I think this place is good, but slightlyy overhyped in my opinion. The prices are definitely on the higher side, and the food, while tasty, wasn't super memorable. For drinks I started with the chai martini cocktail which looked prettier than it tasted. The mango lassi was delicious though! For food, got the Paneer roll which was tasty and tangy, and the Bone Marrow app which was a nice presentation but honestly it was just marrow. For mains we got the Butter Chicken, peas rice, and butter naan. All were very tasty, but nothing was super memorable. We finished with the lychee dessert which very good but very sweet. Service was good and the restaurant is pretty, but not a standout for me. read more

I heard about this restaurant from a TikTok video and I do feel as though I fell into the hype. It definitely overhyped the restaurant for me and I came in with high expectations. While the food (chicken briyiani, daal, saag paneer( was delicious, it wasn't worth the price point that it came at. Will I come back if friends ask? Yes. Will I come on my own will? Probably not. This was not exceptional but it was delicious. read more

GupShup is a must-try, and the ambiance is so beautiful to not check out at least once on both floors of the place, but I would recommend saving your dollars and only trying during their lunch hours as this restaurant is just so pricey!! I would definitely order a cocktail as I found them to be the standout - unique with bold, eastern flavors and very strong. The menu, while also unique, did not completely deliver when certain classic dishes have either a cult following or familial memory tied to it. Overall, a great vibe, but there is stiff competition in NYC! read more

Delicious and very creative Indian cuisine! I really loved some of their unique spins on classic dishes. The Pani Puri stuffed with a whipped cheese mousse were absolutely delicious and unlike anything I've had before. the Chole Tikki was also a fun take on the traditional chaat. I would've loved to try more of the appetizers, but we had to get entrees too. The Saag Paneer was perfect, and the Butter Paneer Masala was also nice but not my favorite item of the evening. Now, that Chili Cheese Kulcha....incredible and a must order! To wash it all down, I had the Laal Ishq, which was decent but a bit too sour for my liking. The drinks here are nice and strong, which is a plus. read more

We finally made it to Gupshup for my husband's birthday weekend and it absolutely did not disappoint. We've been wanting to try this place for a while, and even though it was freezing outside, we braved the weather and are so glad we did. The service was outstanding, and our server's sense of humor made the night even more enjoyable. He also gave great recommendations, and I truly appreciated that he didn't mock me for not liking cilantro. So many Indian restaurants make a joke out of that, which feels demeaning especially since it's genetic, not a personal choice. It was refreshing to be treated with respect. The spice levels were perfect - balanced, bold, and not watered down or "westernized". The food felt authentic and thoughtfully prepared. The chili mango lassi was a brilliant twist on a classic, and the jackfruit tacos hit the spot. The tadka daal and paneer were both perfectly made - comforting, rich, and full of flavor. We also tried the dahi sev puri, which I found a bit dense for my liking, but my husband loved the thick yogurt and puri. We also ordered the green chili laccha paratha and the onion chili cheese kulcha - the kulcha was our favorite (we had a stare down on who got the last piece). Even the dessert was fantastic. Usually I'm too full to enjoy dessert, but this one wasn't overly sweet, and the rose and lychee flavors complemented each other so well. Overall, Gupshup is everything we hoped it would be - delicious, authentic, and fun. We'll definitely be back! Might even have to order carry out from there tonight to warm us up from this -12 degrees! read more

Solid Indian spot in the heart of union square! They have elevated Indian dishes and there's definitely something for everyone! We had a variety of dishes that ranged from spicy to not and everything was cooked to perfection! The restaurant is really spacious and the staff was very attentive to us! That came around and gave the proper warnings when our dishes were hot and everything was coursed out well! The interior was fun and not too dark and definitely was not too noisy either! But some of the tables were a little close getting out of the restaurant was a little challenging. But I also really liked that the chef came around and asked us how our meal was which I thought was a nice touch! Definitely would go back to try other items on their menu! read more

