I walked by earlier in the day, saw this restaurant, and something about it intrigued me. I decided to come back for dinner, and I'm so glad I did! The food was incredibly flavorful, and the staff was so warm and welcoming. I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to order, so I asked for their recommendations, and they did not disappoint. Everything I had was delicious! The restaurant itself is quaint and cozy, and I really enjoyed having a peaceful, relaxing meal by myself. It was the perfect little dinner experience. And the best part? My entire meal was under $30! I'll definitely be back. read more

Went here in a Tuesday night, with my family (2 adults, 1 child). We were greeted warmly at the door and the dining room was clean and minimalist in decor but smelled great. There weren't too many guests there at that time which was after 6pm but we like that since we aren't big on crowded restaurants. Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable about all the dishes. There's an open kitchen so you can see what the cooks are doing on your way to the very clean bathroom at the back. The drinks were great; we had a Limca (Indian lime soda), mango juice (full of mango flavor and not overly sweet) and Rooh Azfa lemonade (floral tasting). We ordered the samosa, which you get 2 good sized samosas filled with potatoes and cauliflower that are well seasoned with Indian spices like tumeric and cumin and comes with a sweet sauce that tasted like tamarind but I forgot to ask. We also ordered the luchi, which was a flaky, puffed bread that went great with the Aloo Bhartha and achar (spicy, vinegary mixed veggies). For our entrees, we had the Rogan Josh which was a bit on the spicy side and I should've ordered the raita to take down some of the spiciness. We also had the butter chicken, which was not spicy but deliciously seasoned and the shrimp caldinho, which was not spicy but well seasoned and flavorful. All the entrees came with basmati rice but we ordered garlic naan since they were all saucy. The entire experience was very authentic and full of flavor and warmth. If we are ever in the mood again for Indian food, we will definitely be back and try more dishes and the desserts. read more

Stumbled across Mustard while running some errands and gave the lunch special a shot. The restaurant is light and airy with a lovely clean decor. Service was very friendly and the food was delicious. 12.95 lunch of Butter Chicken was tender and flavorful and the sauce had a quality complex homemade taste. The naan was warm and fluffy and the cabbage side dish that was included in the lunch deal might be the best cabbage I've ever had at an Indian restaurant. It's getting harder and harder to find a decent lunch special in NYC and this one was top knotch. The portion size and price were just right. The place was pretty empty when I'm there, so I hope that was just an anomaly and they're getting good business. Please go check them out. I'll be back with friends for sure. read more

Delicious food! Went for the lunch special, had Chana masala. Spicy and delectable! Now I have a favorite Indian restaurant in my neighborhood! read more

Had a hankering for Indian and decided on delivery. Found a deal on GrubHub so ordered Mustard Indian's Lunch Special Rogan Josh plus a Mulligatawny Soup. Really enjoyed everything in the flavorful Rogan Josh Lunch Special, especially along with the warm naan. Particularly worthwhile with my GrubHub promo. The Mulligatawny Soup was less exciting and may be less of a value at its regular price. Since it's nearby, likely pickup next time I order. Would recommend Mustard Indian, especially that Lunch Special. read more

Rude on the phone when ordering, but the vegetable samosa was bomb. A bit pricey for both of these, 20 bucks... read more

I ordered from Mustard Friday May 22, over the phone. It was not my first time but it will be the last time. My wife became sick after eating lamb that was not fully cooked. The whole situation was weird. The young woman who took my order argued with me about how much I ordered. I ordered 2 lamb biryanis, 2 vegetable samosas, 1 aloo paratha and a mango lassi. When she read it back to me, she said 4 samosas, which I missed hearing her say. When I got the total it was higher than I calculated and I realized something was wrong, so I asked to hear my order again. The second time she repeated my order, I heard her say 4 samosas and I attempted to correct the issue. She began to argue that I was in the wrong. I disengaged to prevent escalating into an argument, asked her to remove the samosas, how much was the total and how long the delivery would take. The manner in which she spoke to me gave a bad impression. I don't know how that interaction affected the kitchen staff, but the food I received was not fully cooked. The potatoes in the samosas were hard and undercooked. The lamb in the biryani was also undercooked to the point of being rubbery. Undercooked lamb is the worst, especially because when done right, lamb biryani is amazing! My wife was sick the following morning from the undercooked meat. It was our only meal of the day and it was unacceptable. We didn't even finish eating the food. The most disappointing part was that I have enjoyed ordering from Mustard in the past and felt they were the best Indian restaurant in the area. Now, I must pass that title on to Indian Summer on Lenox ave. read more

Lovely addition to the neighborhood ! I love their mango lassi, allo tiki chaat and soups. read more

Took a cab over. I liked the food first time I went. They say BYOB. And last time I brought liquor and so did my friend and it was fine. This time no liquor just BYO beer or wine I guess. Left. Went back to my excellent Mizu which serves wine and is not falsely advertising. Very unfriendly. read more

Best Indian restaurant I have tried in a long time! Had to come out of Yelp retirement to write this review. Beautiful new restaurant, which was unfortunately not too crowded. Ordered vinadloo, butter chicken, chana masala, and saag paneer. All come with rice. Amazing flavors, not a bad dish all around. Reminded me of my time in Singapore having great Indian food. The complexion of flavors was on another level. Must try in New York City if you are in the area. I was not expecting much but this place blew my expectations away! read more

Service was excellent and the food hit the spot. The music and feel of the restaurant were inviting.

