I've ordered take out here plenty of times and it's consistently good! Last night I was particularly hungry and placed my order thinking my food was gonna be here in a hour according to grub hub/Yelp and it was here in 20 minutes! I really like their chicken tikka masala (spicy) and the servings are really big for the price you pay. I don't write many reviews and only left this review b/c of the customer service, I made a mistake and ordered twice cause I didn't order a coke on my first order and the app didn't notify me that it had canceled the first, anyways I called they answered on the first ring and canceled my first order and threw in an extra can of coke for free! Really nice people and highly recommend this place for the good food, great customer service, and fantastic delivery time! read more

I haven't been there in a long time, so I don't know about the ambiance anymore. I have my food delivered now. The food is good and filling - if you get the "combo" between 4 PM and 9 PM. I can always tell when a new cook is in the kitchen, though. Sadly, "the heat" (the spiciness) is not as strong. The last time I ordered Chicken Shahi Korma, I had to add my own chopped pepper. The chicken samosas aren't as good anymore either. The dough seems different, thicker maybe. They need to put somebody old school back in the kitchen! read more

Was in the mood for Indian food, so my partner ordered chicken tikka masala with garlic naan on the side. I thought the curry base was good because it was smooth and flavorful with a bit of tomato taste. They gave a good amount of chicken with it as well, which I appreciated. The garlic naan was bigger than I expected and it was up to par. Wasn't a place that absolutely WOWed me, but I thought it was a pretty solid place. I'll probably order to-go again with this place.

Delhi Masala - The worst food I ever had paneer makhani and paneer tawa And aloo tiki weird food Refund will be appreciated - Indian Near Me - New York, New York

Pretty flavorless chicken curry. It felt like the chicken wasn't seasoned at all and it was just plain. Even the curry wasn't that great with all of it either. The rice, sauces, and the samosa were awesome. The naan bread is hefty and like one big pizza dough. Those were all great, but unfortunately the main dish was nothing special. I feel I could've made it even, which is not a compliment. Good thing is that it was very warm even 10 later when I finally got home. read more

We ordered take out. It was completely amazing. The service was late but the food was hot. I can't say anything about ambiance because I ordered online. read more

Great pick up specials, flavorful masalas and able to accommodate my dietary needs (celiac/gluten free).

Amazing food! My only complaint is that they are frequently closed at random, despite the hours advertised.

​I just had a lite dinner at Delhi Masala, and my experience was HORRIBLE!!! But not for the reason one might think. In other words, the food was good, not great, only passable. The problem was, as an African American in the heart of HARLEM, the waiter/manager never acknowledged my presence. Not a hello. Not a thank you. Not even "a please come again." This man of color, whose skin was darker than mine, doing business in the heart of Harlem, didn't see me as a customer. But worse than that, he didn't see my humanity. We have to do better. read more

Super rude! I used to dine here around 6 years ago. The staff used to be kind and friendly. I'm not sure if it's under new management. But the workers are very dour, almost as if they rather you not be there. I don't like to feel like I'm bothering or harassing wait staff if I ask for something. The place is also extremely dark. Coupled with their depressing demeanor, it's just not a good atmosphere. I had to ask for condiments (the green mint and chutney sauce-it should automatically come w my meal. Then it took them forever to bring it-as my food was getting cold, I had to get up and ask for it again. Mind you, there was only three ppl including myself in the whole place-wasn't busy at all. I also asked for the red onion relish which used to be complicate-they charged for that. Fine, but it shouldn't take all day to bring out. They need a little more decorum! read more

Tasty Indian food in the heart of Harlem. I have dropped by Delhi Masala a few times and have not been disappointed with the restaurant's service. Typically, I order the appetizer and entree combination for takeout. The food has been consistently on point, and I have not been disappointed. Depending on the person who is working at the front bar, the guy can be kind of short. The food does not take too long to come out - it usually takes about 10 - 15 minutes for take-out orders. I have a feeling that this is more of a take-out/delivery type of establishment because I rarely see people eating at the restaurant. read more

The food was so good. Im so glad I found this place. I got the combo which will be my new go-to. I got a chicken samosas with the tandoori chicken and the onion chutney. Everything was delicious. The combo comes with rice and plain naan. I will be coming back. read more

I ordered the lamb vandiloo which comes with a side of rice. I also order plain Naan. It was my first time ordering from them and I dislike the curry because it was too oily and very very spicy. I have had my fair share of Indian cuisine but I believe it would have been a great idea to have different level of spiciness. I love spicy food but when eating I really couldn't enjoy the food just the heat from pepper. This would be my last time ordering from them. The Naan was very fluffy. The delivery driver (uber eats) was also punctual and Communicated well. read more