Made a reservation for brunch at 11:30 am day after Christmas since that was the only spot available and we could not get reservations at Bunglow. I had very high expectations from this place but was disappointed. Ordered a bunch of items : Pav Bhaji, Matar Kulcha, Chilli Cheese Toast, bombay toast sandwich, keema sandwich, etc. since they sounded very good. However, when the food came, we were very disappointed. All the food was either cold or at best lukewarm. Being the first customers for the brunch, you would expect pav bhaji to be piping hot. Chilli cheese toast was not even toasty, it was almost melted cheese put on a slice of white bread. The sandwiches came with fries but didn't come with ketchup or anything. When we asked for some, we were served chutneys and got charged for them. Maybe I am spoiled for Indian food since I have been living in the San Francisco Bay Area for over 20 years and the Indian food there is simply awesome. This place would not survive even a year in the highly competitive market in San Francisco. read more

Came here for a friend's birthday lunch. They made a reservation before hand so we walked straight in. We were seated upstairs in the mezzanine area. The place was nicely decorated and also clean. There was plenty to choose from, left it to birthday friend to decide. Everything was solid quality and yummy. My favourite was the masala chai cocktail. It was very delicious - I squeezed in two! read more

Four days deep into NYC business meetings and conferences. The fancy steakhouses? Amazing. The craft cocktails? Divine. The Japanese food? Chef's kiss. After all that culinary sophistication, my Indian taste buds were staging a full-blown rebellion. I needed some masala and spice!! Time to answer the call. Enter GupShup. I'd heard the buzz but never made it until now, and they lived up to the hype. The interiors are beautifully done with a vibe that gets you in the mood before the food even arrives. Speaking of which - the food comes out fast, which is dangerous when you're this hungry. The Dum Biryani is presented like a magic trick, sealed under its traditional dough covering. Unwrapping it and devour whats inside. As a Punjabi, I am very particular about my Daal Makhani. Like, unreasonably critical. This one? 10/10. No notes. Chef hit it out of the park. We also ordered the sizzler platter, which buried the three of us under an avalanche of meat. Just make sure you enjoy all of this with those flaky lachha parathas? Come hungry. Leave with a food coma and zero regrets. read more

This is a beautiful spot with a nice layout. They have two dining rooms on the ground floor and another one on the second floor and the overall ambiance feels upscale. The food itself was very good which is why this isn't a lower rating. We started with paneer cheese rolls and dahi puri both of which were excellent. For the main course we ordered the Himalayan Morels and butter paneer masala with garlic naan and butter naan. One naan per person was actually very filling especially with the side of basmati rice. For drinks we tried the Ammi Jaan made with seedlip grove, curry reduction, lime juice, and guava purée, along with a mango chili lassi. Dessert was carrot halwa which was very good and a nice way to end to our meal. For a place at this price point the service really didn't match the experience. Our server, Santiago was not attentive at all. He barely checked in didn't ask even ask if we needed water and overall felt absent. Better than him was this other server whom actually checked in one us atleast once. Most of the servers seemed focused on one large table of about ten people but service quality should be consistent for all guests. Overall the food and ambiance were great but the service needs serious improvement for the price they're charging. read more

Dinner at GupShup was superb. As my guest was delayed, I ordered a mango lassi which was adorned with tiny flowers. Natalya had not eaten at a fine dining Indian restaurant and she was admiring the decor and the lighting. As a vegetarian, she ordered the Paneer Saag but thought it was tofu which Indian restaurants don't use. The menu has many tempting choices and I wanted to eat everything! Dahi Sev Puri considered street food came first. Pretty to behold. The puris shattered quickly so it's best to try and put the whole in one's mouth. Creamy and flavorful. Chicken Tikka and Laccha Paratha were my choices. Even though there was no gravy, the chicken was tender and oozing with spices and made each bite feel like I was in Mumbai. Natalya took one half of the paratha which she realized made her dish tastier. Kulfi Falooda was the dessert I chose and it was a joy to behold. The mélange of rich colors and the taste was spectacular. Even Natalya found it delicious and this was her first one. Siddish, our server was professional and kind. GupShup has been open for seven years and I feel sad that it took me so long to eat here. I can't wait to return for more stellar food. The prices here are high but the quality and authenticity is incredible. Highly recommended. read more

