This place was an absolute stellar experience. Upon entering, I had a very nice mezcal drink with Kashmiri pepper, and spoke with the owner about different food and spices, she was very nice and welcoming. We ordered Himalayan Momo, paratha, naan, chicken biryani and lamb vindaloo as well as lentil dumplings. Everything had such unique flavor and spice! Absolutely blown away by the food, service was great and atmosphere was a delight. read more

Saag paneer was good. Not too spicy and good flavor. However definitely over priced. The garlic naan was the best I've had. It took a bit of time for the food to come out but it was worth it. The ambiance was beautiful. read more

I booked Paisley's Valentine's Day non-veg menu, hoping for a special evening, but the experience fell short. We arrived 30 minutes early for our reservation but still ended up waiting an hour past our scheduled time to be seated. Service was also inconsistent--I ordered a second drink after the second dish, and it never arrived. By the fourth dish, I had given up on it and didn't bother reminding anyone. The food itself was good, and I imagine the experience might be better on a less hectic night. However, the long wait and inattentive service were a letdown, especially given the occasion. One nice touch was the complimentary rose from Venus et Fleur. Also, be aware that a 20% gratuity is automatically added to the bill. The space was nicely decorated with Valentine's Day themed things though I would have preferred Desi music playing instead. read more

No shortcuts here. Expansive menu and great food. Solid portions of protein with the curries.

Food quality is outstanding, I come from a European food experience, this was my 1st time in an Indian restaurant, the variety of flavors was like a rainbow in one ecstatic experience after an other! I had the benefit of trying many dishes, since I was in a group, the sauces and flavors reminded me of a high end restaurant in a Vegas casino. The service was very prompt and cordial. The ambiance was a perfect classic fit for the area, timeless, and left you with no doubt of where you are!! Worth more than the cost of the dinner! read more

Perfectly solid Indian establishment with classic dishes as well as some you don't find as often. I had a goat curry which was delicious, though a bit scant on the goat. For $38, the price per oz had to be super high! Also had garlic naan, which was amazing. Very pleasant space, we sat next to a window and watched all the passersby on Greenwich St. Service was prompt and affable - would definitely return though maybe next time I get a chicken dish! read more

Discovered a wonderful a new restaurant on this trip. Nice open space. Great looking bar. Friendly owners/hosts that make you feel welcome. Ordered the Pahadi Murgh and samosa chat for appetizers. Both were good especially the Murgh which came out perfectly tender. Dinner was a Nihari and tikka masala with a side of daal tadka. All dishes were done very well. Definitely a return trip here on the next visit to NYC. read more

Truly disappointed with my dinner experience here last night. 1. The eggplant chaat tasted horrible. 2. The Paneer khurchan barely had any paneer in it. It was a total ripoff. 3. Was charged $21 for a mocktail when not one mocktail's price on the menu was over $14. Talk about swindling. 4. The bar tender was extremely incompetent and took forever to get his act together and serve us anything. 5. Finally both the toilets were filthy. Never again... read more

We were racially profiled and they added a gratuity to our party of four. I have lived in New York City for 40 years and I have never had a Restaurant add gratuity to my check until today.. I sat down with three brown skinned 20 somethings, and i myself am a minority. It was demoralizing and disheartening to know that this happens in this day and age.. and by the way, the food was subpar. read more

Very very disappointed with my Dine In experience here . 1. The small plate offerings, appetizers per say, are really small - 3 pieces per order, though each costs almost like a main course entrée; 2. The Multani Paneer was like chewing on leather, just 4 pieces of spoon sized rolls of fried paneer. There was no reaction from the server to our complaint, except that she will inform the manager; a total ripoff.; 3. The Baigan Bhartha did not appear, smell or taste like flame/coal roasted baigan; 4. The Naans were not fluffy and appears to have been made from non-fermented dough; 5. The dessert Kulfi Falooda, was another big disappointment by quality as well as quantity' there was one or two spoonful of kulfi in about 75ml of rose syrup flavored non fat milk with perhaps 4-5 strings of noodles presented in a cocktail glass; that was filled half - just like cocktails; another total ripoff; 6. A small plate of raw onions and green chillies carried a charge of $6; 7. The server was totally non-reactionary to any comment or complaint, and her reaction was limited to uploading issues to manager !!! NEVER AGAIN \\\\ read more

