Sometimes you just need good, home-style food and that's what brought us to Sunrise Karahi after a…read morefriend's recommendation. We went as a walk-in on a Friday night and got seated immediately, which honestly surprised me. They have plenty of seating and I loved the decor. It's very cultural and added to the whole experience. Service was a bit slow, but it seemed like there was only one girl handling everything, so I get it. We started with pani puri and wow. It's a classic but the flavor here was next level. Easily one of the best I've had and definitely a top spot for me. For mains, we got the malai boti grill and chicken karahi. My husband would rate both a solid 9.5/10. I'm a Houstonian though, so my bar for grilled meat is pretty high and I'd say more like 8.5/10. Still really good overall. Definitely a solid go-to when you're craving authentic Pakistani food but I'm in Queens so I have so many more to try!

In a neighborhood of ever changing restaurants, Delhi Heights has remained in Little India for 17…read moreyears! We used to go to Delhi Heights regularly Pre-Covid, but hadn't been back until now! What have we been missing?!?! Buffets are back!!...Along with an a la carte menu of Indian and Nepalese food. Indian Buffets have mostly disappeared, so we were thrilled to hear Delhi Heights offers both lunch & dinner buffets, 6 days a week: Fri-Wed; (they're closed on Thursdays)! Lunch Buffet ($14.99) 12-4pm Dinner Buffet ($19.99) 6-9pm ** Note that the Lunch Buffet isn't ready until around 12:30, even though doors open at Noon. See my photos for a list of items in their lunch and dinner buffets. We went on a Sunday but not everything on the list was available. But still, there was plenty of food. It would have been nice to try the two missing dishes (soup and Palak Paneer) but there was more than enough food offered. Every item in the buffet was fantastic. The surprisingly delicious dish was the Daal! Such a simple dish but very flavorful; especially over white rice. They make the Butter Naan fresh and will bring it to your table (not at the buffet table). I've never had their Nepalese food and only have had their Indian food, so can't speak about the Nepalese food. ***In celebration of their 17th Anniversary, they are now offering a 15% discount for Dine-in and Takeout orders from their regular menu (but not valid for the buffets). Looking forward to going back for their dinner buffet!

I didn't expect a wide selection of choices considering lunch is $15.99 per person but the selection they offered was so pleasantly delicious that it hit the spot. I especially enjoyed their butter chicken. The sauce was creamy so it coded the rice nicely. As for their butter chicken, it was so tender and moist and flavored perfectly. I also enjoy their dal. Their dal was not runny and it had a nice hint of spice which also paired well with the rice and roti. As for their rice pudding, it was refreshing. I would prefer if the rice was softer but I guess that's a matter of preference but the rose water and sweetness was perfect. It wasn't too sweet or overpowering with fragrants. Overall, I was very satisfied with my experience and I'm already looking forward to going back here again in the near future.

The place has undergone quite a few changes, as well as physically moving, over the past three decades. It now sits in a more modern, smaller space. We met friends there for dinner. We started with the samosas, which were thick and filled with potatoes and peas and so satisfying, especially with a dabble of tamarind sauce. For our main meal we had the Goad Kadai, which was excellent, along with the Chicken Lajawab, the Chicken Korma, the Chicken Biryani, and the Paneer Kadai, all of which were proclaimed "very good." Service here is always excellent. From the minute you sit down, when we were given Indian crackers and dips, throughout the meal. You don't even have to ask for containers for the leftovers. They are brought to you as soon as the servers notice you are done eating and there is food leftover. Dinner for four with five entrees, a beer, an appetizer, tax, and tip was around $152.

The food types are similar but offer different spice/flavor profiles. They have a large section of noodles, soup, and rice. A veggie section with various combos of cauliflower, potatoes, onion, bamboo, blackened peas, mustard greens, and spices. Some of the Indian dishes: paneer butter masala, palak paneer, chicken tikka masala. Some of the appetizers include crispy tofu, fried soybeans, a Nepali snack platter with marinated meat, goat, beef tripe, sliced beef tongue, fried jerky, duck. They also have a momo section. We had their famous chicken lollipops (essentially fried chicken) and it was crispy and spicy (in a good way). We also had sadeko (marinated or tossed) bacon, which was rich and tender. I had one of their Nepali cocktails, which was pleasantly spicy (the chatpata aam, made with tequila, spicy chatpatey syrup, and mango puree). Service was attentive. Inside is cozy, lots of dark wood and colorful flags. They also often have entertainment in the evening, so I would love to return to hear some live music while trying more Nepali cuisine.

A bit overrated and overshadowed by the nice ambiance…read more I may be biased since I've been to Nepal twice and my palate consisted of dal bhat every single day I was there (momos were a luxury on the trek)--which in no way makes me an expert, but the taste and portions were pretty consistently similar among most places. The first time that I came here was about 3 years ago with a few friends and we liked the food - the beef tongue was different and super memorable and the jhol momos were just swimming in flavorful curry. Made me want to come back again. Fast-forward three years later, I feel like things have changed significantly. Or maybe I didn't catch them at their best, but I came with another group of friends and I just felt overall disappointed with the food, as did my friends who were excited to try Himalayan food for the first time. I had the goat dhat bhat and the small amount of meat served in aesthetically pleasing bowls to mask the portion was disappointing--and this was not a lunch special or anything. I mainly got a big bone and realistically got about 2-3 small bites of actual meat, while there was an overwhelming amount of rice and veggies. The momos also tasted like they were pre-made and heated or steamed up again because the dough was definitely a little rough. Overall, this experience was a meh for me. I think it is a social staple for many Nepalese and Tibetans in the area, and just for that.

I'm from Silicon Valley and we're swimming in Indian restaurants from every region. We initially came in for a quick bite before dinner plans in the area. I got a chicken lollipop and samosa and was surprised by how much flavor it had. My expectations were low since they said they didn't have any chutney to come with the samosa and offered ketchup instead. However it definitely didn't need it and had so much flavor and moisture on its own. As we were munching on our two small items, we were consumed by the smell of the other dishes they had. We left to dinner at the other restaurant and were completely stuffed, but I HAD to swing back to this restaurant to get some of their curries togo. I got one of the fish curries which had some pickled vegetables and one of the goat curries. I've never had this much depth in a fish or goat curry before and it beat out any I've had before. I was literally sucking as much of the gravy as I could from the bones when I got back because I knew I wouldn't be able to have this level of depth and flavor in a curry when I get back to California. The service was so friendly. They were smiling and chatting with us while we ordered and were attentive in the beginning even though we got two small items for like 5 bucks. I'm definitely making my way back to Astoria to have this again.
