    Vegetable Samosa
    Ashley J.

    Ordered this on Uber Eats - it was packaged well and also traveled well. Loved the Garlic naan. The chutneys with the vegetable samosas were a bit liquid for my liking and the chicken tikka massala had a very heavy tomato flavor. Not my favorite but also an affordable and convenient option for delivery.

    I came here with a group of friends. It was a completely different experience from my last visit. Great service! Our waiter was very nice. The food tasted good and was affordable.

    Yummy!! I was craving lamb chops and this place had great reviews so i decided to try it. We started off with a complimentary basket of papad which was tasty and properly cooked. Sometimes i've gotten them either stale or undercooked at places. Then we ordered the green salad. The salad was pretty large and had lettuce, tomatoes and tons of carrots. It was fresh though i want not crazy about the dressing. It tasted like kraft italian. I asked for some chat masala and then helped the tasted a good bit. For the main course we ordered two of the lamb chop dinner. It came with rice and we ordered bread as well. We could easily have shared just one order. There was plenty of food. The lamb came with some yummy onions and peppers. I ordered mine spicy and it was so delicious!!! Service here is extremely attentive and so friendly. The best part is that the pricing is very reasonable. i'll definitely be back!!

    Absolutely delicious place with very kind, accommodating service! We had a great time. My new favorite. We had garlic naan, Rajasthani Hara Maas, Chicken Xacuti, and a mango lassi. Everything we had here was delicious; I'm dying to try the rest of his suggestions!

    Chicken tandoori: AMAZING.

    How do they fit so much flavor in a such a small establishment?!! We came in from out of town and were looking for top notch Indian food. This place was awesome ! My partner is from Punjab and agreed that the flavors were very good. The level of spicyness was adapted for me as I'm sensitive to super spicy food, and I was grateful. Also, portions were very generous. We were just 2 people but could have easily shared with another person. Chicken tandoori: was the best I've ever had. It was just enough for 2 people. Biryani: very flavorful, not too spicy. Palak paneer (spinach & cheese): soooo good & not spicy. Baingan bharta (eggplant): fantastic flavor with a spicy kick. Naan: fresh and soft. Must have! If you're around the area, give this place a try. It lives up to the Yelp reviews.

Definitely a bit on the spicier side but incredible flavor, beef all cooked well, great presentation on the skillet, so worth it. - Makai Lamb - the lamb itself was incredible; imagine a giant lamb bone with meat falling off into a thin soup-like sauce. The sauce was delicate in flavor, allowing the lamb to really shine and it was delicious. So filling too, a ton of food. Only weird thing, the two chunks of corn cobs felt out of place. Will definitely return, delicious and best done with more people to try more dishes.

And the ambiance is at the corner area of Essex Street Market tucked away with its own convenient toilet. The crab with garlic was served with Indian rice. The Tika was perfectly done and their Indian bread which very thin went with it and the eggplant dishes that they cooked Jndian style - must also order. We had the goat dish which was also delicious. They gave us green chutney and fresh sliced red onion as well So overall it was a positive experience.

Rich, creamy, perfectly balanced, and easily the best dish of the night. We also tried the chicken vindaloo, which was delicious but definitely really spicy--great if you love heat. The chicken xacuti was also excellent, full of flavor and depth. The bread and rice deserve their own shoutout: fresh, comforting, and the perfect match for every dish. On top of the food, the service was outstanding. Anthony took incredible care of us--super attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. He helped us choose the dishes, guided us through the menu, checked in to make sure we were enjoying everything, and genuinely made the experience better.

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. We ask about this twice, and each time the owner says all three tables "pre-ordered" their food. I was confused and asked every table if this was true and obviously it was not. 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.
