Met a friend at this lovely, cozy restaurant for their Indian lunch buffet, which was only around $20. The place was spacious, full of artwork, along with a very peaceful ambiance. For my drink, I inquired if they have Rose Lassi, and they made it for me. It was too much artificial rose flavor. I should have stuck with Mango Lassi. The buffet had a little bit of everything: Crispy fish, lamb, chicken, goat, mixed vegetables, lentils, curry potatoes, spinach with paneer cheese, samosas, naan bread, chickpeas with poori (puffy), biryani rice, as well as 3 desserts, including Indian Vermicelli (thin, sweet noodles in a creamy, milky, syrupy soup), Gulab jamun, and rice pudding. I really enjoyed the taste of each dish, especially the lightly breaded and perfectly crunchy fish, the tender and well seasoned lamb, fresh veggies, and the soft, fluffy, still warm poori. Out of the dessert, I liked the vermicelli best. I found the Gulab Jamun to be overly sweet, though the balls were well made and just the right consistency. Service was good. Our waiter was welcoming and on top of it, making sure we were well taken care of during our time here.

Seafood Lunch Special

The food was delicious and it was a good amount for lunch. The service was great, the hostess was the main person that we saw and she was super nice especially since we were with a baby. The ambiance was better inside, the tables were really nice but the tables were a little cramped. We had to move the table a little to be able to sit properly.

I just ordered from this place for cater. The food was so tasty. They are fresh. The catering guy who came to deliver the food was so friendly. He provides a great service. I will definitely order from here again.

The ambiance was great. They had warm lights, flowers, and cute paintings. The service was also pretty great, I went alone and the server kept coming to ask how the food was which I appreciated. The food itself was pretty good. I am used to authentic food so it wasn't perfect. If I could change something, it would be the Chicken Tikka being cut into smaller pieces and less sweetness in the curry.

Lamb Chops ($22.95+)

Manhattan Valley is a great Indian restaurant on the corner of 100th St and Broadway. The ambiance was wonderful, with upscale decor and large tables with white table cloths. It's the perfect spot for a date night or a nice family dinner. We ordered: - Lamb Chops ($22.95+) - Chicken Tikka Masala ($16.95+) - Naan Bread ($3+) The food was well-presented, tasty and reasonably priced. I loved the naan, but the rice that came with the Chicken Tikka Masala was nice, too. If you're looking for a solid Indian place in the neighborhood, I would highly recommend it.

All the sauces.....

I came here at the suggestion of an associate who said the food was very much worthwhile. I was hesitant at first, considering the number of disappointing Indian food options in the neighborhood, but decided to risk it. The day before a major event, I ordered a lunch special with a friend. I knew that I wanted to try their lamb and garlic naan. For lunch, there is an assortment of options from a buffet although you can also order a la carte items well. I went with the lamb kali mirch lunch special which included rice, side vegetable, dal, chutney and naan. There is an additional fee if you prefer the garlic naan over plain. My lunch buddy opted for the lamb curry. Both dishes were delicious, filling, and had a decent--but tolerable-- spice level. They also offer vegetarian dishes. The flavor of the food is delicious and authentic as far as that the vegetables were clearly fresh and thoughtfully prepared. Their takeout packaging is reusable and more than appropriate. Best of all portions are generous, and the price point for the quality is adequate. I'm so glad that I got over my initial hesitation!! This place is legitimately good.

First time here & I loved this place for many reasons. We got carry out last night & they packaged everything so perfect, they gave us plenty of sauces & we're very generous on the portions. The food was phenomenal. They have a takeout deal which is at a fantastic price for what you get. Staff was friendly & although we did takeout the inside the restaurant was beautiful. I loved everything about this place.

Food is subpar, mains are sweet and the fish curry was foul, bad smelling. There was no manager available for any feedback.

We had made a reservation for dinner on a random weeknight. We showed up, but the place was closed…read moreand there was no notice or any update on their website so it was weird. But we decided to try again ... and came back a couple weeks after. Glad we did because the interior is so pretty and the food is absolutely delicious. Service was attentive, so no complaints there.

I don't think they were expecting all the traffic that evening, but I'm sure every diner left satisfied that night. To start, we ordered king kachori and amritsari fish. Both were so delicious! The fish stood out to me because it was perfectly battered and fried. I loved the masala taste. For our mains, we shared a 2 day dal makhani, garlic naan, and paneer sirka pyaaz. The dal blew my mind away. I love spicy foods, but this was both umami and fire spicy. I was so grateful that we ordered a sweeter paneer dish to offset the heat. It was addictively good. A bit about the restaurant: The restaurant is very colorful and there's an upstairs seating area. I did feel bad during our meal because our waiter was running up and down to get everyone what they needed. It seems that everything is downstairs. They also ran out of a few menu items, like the mango lassi and masala chai, which made me a tinge disappointed. But otherwise, I'm already looking forward to going back!

Doaba checks off those boxes spectacularly well. The parathas and dal are freshly made. The chai is piping hot. All their food is vegetarian. And the ambience is the New York version of a hole-in-the-wall Punjabi restaurant in Delhi. While farther away for me relative to Punjabi Deli downtown, Doaba has more seating and is fairly easy to access with public transportation. It is a convenient stop for cab drivers looking for a quick bite or cup of coffee. I wish their restrooms were limited to use by paying customers, but the friendly disposition of the owners might come in the way of enforcement. Hard to believe I only tried them recently although they have been around for 15 years. I look forward to returning to Doaba when I am in the neighborhood again.

When you enter, you'll find yourself in to a tiny, narrow room with three sticky tables for eating in. Through a doorway to the right, you'll see a steam table with several options on offer and the small, connected kitchen in the back. On my visit, options on offer included aloo baingan, channa dal and matar paneer. To be completely truthful, I did not love the preparations I tried. The aloo baingan was overly soupy, with eggplants and potatoes cut into huge, unwieldy pieces. Channa dal had been soaked from dried (good!) and boiled with some salt, but had not been noticeably seasoned in any other way. (I have to wonder if the very sweet young man working the counter perhaps misunderstood its readiness level and served the channa dal before it'd been incorporated into a dish! It was from the back of the kitchen, not in the steam table.) The matar paneer was the best of the bunch -- a little too liquidy, but the paneer and peas were in good balance, the dish flavorful. (Unfortunately, in my mind, I can hear my Pardner's 80-year-old Indian aunt complaining about the food tasting like it was made by a man... and it was. ;) I did quite enjoy the samosas filled with potatoes and peas, which were somehow held warm, but not dried out and stale. And I'm a total sucker for chaats, so will likely return to sample that section of the menu -- as well as the aloo kulcha, which Alan S., one of my favorite Yelpers whose tastebuds I trust 300%, has praised. (Presumably the tandoor has been fixed since 2018?!) I also loved the mixture of patrons on my visit: polite, young, Desi college students; grizzled white hippies; Nepalese Americans, etc... Doaba doesn't serve the best Punjabi / Pakistani / Bangladeshi food to be had in NYC to be certain -- but the friendly, warm, welcoming feel of the place, the low-brow, sticky charm... and maybe the memories it evokes for me of friends, travel, street food... it all twangs my heartstrings.
