This place only opened up about a month ago, and it is definitely a good fit for the east 80s, which I believe severely lacks good Indian food. The wait staff were very attentive and friendly, and made sure that my girlfriend and I enjoyed our experience. We tried the samosas, saag paneer, chicken tikka masala and chicken korma. The best dish was definitely the saag paneer, but everything was very good. While the portions do not appear to be very large in the bowls they are served in, do not be fooled! One dish per person is easily enough food. I think that the big test to see if a place is good is to determine if I'd go back - and for Om the answer is certainly yes. read more

I have to update this from 4 stars to 5 - the staff fall over themselves to make you feel welcome and service your every need and the food is always A+ A wonderful dining experience! read more

Very good. But expensive! Ambiance simple but enought. Cleanliness ok. One of the best Indian in UES read more

Amazing food! Great service from Christopher! Ordered butter chicken & chicken tika both phenomenal. Fresh and hot naan as well *chefs kiss*

Really cute small place. The light was a bit too dim, but they asked us if the light was ok and made it brighter when said it was. The service was beyond good. The waiter came several times to our table and asked if everything is good. I didn't like the fact that the butter was melted, but I guess it was easier to put it on the naan bread. The bread was delicious, but the tikka masala was a bit too spicy for me. I hoped it would have been lightly spiced since I asked for it. Next time Ill just have to ask for no spice. Overall, cute place. read more

BEST Indian Food - NYC period !!!!! Great food, Great Service. A def. revisit each time I'm craving Indian food when in NYC. This coming from a desi shud tell you all about how good this place is. Jatin New Jersey read more

This place is disgusting! My food was nasty and it came without spoons or any cuttlerly. When I called them about this, they said it wasn't their problem and if I wanted my money back I needed to go all the way there to return their food (!!) on top of that the lady barely speaks English which makes everything that much more difficult. I just wouldn't bother and go somewhere where they're more professional or know how to cook better read more

Hands down the best Indian restaurant in the city. The service is wonderful and friendly. I have only seen 2 waiters, one is my favorite, unfortunately I forgot his name but I left my purse hanging on the chair after I had left and he ran out and chased me down the street to give it to me. What a great guy! The food is delicious. I highly recommend the cachoori chard appetizer, it's a cold lentil patty that's crunchy and delicious. Everything is fantastic. I've been at least 10 times. read more

I came here after a day trip to the Met with a friend. We were hungry, and in the mood for Indian food. The service was prompt, the restaurant clean, the nan was yummy. But my sag panir tasted like chicken soup. It was weird. IT was like not Indian-y, it tasted more like creamed spinach that I could make at home. My friend's chicken tika massala looked good though. Just was disappointed by my dish. read more

So I went back to Om to grab some dinner with some co-workers. This place literally exceeds every expectation from food to service to the ambiance. The aroma of the place will have everyone salivating. We were greeted super fast and welcomed into this cute little romantic spot. It had a very homey feeling. The server, Mohammed, was excellent yet again. He really takes the time to make you feel welcomed and at home. We really enjoyed his service; it was top notch! He recommended some amazing dishes to our party of 4 (Mixed grill, chicken tikka masala, lamb roghan josh and mator paneer). The mango lassi was rich and out of this world. It was smooth and not overwhelmingly sweet. We all loved it. The table got a basket of complimentary crackers with multiple different types of dipping sauces. The tamarind sauce was my favorite while my guests loved the green minty sauce. We started off with samosas for the table (my all time favorite from OM). Mohammed recommended the Malbec which did not disappoint; their serving of wine IS MORE THAN GENEROUS! The OM grill platter was amazing *drools*, it consisted of the most yummiest meats all grilled to perfection.We really loved that dish, all of the kebabs were tender and seasoned well. We ordered some Cheese nan bread with it and PLEASE TRY THE LEMON RICE! We really loved the entire visit to OM everyone was so sweet and there was a familiarity that I loved; we were all treated like family. Even the counter staff was so friendly; two glasses of wine in and I wanted to hug everyone. Prima was a doll and made sure our glasses of water were never empty. Shah, the manager, was very kind and offered us dessert which made our night just that much special. I really love the staff that they have at OM and I am so glad that my friends had such a great time there. The quality of service is the best I've ever experienced and I will continue to be a patron of OM restaurant. Everyone left with a smile and full bellies! read more