OMG, the food! I ordered Achari Chicken, Khaman Dhokla, and the cool down cocktail - a 5 star for all The Chicken was so tender and flavorful, the presentation was exquisite The cocktail was super refreshing And the dhokla was the perfect complement. It comes with a mango pickle type side, I asked for the usual mint chutney and tamarind chutney and the server happily got it for me. Exceptional service overall - Anisa was super helpful helping me choose my drink (Silk Road or Cool down?) and food (paisley chicken or achari) - and getting me to my perfect choice. An extra bonus when I discovered that the lady at the reception was the owner, Juthika herself! It instantly explained how amazing the food and experience was. She is an architect by background - so expect strong design aesthetics when you visit! read more

I made a reservation for my husbands birthday two months in advance and they just called me the night before at 10 PM saying that the restaurant is closed and they cannot take my reservation.

"A good choice for a nice dining experience" Came here for Diwali and had a nice meal. It's a bit of a mix of eclectic modern Indian food in a contemporary setting. Why has the lower West Side become a haven for upscale Indian restaurants? Pros * Upscale * Wide range of dishes for almost everyone's tastes * More mild for those who don't like super intense "street" food Indian Cons * A little pricey * Service was ok * The room feels a bit "cold" and could use some dressing up. And the bar has too many disco lights. They need a professional interior designer read more

This place does not take feedback well. When we gave feedback to our waiter about some of the dishes, the waiter and manager appeared to be personally offended. Weird. Mocktails were way too sweet. Food was just ok: samosas, dahl, chicken tikka, raj paneer, naan, and jeera rice. They were out of all of their desserts, except the kulfi. It wasn't edible. I've had amazing kulfi, and this was not it. Would not return. read more

Wow doesnt begin to describe the experience of Paisley! I had the pleasure of dining there for a late dinner yesterday and it was nothing short of perfection!! The cuisine is absolute NEXT LEVEL. We ordered a plethora of bites including the Samosas, Mushroom Croquettes, Garlic Naan, Goat Curry and Shrimp Moilee. Each dish was a breathtaking note in a symphony of flavor. Then we had the great pleasure of meeting the owner, the amazing, Juthika Bedi, her engaging spouse and their BRILLIANT new chef who were inspiring and gave context to the greatness of this Tribeca gem! Finally.. we closed our exquisite meal with a coconut based dessert reminiscent of panna cotta or creme brulee but taken to a level that I would classify as the best dessert I have ever had. Paisley is without doubt a DO NOT MISS!!! read more

We happened upon Paisley while here on business and what a treat! we shared 3 appetizers and each of them was so full of flavor and beautifully presented! The cocktails were so different and delicious too! I highly recommend you try this lovely restaurant!. We will definitely be back! read more

We came in around 5 pm on a Saturday and had a nice private dining experience. The service was prompt. Ambience of this place is amazing. I really liked the interior decor, lamps and blue Indian style design behind the bar. The food was good, not too heavy or creamy for an Indian restaurant. The spice and flavor profile was perfect in the chana masala. The crispy, chewy, garlicky cauliflower in a tomato sauce was delicious. The samosas were buttery and flakey with well seasoned potatoes. read more

Delightful Indian cuisine. The staff was very helpful in making recommendations and answer questions. We started with appetizers Samosas, garlicky cauliflower, crispy eggplant. Followed by lamb chops, chicken tiki Marsala, Nihari - slow cooked beef. Can't forget the naan - Garlic naan. We were quite pleased and full but someone said we had to have dessert! We went with the crème brûlée and a chocolate mousse with coffee and tea. Those were the most common of all the things we ate. Not too impressive but good too. We all had a delightful evening! The atmosphere was light and airy thought the place was full. Definitely worth another visit!! read more