I have been wanting to come to a Vikas Khanna restaurant in forever and here I am finally! The decor, fab! The ambience, fab! The music was top notch! The host - not so fab. Can we welcome guests with a smile? The lack of engagement and welcoming energy from the staff in general was a turnoff. Probably because they get guests regardless!! Cocktail menu looked so fun with all sorts of fun names. I ordered Bombay Peacock Society and wow! It was amazing! The flavors were punchy, refreshing and the black cardamom worked so well together! Food: we ordered paneer rolls, chana Tikki and chicken tikka and they were all amazing! My fav was chicken tikka. For mains we ordered, butter chicken, paneer butter masala and achari chicken and hands down the best achari chicken and butter chicken I have had in New York so far. It was so lovely that the chef came outside to walk us through our orders and shared that the achari chicken is his mom's recipe. It was mind blowing. Definitely recommend it. read more

We wanted to go to Bungalow but missed the reservation window so Resy recommended Gupshup by the same group. We wanted to order the brunch special but were told that everyone on the table needed to order it and it would have been way too much food for us so we went à la cart. Ordered dal makhani (way too much cream and under seasoned) with missi roti ( absolutely delish), a keema toast sandwich that came with a side of salad or fries (we got salad) and a spicy green mint chutney - sandwich was very well made, and a matar kulcha - kulcha was pillowy soft and matar was slightly over salted but nonetheless well made. We were celebrating a birthday and ordered the carrot halwa à la mode with icecream and we cleaned that plate out. Not a crumb was left. The carrot icecream was a revelation. Service was efficient - just one person managing the place - it was busy but it was not lacking in anyway. Oh yes, they didn't charge for sparkling water and brought the dessert with a candle and didn't charge for it either. Would come here again and try other dishes if we are in the area. read more

Loved our Brunch at GupShu! It was such a fun, vibrant spot with bold flavors, great presentation, and a seriously creative bar menu. We ordered a mix of small plates and everything was delicious. The Thatte Idli was a standout. It was soft, fluffy, and served with sambhar plus spicy tomato and coconut chutneys. The Dahi Sev Puri was perfectly tangy and refreshing with that yogurt mousse and tamarind. The Chicken Tikka (served dry with mint chutney and chili onions) was super flavorful, and the Keema Pav was rich and comforting. The drinks were another highlight. We tried: * Khatti Imli -- tamarind, ume, and citrus with Tanduay Asian Gold rum; bright, tart, and so refreshing. * Masala Chai Martini -- Old Monk rum, cutting chai, cardamom, and honey; warm, cozy, and dessert-like in the best way. * Jadi Buti Wala Baba -- mezcal, pineapple, cucumber, lime, tomatillo shrub, and mint; herbal, smoky, and super unique. We also got a Mango Lassi, which was creamy, sweet, and the perfect cool contrast to all the bold flavors. Amazing vibe, great food, and one of the most interesting cocktail menus I've seen in a while. Would absolutely come back! read more

Looking at the vibrant colors of the dishes featured in my photos, you might be wary this restaurant is all show and no substance, but they would delightfully prove you wrong. Dish after dish would first surprise me with their presentation, followed by the unique ingredient pairings, followed by the flavor bombs I'd experience with each bite. GupShup is doing what few other Indian restaurants are doing in NY, and they've been at it for quite a few years at this point. I'm sure you could close your eyes and point to anything on the menu and it'd be a win, but I'd recommend starting with the onion cheese kulcha, dosa, paneer cheese rolls, and the crispy okra with guacamole. That last dish in particular was outstanding, with perfect amounts of crispiness, umami, and spice. What a way to marry North American and Asian ingredients in a way that really works. I was so full by the end of the meal I barely had room for dessert but knew they had something great up their sleeves so I gave in and tried their cardamom ice cream. It honestly could give my favorite Indian ice cream brand Malai a run for their money. To top it off they gave us a huge dining table on the 2nd floor, away from the crowds and right next to their windows, which streamed in so much natural light our food photos came out so brilliantly. It took me years to finally have a full meal here, and I'm kicking myself for waiting this long. I've been to many new Indian restaurants from celebrated chefs since visiting GupShup and I'd say my meal here is still the most memorable. read more