Om - Our amazing server Mohammed! - Indian Near Me - New York, New York

The restaurant was amazing. The food was great and the service was great as well. My brother and I came around a chill period but the food came out quickly and the food was reasonably priced as well. read more

For my first trip to New York (say what!?) I discovered that it's entirely possible to eat out in the city on a budget. You just need to know where to look. Cue Om's 50% off lunch special. My friend and I got an appetizer, two entrees, and two orders of naan for less than $20. Portion size was adequate, but I know I would have been disappointed if I were paying full price for dinner (perhaps the dishes are downsized for lunch). The pakora platter is a pretty good deal considering you get to try a few types of fritters (the onion ones are the best), and I would highly recommend the butter chicken. I've only ever had Trader Joe's' version, but Om's butter chicken had me saying Trader Who? read more

i couldn't have been more underwhelmed. We came here specifically for the malai kofta, which is purported to be amazing. I'd say that it was average, since it lacked the flavors I'm used to. The naan (garlic and plain) were good, but again, I've had better even in Wichita, KS. Then there's the tandoori paneer. I prefer mine grilled, and this was overall quite mushy. Mango lassi was ok.... Service was just as bad. I think that the waiter was disappointed that we didn't order more. read more

Came here on a Sunday night for dinner with two. The food was pretty good, but we kept feeling very rushed by the service. They asked if we were ready to order about five times in between wine and ordering appetizers. As for the food, I ordered the lamb and asked for Saag sauce, and my friend ordered the lamb bhuna. Both were pretty average with one bowl of rice (per 2) and then the chicken tikka and garlic naan appetizer. read more

A small, quaint and tasty Indian restaurant on the Upper Eastside with reasonable prices. Both times I dined in after spending time at The Met. The service was semi slow because they only had one waiter and one runner on the floor, but the waiter was really nice and made up for it with his demeanor. We ordered the Tikka Masala and Chili Chicken. The chili chicken wasn't too spicy and would satisfy those of us who aren't quite ready for the full array of Indian spiciness. read more

I miss this place so much. I recently moved away from the upper east side. Where can you get such a great take out special with authentic delicious food. The OM Burhjee is fantastic, I'm Indian and I can say I would bring my parents here to have a great meal. Cooks will make your food very spicy if you want and it's a great value. read more

We always order from here so the other night we decided to come for dinner. As the waiter was taking our appetizer dishes away, all the plates fell. I was covered in sauce and food. It happens. I do feel like they could have gave us a drink on the house though. But nope, nothing. The place is BYOB so that's a plus This is probably one of the better Indian places on the UES. Even with sauce in my shoe, I'd come back. read more

They have good food, great prices, great service, and its BYOB with no corkage fee - not too shabby. I frequent this place quite often and really recommend it. The food is good, they do not charge for basmati rice like some other places do (that annoys me). They have good flavors and the meals can easily be split if you want. While the restaurant is a little the atmosphere is enjoyable. There is a wine store right nearby so you can run out and grab a bottle in the middle of the meal if you so choose. Enjoy. read more

I thought they were more like 3.5 stars but I'll round to 4 since we were surprised by an unexpected 50% off our bill..I had no idea the lunch was 50% off before I came here but what a lovely surprise =) I got the chicken biryani which was solid and quite tasty. My friend got the chicken tikka masala which although tasty was a little scant in terms of pieces of chicken (only seemed to be 4-5 small pieces floating in there). The interior is classier than I had thought it would be, and it wouldn't be a bad choice for a nice (but not too formal) dinner. Wasn't wow-ed but I would come back for lunch since I'm in the area. read more

This review is for delivery order. They have this combo option (for $15) which includes the following: Appetizer (samosa - very good, comes in 2 big pieces with some chickpeas) Entree (lamb vindaloo medium spicy level, which turns out too spicy for me, so maybe choose mild next time. The meat is very tender, just a tad too spicy for me) Naan Basmati rice Few thing of side sauces (no clue what they are but i liked the yogurt one) I'll definitely order or swing by again. read more

