    Butter Chicken
    Angela P.

    Was craving some casual Indian food and when I saw they had ROSE LASSI, I had to try it. (Could there be a better lassi than mango lassi?) My friend from India was quite pleased with this spot. For a casual Indian spot in the city the flavors were on point according to him. We ordered: Afghani Chicken Korma Biryani Bowl Butter Chicken Spicy Lamb Kati Roll Paneer Makhani Kati Roll Mango Lassi Rose Lassi Definitely agree this is a pretty good lunch spot.

I ordered: BBQ Spicy Paneer Taco with chicken Afghani Lamb Bowl Butter chicken Biryani Chicken Tikka Masala Curry I loved the butter chicken the most! It was a good experience!

    Solid Indian lunch spot! Tried the paneer biryani bowl and it was flavorful! Wish it came with more of the yogurt/ raita on the side since the dish was a little dry but overall was worth getting. I'll def be trying more dishes

    Really impressed with this little eatery offering takeout and a couple of seats. I had a specially prepared korma with a traditional Indian Lassi -all very filling. Well worth a visit during the lunch hour. I will be back. Menu items include: Afghani Chicken Korma Biryani Bowl This rich, creamy, and mildly spiced delicacy features aromatic basmati rice, charcoal-grilled chicken, and a velvety texture. It is served with mint yogurt for the perfect flavor balance. Butter Chicken Biryani Bowl Tender tandoor-grilled chicken in a creamy tomato-butter sauce, layered with fragrant basmati rice and aromatic spices. Served with mint yogurt for a perfect balance of richness and freshness. Spicy Tandoori Chicken Biryani Bowl A blend of succulent tandoori chicken, marinated in yogurt, garlic, and aromatic spices, layered with fragrant, saffron-infused basmati rice. Slow-cooked with caramelized onions, roasted cumin, served with cooling mint yogurt. Dum Chicken Tikka Biryani Bowl A blend of succulent chicken, saffron-infused basmati rice dum cooked with garlic, and aromatic spices, served with cooling mint yogurt. $21.49 Lamb Biryani Bowl Tender lamb, marinated in bold spices and slow-cooked to perfection, served over fragrant basmati rice infused with saffron and aromatic herbs. Spicy Tandoori Paneer Biryani Bowl A blend of spicy paneer tikka, marinated in yogurt, garlic, and aromatic spices, layered with fragrant, saffron-infused basmati rice. Slow-cooked with caramelized onions, roasted cumin, and a hint of ghee, served with cooling mint yogurt.

    This spot is part of an emerging micro-neighborhood of quickish food purveyors targeting office workers plus those tourists who go to sleep early. I enjoyed the spicy tandoori paneer biryani. The complex spices had enough going on that I didn't even immediately add the accompanying green sauce. Will perhaps try out the kathi rolls next time.

    Stumbled upon this place during Holi, needing something filling but vegetarian. Single seating, more of a take out vibe or solo lunch. "Signature Dishes" are freshly prepared, so I recommend ordering before coming if you're in a rush. Accidentally ordered the Biryani instead of the curry, bland and dry without the usual vegetables/raisins- will update when I try the other foods!

    Chicken Tikka Masala

    I've enjoyed lunch at the Midtown location about ten times and I really enjoyed it. The Chicken Tikka Masala plate is very tasty. I also enjoyed the Chicken Tandori Kati Rolls. The Kati Rolls are reasonably priced (a little over $6 each). The restaurant staff are all very kind and accommodating. (I asked if they didn't mind substituting the salad for a small portion of rice and they did it with no problem). The restaurant floors and tables are all incredibly clean. They even have outlets on the tables (presumably to charge your phone? I didn't try them - not sure if they work). My only criticism is that it's a bit pricey. $17-20 for a platter. I understand given the location that the prices need to be enough to survive. However, there are other choices around. Perhaps reconsidering the menu and providing smaller options for less money (as far as the meals are concerned.) But this is a small criticism. Give Charcoal Eats a try -- great tasting food in a clean and friendly environment.

    Indian Accent - Amuse bouche

    What a gem! I've been to Indian Accent New Delhi and so was quite eager to try it out here in…read moreManhattan. However, we never really got to it, having been busy exploring the Semmas and Bungalows of the city. On a cold Saturday evening my partner and I decided to give Indian Accent a shot - got rather last minute reservations over the phone. They were kind enough to accommodate us for a 7 pm slot, and once we got there we were seated immediately. We chose the four course menu, and found each course to be better than the one before! The shorba (soup) and garlic kulcha amuse bouche was a nice touch to get things started - loved the tiny terracotta mugs. Proceeded onto the shakarkandi chaat and the chilly pork roti - the former reminding me of the delectable street food in Delhi winters with the latter being a very good Indian rif on birria tacos. The star of the show for me was the Tofu medu vada - so unique and flavorful and melt in the mouth! I've not had anything quite like it before. My partner had the wagyu kebab that he said was excellent! For mains we had the chicken malai and the paneer - both tasty, but by this point we were already so full, and had to get most of the mains to go. But because there's always room for dessert, for our final course we scarfed down doda barfi with ice-cream and sticky toffee banana pudding - both of which were finger licking delish! Our service was great too - Ty our server was so nice and had the best recommendations. I'd have never gone for the tofu medu vada among all the other options and he urged me to, and it really turned out to be the highlight of my meal. The cocktails were good too. All in all, I think this is such a nice upscale Indian dining spot for a night out in the city. Having tried most of the other trending newer spots, i think Indian Accent sits right among the top! I'd highly recommend and cannot wait to be back!