Pretty good food, solid menu selection, large plates are ~1.5-2x servings, creative South Asian cocktails, mediocre service. GupShup offers a modern ambiance with a creatively South Asian cocktail menu featuring cocktails that go down easy. The paneer cheese rolls were SO GOOD, 3 to 4 stars. Overpriced if you don't account for the large plates being ~1.5-2x servings. The naan was good: fresh, crisp, and fluffy. We ordered more than the suggested 1/person and found it slightly excessive, but those with bigger appetites may appreciate the extra. The onion cheese kulcha made for a great late-night snack. Curt service. For party of 2: sharing one large plate + an appetizer (overpriced) is probably best. For larger parties, still get small number of large plates. Order: (for 4: loooots of leftovers - Paneer cheese rolls (DELICIOUS) - tandoori gobi (eh, difficult but they did ok) - dhaal makhani (solid) - achari chicken (decent) - rice - falooda ice cream (pretty good, crazy combination of flavors) read more

My sisters and I took a trip to NY and made reservations here, this place is a must visit when you are there! I went in with an open mind and no expectations as I am Indian and always skeptical about Indian food at restaurants! LOL However, the food here was DELICIOUS!!! Every plate that we ordered we loved! The Old Delhi Butter Chicken and the Goat Dum Biryani were the highlights! The butter chicken had the perfect spice and I was truly impressed. As for Goat, I am ALWAYS hesitant to order Goat or lamb at restaurants because I hate when it isn't cooked right and tastes Gamey (My mom also makes the best Goat, so my taste buds have been spoiled) BUT oh my goodness I am so glad we took a chance and ordered it because it's one of the best Goat Biryani's I've had at a restaurant, you have to order this!! read more

The food and the atmosphere here is superb! We started with the Crispy Okra and Guacamole. Who knew that those two would make the perfect pair? This starter was delicious and I had a hard time sharing it. For entree, I ordered the Old Delhi Butter Chicken. It was so delicious! Lots of flavor and we also ordered the Laccha Paratha, which combined perfectly with the Butter Chicken. Unfortunately, we didn't order dessert because we had to call it an early night, but this is the type of restaurant that I'd love to return and try other items, so I will totally order dessert next time. read more

After so much anticipation and hope for a good, upscale Indian fine dining experience, GupShup left something to be desired. Don't get me wrong - the ambience is wonderful - the intimate lighting/ seating, clean interior, Indian touches to the decor and music were great! The server was also really nice and welcoming. But it fell from grace from there. The food was really subpar. We got the lamb chops, the malai chicken tikka, the cheese kulcha, and the butter chicken. While the meat was fairly tender in all of the dishes, it was all leaning very creamy and heavy. It could have benefitted from some acid or something to cut through the richness. While there was a green chutney served with many of them, it didn't do enough to balance out the food. It was also really boring that all the meat dishes just came with the same chutney. The butter chicken was also on the sweet side. There's also very few salad-type or veggie forward dishes on the menu. I would have loved something a little different. It seems overall, the restaurant isn't catered to Desi taste buds. Such a disappointment given how many amazing things I've heard about Chef Khanna. read more

This was the best meal I had in New York! I ordered the butter chicken and the Achari chicken and both were flavorful and delicious. We ordered two garlic naans and the mint chutney as well.

I want to give a honest 2.5 . I went here 2 times . First time experience was good and tasty in 2025. Next experience in 2026 was outright bad I ordered the same dishes both times. 2 appetizers and butter chicken My experience from April 2025 was opposite where butter chicken was actually tasty and my subsequent experience of butter chicken was just water + chicken . How bad can a 100$ per person restaurant be? The kind of butter chicken that I was served was the watery version , something which I can get at any place in ny/nj for 10$ . That kind of butter chicken just makes your stomach full . You eat it because at that point after you have ordered and waited you kind of have no option and are hungry enough to just get done with that meal . You know going into it after the first bite that you are only eating it as now damage is done , money is paid and you know that there is a slight possibility that your stomach can go bad as this dish doesn't have any taste ( water +chicken) ? I mean really? I can make something better if I put onion tomato paste with oil and chicken . But you just want to get done with the meal of the day at this point . And if you are like me you end up writing a review of one of the worst experiences you have had Now at this point you have lost yet another good place which had good food . You are left confused as to what happened . Did the chef change ? Left ? Or just had a bad day But you are left with no option but to never go there again . I really don't know if this place has just gone bad or that day was bad for chef to serve me such a disgusting appetizer. Sadly or for the better this is the end of gupshup for me Only way I can imagine eating that butter chicken again is if I was starving in a desert for two days and even then someone gave me that dish forcefully in disguise saying it's not water chicken read more