Absolutely love this place! If you're craving Indian and are nearby, definitely give this place a try. When I used to go to Hunter College, I would come by for lunch all the time. My favorite from here is the Chicken Tikka Masala with garlic naan, basmati rice, and a mango lassi to wash it down. Sounds expensive eh? Only paid $16 (before tip) because of the lunch special! The curry is very flavorful and with the right amount of spice. The chicken can be iffy; sometimes tender, other times it was just slightly overcooked. But I think I'd rather have that than undercooked. Anyway, the naan is also really yummy and the lassi creamy and delicious. Overall a great little affordable Indian spot in the UES. Definitely try it if you're in the area. read more

Food was very good and they have a discount if you pay cash (not sure if only for lunch)....the service was good and there's plenty selection for the vegetarians and vegans out there....which is a plus. Will try again....OMMMM read more

Ordered a delivery and it was on time. The food was hot and the naan was good. The rest of the food was barely okay. The spicing was good but all of it seemed like it had been sitting on a buffet table for a couple of hours. The samosa and the onion bhajis were very doughy and poorly cooked. Overall this is not a place to go to because there are so many better places for the same price. read more

I knew it was too good to be true......... Appetizers are good Samosa - authentic & not to heavy, light on the peas sadly Cauliflower sweet & sour - good Yellow daal - excellent Entres - Lamb biryani - small tough pieces of meet in multi colored rice, way below the freshly cooked interesting dish it should be Chicken vindaloo - Another FAIL. Sauce was not that hot and tasted more like a gravy. Naan - not good, I doubt they have correct oven I REALLY wanted to like this place and I hope they take feedback and use it. The restaurant itself is small, nicely decorated and very clean and BYOB! Good luck but please BE MORE AUTHENTIC. read more

This is the most amazing chicken tikka masala and aloo gobhi that I've ever had! The customer service is also very amazing, and there's free delivery in UES. We will continue to visit this restaurant in the future. read more

Best Indian I've found in UES. The place itself is small and can get hot in there. The food though is amazing. Tikka masala is the perfect combination of flavors. I see its BYOB too, which I'll definitely be doing my next visit. read more

Great food and excellent service with a very nice and soothing decor. We feel at home when Chris is our waiter, and he knows we especially love the Fish Masala. We live only a few blocks away and this restaurant is such a great addition to York Ave. I've been to a few Indian restaurants on the UES and I find the food at Om to be the best. I definitely recommend. read more

Really terrific Inidian, amazing naan, and fantastic take out specials. The Chicken Tikka Massala is always a go-to classic; the Aloo Gobi Matar is fantastic. I also really like the pokora. Seriously great addition to the neighborhood! read more

Great experience at Om. The food is delicious and colorful. The naan was fresh and soft. I had the Okra and my friend had the buttered chicken which I could not help but nibble on because the flavors where absolutely perfect. The service was exceptional and the crowd was smart and diverse. If you like Indian food you have to give this place a try. It has been noted as one of the best in the city and with good reason. Highly enjoyable in every way. read more

I gotta say I'm surprised and impressed by this place. I was weary of the high reviews given that this is on the UES where there isn't as much Indian food to choose from. I thought some of the hype could have been due to the lack of other options. Not the case! This place is legitimately great. Saturday evening around 8 pm, table of 2. No wait, but most of the tables were taken. Throughout the evening, it stayed pretty full. The decor is minimal, but nice. It's a calm, white-table cloth environment. We asked our waiter several questions and his opinions on various dishes, all of which he answered patiently. Chicken Vindaloo - perfect spice level (not the spiciest I've had, but no need for extra spice without reason). I asked for light oil and they accommodated that. It really was not very oily, which was great. Great flavor, good portion, all white meat. Two pieces of potato in the dish as well. Chicken Do Pyaza - this dish isn't spicy at all, not sweet at all, very mild, and not overly flavorful in any direction. Nice, calm dish. Uses green chilies instead of red like the vindaloo. Ample amounts of onions and green peppers in this dish as well. Entrees are served with basmati rice, which isn't too oily at all. Chicken dishes are all white meet other than the tandoori chicken. Garlic Naan - we asked whether he recommended the garlic naan or the onion naan and he told us to go with the garlic. We did. It was great, soft, fresh, and warm. Prominent garlic flavor, but it wasn't fully incorporated into the naan. It seemed almost like an afterthought added on, which could be improved. Mango Lassi - great compliment to the food. Would absolutely stop by again if I were in the area. read more

