Itzak H.

Amazing Indian food in the heart of manhattan. What more can you ask for? Muna is a delight for the senses. The tastes, the smells completely encapsulate you form the first step into the restaurant until your last bite. The prices are fair and the food is delicious. And the all day special is incredibly worth it. $30 for entree app and dessert is unheard of these days. If you are looking for good well priced Indian in nyc, don't look further than Muna.

Customer service was great, no complaints there. Food on the other hand was ok. It was a buffet and even though that's not my preference, it was priced perfectly during the lunch hour ($19.99) and I wanted options. There were several options and all were standard, but nothing truly overwhelming--I believe the lamb curry was the best as the chicken in the other dishes were dry white meat. The biggest thing I noticed were several people taking their used plates back to the buffet to replenish their food (yuck)! Now, I will say I didn't see anyone use the spoon from the buffet dish to touch their used plate, but still--I think there needs to be some oversight about this. Decent though and maybe I'd try something off the menu next time.

Ambiance: This restaurant was a great and convenient surprise near grand central. You feel calm entering the restaurant and are treated very well. Food: delicious from the meat and vegan options. Quality & Value: You can opt for a buffet lunch or entrees. $20 for quality food lunch with white linen.

Incredible service by the kind staff here at Muna. The food is cooked perfectly with lots of flavor. The cocktails especially were the highlight of my time; the mango lassi is to die for. Food: 5/5 Price: 4.5/5 Experience: 5/5

Craving some Indian food and a good deal? Then this is the spot for you! Muna has an all day prix-fix menu, which allows you to get an app, an entree and a side /dessert for less than $30/pp. If that's not a steal in midtown, idk what is! The portions were great and the service was wonderful! The staff were really friendly, attentive and welcoming. It's def one of my go to spots whenever I'm craving a dine in Indian food and in the area. What we ordered: Chicken Samosa Lamb Samosa Lamb Korma Chicken Tikka Masala Garlic Naan (Complimentary) Papadam

Andrew L.

Excellent choice for Indian food! We started with Lamb Samosa's which were very nicely prepared and had Lamb Tikka Masala, Chicken Tikka Masala and Butter Chicken for entrees - all excellent. The Garlic Naan for a side was also terrific. The entire staff was friendly and our server Sunita was very helpful and attentive. Highly recommend for Indian food in the Grand Central Station/Midtown East area.

Ariel Y.

Ordered from the All Day Pre-Fixe Menu - the Mango Lassi, Chicken Samosa, Chicken Tikka Masala and Garlic Naan. The Mango Lassi was creamy and delicious. The Chicken Samosa was good - a little spicy for me but the sauce complimented it well. The Chicken Tikka Masala was flavorful - the sauce was delicious and the chicken was well cooked. The Garlic Naan was just ok - wish it was a little fluffier.

This is my go-to spot for delicious, savory and reliable Indian cuisine. I order takeout from Muna at least once a week and it's equally as delicious as when you dine in. All of their curries have a wonderful umami with tender meat. I dine in or order food to-go from here confidently knowing the restaurant is super clean. The staff is so polite and kind and the if you choose to dine in, it's very peaceful with nice lighting.

All Day Special/Prix Fixe- Mango Kulfi. Tasty

Glenn C.