The chicken tikka masala was quite good and the portion was quite generous for the price. The main dishes come with a serving of rice. The naan was also good, although not as fluffy as other places I've been to. I had the gajjar ka halwa for dessert, which was basically a warm bowl of sweet grated carrots. I couldn't really taste the pistachio in it, sadly. My friend enjoyed the kheer. The server was friendly and fast, and the main dishes are all very reasonably priced. I would want to come back and try more of the menu! read more

i I tried the takeout option. I ordered online and picked up my meal. It took longer than advertised, so I waited an extra 5 minutes. The guy brhind the counter treated me with disdain. Maybe he was bothered that I didn't tip them for doing their job. Besides, I never ate here before, so I don't tip for a takeout meal. The man asked for my name and left the bag on the counter. I had to reach far for it. The food was just below so-so. The chicken Tikki Masala had 4 pieces surrounded by bland sauce. The chicken mamosa was mostly the what it was wrapped in. Very little chicken. The best thing was the garlic naan and that was just okay. This is not good Indian food. I give this place a NO NO! There is a better spot nearby, INDIAN SUMMER. The portions are smaller, but the taste and service is much better. read more

It's I was eating the chicken and tandoori bread, I decided to eat some of the rice that comes with the chicken, to my surprise a roach in it. I am never ordering from this place again. Also the chicken was tasteless (that's surprising in Indian food) and I paid $2 extra for garlic naan bread and it wasn't good at all! read more

Lasuni Gobi is all I have to say. I use to be a vegetarian before years back and this was always something I made it's so interesting how the flavor of battered friend cauliflower can remind you and chicken nuggets. Delhi Masala takes this recipe and kicks it up with there sauce. It really feels like your eating sweet and sour chicken. I ordered take out because I had some running around to do. Next time I do come here if I'm not going to sit down and enjoy these right then and there I'm going to order the sauce on the side. That way it's not all mushy, still tasted excellent for sure. I ate mines the next day and loved it. read more

I go here often and love their chicken tikka masala! The staff are friendly and it's in a convenient location (close to me, ha ha!) so I very much appreciate that! The prices are affordable, the food is good, the location is convenient - for me it's all a win. read more

Went here before the show at The Apollo. Great food and great service. The food, service and prices are amazing. Definitely recommend this place. Will be going back again. The chicken saag is a must try. read more

I've enjoyed their chicken tikka special - it's a lot of food for a good price, and when the chicken is tender the Masala is really nice. But the issues I've had with Delhi Masala is their delivery drivers. It has finally reached a point where I can no longer support this restaurant. Each of the last 3 times I've ordered, the delivery person has called and refused to deliver the food to my door. They have lied about the reasons they can't (they forgot their bike lock, their legs hurt) or argued with me that is it unreasonable to expect them to walk up to my apartment. This is the only restaurant I've ordered from where it is a consistent problem. If you don't have an elevator in your building, be prepared for them to complain. The food is not worth the headache of dealing with them. read more

The food wasn't great. I could tell that the chicken was cooked separately from the stews and it was actually pretty dry in both dishes (we got the chicken tikka masala and the chicken saag). To be honest in the nicest possible way, the chicken tikka masala tasted like a bunch of baked chicken was tossed into a can of Progresso tomato soup. The naan was okay. The positive part of these dishes were that they are big enough to have for two meals. read more

Delhi Masala - Chicken Tikka Masala and Chicken Saag - Indian Near Me - New York, New York

I would have given this establishment five stars if not for the service. We sat down and we were not attended to for at least 10-13 minutes. Menus were not given to us. The waitress was unfortunately tending to cleaning tables and other things, which I feel could have been put aside to serve the customers. After receiving menus, she then left us alone for another prolonged period of time to tend to register duties and cleaning tables. The neglect was very apparent in the angry faces in other tables. When she finally took our orders, she repeated it back to us incorrectly three times. Having a spacey waitress made the experience unappealing to me as I was late for a show. The naan is great and warm with butter. The lamb saag curry was very good and also the cauliflower vegetarian curry had a nice kick. The food was still great, and not completely ruined by the experience. I recommend that you order delivery instead of sitting down. Apparently, they focus more on deliveries than on customers who are physically sitting. read more

I was so hype bc I ordered from them once and it was so delicious. I get them again and it was delicious until i started chewing on metal. It felt like a sliver from a tin can. I wanted to scream because I ordered a lot of food and I was so turned off. So basically it went to waste. My partner ate his chicken tikka because there was no sauce involved. Just chunks of chicken. I want to break everything bc I wanted Delhi Masala to be my go to. Now I will just cry silently in the corner. Bye. read more

Made a quick reservation on July 4th for six people around lunch time. Inside is toasty as the AC wasn't working all too well (and no fan), yet was manageable since most of the place was empty aside from us. Wasn't too hungry, so opted against any appetizers and settled on the Lamb Saag ($15) with a glass of red wine ($5). Each dish thankfully comes with its own rice, so didn't need to order anything extra. Food comes out in about 15 minutes - large portion of meat and spinach served in a metal bowl along with the rice. Lamb is cooked well and the saag is balanced (not too salty or spicy). Wine is your regular fare, probably would have been better with a beer. The waitress was nice and helped us through the menu since they were out of some things. Pretty good option for Indian food in the area. read more

This has to be the blandest Indian food I've ever tasted. No flavor or salt. Definitely would not try it again.

