    Chaat
    Sylvia T.

    Well priced nicer Indian restaurant in LES. Super small inside so get a res but service is good! Portion sizes are on the smaller side too though. Apps: chaat was crunchy and good. I've lowkey never had anything like it. Textures and flavors were spot on. Chipotle chicken was just chicken w Chick-fil-A sauce but lowk the best and gobi Manchurian was decent but nothing crazy. Plates: lemon chicken was fine, shrimp coconut curry was good but just like normal coconut curry which with enough fat can never be bad. The chicken tikka was mid as hell, feel like I could get that anywhere Garlic naan was decent Overall I thought it was decent but nothing special.

    Solid, unpretentious Indian Joint in the LES. Walked in around 6:30pm on a Saturday and were able to get in right away with all the tables being nearly empty. What we got : 1 - Bok Choy Chaat : tasted like normal chaat but with a twist 2- Chole Saag : Also pretty good 3 : Zaatar Naan : we took a risk with this one we really liked it. It was very flavorful and paired well with our Indian food. Service was fast and efficient as well.

    This is one of my absolute favorite spots in the Lower East Side ! I'm not exaggerating when I say you will not be disappointed! The food at Gazab is next-level. Every dish was packed with bold flavor and creativity. Gazab truly lives up to their name. Here's what we ordered and loved: Kolkata Pani Puri Shrimp Ghee Roast Bhut Jolokia Chicken Tikka Hyderabadi Chicken Dum Biryani Lemon Chicken Bokchoy Chaat Kori Sukka Garlic Naan Alphonso Mango Lassi The service was also phenomenal which made the experience 10x better! If you're looking for somewhere that's fun, flavorful, and guaranteed to impress your friends, this is the place to go!

    Went to Gazab, a cute little Indian restaurant in NYC! Tried the Bhoot Jolokia Chicken Tikka -- super flavorful, tender, and juicy, with just the right amount of heat. The Hyderabadi Chicken Biryani had a nice presentation and looked great, but the taste was just alright. The ambience was cozy and authentic, making it a nice spot overall for Indian food in the city.

    Gazab isn't just a meal... it's a full-blown love story on a plate Every dish felt like it was made to impress you personally. Thecha paneer bringing the heat, tandoori kabab serving smoky perfection, chicken biryani wrapping you in the warmest hug, and those dahi kababs... soft little clouds of happiness you never want to end. And just when you think it can't get better -- the people steal your heart. The whole team radiates warmth, and the head? An absolute sweetheart who turns great food into an unforgettable experience. What a vibe .. ambiance was so cozy with positive vibes ..

    Absolute Gazab food! Random walk-in with family on a Sat night, thanks to rejections from Dhamaka and Bungalow. And aren't we glad that happened! Best thing about food; you don't have to be a celebrity chef to deliver bold flavors, something that was an absolute hit on their non-vegetarian taste plates. The Kori Sukka ($18) was a hit, and so was the Pani Puri ($13). Gobi Manchurian ($15) could've used a bit more spice, just as the Tandoori Pomfret ($22). Mushroom Panner Biryani ($24) while not spicy, was very tasty, and so was the Chicken Dum Biryani ($26). Rajasthani Lal Maas ($26) was packed with flavor, just as the Dal Bukhara ($20) with it simply rich flavors. You should not miss the Gulab Jamun Creme Brulee ($11). Shout out to Anveer, our server, and specific mention of Chef Vamshi, who manages to challenge the celebrity chefs in the area with traditional classics, presented in an effective manner with plenty of flavor!

    Gobi Munchurian

    I enjoyed the mix of fusion and classic dishes here. Prices were also about average, working out to about $40-$50 per person for a large group. The appetizers were all tasty. Gobi manchurian was crispy with a sweet and tangy sauce. The pani puri was my favorite appetizer - flavorful filling with sweet, sour, and herbaceous water, plus a cute presentation with the light bulb bottles. The bok choy chaat was nice, but pretty standard. For main course, I tried mushroom paneer biryani, dal bukhara, and garlic naan. The biryani was full of warm spices and flavored a bit more subtly than other biryani I had. The dal bukhara was my favorite, with just the right amount of richness, pairing well with garlic naan. The creme brulee was a cool fusion dessert. It's really just a gulab Jamun with creme brulee on top, but the two parts complement each other well.

    Overall loved Gazab for casual Indian food - The mango lassi and food was really good and the service is pretty quick. There's not a ton of space for seating but it's perfect for a semi-casual meal. Can't go wrong with their garlic naan and chicken tikka but the appetizers were even better.