I went to this excellent new Indian restaurant a few days ago. They offer an "All Day Special" similar to Bengali Tiger on the west side but with a whole lot better food for $28.95 or a few bucks extra depending on your add-ons. This place has two floors with the bottom being more bar like and the top looking a bit nicer. The top area has their lunch buffet also though I presume people can sit downstairs as well. The staff was friendly. The All Day Special consists of three courses. It comes with an appetizer, a main, and either a bread or dessert. There wasn't papadum in the beginning but that was fine as we left plenty full. I'll be listing the price of the dish on the main menu (unsure if the portion is the same) but in terms of add-on, the lamb dishes cost $1.95 more, the fish/shrimp dishes cost $2.95 more, and the kulfi is also $2.95 more. My appetizer was the Lamb Samosa ($9.95) listed on the main menu as ground lamb filled in crispy pastry and fried on the main menu. This was outstanding. The lamb was well spiced and the samosa texture had some good softness and crunch. It was plated on top of two chutneys; mint and tamarind which worked well with it. I also tried the Pakora/onion fritters ($7.95) which had a nice light fry. These were also tasty and I would recommend them also even if I preferred the samosa. There was also a choice of veggie or chicken samosa as well as lentil soup. My main dish was the Chili or rather as listed on the menu "Chilli" Salmon ($25.95) listed simply as Spicy Salmon. The sauce as expected was the same as in Gobi/Cauliflower Manchurian which is a moderately spicy sauce with a smoky sweetness. I am happy that the sauce wasn't thickened too much. The salmon was very tender and of good quality. There was also some chopped green bell peppers instead as expected as well for the dish. Tasty as well overall. Another person got the shrimp version of the same dish which were bouncy. I tried the Lamb Curry ($22.95) listed as lamb with home-style masala sauce which was tasty also. The lamb was tender and the sauce was well flavored though not particularly spicy. The dishes came with rice which is a nice surprise as many spots in Midtown unfortunately charge now. They also gave us some Naan on the house which was tasty. Nice and hot and not too much ghee but still with a good texture. For dessert, I went with the Mango Kulfi ($7.95) listed as mango flavored Indian ice cream, almond, and pistachio. My preference is Carrot/Gajar ka halwa but it's not as common but this worked. This was a well flavored version with plenty of nuts mixed into it. Not the best I've had but certainly better than most other spots. I tried the Ras Malai someone ordered (I think this was a buck more also) which was a solid version. There was also a choice of Kheer/rice pudding as well as Gulab Jamun. This is an excellent new Indian spot with a reasonably priced and very well flavored prix fixe. It's not my favorite Indian food in the area but my preferred spot lacks said prix fixe so it's much more expensive (Chola) so it's nice to have a secondary option. Would go back and try more things such as the Nepalese stuff on the menu. Mid 4 for the deal/food.

My friend whose a regular here recommended this spot for a last minute dinner - we were both super hungry and had a craving for Indian/Nepali food we did the dinner special which is an app, entree, and side/dessert for $27 which is such a great deal!!! we were immediately greeted with kindness and seated which was great. the music was popin they were playin lofi indian music from one of my favorite bollywood movies! we ordered momos and pani puri to start (off the dinner menu) which was delicious - the momos tasted pretty authentic. i wish the pani puri had chutney inside but we were given side chutney which i added for the dinner special i got chicken samosa, chicken tikka masala, and kheer. the whole course came with a side of rice complimentary which was very nice. all the food was so delicious - i wish the chicken tikka masala was spicier but its a good level to cater to all. i tried some of my friends biryani and it hit all the spice levels and flavors overall very delicious and authentic - would recommend and come back!!!

Chicken Korma, Aloo Gobi Matar and plain naan

Been coming to NYC for years and stay with family, well this year our family has moved back to the UK and it's just us. So arriving in town I really wanted to get some Indian food for dinner, but try something new. Muna was a 10 minute walk from our hotel, and it being a beautiful night in March it was perfect to walk over. What a lovely find! So lovely and they are very welcoming when you walk-in. Service was excellent and they understood we couldn't have leftovers being in a hotel, and were honest if this or that was large or to be shared. I wish we could have ordered more, so many things on the menu looks worth trying... I hope to come back with more people in tow sometime soon. This is a definite must to try as the food spice level was perfect and so flavorful.

