Sometimes you have to trust the Yelp and Google reviews, and I am so glad I did for Cafe Himalaya!…read more Hot momos during the heat-wave might sound counter intuitive, but it was perfect! I was bopping around east village looking for a late lunch, and just wanted something a little spicy. I ordered a plate of the beef sha momos - steamed, and they were perfect! The spicy sauce was the perfect fresh kick to pair with the flavorful filling. Given it was a quiet afternoon, I was surprised by how long it took to get my food. But they did seem very busy in the kitchen. The space has a few tables for dining in, and a bathroom in the basement for customers. But set your expectations accordingly, it's a no-frill spot. Go for the food, not the ambiance.

There was a lot of take out and delivery orders but, that kitchen kept up with everything. Friend ordered a lime iced tea which they made and sweeten perfectly. We started with the chicken samosa and steamed lamb momos. The samosas are huge, tasty, and filled to the capacity of shell. The lamb momos were delicious alone but use the spicy dip it comes with and the dish is a flavor bomb. Entrees were Tandoori chicken which comes with a huge bowl of rice. The chicken was fine by itself but put the yogurt sauce on it and it is like a totally different dish. So tasty and delicious. Lamb biryani...Plenty of lamb throughout this dish the spices and flavors blended well and were spot on with just that hint of heat to break a sweat. Garlic Naan... when you first bite into it you get a hint of garlic then you get a nice pop of garlic. They start you with a courtesy flat thin bread with 2 dips...very nice. Staff is very friendly courteous and attentive. We never felt rushed or in the way. Very cool spot to chat chew and catch up.

Wasn't bad - wasn't the best. Safe bet. Like the Pre-fixe concept. Wife got the kabobs and those were really good, we also got chicken tikka masala, butter chicken and butter paneer. Paneer was really good Value (B+) - was around $40 a person - felt a bit pricey for Indian in NYC Service (B) - need better training - screwed up our order and then took a while to get it out. Also tried to put down dinner plates prior to taking dirty appetizer plates. Friendly and nice - just need training on obvious things Give it a try could be for you. If your live in Gramercy you might enjoy Nothing special - safe bet Indian.

Decided to test fate on a Friday night...walked in cold with no reservation. Host quoted a…read more40-minute wait at the bar and zero tables left, until he gave us the ultimate test: if we could clear out by 9:30 PM (sitting down just shy of 8:00), the table was ours. Challenge accepted. Never underestimate our ability to dine with executive efficiency. Practical intel: Friday walk-ins are possible but not guaranteed. Ask the host what's open and be ready to work with their timeline. Dinner for two with drinks ran about $180 before tip. The breakdown: - Pre-game: Sliced raw red onions with electric green mint-coriander chutney. Did we polish off every single sliver without hesitation? Absolutely, not our first rodeo with raw aromatics. - Drinks: Monsoon Wedding (Indian gin, lychee, curry leaf) was insanely good and fragrant. Followed with an Indian red wine, which was solid, though it competed a bit with the assertive spices. - Food: My partner was commander-in-chief of the ordering. The Kashmiri Gosht Chaamp (lamb chops) brought relentless, unapologetic heat, legitimately spiiicy but tender and packed with depth. The Dhaba Dal was a warm hug I didn't know I needed, swimming in sizzling tadka. Whole dried red chili in there, which I investigated personally. Earthy, savory, weirdly comforting. The Tawa Bhindi rounded things out with great crunch and tangy amchoor punch without feeling heavy. Paced the meal, savored every bite, and walked out a minute or two past 9:30. Nobody rushed us. Grateful they trusted us with the table at all. 10/10 execution, on both sides.

Upscale Indian desi eats with no-nonsense taste…read more The Kale Pakora Chaat was a great start, along with the Ajwain Prawns and classic Shami Kebabs. The Mutton Dhungar (smoked) and Chicken Hari Mirch Kurma were outstanding gravies--perfect with hot chappatis. But the piece de résistance was the Goat Neck Biryani--deeply flavorful, with meat literally falling off the bone and proper, fragrant basmati rice. Absolutely fantastic. The place is nice and lively--busy and a little tight on space, but the service is fast and friendly. Reservations are a must. An absolute must-try when visiting NYC.