Very solid Indian place! I would come here just for their chicken tikka masala, basmati rice, and onion chili naan mixed together in one heavenly bite. The chicken tikka masala was so creamy and rich and tangy. The basmati rice was a wonderful base and had a great texture. The onion chili naan was spicy and buttery. So chicken tikka masala on basmati rice wrapped in onion chili naan is a bite I often dream of. Their crispy eggplant chaat is good, love the various sauces and bursts of pomegranate seed. It could've had a stronger eggplant flavor however. All of the other dishes were forgettable or misses in flavor. But I'd come back just for that bite. read more

Paisley is a downtown Indian restaurant on Greenwich St that serves impressive delicately crafted food. We were a large reserved group and were seated right away. As you enter the restaurant, you see the paisley brand on the wall and to your left is the bar - the decor was done beautifully. Perfect for a date! Service: 10/10 Food: 9.5/10 We got lollipop chicken, samosas, fried cauliflower and fried eggplant for appetizers and for entrees we got chicken tikka masala, 2 lobster with spinach rice, short ribs, shrimp curry, and chicken. Everything was flavorful and enjoyable. My favorite was the cauliflower! The entrees (curries) come with basmati rice. The best part of the restaurant is the drinks and desserts!! Desserts are mostly $15 each. Since we were a large group of over 5, a 20% service fee was added to the bill. We paid about $830 for dinner. Bathrooms are unisex and clean! Thank you Paisley for serving us delicious and flavorful food! read more

Came to dinner here with two friends. I was looking forward to a wonderful dinner, and love trying new Indian restaurants. And while the food was good, the service was a bit off-putting: e.g., We were told we had to put all of our food in at once (no ordering additional food later). Then when it was time to pay, they wouldn't split our bill (3-ways). And throughout service, they were kind of abrupt toward our party. Not terribly helpful or kind. And not really very attentive either. That said, the food was good. We ordered samosa chat (excellent), dahi bhalla (good), paneer tikka masala (good), baingan choka (good, and something new to me!), and garlic naan. read more

Delicious. Everything tasted great, fresh, unique, and special. Nice, secret back room fits 25 people. Mother and daughter run the restaurant. Their cute golden retriever was at the front door. We all liked it and not much was left. Saag lamb, Saag paneer - may have had some Parmesan sprinkles, chicken tikka masala, daal makhani, naan, rice, veg kofta was amazing and sort of sweet and sour.