This review is for dining in at Om. The environment at Om is cute - very small, cramped, hole-in-the-wall feel, but Om seems a lot more geared towards take-out food than dining in. We went expecting fast service since they weren't very crowded and we had a deadline, but Om disappointed on this aspect. The service was slow - didn't check up on us very often and took a while to service our requests (such as bringing the requests). The food took a while to appear. It was frustrating since we saw them service a ton of take-out orders while we waited. To add to this, we were seated near the door, which offers no protection from the cold as people go in and out. Since Om was getting many take-out orders that night, people were going in and out frequently, sending blasts of cold air at us while we waited for our food and wished for the experience to end. Not very pleasant. As for the actual food, it wasn't anything special, but it wasn't bad either. Decently tasting Indian food at a good price. The naan was crispy in parts though, while I'd expect it to be soft and warm everywhere. I will not be returning to dine-in at Om and do not recommend doing so. However, their take-out/delivery service seems to be booming, so that is an option I'll consider in the future. read more

The food was amazing. The interior is very subtle and soothing and the service is great! I went there with a friend for Christmas dinner and went back next week with my family before we ushered in the new year. Christopher, who had served us the first time, recognized me immediately even with the masks on. He recommended the samosas, the goat curry and the gulab jamun all of which were fantastic - this is on top of what we ordered - chicken tikka, butter chicken, paneer saag and the bhindi masala. Dont miss out on the rice and the garlic naans!! Overall a great experience and I would totally go back again. read more

I don't write many reviews but after going here I promised my girlfriend I would because we were so impressed by this restaurant. The food was excellent and right now they don't have a liquor license so you could go to the liquor store next door and grab a bottle of wine (save some money). I highly recommend this place. I complain a lot about the lack of restaurants in the Upper East Side but this one is really good. Also the owner coming to the table was a nice side touch that made you feel really good for being here. And they have an awesome take out special right now. Anyway, highly recommended for anyone that likes Indian food. read more

So nice to find an Indian restaurant on the UES! Service was incredible! Food was good and the prices were decent. Like prior reviews mentioned, they have no liquor license, but you may bring your own beer or wine, if you like! read more

The food was fabulous... And, 50% off at lunch..... Totally unexpected! The entire meal was less than $20.00. Most impressive, the owner was there. Greeting customers, and asking of we were pleased with the meal. We took a take out menu as we are in the neighborhood. What a great find. I have been to Mumbai, Delhi, Banglaore, And Chennai.... The food here was as good, if not better than anything I have had in India. Marvelous! read more

Om is the best Indian Restaurant on the UES. Their sauces and spicing are subtler and more sophisticated than others we have had.

Ordered delivery from here a few times. The food was all good, but wish they offered some vegetarian dishes half the size and the meat dishes were bigger instead. The green sauce exploded in our delivery bag so that was a bit of a mess to clean up. read more

Om - Delivery with green sauce spillage. - Indian Near Me - New York, New York

My favorite Indian in the area since Brick Lane closed. Came here with my wife and 8 year old. Food: tandoori mixed grill, paneer makhni, and samosas all excellent. Paneer tandoor high quality but could use more spice. Amazing wine pours for $7 / glass. Service excellent. Nice clean bathrooms. read more

I ordered a bhindi masala, rice and a plain paratha for takeout. I don't know what happened, but the bhindi masala was dry, dry, dry and there's really no other way to describe it, but as "old" and like it was not made that day or even a day or two prior, or maybe even a week prior. yuck, how disappointing. i couldn't even finish it. it's still sitting in my fridge. I don't think I will order from here again, which is disappointing. read more

Loved it! My roommate and I came here one night to check it out and we were not disappointed. The food was amazing and reasonably priced and the service was just as good. We started with the samosas, which is a must if you decide to go, then ordered lamb vindaloo and saag panir for entrees. Everything was fantastic. Between the great service and amazing food, this is definitely a place I will be visiting again and again. Also worth noting - you can bring wine in with a small corking fee of $10. read more