- felt kind of rushed during my lunch outing - was asked what i wanted to order before i even sat down - when we did sit down, and when i was ordering, i had to call the waitress back because she left early and I wasn't done yet - couple came after us, were sat down and eating, before i even got my lassi - service was so poor, I ended up leaving read more

Ordered delivery from here and food was very good. The Tikka Marsala tasted fresh but the chicken was a bit dry. The garlic nan was very good and fresh. Delivery was quick and food was well packed and warm. read more

I can just tell that there are no Indian workers at this facility. Chicken tikka masala taste like hot trash... soupy sauce...too watery...chicken too dry.... Switch from chicken breast to chicken thigh unless u actually cook the breast properly to avoid such Sahara desert levels of dry.. naan was okay I guess... didn't really taste like garlic which is what I specifically ordered. Will never order from here ever again, and I don't not recommend anyone to either. read more

Probably the worst food order experience and the food quality erxperienced till now in new york. I had order tadoori vegetables in starter and dal makhani and everything was so stale and sour. It tasted like the food was cooked a week ago and was so bad, has to throw the entire food away for 40$ . Please make your food fresh and atleast inform prior the customers if you cant. I would request not to order from here . read more

Great Indian place! The only downside is I live too far for delivery or else I would order here ALL THE TIME. I've eaten sit down two times and gotten take out once. The chicken tikka masala, sag paneer and Butter chicken is to die for. So delicious. Always come pipping hot (don't burn your mouth, because I definitely have). For take out I suggest doing their take out combo (5:00pm-9:00pm) where you get appetizer, entree, nan and rice for $13.95. That's a really good deal! The portions are always large and I have tons of leftovers for the next day! read more

Marvelous *Gordon Ramsay voice*, when I tell you this food slapped- it did. Service was amazing. The place is quiet and low key if you're looking for a solid meal that's tastes like home in another country. Someone's grandpa def made this food with love. My boyfriend and I got the chicken vindaloo, shrimp tandoori for our mains. We also got the chicken samosas w mango chutney on the side, delicious read more

Food was excellent wish they would give me more naan and wish there was more of a menu of options on heat but the food was nice and clean and delicious and I would so grab food from here again absolutely. read more

I just got into town, so I knew I wanted something tasty. I stumbled upon a lunch buffet here for all you can eat for $9.95! The chicken tikka masala and basmati rice were great. I didn't think I would like the chickpea spinach, but it was awesome. The restaurant was clean and well-kept. The waitress was constantly checking to make sure everything was spotless. I can't say this place had the best customer service of my life, but they weren't unpleasant so that was good. This a definitely a must try! read more

Awful, awful experience. Despite paying for my order, and waiting outside my building in the cold for 40 mins, phone on hand the entire time, 2 hours later I have still not received my food. And the proprietors have the audacity to disconnect my calls. The first and last time I will be ordering from this awful establishment. And will stick with Aangan and Anar as professional establishments in the vicinity. read more

I should have listened to the reviewer who had the watery tikka masala. But I was craving vindaloo and decided to take a chance. My order arrived quickly, but maybe too quick. Before I even opened the dish, I could tell my vindaloo sauce was too thin and watery by the way it moved around in the bowl. I was still hopeful since it smelled good enough. I received my order at 10:02p. By 10:09p, it was in the trash. Not only was the sauce thin, it was flavorless, as if water was actually poured on top of it. And yet, it was still somehow entirely too spicy. Like could not get through one bite without water spicy. Could barely taste the food because my tongue was numb spicy. And this comes from a spicy food lover. I could eat hot sauce out of the bottle. This sauce tasted like peppers and water, nothing else added. Tried topping it with some marinated onions to bring down the heat and add some flavor, but I just couldn't get past the watery sauce floating around my rice. TL;DR - Never again. read more

This used to be my go-to restaurant for Indian food since I moved to the neighborhood back in July but in the past month the all of the sauces have been way too thin, bland, and taste like nothing. I usually order a paneer makhani but the last three times I have ordered from here it is so bland. The first time it was bland and watery I honestly thought I had COVID because I couldn't taste anything. I didn't end up having COVID but I think the restaurant has changed its chef/cook. It's sad that the food hasn't been good over the last 1.5 months :( read more