Very kind people making absolutely delicious food! We are new to the area and decided to stop in to try Muna and were very impressed! We were seated immediately, and they brought out a thin, crispy type of bread (I don't know the name of it!) and two chutneys. Both were delicious, but I especially loved the green chutney, which had a delicious herb flavor and decent amount of spice. Both were homemade. They have a prefix dinner special for $26.95 for an app, entree and side or dessert. They also have a great lunch special for $15.95. My husband ordered the lamb Samosa, chicken biryani, and naan. I ordered the chicken tikka masala entrée and garlic naan, but they also gave me a complimentary vegetable Samosa. Wow, the samosas were delish! The lamb samosa had a rich spiced flavor (not spicy), and the pastry was piping hot and crispy. I also really enjoyed the vegetable Samosa. It was so filling! The chicken tikka masala had a wonderful tomato sauce and juicy chunks of chicken. The chicken tikka masala was not spicy at all, so order a different dish if you're looking for heat. The chicken biryani was a very generous portion, perfectly seasoned, and moderately spicy. I have to say the naan was truly the best naan I have ever had! When I order garlic naan, I want lots of garlic flavor, and they delivered! I loved how thin it was with a nice amount of char - perfect compliment to the meal. We left stuffed and still had lots of leftovers Definitely check out Muna if you're looking for excellent service, a hot and well-seasoned meal, large portions, and reasonable prices. We can't wait to come back! We will be regulars. read more

What a find. Found this on a list of the hottest new restaurants and was so glad we went. The food was GREAT! The server was shy but accommodating and super nice. It's far enough away from Times Square to get away from the madding crowd but still close enough to walk if you want to go for their prefixed ALL DAY meal! The price is so reasonable that you'd be surprised how great the freshness and quality is AND the size of the portions. Their samosas were unreal and big and hearty. They had many naan choices including a wonderful spicy chili one and one I never heard of it: coconut. Since it was my first visit, I tried my safe go-to dish: Butter Chicken and it amazed me. We actually then got tons of other things and were so happy to go to a place where nice people work and the volume of the place makes it great to talk to friends! read more

what a disappointment! we decided to have dinner at muna, because they are owned by the same group as a restaurant sathi, which our friends like. we were in the area, so it was a short walk to muna. should have continued walking. their cocktails should be listed as mocktails, since they have barely any alcohol. how they get away with the most blend food is a mystery. for an indian restaurant they should be ashamed to serve the driest basmati rice imaginable. it would only make sense if this rice was sitting on a kitchen counter for days. 2 very generous stars because the service was attentive. read more

Lamb korma and lamb vindaloo had tender chunks of lamb and both sauces were delicious. Unfortunately, the Chicken tikka Marsala had super dry pieces of chicken, even the tasty sauce didn't help so the chicken was left uneaten. We were happy with the garlic naan and the plain naan.

I came here for the lunch special and ordered chicken curry and cauliflower. I was hoping the food would be good because this is a new place, but it was very bland and flavorless. It tasted like it was cooked in one of those grocery store bought curry sauce. It seemed like it's cooked for palates that have never had Indian food before. I'm not coming back to this place again because in a 10 block radius there are plently of great indian/south asian places (in fact the curry house right next to it has amazing food). For some reason, there have been 3 new indian restaurant in this specific location the past few years, and all of them had terrible food. Cmon guys! The only thing that was really nice was their staff and servers. Very welcoming and warm and good service; but if the food is bland and uninspiring, no amount of service can make up for it. The chef really needs to get their act together, if this new restaurant is to survive in New York. Maybe this would be a good place in Kansas or Ohio, but by NY standards it's really poor. read more

