaurant in NYC, is now one of our least favorites. I don't know what the deal was but they don't have to worry about us ever returning based on their poor customer service. read more

Ordered from here for lunch because I saw that they had a lunch special which came with 2 main dishes, dal, rice, and naan for less than $20. It sounded like a good deal online, but when it came it was even more food than I imagined it would be. This food fed me for 3 meals and easily could have fed me for a 4th meal. The food was also so tasty--saag paneer is one of my favorite dishes and this one did not disappoint at all! The food was delivered pretty fast and it was all hot and well packaged. I cannot say anything about the service of the restaurant since I ordered delivery online, but I would definitely go in person at some point in time. Overall a great spot for Indian food with great portions! read more