When I come back here, I'm only ordering garlic naan and the butter chicken because it was so good that I want the whole thing to myself! I went here with some friends and tried a bunch of dishes: - Paneer rolls: sweet, savory, and spicy - so delicious, I wanted more! But at $18, I think it was a little pricey for what it's worth. - Keema Pav: pretty good, but not a stand out to me - Lamb Chops Pulao: this dish was lamb chops in a curry with rice. The meat was so tender and paired well with the curry. Overall very solid. - Butter Chicken: this was the star of the show!! So good - the chicken was so delicious and the flavors were very rich and layered. The ambiance and service were fine and it appeared to be a good spot for large or small groups.

So we stopped by GupShup and honestly it turned out way better than expected, especially considering we started off with a minor hiccup. When I booked the reservation, I somehow didn't realize I had selected a High Top table. Totally my fault. We showed up and were like... oh no. But the staff handled it so well. Even though the place was packed, they were super nice about it and moved us to the Dining Room without making us feel like we were being difficult. Really appreciated that. Okay so the food, we ordered the Dahi Ke Kabab, Amritsari Chole Tikki, Garlic Naan, and the Achari Chicken. Everything was really good and honestly what surprised me most was how light everything felt. Like we had a full meal but didn't walk out of there feeling stuffed and heavy which is usually my problem with Indian food lol. But if I had to pick one dish that really stood out? The Achari Chicken. Hands down. That tangy pickle-y flavor with perfectly cooked chicken We'll definitely be coming back. read more

As much people are raving about this place, this place is not worth. We went there after making a reservation and we were told that the kitchen is closing in a few minutes so we have to order right away we seated and the server to cover order everything together and guess what he brought everything within five minutes the food was cold and we told him that OK. We need items coming slowly first appetizers and then the main course but he just brought everything in once because they wanted to close the kitchen, so they brought everything together that is not something I was concerned about. It was the cold food. They were not even heating it properly. I know they were not cooking it fresh at that point they were just heating it apparently they were not heating it properly. I even had to tell the server that please get hot food. This is all like lukewarm. Anyways, this is about the cold food, but the food was not that great either the only thing that was good, which I didn't eat my friend ate was some lamb dish. This place doesn't even know how to make a Dal Makhani. Not to say much bad about this place I just would recommend not going to this place unless you invest your money. read more

We got tandoori cauliflower, crispy okra and guacamole, mirchi wala chicken, saag paneer, butter chicken and naan.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at GupShup with some friends and my Aunt. hey were kind enough to accomodate our walk in despite being super busy on a Saturday night. I was super impressed by the quality of the food (as someone notoriously picky about Indian food). The aesthetic of the restaurant is really funky and moody with beautiful decor and a lively ambiance. The menu is modest, but offers a diverse variety of authentic Indian dishes. We ordered family style and got the paneer and pineapple tikka, curried chickpeas, amritsari chole tikka, goat dum biryani, and a hefty side of the garlic naan. While everything was super yummy my absolute FAVORITE was the amritsari chole tikka. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a taste of authentic Indian cuisine in NYC. I am looking forward to going back! I will definitely plan on a reservation next time. read more

GupShup - Indian Near Me - New York, New York

Really solid Indian spot in Gramercy with a fun unpretentious vibe. Not new but going strong after 6 years. We arrived early to grab a cocktail at the bar. The bartender was awesome crafting really wonderful drinks. I had a tequila based cocktail and hubby had this turmeric cocktail that really stole the show. We shared nearly all the dishes. The prawn appetizer was super tasty. The pineapple and paneer special was also nice thought the grilled pieces of cheese were quite large and the ratio of cheese to pineapple and peppers seemed a bit off. The lamb chops were simply amazing. Even my husband who doesn't eat meat indulged and thought they were a real highlight. We had the mushroom dish which was heavy but really yummy. I had some rice which was basic but I avoid gluten and that is easily done at this Indian place. Of course that means no Naan for me but hubby thought the garlic naan was wonderful. Knowing I am gluten free, they sent over the carrot halwa ice cream and this was really special. I love frozen desserts and the flavors in this ice cream were really special. Would definitely recommend and can't wait to come back. read more