Went in for a birthday takeout meal for myself. Oddly rude and unfriendly attitude and lots of mumbling that was hard to understand. Ended up canceling the order and going to Harlem Shake for exceptionally better service. Food sounds great and the place looks beautiful, but for much better service go to Indian Summer just a few blocks north. read more

Decebt indian restaurabt, the mulligwatany soup was flavorful, ambience and decor was lively. The jalepeni cheese naan was nice. The chana marsala was good flavor. Service was ok and could have been more attentive. But nice lil restaurant when visiting Harlem, NYC. read more

Everything was delicious. I had the lunch special. I had the Murgh (Chicken) Chettinad. Which is named for a Mercantile Caste in Tamil Nadu. We had the mulligatawny soup which was remarkably bland almost like a watered down unspiced dal. The chicken was spiced, tasty, and served with a hot naan. The naan was unremarkable and didn't have a lot of texture. Sort of a commercial mass produced bakery product. The achar, was a mixed pickle, was very spicy and nice. I didn't see any other piles on the menu. The cabbage and potato was spicy and delicious. Easily the pick of the meal. Overall the spot is really nice neighborhood spot. The dining room was bright with sunlight streaming through large storefront windows. Definiatly worth the walk uptown. read more

Excellent place , delicious food , the staff is very warm and amicable. The restaurant is clean and beautiful, totally recommend it.

I came here for my birthday a few months ago. I already knew the food was gonna be amazing because I'd been here before, but the service was stellar. I felt so celebrated and had so much fun, and it was the perfect restaurant to cap off my year. I've since ordered delivery and pickup too many times to count. The tandoori chicken and salmon were standout but truly, everything here is so good. It's also a beautiful space. I hope to be eating here for years to come! read more

The food was really wonderful, especially the dessert! The interior was very pretty and the service was excellent.

Really impressive Indian restaurant in Harlem - the staff there are very attentive, kind, and thoughtful (especially to families). Interior is bright and clean. We ordered daal tadka, garlic naan, raita, mango lassi, and chicken skewer and it was well seasoned, flavorful, and chicken was amazing char and not dry at all. Definitely recommend checking out! We will be returning in the future. read more

I cannot recommend this eatery, for the service is far from satisfactory. Delivery food arrives late, cold with no apologies. When I called the restaurant, the staff was either dismissive or patronizing. Luckily there are many other options in the neighborhood. read more

amazing food, amazing service. my favorite Indian takeout in the city for sure!! Garlic naan out of this world. I also love getting the samosa chaat and chili paneer. Can't go wrong w the classic butter chicken as well read more

That is best Indian food I have ever had! The vegetable biryani, saag paneer, and tandoori chicken were amazing.

Had lunch here yesterday. The Lamb Rogan Josh and Goat Biryani dishes were delicious. Aloo Tikki Chaat for a starter was perfect. The place is very clean and bright. We especially love the BYOB option. Desert was very tasty Indian ice cream and they brought us a complimentary rice pudding which was also delicious. A solid Indian restaurant. The spices are all on point and the environment is excellent. We will definitely return. read more

I got takeout. Delicious! Well-seasoned (spiced authentically). Generous portions. I cannot wait to try everything on the menu.

Wonderful restaurant. Has some unusual dishes that you won't get in regular Indian restaurants - like fish in mustard sauce, amazing goat meat and lamb preparations. Hope more folks start trying out this new place! read more

Mustard is, by far, the best Indian in Harlem. We live in Central Harlem and used to go to Indian Summer but their dishes had so little chicken that we would often be disappointed. Mustard has a great menu, their food is perfect and delicious, authentic, and their service is exceptional. This is our place for amazing Indian food. read more

This may be the best Indian food I have had in NYC. It is nothing fancy, but it is incredibly delicious. Couldn't recommend more

I ordered on Grubhub today for lunch. I found the food to be fresh and hot and very tasty. So I would recommend them. Only thing I suggest is instead of the cabbage to consider offering an appetizer or other option on the side of the lunch special. The delivery also came quick and I appreciated that read more

Absolutely insane Indian food- rich and deep flavors and high quality freshness. Savored every bite. The hospitality was just as incredible. Instant fan and will be back! read more

Fabulous!! Butter chicken & lassi were delicious. Very excited about this new addition to the neighborhood. Will return & highly recommend. 90% of menu is naturally GF, although it's not marked, they explained it and pointed out everything to avoid. read more

yummy lamb vindaloo. I ordered to go but the inside looked nice! Good Indian spot.............

We loved our meal here! Truly one of the best Indian restaurants in Manhattan. We had the butter chicken, the chili paneer, the dal tadka, lasooni gobi and the papri chaat. Everything was perfect. We will definitely be back! read more