However, sometimes you just take a chance and pray it lives up to the hype. Having a short period of time before our show at Radio City Music Hall, two of us shared a quick bite here after a few snacks on the nearby street fair. Just one order of Chicken Tikka Marsala, Garlic Naan, and a Mango Lassi. I'm actually not a big fan of Chicken Tikka Marsala because it's often too sweet and creamy for me. Though the chicken was overcooked, I did find this version quite differernt, in a good way. It had depth, and definitely a lot of heat, even on the medium level, the spiciness was very noticeable. My dining partner would have died without that Mango Lassi, which was yummy. Lmao On the other hand, the Garlic Naan was horrible. Instead of being a pillowy soft bread with some chew, it was stiff and cardboard-ish. This is one of the worst versions I had in NYC. Not sure how this major blunder can be overlooked. Naan is such an important part of Indian food culture, I can't believe they haven't realize that they need to fix this matter. Btw, service was efficient, almost too efficient that it felt rushed. One minute after we were seated, we were asked if ready to order. Again, we were asked literally one minute later. Then, just as we were finishing our meal, and while I'm still chewing my final bite of food, the bus boy cane to take our plates away. I was technically done, but would have like to have had a minute. Finally, without asking about desserts, another server came by with our check as if to say, "Please pay and make room for the next guests." I know we wanted a quick meal, but never thought we would be in and out of a situation down restaurant in less than 30 minutes. Hahaha Anyway, I live in Queens where we have same quality Indian restaurants at a much lower price point. Portions are bigger too. For me, this is an attempt at finding a gem that everyone seems to suggest. Unfortunately, it's hard for me to return to an Indian restaurant knowing they can't properly make naan.

However because Indian food has complex flavors in general, I feel like fancy chefs tasting version was less impressive than other cuisines (bc Indian food is already sho good lol). Still this was really delicious, like legit the best Indian food I've ever had for sure for sure. Some notes on food: - pumpkin & coconut shorba SOOOOO GOOD... i've had starter broths and consummes but this was probably my favorite, it was warm and hearty and flavorful. - jackfruit: decided to give this a try and it was most definitely worth the try.... not sure how tf they cooked this but it was so good - lobster tail: cooked to perfection but more importantly the sago and the sauce were very delicious. i told sam he could have most of da lobster but i just wanted more sauce - then when I was thinking i was pretty full they gave us these 4 dishes. the naan(??) was just ok a lil too doughy but holy the dal moradabadi was so good just on its own too - makhan malai: SO FAT AND HUGE AND JIGGLY LOL. at first the saffron & cardamom flavors were a little too sudden but it grew on me almost instantly and the texture is actually godly like so airy and soft and whipped as hell. I could've had another fat bowl of it but also it was comical how much they gave lol.

The starters were the pumpkin soup and the blue cheese naan. The soup was very yummy and had a nice flavor. The blue cheese naan was very potent. For the starters we chose the tofu and the potato sphere. The tofu was crispy and had a really nice texture. Never had tofu like that before. The potato sphere was also super interesting. I wish it had a filling though. The middle dish we got was the yogurt kebab. The texture of the yogurt was very interesting. The sauce was pretty spicy but again another dish that was super interesting. For mains we got the lamb and the paneer. The paneer texture was good and the sauce was very yummy as well. The lamb was very tender and was very delicious. The roti it came with was also so soft and delicious. The green chutneys were my favorite. The chicken kulcha and black daals were also good. Personally loved the black daal and the garlic naan the most. I think these two dishes could have had more flavor. For dessert we had the black rice cake with the rice pudding. The black rice cake flavor wasn't my favorite. The rice pudding was great. They also surprised us with an extra birthday dessert which was the saffron foam dessert. I really liked this one and the flavor was super interesting. Service was great all night. The only thing throwing me off was the b health rating. If you're looking for an upscale Indian restaurant to celebrate something this one is great.

I recently visited this restaurant with high expectations, and I'm thrilled to report that they exceeded them in every way! The food was absolutely delightful, with each dish showcasing exceptional flavors and textures. The Lamb Curry was tender and rich, with a depth of flavor that left me wanting more. The Butter Paneer was a revelation - creamy, indulgent, and utterly delicious. And the Garlic Naan was perfectly cooked, with just the right amount of garlic to elevate the dish. But what truly stole the show was the Chilli Momo, which added a delightful kick to the traditional momo recipe. And the Sharabi Mango (spiked mango lassi) was a refreshing twist on a classic drink. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with a cozy atmosphere that made us feel right at home. But what truly impressed me was the service - our servers were attentive, friendly, and always available to ensure our needs were met. They went above and beyond to make our dining experience exceptional. In short, this restaurant is a must-visit for anyone who loves good food, great service, and a wonderful ambiance. We can't wait to go back and try more of their delicious offerings! read more

For our main dishes, most people went with the usual Indian dishes like chicken tikka masala, while I ordered the salmon. I wish it came with its own rice bowl but that's something you need to order separately. Overall, I thought the food was ok, but honestly nothing blew me away. I think it's a decent spot for a work dinner, especially if you want somewhere that's not super loud and you can actually have a conversation. The restaurant isn't usually full either so I anticipate you can just do walk ins.

