Bhindi Masala extremely salty

Gotta update my previous review. Shockingly oily butter chicken and bhindi masala was overwhelmingly salty. And the restaurant's unwilling to provide a refund or send a new order. Completely inedible. How could they send this out?

two bowls of food and a carton of milk

Do not Waist your hard money in this Restaurant All those 5star reviews are fake and giving them by their own friends and family They do not have customer service manners instead when you tell them their food is spicy they start arguing I did not not ask for refund simply apology and solution but they disappointed me. My recommendation do not waist your money here there might be different restaurants near this market try them.

I really haven't felt this conflicted giving any establishment such a number of stars. I have been to India Cafe on 2 occasions and both the times I felt I had mixed feelings. Let me start by ambiance - definitely not date material. It looks drab from the outside and I really was hesitant the first time I saw the place but I went for it against my instincts. It got worse on the inside with dark colors and almost half the lights off at 1:30 on a Saturday afternoon (I guess they were trying to save energy, idk). The menus on the table were dirty and greasy and so were the glasses. Same experience both the times - minus the light part. The service is pretty decent. Servers are cordial but you do need to keep grabbing their attention without them making an effort to try and know what is needed by you. Speaking of food Pros - I tried the fish tikka and the tandoori catfish and both were phenomenal especially if accompanied with their green chutney. Most of their vegetarian dishes are pretty authentic - can't tell you anything about non-veg curries cause I haven't tried them yet. Dal Makhani is one of the must try dishes at the place. Cons - stay away from the chicken sheesh kebab, it's not one of their strong fortes especially for the price they charge. Taste of the kebab was pretty bland for something that is so simple and should be delicious. Naans are also not something that impressed me here. We had ordered onion kulcha, garlic naan, laccha paratha and regular naan but non of them lived up to the expectation. Even after requesting to make the food very spicy (we are Indians after all) the food still was not as spicy as should have been. Needless to say I will still go back to this place for their food cause I know they can do better and are better than most places when we speak of certain curries. "All here is my opinion guys - yours could be different." Enjoy :)

Tandoori Catfish

We ordered goat vindaloo and tandori catfish. Absolutely disappointed, the vindaloo was beyond oily, and only 4 pieces of goat and the rest, was meat. We requested that the catfish to not be fried--the person on the phone said it won't be--spoiler alert, it was. I can't believe they serve people this.

Best Punjabi Thali in town!!!

This review is ONLY about the food and my experience eating here. I stumbled across this spot and stopped in because I was curious about the food since it was vegeterian and I was on a no-meat cleanse. It's a bit inconspicuous so you may not even realize it's a restaurant from the outside. That being said, it seems to be a very popular vegetarian spot in the area and has a good variety of vegetarian Indian dishes as well as Western vegetarian dishes. The spot is midsized, with a good amount of seating. The staff were very friendly and helpful with questions about the dishes. I ordered a few items - vegetables pakora, bhajia, and the Annam Brahma dinner. I also tried their chai. Overall, the food wasn't too bad and was a good portion for the price. I loved the chai and also ordered a mango lassi, which was also very tasty. The pakora and bhajia were delicious and paired well with the sauce. The Annam Brahma dinner was filling although I wish it has a bit more seasoning. Overall, this is a good spot for vegetarian food if you're in the neighborhood and looking for a good vegetarian spot.

They're charging full price for meat biryani and giving customers scraps. Completely dishonest business practice. I couldn't go all the way back, so I lost my money and my lunch. If you value your money and your time, avoid this place, they clearly don't respect their customers. Not to mention the cashier was chaotic and rude for no reason. Not a good environment, poor service, diabolical food, major SCAM ALERT!

Started with the meat samosa. This is probably 1/3 of the size featured on the Doordash picture. While it's cheap, it wasn't worth. Two mains: chicken keema and curry beef. The former was a dish I hadn't had before and was pretty spicy in a way I wasn't expecting. This hit the mark. The latter, the curry beef, I got because it's apparently very recommended. Super dry and not terribly flavorful. I ordered Pulao rice but they were out so it was downgraded to white rice, which is fine. What is not fine is that it seems unconscionable for a restaurant of this cuisine to require you to order rice as a side dish. Neither of these dishes should be eaten without rice and to have to pay extra for it ($4 for the Pulao?!) is a disservice to the cuisine. We also grabbed some naan, which was the the most white bread version of naan I've ever had. Fluffy and light but entirely flavorless. The menu is strangely limited and there's truly no reason for me to explore anything else on it given this experience.