I went to this modern Indian restaurant which kind of in the middle of nowhere with several others as part of one of my usual food groups. We left a bit hungry after ordering a whole lot and spending a lot. The chef I believe used to be at Tamarind, a famous Indian spot also known for good flavors (albeit not spicy) and small portions, so this kind of makes sense. For a drink I ordered the Silk Road consisting of bourbon, blackberry, passion fruit, and chai spice liqueur. This was a delicious cocktail and I would recommended with a good hit of bourbon along with the sweet and sour fruits. The staff was friendly and and the back area we sat in was a nice modern space. Dahi Ke Kebab- Yogurt, roasted vermicelli, red bell pepper jam I've never had this before and the person who asked to order this says that it's not that common to find in Indian restaurants. This was a tasty dish consisting of said yogurt with some toasty vermicelli on top and the bell pepper sauce added some good extra flavor. I would recommend this Crab Koli - Jumbo lump crab, coconut milk, tomato sauce crab tiki, madras curry powder, naan chips I kind of see the inspiration from his old spot but I prefer this version. There might have been a small amount of crab but it was quite well flavored even if it really weren't enough naan chips. Garlicky Cauliflower - Crisped cauliflower tossed in garlic, cumin black pepper, tangy sauce This was essentially their version of Lasoni Gobi. The fry was lighter then most places which is a bit of refinement and it was pretty good. Seared Scallops - Cilantro cafreal sauce, mango salsa Three tiny scallops but they were well flavored. I would have preferred them also grilled slightly more also. Saag Paneer - Mustard greens, broccoli rabe, spinach sauce, Indian cheese, spice Perfectly normal version. Portion size was good compared to the other mains. Chicken Tikka Masala - Grilled chicken breast, creamy tomato sauce, fenugreek Chicken was tender but there wasn't nearly enough of it compared to the sauce. Also fine. Lamb Chops - Mashed potatoes, crispy brussels sprouts Well flavored lamb chops with just enough chew. Mashed potatoes were a throwaway without much flavor and an odd texture. I think pongal or another starch would work better if they want to elevate. Garlic Naan Very good. Fresh. Not much oil. Desserts: Chai Chocolate Mousse - Parle-G cookie crumb, strawberry, blackberry, orange whipped cream, roasted chai spice Couldn't really taste the chai but the mousse was fine. Light orange. Nice mix of fruit at least. Not recommended. Double Ka Meetha- Bread pudding, saffron, caramelized apricot, chenna I ordered this with the person who got the Dahi Ke Kebab. Tiny portion but outstanding flavors. Would recommend heavily. Excellent cocktail but I found the food not so good and definitely overpriced. The flavors were similar to Tamarind but somehow blander which is saying a lot with the best dishes in terms of flavor either being too small or just way too much for the quality. I hope for the best for them as the staff was night but I wouldn't go back. 3 as it's newer and due to the cocktail and particularly good dessert/a couple fine appetizers. read more

Food-pretty solid. The fish curry was tasty 5/5 and so was the Delhi (potato) chaat 5/5. Garlic naan decent 4/5. Went at around 7pm on a Saturday and they had run out of the seared scallops and the crab koli Drinks-Would recommend the Funky monk-ey one if you want a sweeter drink with rum! Service: 3.5-4/5. I think waitstaff know that their food takes awhile and kept reassuring the people next to us and our table that the food was coming. I think 3 dishes small or big should be ok for 2 people. I liked that they kept telling us that the food was coming, but deff very slow. Be prepared to wait for both drinks and food. Ambiance. 5/5! Very cool bar and blue colors. Beautiful decor. Bathroom: good br read more

This is a super cute restaurant. I wanted to support more woman owned restaurants, and this was one of them! Love the mother daughter combo and Indian women! You have my full attention! The food was good! I had the chicken keema dosa, which was good but heavy. My only complaint would be the prices. Chaat and street food for over $23 is pricey. Granted, it's Tribeca but I'm not sure who the target audience is! I would love to try their dinner menu in the future! read more

Amazing !!! I come from all the way uptown 207th street just for this place. The owners are so kind and friendly , as are their staff !! And of course the food is alwayyyys delicious and perfect, service is so kind - I have severe but and shellfish and green pea/ lentil allergy, every server I've had is knowledgeable of the menu and if they don't know something , are quick to ask the kitchen and bartenders to make sure my food is safe for me. And !!! It's beautiful !!! Cozy restaurant with a chic and colorful yet calming aesthetic, truly I love it here. read more

The food here is solid. The appetizers and desserts are the highlights, while the entrees are just fine. For appetizers, would recommend the Delhi chaat, Dahi Bhalla, and garlicky cauliflower. For dessert, would recommend the malai kulfi (and ask if there is kheer available -- it wasn't on the menu, but the kitchen obliged when we asked, and it was delicious). The chai chocolate mousse is good...but didn't have much chai flavor. Entrees were good, but not great. Service is a bit brusque and slow. read more