    TLDR: Creative, modern Indian fusion dining with standout service and a fun prix fixe experience -…read moremixed dish hits, but worth it (get the butter chicken kulcha!!) I believe there are other Indian Accent locations in India, and was excited to try their NYC spot. We went on a weekend evening around 5pm and had a really enjoyable experience overall. Nice ambiance inside, didn't feel overly packed where we were sitting. Service was great for the most part. Shane, our main server, stood out and he was SUPER helpful in walking us through the menu and making thoughtful suggestions. That said, it's definitely a team-service setup, so multiple staff members will assist your table throughout the meal. Everyone had great energy and made the experience feel polished. We did the prix fixe menu and went with 3 courses each across our group of 3. Two of us opted for the "midis" and one went for dessert, but we ended up sharing everything. Even though the portions initially seem small, we were surprisingly full by the end. One important note: go into this with an open mindset. This is not your typical, "generic" Indian food experience - it's much more modern, creative, and experimental. We did a lot of research before deciding what to order, so here's what we got/ordered: Amuse bouche (complimentary): A pumpkin shorba (soup) served in a cute little cup and blue cheese naan. Both were a great start, and we actually asked for more of the shorba. They said they'd bring it, but it never came, which was a bit disappointing, but still appreciated the palate cleanser concept. Appetizers (ordered 3): * Phulka jackfruit: Kind of like a taco - really nice flavor with these crispies on it and a nice sauce. * Kashmiri morel mushrooms: I'm not usually a mushroom person, but this was excellent. Loved the creamy base and overall flavor. * Potato sphere chaat: Probably the weakest of the three. It was more sev than potato, and didn't quite hit for me. Midis (ordered 2): * Yogurt kebab: Very interesting texture with a nice chutney base * Sweet pickle pork: I didn't personally try it, but the other two in my group loved it Mains (ordered 3): * Sweet corn vadai: Really unique and flavorful - one of the standouts * Paneer kofta: Not my favorite; different from what I expected * Chicken tikka meatballs: Surprisingly good! I don't usually love meatballs, but these had a great texture and flavor Accompaniments (ordered 3): * Butter chicken kulcha: Easily my favorite - would come back just for this, but note it can be a little "greasy" * Daal with black garlic naan: The naan was unique with a slightly sweet taste; the daal could've used a bit more depth * Chana masala kulcha: A little spicy but still very flavorful Dessert (ordered 1 + 1 complimentary): * Banana sticky date cake: A lovely, satisfying end to the meal * Makhan malai (complimentary for a birthday in our group): Very airy and unique texture - not really for us personally, but appreciate the team supporting our birthday celebration We skipped drinks even though the menu is extensive - we wanted to focus on the food Overall, I really liked this place. The dishes were a mix - nothing was outright bad (except maybe the makhan malai for our taste), but not everything was a hit either. Still, it's a fun, elevated dining experience with creative takes on Indian cuisine. I'd definitely go back, especially for the butter chicken kulcha. Only real miss was the forgotten re-order of the amuse bouche, but otherwise service and vibes were strong.

The place was exactly what we were looking for... Inexpensive, elegant, and comfortable atmosphere! The place wasn't busy. Amazing service and delicious food! The food was fresh and came out fast. Portions are generous, so you definitely won't leave hungry. I had the Lentil Soup as the first course and Aloo Gobi Matar as Entrée. Both were tasty, also gluten free, dairy free and soy free. Their menu offers a variety of choices, including options that are gluten free, dairy free, and soy free.

    A little corner of London magic right here in Hell's Kitchen!…read more If you've ever stood on a rainy London street, desperate for a bowl of proper Northern Indian food, you can stop romanticizing -- Jaz Indian Cuisine on Hell's Kitchen has that exact magic, and it's right here in Manhattan. The star of the show is Jaz herself -- the owner, hostess, and bartender all rolled into one wonderfully warm, charming British woman who somehow makes you feel like you've been a regular for years within thirty seconds of walking through the door. She's the kind of host who remembers how you like your chai and makes the whole room feel like her living room. Now, the food. The Chana Masala is deeply spiced, rich with tomato and chickpeas, the kind of dish that makes you question every mediocre version you've had before. The Saag is silky, fragrant, and genuinely soulful -- spinach that actually tastes like something. And the Onion Kulcha? Pillowy, caramelized, absolutely yummy -- the kind of bread you'll be tearing into long after you're full. The flavors here are the real thing -- bold, layered, and unapologetically authentic. This isn't watered-down, please-everyone Indian food. This is the genuine article, executed with care and a distinctly British-Indian sensibility that you rarely find outside of London. Every dish tastes like someone's nana's recipe, if that nana happened to be a brilliant chef. Do yourself a favor: add some spice to your life and get yourself to Jaz Indian Cuisine. Hell's Kitchen doesn't know how lucky it is.
