My favorite Indian food spot in the neighborhood. I definitely think this is a spot to come with a reservation. Despite not having one we were seated quickly. Service was so kind and accommodating. We came with a toddler and she made a mess of the noodles, but they were sweet about it. They were super attentive, even when they were really busy. Food here is really nicely spiced and flavorful. The paneer is house made and was so delicious. I can't wait to return! read more

Food: This is a very popular Indian restaurant that was packed even on a Monday night. The food is excellent here! We tried the Ghati Chicken, Szechuan Noodles, Basmati Rice, and Chapati (flatbread). The Ghati Chicken is very flavorful and quite spicy; the dark meat chicken is served in a stone bowl with a mixture of spices and spicy oil. It goes well with the basmati rice. The waitress recommended the Szechuan Noodles which was also very tasty and had a mixture of vegetables. The Chapati was good but nothing special - just a flat thin bread (similar to roti but less buttery). I would highly recommend the Ghati Chicken and Szechuan Noodles and can't wait to go back to try their other dishes. They offer a variety of appetizers, entrees (goat and vegetable biryani, paneer, butter chicken, fish), and sides. Service: The restaurant seemed a bit understaffed with only one waitress taking orders and seating customers and another waiter filling water and clearing empty dishes. It took a long time for us to get our order in, but the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Service was a bit slow because they were understaffed, but despite this, the two servers were excellent and did their best to get to everyone. Ambiance: The restaurant isn't big, but they are able to accommodate both large and small groups. Seating is tight but not too bad. I would make reservations because the place fills up quickly during peak dinner time. Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend this restaurant and can't wait to go back! read more

If you're craving authentic Mumbai flavors in Brooklyn, NY is an absolute gem. What makes even more special is the story behind it. Two friends took a leap of faith, left their jobs, and came together to build something rooted in passion and authenticity. And you can truly taste that courage in every dish. One partner's husband also steps in after office hours to help run the show -- a beautiful reminder that this place is powered by family, friendship, and heart. Now, the food... We ordered a full spread, and every dish transported us straight to Mumbai and Maharashtra. The was fresh, vibrant, and perfectly balanced with chaat masala -- light yet packed with texture. The (they added Amul cheese!) was spot on -- soft pav, flavorful batata vada, and that punchy garlic chutney that brings it all together. The had that authentic spice and depth, topped with farsan and paired with buttery pav -- comfort food at its best. The was beautifully executed, with house-made paneer coated in a bold chili-garlic glaze. The stood out with its dry-roasted coconut, curry leaves, and kokum -- rich, coastal flavors done right. The was creamy and slow-simmered to perfection, indulgent without being heavy. The () tasted like something straight from a Maharashtrian home kitchen -- soulful and satisfying, especially with their flaky, buttery . The () with chutney was crisp and well-fermented, just the way it should be. And we ended with the Mumbai Special -- strong, aromatic, and nostalgic. Beyond the food, the warmth and sincerity of the team truly stand out. You can feel the intention behind this venture -- built not just as a restaurant, but as a dream brought to life. Brooklyn is lucky to have Pangat. Highly recommend -- We'll definitely be back soon! read more

Marathi and Konkan cooking are probably some of my favorite regional Indian cuisines. I have fine memories of thalipeeth and sabudana vada at Aaswad in Dadar, and sol kadhi is a drink that cuts right to your soul. Finally, there is a place to have that authentic taste in NYC at Pangat, although it's admittedly mostly offered at their occasional "Marathi village" pop-up lunches. We tried the veg thali and loved everything, with the pithla (zunka) and bhaat being my favorite. I had never tried mataki usal before, but on a cold day, it was a hearty, warming delicacy. It's served with bhakari, which is a millet based bread similar to bajra ki roti. My only wish is that they would make this cuisine available in some capacity as part of their regular menu. There are too many restaurants around the city falsely claiming to serve "regional" Indian cooking, but this one is the real deal. read more