Don't sleep on Paisley. Honesty Paisley might be one of the best Indian restaurants I've had in the city. The price point is expensive but the ambiance and quality of food is amazing. We decided to go on a summer day and the interior was simply stunning. We got a table and decided to order a variety of dishes from appetizers to main curries. To start the cauliflower has a perfect coating and the sauce was so succulent unlike junk food greasy sauces. Their chicken with green seasoning was sublime with its depth of flavor. For the main we had a rich curry that soaked up the naan and rice well. The food didn't leave us feeling too heavy. Definitely will be back for more! read more

Paisley is a great restaurant. My friend and I went and we had very fast service. The flavors are very well done. We appreciated the fast service but perhaps they were a little too on top of filling our waters (there was no one else there but us so they were just hovering over us). Generally, the ambiance is extremely nice and the curry is great. We spent right around $60 per person. Felt like generally it was a good deal for great food. read more

The interior is beautiful! High ceilings, lights, a fantastic space. An Indian couple welcomed us. Were they the owners? I don't know. They were very nice. Super warm. we only had two things to eat, but they were both good. The Delhi chaat was very tasty. The sont was perfectly done. Then we had the paneer something from the bigger dishes, which was actually a paneer in gravy, so it's not a kadai paneer but was very tasty. The naans were made fresh in a tandoor yum. Thumbs up from me! read more

Food is delicious, service is great. Will definitely come back! My favorite apps were the pahadi chicken and the spicy crab. For mains, I highly recommend the lotus root kofta and the Palak paneer. The onion stuffed naan was delicious. We got the malai naan which was a bit too decadent for our taste and the lamb shank main wasn't my favorite. All in all great spot - can't wait to come back for their brunch menu! read more

My wife and I have been to Paisley 3 times now and you might be wondering why we frequented a place I'm giving only 3 stars? Lets find out... So our first visit was delightful. Everything we ordered was good and we didn't have any let downs. We specifically went there because they advertised they had the best chicken tikka masala in NY. The first time we had it, it was definitely excellent and got a high score but we'll come back that. We ordered the samosas and garlicky cauliflower for appetizers. I've had better samosas, but theirs was good. The cauliflower was definitely the better appetizer and I liked it here more than other places. For our entrees we ordered the makhmali murgh, chicken tikka masala, half tandoori cornish hen and vegetable curry. We're not into trying new things we don't know, but rather we like to try what we do know in different places to find the place that serves it the best. The makhmali murgh was excellent all 3 times we had it, the mango chutney it's served with it makes it even better. The tandoori cornish hen was good on the first visit but we didn't order it subsequently because the portion was just too small. Perhaps the full order would be better. We like to get some vegetables when all we're eating is protein and carbs, so we got the vegetable curry. We like it spicy and they followed that request each time. The first time we had it, it was excellent. It was exactly what we wanted. Great flavor and spice, perfect contrast to the chicken tikka masala and makhmali murgh. The second time we went, the chicken tikka masala was pretty bad. Perhaps too much tomato sauce or purée, it was extremely tangy. The flavor profile that it had from our first visit was just not there. The vegetable curry was still really good, but not as good as the first time. Our third visit is why I'm giving them 3 stars. Once again the chicken tikka masala was just too tangy and it didn't have the right flavors it should. Nothing like it was on our first visit. The vegetable curry also didn't taste as good but was still enjoyable. To us the taste of the food comes first, consistency of that taste comes second, third is the service and the last is the ambience. We don't budget ourselves for food, especially good food, so that doesn't fall in our ratings and rankings. With that said however; considering how expensive Paisley is, they seriously lack on consistency. The chicken tikka masala basically felt like it was from 3 different restaurants the 3 different times we had it. The vegetable curry though it was still good, was never as good as it was the first time. The only things that tasted exactly the same each time were the rice, garlic naan, and makhmali murgh. That to us is unacceptable at this price point. A restaurant should keep and follow recipes so they maintain their quality and consistency. Taste: 4/5 Consistency: 1/5 Service: 3/5 Ambience: 4/5 read more