As someone who's no stranger to Indian food but rarely ventures into the more upscale side of it, GupShup was a welcome shift from the usual. When my friend suggested it, I didn't hesitate -- and I'm glad I didn't. We arrived around 7:30 PM on a lively evening and were told it'd be about an hour wait for indoor seating unless we wanted to sit outside. We opted for the outdoor setup, which actually ended up being a pleasant vibe -- bustling but comfortable. For food, we shared the Paneer Cheese Roll, Lucknowi Chicken Biryani, and of course, the Old Delhi-style Butter Chicken (with garlic naan on the side -- a must). Each dish brought its own rich, flavorful profile, and despite what looked like moderate portions, we were more than full by the end. Pro tip: don't underestimate the richness of that butter chicken! Cocktail-wise, I went with the Hot like Kohli (because who can resist that name?) while my friend had the Saffron Sunset. While beautifully presented and colorful, they didn't leave as strong of an impression as the food -- more eye candy than palate fireworks. Pricing leans upscale but isn't outrageous, especially considering the setting, service, and presentation. If you're in the mood for modern Indian with flair and flavor, GupShup holds its own. Would I come back? For sure -- but I'm calling ahead next time for that indoor table. read more

This is absolutely our favorite Indian restaurant in New York! It is so creative and fantastic. We started with the roasted cauliflower which came with a honey sauce and was spicy and cooked.

Stopped by GupShup for lunch after my Indian co-worker had recommended it! We started off with the jackfruit tacos, which turned out to be my favorite dish this meal! I've never had cooked jackfruit so I was surprised at how tasty it was with its curry sauce and subsequently sweet-savory favor profile. Sauce was well seasoned, onion-forward, and also balanced by salted/pickled onions. Instead of a tortilla, they use a crispy snd chewy roti as the base which was successful in securing all the sauce. The mutton kabab was packed with spices and goat meat, but I found it to be a little bit too salty. Appreciated the fusion/brunch type options but still went for the classic dishes. The saag paneer featured solid paneer pieces and was overall well-seasoned. The saag was on the creamier side but didn't feel extra heavy. The butter paneer masala was solid, although on the sweeter side for me. The garlic naan was packed with a strong garlic aroma but its more crispy than the chewy types I prefer. Loved the vintage decoration and staff were attentive. Note that if you want to choose the weekend brunch option, everyone at the table needs to pick from the brunch menu (thus we ended up ordering al la carte). read more

The restaurant looks great, and I was pleasantly surprised to find roadside parking easily available nearby -- a big plus in NYC. It's also kids-friendly, and I was able to get a reservation on the same day (Sunday evening), which was convenient. They have an impressive cocktail menu. My own drink wasn't to my taste, but my friends and family really enjoyed theirs. The mango lassi, served in a beautiful copper cup, was a highlight. The menu itself isn't huge, but it offers a good variety. For appetizers, we tried the sizzler and butter chicken wings -- both were enjoyable. Unfortunately, all the biryanis were sold out, so we ordered Rajasthani Khadi, Achari Chicken, and Nizaam's Haleem instead. The platter was underwhelming, so I'd recommend skipping that. The standout dishes were definitely the Achari Chicken and the Rajasthani Khadi -- it was my first time having okra in khadi, and not only was the taste excellent, but the presentation was great too. The chef also surprised us with complimentary daal, which was a nice touch. Portion sizes were generous and enough for four adults and three kids. Overall, the preparation was good, though I'm not sure the price fully matches the taste considering the many dining options NYC has to offer. One suggestion: the restaurant should serve larger plates for the main course instead of the small appetizer plates they provided. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating, plus a second-floor area. It's both kids-friendly and wheelchair accessible. Overall: A stylish spot with great cocktails and a few standout dishes. Worth a try, especially if you're looking for something different, but go in with the expectation that value for money might vary depending on what you order. read more