This place as classy as heck. Beautiful atmosphere. Friendly wait staff who are eager to see you have a good time, and a good meal. Spices were balanced, and the ingredients were fresh and vibrant. Herbs were bright beautiful green and fragrant. Bread was chewy and soft. If you see it, try the bottle of Montepulciano. It's a hidden gem. Garnet colour with fresh fruitiness, and subtle tannins. Also. None of the dishes were greasy. If you've ever had Indian food at a bad place, there's always a pool of oil floating on top. None of that happened here. You could taste every ingredient. Your water glass is empty? No worries. One of the wait staff was right there to fill my glass when it was less than half full. Wine glass running low? No worries. One of the wait staff swing by and refill you. Need the cheque? Make eye contact with anyone, and request it. It zooms over to your table. Music is soft and lets you hear your dining companion but not the next door table. Vegan dishes are clearly marked. The only issue I have is that the entrees don't come with rice or roti. You have to buy those separately. Idk what you're meant to eat your daal with, but be prepared to spend extra on rice. Other issue is that the heat level is very low. My companion got a meat dish, and I got a vegan dish. Both were extremely mild. Also, they don't bring onion and green chili to go with the food. It was weird to order like a Punjabi chhole dish, and have it be mild and have none of the onion/green chili that you see at Punjabi restaurants. That said, would 100% come back.

This restaurant has been around for over 20 years so they must be doing something right. Service could be better. Food was good and ambiance was ok but better than most spots in Queens. Standouts were the fried okra and fried shrimp.

We also tried the butter tea, which was not what I expected either. The restaurant was pretty empty when we walked in, which probably should have been our first warning sign. The saving grace was the chicken wings, which were actually good, along with a cold Coca-Cola. Overall, it was a mixed experience. There were a couple of good things, but the food quality definitely needs improvement. 3 stars.

We decided to stick with the chicken sekuwa, the salmon curry and a side of roti. The chicken sekuwa was a great surprise, it came with like a puffed rice that was superglue to eat texturally and went great with the marinated chicken. The fries were not expected but very enjoyable as I love fries. The salmon curry was something very different so I definitely wanted to try that. The curry in itself was on the looser end, more like a soup however, the flavor was really good and the salmon was nice and tender. The roti was a lot more like a tortilla than what I was expecting but it was still enjoyable. Overall the food was definitely new to my palate and super light which I enjoyed and the service was great. The food did take a while to come out but the server did check up on us to let us know as well and helped us with getting sauces that we asked for. I can't wait to try out their momos next time I stop by!

It was a little spicy for my 10 year old, but my other daughter and I finished it with ease. Glad we tried it - food was good and service was quick.

Every dish is flavorful, every bite tasty from the raita to the baby goat, but it's not light on the wallet, and if you're looking for light on the spice, then you should go elsewhere. I really like this place. The vibes feel like the restaurant is not on the UWS, it almost feels like a spot in the village. The music and cocktails are just grand. I had my cocktail come in a teapot that was smoking, sooooo fun! Staff is great and they treat you with respect, and like they're having fun. They can explain anything on the menu in detail, which you might need if you haven't read the menu before showing up. It is not the most intuitive menu, and the portions are sized unexpectedly. The kebabs you would expect would come in 2s or 3s, but no they come as single kebabs. The pricing suggests otherwise, but it's NYC after all. The curries are also very good, but again not as big as you might be used to in Jackson Heights or New Jersey. However you're not in Jackson Heights or New Jersey. The biryani however was ENORMOUS and could feed a family of many hungry people, we couldn't finish it. We will be back.

We had a reservation, unfortunately our table wasn't ready when we arrived and had for wait in the entrance for 15 minutes. Bedsides that the service was very prompt. We tried a variety of the starters, among the meats the chicken was clearly the crowd favorite. The veggie options including the paneer and mushroom galouti were outstanding as well. Of course we couldn't leave without trying their famous dal makhani which didn't disappoint. The breads & rice too very delicious. All in all a fantastic meal that I sadly took almost no pictures of!