    The staff was very kind. We ran in from a sudden down pour soaked and they gave us napkins to wipe down haha. It's a casual spot and the food is great. It's very rich in flavor and warm cozy dishes.

    I've grown up eating my mom's home cooked Indian meals and I would say this place does a pretty good job. I'm usually really picky with Indian food and thought this place was delicious and very cute! It takes a twist on making it fun while still being flavorful. Service was great and attentive.

    This is a small restaurant, so definitely make a reservation! The menu was on a QR code and service was pretty quick on a Thursday night. To start, we got the Kolkata Pani Puri, and the water came in a lightbulb. We also shared the Hyderabadi Chicken Dum Biryani (my fave) and the Kerala Shrimp Moilee. We also got some garlic naan. They only had one dessert, the Gulab Jamun Creme Brûlée, which was delicious.

    Gulab Jamun Creme Brulee

    Not your typical traditional Indian restaurant. The food here is very unique and creative. We started with the Bokchoy Chaat. I'm a big fan of Samosa Chaat and not a fan of adding more vegetables to an item I already like, but I thought the chaat was really good. Somehow, the bokchoy, the pomegranate and the chutney mixed together created an amazing flavor profile. We also had the Chipotle Chicken Tikka. I thought it was good, but not a must-have dish. We shared the Hyderabadi Chicken Dum Biryani. At first, we thought the portion wouldn't be big enough to share, but it was perfect for two. And it tasted excellent. It was a little on the spicy side, but I couldn't stop eating it. For dessert, we ordered both desserts that the restaurant carries; the Gulab Jamun Creme Brulee and the Lychee Firni. Both were amazing!! I would come back to the restaurant just to have dessert again! I never thought that a gulab jamun stuck inside creme brulee would go together, but it totally works! And who would think to put lychee pieces in firni? I loved both and you can't go wrong with either.

    In no mood to dine out, we opted for takeout from Gazab while in the neighbourhood, craving their Hyderabadi Chicken Dum Biryani. The pickup was quick, and we were impressed by the cozy atmosphere of the small restaurant, which was 75% full. Back home, we dug into the biryani, which was a generous serving for two. While it tasted distinct from other Hyderabadi biryanis we've had, it was still decent. We're eager to revisit Gazab, dine in, and explore their other dishes. Based on our experience, I'd give it 4.5 stars, but since Yelp doesn't allow half-stars, I'm rounding it to 5. Looking forward to revisiting and reevaluating! No pressure Gazab !

    As someone natively from South India, I was genuinely thrilled to find a South Indian restaurant on…read morethe west side of Manhattan -- these spots are almost exclusively concentrated around Murray Hill and the east side. So Annapurna Bhavan had my curiosity before I even walked in. The ambience was good. They don't take reservations, but we were seated as soon as we walked in. Sadly, the food didn't quite deliver. THE GOOD The dosas were well-made and honestly the highlight of the meal. Crispy, properly thin, no complaints there. THE NOT-SO-GOOD Ordered a Rose Milk. Got a rose lassi. These are two completely different things -- rose milk is a light, chilled milk drink; lassi is a yogurt-based beverage. Not a small mix-up if you know South Indian cuisine. The dahi vada was a letdown. It hadn't been soaked in yogurt nearly long enough -- the vadas were still firm, which defeats the whole purpose of the dish. Authentic dahi vada should be pillowy soft. A lot of the menu leans heavily Americanized. The oothappam topped with cheese and jalapeño is a prime example -- it's more Tex-Mex than Tamil Nadu. Fusion is fine, but don't call it traditional. BOTTOM LINE If you're in the neighborhood and craving something South Indian-adjacent, it's convenient and the dosas will do the job. But if you're someone who grew up eating this food and wants the real thing -- you'll probably leave a little disappointed. The location is great; the authenticity needs work.

After an hour of waiting for our food, the three tables around us who arrived after us already got their food and were nearly done with their meal.

Before leaving, we confront the owner about the inconsistencies in his story, but he just double downs on his lie, alleging that we don't understand how a restaurant is run. For some reason, he even started to yell at the busgirl who was trying to get him to apologize? In addition to holding us hostage for an hour and continued lying, he tries to make the racist point that Indian food is more sophisticated and takes longer to prepare than other types of Asian food. I feel there are certain standards in the NYC service industry given the competition, and this was a confusing and unacceptable experience. The food was admittedly good, but not good enough for them to have the attitude they had.