Paisley is a great new Indian restaurant in my neighborhood. While one would be tempted to compare Paisley with Tamarind given that they are both in Tribeca and are in the same price range, I will steer clear of doing so. The restaurant has attractive indoor and outdoor seating. Paisley's menu has a great selection of small plates. I tried the Delhi Chaat (one of the four options for chaat) and it was a worthy appetizer/first course. The side of tadka dal was my favorite. Any Indian restaurant that cannot make a good dal should quit trying to be innovative in other dishes. The Rajwadi Paneer was quite good, although I wasn't particularly fond of the masala sauce. And the corn roti was more plain than versions I've had elsewhere. The gulab jamun dessert and the mocktail rounded out what was a filling and enjoyable dinner. Net-net, I would say the food is a solid three. The service is easily a five, and I would rate it next only to my company. I hope to be back soon! read more

Paisley's food is absolutely delicious! The garlicky cauliflower is a must, it was so good. I had the Nihari and really loved it--it was like a spicy beef stew. And honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on their menu. Also, for people with nut allergies like me, they do not use any nuts! And the service was great and very considerate of my allergies. I felt very safe! read more

Let's start with service, which is substandard for the level of prices they charge. Everything was late, drinks, food, etc. They push the Naan and the Saratoga water and keep opening new bottles without asking. Everything over-breaded or over -sauced. The scallops were on the fishy side, which tells me they were not the freshest. The ambience is good. They need to step up their game, if they want to survive the long haul. They also need to cross-train their staff so that everyone knows everything; not just one or two people. read more

The ambience is classy but very friendly. We were a very large loud group and the accommodated us well. The appetizers were fabulous. Dinner dishes also very good. Service was excellent. Attentive but not intrusive. Highly recommend read more

Can't rave about this place enough! Came here for bottomless boozy brunch recently. For $50, enjoy a selection of dishes and unlimited refills on drinks including margarita, martini, mimosa, sangria. This place has plenty of seating and a large open restaurant, it's great ambience. The decor at the bar is GORGEOUS! Beautiful blue bulbs!! For the food: 1) manchurian hakka noodles with chicken - this reminds me of lo mein, it came steaming hot and the flavor was insane, you can really taste that this was cooked in something similar to a wok, really reminds me of Chinese food which I am always down for 2) Keema minced lamb - these lamb are cooked in so much seasoning, you can really taste the spices in every bite, they came accompanied with these butter rolls that were squishy and chewy so you can make DIY lamb burgers, delicious! 3) Future Boss brunch board - this board is everything. DEFINITELY get this. If you can't decide and want a sampler platter, this is the one to get. The board came with an assortment of dishes like the chili chicken, masala fries, and keema minced lamb. This was served with a side of masala cheese naans and tikka masala sauce. That sauce was literally life changing. Definitely put this restaurant on your list for your next brunch or when you're craving Indian next! I will certainly be back here real soon, still thinking about that tikka masala sauce... :) read more

Came here for dinner with a few friends on a stormy night in winter. Between the four of us we shared the pahadi chicken tikka (best appetizer), cauliflower and paneer appetizers. For the main course we got various breads and rajwadi paneer (most liked entree) and Jaipuri kofta. The food itself was good, but not great. The staff and the ambiance with roomy tables was very good, unlike the tight midtown restaurants. read more

We really wanted to like, really love Paisly, but they are not anywhere near my standards. There were several things that we got delivered, that were very good. Noticeably the Samosa Chaat was very authentic, Bhindi do Payaza was perfectly spiced and cooked, ah... but probably too oily. Paratha was good as was the Crispy Eggplant Chaat. But the huge fail was the Kashmiri Kofta...no no no. The Kofta balls were soft and almost like undercooked. Yuck. Traditionally they should be fried, they weren't. This was inedible. Never eat from here again. Especially at the prices, and if you are going to prepare something in a non-traditional way, put that in the description. read more