The worst was the drink. I paid EXTRA for strawberry lemonade. Not only was there no strawberry, it wasn't even lemonade. It dusty colored cold water that tasted like someone added a teaspoon of lemon concentrate. No sweetness, barely any flavor at all. Just a weak hint of fake lemon. Definitely no strawberries. The food itself was not great. Just meh. The lamb vindaloo was the only thing with any character. I think there were 4 small cubes of lamb and 3 small potato cubes. I know it's a lunch portion, but dang. They didn't skimp on the sauce though. Everything was drowning in sauce. I've never had thin tomato soup before, but the flavor was OK. I might try those ingredients myself at home with some Campbell's - and a heavier hand. At least it was piping hot. The one thing I really liked was the naan! It was soft and warm and tasted like it had just been made. This was a $20 order, I expected a lot better. I didn't think the bread would be the star of this show.

Nanking - A Perfect Spot for Layovers (or Locals)!…read more When my in-laws had a long layover at JFK, we decided to meet them for dinner, and Nanking turned out to be a fantastic choice. As a Brooklyn local, I hadn't explored many restaurants near JFK, and found slim pickings for Chinese or Thai food by the airport. First off, the ambiance is good--booth seating along the walls and a welcoming, authentic vibe. I was a bit skeptical at first about the large menu (Indian, Thai, and Chinese?!) because that's often a red flag. But, spoiler alert: Nanking proved me wrong! What we ordered: * Navaratan Korma: Super fresh veggies, rich and flavorful. As someone who makes this at home, I was impressed! * Lamb Korma: Delicious, tender, and full of depth. * Naan: A little thinner than usual but still tasty, especially paired with the curries. * Hot and Sour Soup: the in-laws finished their bowl. * Fish Curry: when my FIL ordered this we had a mini-panic that it wouldn't be fresh given the large menu and not apparent seafood focus -- bad fish ahead of a international flight seems worth avoiding at all costs -- but our server was quick and confident with her assertion the fish was fresh and I stood corrected! FIL reported back that it was flavorful, fresh and not overly creamy. * Butter Chicken: A weekly favorite of a diner sitting near us who gave it high praise, and the MIL reported she was right. (Her tip: Pair it with garlic naan--A+ advice!) The drink deals were great, and the prices overall were super reasonable. The only downside was the timing--our food took about 30 minutes, and the drinks were slow too. But with a party of 20 arriving at the same time as us, it's understandable. (And kudos to the menu for being upfront: "Let us know if you're in a hurry.") In short, Nanking is a gem for anyone looking for authentic flavors near JFK. My in-laws left happy, and if the situation presents itself again well definitely be back.

At week's end for a very weary Saturday, I could not move my body to get out to attain brunch but decided to give delivery the o' college try. Food does not contain any substance. Subsequently, I inadvertently placed a second separate order of chicken Manchurian and had a hard time cancelling. Nanking had the audacity to inquire why I want to cancel my second separate delivery order. It was created in error! Grubhub automatically include: tax, tip, delivery fee, and service fee. I called Nanking to cancel this chicken Manchurian order who instructed me to directly contact Grubhub for cancelling because Nanking has no ability to cancel as this order originated from Grubhub. Delivery was approximately 45 minutes eternal wait timeline. I have no plans for a return delivery order nor a in-person visit dining experience. Oh, hell NO!! Steamed shrimp dumplings, haa1 gaau2 蝦餃, $10.99 These dumplings were average and was accompanied with excessive high sodium content soy sauce to raise high blood pressure increasing the risk of heart disease and possibly stroke. Vegetable noodle soup $7.50 Very minimal noodles content but heavy concentration of vegetables. It was heavily swimming in clear broth. The broth was not salty. This noodle soup does not contain any substance. Bye, Felicia!