This staff at this restaurant embody the true spirit of hospitality and do what they do with deep…read morelove and care. I don't usually lead with non-food aspects of a dining experience, but the compassion ran so deep, here, that it nourished as much as the food. Rather than indulge a diabetic and mentally deteriorating family member's demand for dessert, which would've sent blood sugar levels soaring to unsafe levels, they tried to give him the fruit offered as puja at the shrine towards the back of the dining room. When he declined, they brought out a beautiful enameled wood box of mukhwas (post dinner spices), which was not on offer to guests, generally, to satisfy his sweet tooth. The staff chose to take the truest, deepest care of a customer, even at the expense of profit. We were deeply moved by their kindness. The food, too, was beautiful, made with very fresh ingredients: fresh vegetables, freshly roasted and ground spices, fresh curry leaves. We don't usually eat non-vegetarian Indian food -- or even non-south Indian food. But one of our convives chose this restaurant and there were enough plant=based options available for vegetarians in our group that we went with it. Lahana's menu spans an enormous geography. There's everything from chicken Chettinad from the south, to Mughal / Persian-influenced biryanis and tandooris from the north, to Goan shrimp curry from the west, to mo-mos and kasundi shrimp from the east. Most of the menu is north Indian and non-vegetarian. We started with an incredibly beautiful dish of Palak Chaat ($10.99; Crispy spinach leaf with chickpeas, potatoes, yogurt, mint and tamarind chutney). The batter on the spinach was a little harder and thicker than your traditional besan-based batter, and was probably wheat-based -- so ask if you have an allergy. The plate looked like a piece of abstract art with beautiful red pops of pomegranate, golden sev, deep orange tamarind chutney, green cilantro, white yogurt: all the colors of the Indian flag and then some. A convive ordered another starter of Lasuni Gobi ($11.99; Lightly battered crispy cauliflower with garlic and crushed pepper in a tangy sauce), which was again battered in a harder, thicker crust than usual, and probably not besan. I don't usually love this Indo-Chinese dish though I love Indian and Chinese cuisines in equal measure. Something about this dish reminds me more of low-brow Chinese-American food than either Indian or Chinese. The rest of the group enjoyed it, though. Seasoning in the Chicken Chettinad ($21.99; a traditional South Indian speciality of chicken cooked in a paste made w/ roasted aromatic spices, coconut) was nuanced and complex, clearly made using freshly roasted, freshly ground spices, well tempered with plenty of fresh curry leaves. Chicken in the dish was perfectly tender. The same was true of the Chicken Chutneywala ($21.99; Curried chicken in creamy mango based gravy), which was a touch sweet, but not overwhelmingly so. It's not a dish any of us have ever seen or tried, so it may be an invention of this restaurant. There was a similar degree of sweetness in the Manjil Malai Kofta ($19.99; Vegetable and cheese dumplings cooked in a cashew and tomato gravy). It was incredibly rich and came sprinkled with golden raisins, cashews, and I think other dried fruit and nuts. My personal favorite was the Aloo Gobi ($19.99; Home style spiced potato and cauliflower), a very saucy style made with very fresh, tender cauliflower, tender potatoes, nicely presented with pretty red grape tomatoes and cilantro. I love this dish and it was well made, here. The fluffy grains of long basmati rice in the Dum Murghi Biryani ($21.99; boneless chicken biryani) were deeply imbued with flavor, rich and fat. The warm, sweet spices were in excellent balance, a very good version of this dish. As good as this food is, the even more important takeaway for me is that the staff are channeling a lot of care, humanity, hospitality and love into this restaurant. We are wholly won over.