Side note- Menu in person is a little bit different. They also had a bunch of specials, including a fried chicken appetizer, a whole crab, two other types of biryani (chicken and shrimp,) and a few others. I was at this excellent new Indian restaurant earlier in the evening with one of my groups, whose chef used to cook for some of the Unapologetic Foods spots. The food was overall delicious, and while there were some hiccups in the service, it's understandable given how new they are. They were also very friendly and apologetic about the dosas taking so long, as one of the tawa grills was broken. They currently don't have a drink menu, but they do offer the usual Indian sodas and a non-alcoholic beer (Athletic Brewing). The restaurant is BYOB for now, and they should have a license by the end of December or so. The only appetizer we got was the S.P.D.P for $8, listed as "crispy puris, chutneys, yogurt, sev. The OG Mumbai munch." This was an excellent version of pani puri, or, in this case, dahi puri, since the filling was dahi/yogurt. It was a bit sweet but not too much, and there was a mild heat, presumably from the powder on top. The bit of sev on top added a nice crunch, along with the puri's texture. This was very tasty and very much worth it, as it came with four pieces. The best main dish was the Goat Biriyani Military Style for $28, listed as "fall-off-the-bone goat, with whole spices & short grain rice." It was a bit different from the usual biryani in a few ways: The bread crust/dome was much more cooked down and edible rather than just used as a cooking tool, and the rice was short-grain instead of the usual long-grain. Outside of these minor differences, the flavors were outstanding, with the goat extremely tender and the masala blend strong but not overpowering. There were plenty of crunchy onions, and the dish was nice and spicy, with the raita, which had some chopped vegetables, helping to balance the heat. Overall, this reminded me of the old Adda biryani before they moved to the East Village, outside of the short-grain rice, and I would highly recommend it. There was also a delicious version of Szechuan Noodles for $16 listed as "Noodles with crunchy veg. Wok-tossed with fiery flavor." Compared to other spots that serve Indian Chinese food, I found the noodles a bit less oily and a bit spicier, which I appreciated, and the dish was only mildly sweet. I also liked the abundance of onions, though this is also because I'm not the hugest fan of bell peppers. The portion size was nice as well, with an ample amount of noodles. The Smoky Butter Chicken for $19, listed as "Tandoori chicken in silky tomato gravy. Enough said," was also very tasty, though a bit expensive, since rice isn't included (it's an extra $5.) Compared to other spots, the gravy wasn't overly sweet and had a good amount of spice. The chicken was also tender inside, though I prefer larger pieces of meat elsewhere, even if it's a bit less tender. Aside from the price point, this was tasty and would work perfectly with the biryani. The Podi Masala Dosa for $14, listed as "crisp dosa with podi & potato. South Indian soul food," was also tasty. However, I found that some other spots make a crispier dosa, such as the pretty close-by but fancier Lor, without mentioning some of the southern Indian spots specializing in dosas and other similar southern Indian breakfasts. The bit of potato inside had good flavor, and the podi added a bit of heat and crunch to the outside. The coconut chutney on the side was very nice as well. The last dish was the Silver Pomfret Rava Fry for $20, which was initially $24, and was listed as "A Konkan coastal specialty. Pomfret marinated in spices, coated in semolina, and pan-fried until golden and crisp." The best part of the fish was the outside due to the spiced semolina, which added a wonderful crunch. However, the fish inside wasn't as flavorful as a similar dish at Gazab. There is also apparently a masala variant on the online menu, which I would try next time, as it would probably penetrate the fish more and be closer to the latter restaurant. This was pretty good overall. The only thing I can really complain about this place is that the service was a bit disorganized. Still, if I'm just counting the food alone and presuming that the service qualms will go away once they've been open for longer, I would heavily recommend this restaurant. I wouldn't be surprised if they eventually have long lines and are difficult to get into, just like Masalawala and other spots from the same group. Would highly recommend them, and I wish them good luck, and I will likely check out their brunch some weekend I'm empty. read more

First time attending the traditional style communal Sunday afternoon thali and still reminiscing the wonderful food and the overall experience. I had the Goat(black Maharashtrian masala) thali, and better half had Pomfret fry thali. Our veggie friend had the vegetarian thali. All the thalis carried flavor filled preparations. The entire experience was nostalgic akin to a traditional old school Maharastrian special occasion lunch "pangat". Met the entire team behind the restaurant, felt amazing & grateful seeing all the hard work and commitment these folks are putting in The kala masala goat mutton was soft juicy and its curry was pretty good. Pomfret First fry and the pomfret curry were good. Vegetarian curry and zhunka I was told were equally tasty. All 3 thalis come with perfectly made/baked "Bhakri" which is a very traditional Maharashtra bread and not at all easy to get it done right. Hats-off to the co-chef Aarti!! Also special shoutout to Sabudana fads which was soft and nicely flavored and ofcourse The "Alani" aka chicken stock soup was superb!! The experience of communal kitchen dining interacting with new ppl dining besides you is great and something hope can be done in some other NYC restaurants. My 2c unsolicited suggestions would be - instead of a large pomfret, maybe serve two smaller size pomfrets which helps in an even marination and thereby the flavors shine and standout more m. The thecha mutton can be spicier as akin to the name the thecha should deliver a punch(or maybe its tailored to the milder palettes?) In veg thalis a few appetizers like trio of kothimbir vadi, mini-batata vada, kaanda bhaji should be incorporated. Verdict - can't wait to come back for the regular service and try some of l other delicacies on their menu. Definitely and highly recommend the thali experience and the restaurant itself. read more

4.5 rounding down to 4. It was a really great spot in park slope and I'm glad there are more quality Indian restaurants opening in the area. The service was nice. I got the prawn sukka, tandoori chicken and goat biriyani and all were good. The prawn sukka stole the show read more

Pangat--what an absolutely delightful experience! A beautifully curated Maharashtrian thali served in a lovely, inviting setting. This amazing duo behind Pangat is doing a fantastic job of showcasing real Indian food, and it shows in every detail. We had booked this lunch in advance and were lucky to share the table with another lovely couple--fellow foodies like my husband and me. Between the four of us, we tried the vegetarian, mutton, and fish thalis. For those unfamiliar, a thali is a traditional Indian way of serving a complete meal--thoughtfully balanced with carbs, protein, fiber, and bursting with complementary flavors and textures. It's the kind of meal where your taste buds are dancing with joy, your stomach is satisfied, and yet your soul still wants more. They ended the meal on a sweet note with crispy jalebi and served kanda bhaji (onion fritters) that were delightfully crunchy and flavorful. Truly a gastronomical experience for any lover of authentic Indian cuisine. Bonus--it's BYOB, so we got to enjoy a drink of our choice alongside the meal. Highly recommend giving Pangat a try. It's absolutely worth the time and money--you won't be disappointed. read more

Ooh we really wanted to love Pangat. Is the food flavorful? Absolutely. If you are fans of the unapologetic foods kind of Indian Food, you are in the same territory. Our only quibbles were these 1. Service was honestly pretty haphazard when we were there. Hard to get an order in, hard to get water, worse to get the check...they just seemed overwhelmed between takeout orders and only 2-3 tables in the restaurant sat. I can't imagine how they would manage with a full restaurant. 2. They timed our meal TERRIBLY. We had one main dish for 15 minutes before they brought out the biryani. We wanted the biryani to have with the chicken. Totally annoying and ruined both dishes because the first was cold by the time the biryani arrived (duh, we were planning to have them together)...bizarre. Don't do "serve as they are ready" if you are going to spread them out by 15 minutes and when biryani was clearly intended as an accompaniment to the other dish. 3. I wanted a more extensive menu. The dishes we had were mostly good (don't get the Vada Pav - it's literally a potato patty on a bun, not at all addictive as the menu suggests...kind of lamely boring and overly filling). 4. They need to be able to close the front glass. The smoking from the bar next door was SUPER annoying but the restaurant was kind of airless so they couldn't close the glass wall. Poor design choice. Overall, we liked it, but we prefer Masalawala. Better service, more variety and no lingering cigarette smoke. Please the would never make that elementary timing mistake. Would we try it again? Yes. The food was good enough to give it another go if they get the service in order. read more

Had an amazing experience at this restaurant. The food was very authentic and reminded us of the food back home. The vada pav, pomfret fry and chicken koliwada are MUST TRY items. Service was really good and everything came out pretty quickly. The management and staff are very welcoming and courteous. It's also a very child friendly restaurant since our almost 1 year old loved the mini uttapams. Highly recommend. read more

I was sad Curry Mee closed but tried this place recently - and OH MY GOSH it's so delicious!! We got the SDPD, a mashed vegetable dish that I can't remember the name of, the butter chicken, and the paratha. Everything was so delicious, but the mashed butter veggie dish we got was so standout. And the paratha was exactly what I hope my paratha will be when I order it as restaurants (buttery, flakey, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside). Everything had such a depth of flavor, perfect spice level (though I do like spicy food). Service was great too, the server was very friendly and explained regional/historical context of some dishes. read more

Hands down the best Indian food in Park Slope in my 20 years in the neighborhood. We went during the soft opening and the food was fantastic. We have two younger kids and the owners quickly suggested great kid-friendly options and put in a food order for them asap. We sat in the backyard patio space which was cute. The S.P.D.P chaat was crisp, fresh, and delicate. The Podi Masala dosa was airy, light, and crisp with layered and nuanced flavors. The dosa, sauces, and potato filling were a fine balance of heat, sweet, and sour. The Cauliflower Batata Bhaji was deep and complex. We also had chapatis, parathas, and rice, all of which were excellent. Prices were very reasonable considering the quality of the cooking and ingredients. It's clear that this is a true labor of love. We could also hear the tables around us raving about how great the food was! Highly recommended! read more

The food was so flavorful, and the service was exceedingly warm. I had a wonderful experience, and am looking forward to coming again. The starters and Vada Pav were so yummy, as was the Butter Chicken and Goat Biryani. Adequate spice....we were really encouraged to take our time and enjoy the experience. Highly recommend! read more

Incredible food that's different than what you would get at most Indian restaurants in the US. The people there were incredibly kind, and though there are still some things they're working out due to being new, they definitely overcompensated by giving us some free additional items and making great recommendations. Large portions for the mains and moderate spice levels. Super cute backyard and lots of seating inside and out, at least for a restaurant in park slope. They don't have their liquor license yet, so no alcoholic drinks. My fave dishes were the indochinese Szechuan noodles and the dosa read more

The food is delicious, the owners are friendly and informative, great hosts. Definitely recommend Pangat

Yum! We had a lovely dinner here last night and the food is refreshingly different and is the only place in Park Slope for Dosas!!! Service was impeccable, they were attentive, gave great advice on the menu and we were fully satisfied. We had the sprout starter which was light and zingy, Dosa for seconds...(I mean who doesn't love Dosas) and the cauliflower main was spicy but not overwhelming. Really happy this place has opened and is so different from other Indian fare in the neighborhood...check it out read more
