This is a takeout review, I came across it on Yelp and wanted to try it, and was glad I did. It was quite busy on the Sunday afternoon and gave cozy vibes. The flavors are balanced and tasted home cooked instead of overwhelming, which was really nice. The aloo gobi is my usual go to order at other restaurants and I really enjoyed it here. It was fresh with soft flavorful potatoes, perfectly paired with the rice. The lamb was hot and fall-off the bone tender. We dipped the smoky paneer in the lamb madras and thought it was perfect. There was a lot of food and we even had some left overs for another meal. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area. read more

I love India food in general and I thought I've gone to many this far but this place had many menu items I had never seen before. And they all exceeded my expectations, opened my mind to trying new things more. The highlight of the meal was the Murgh Shakootee. GET IT. TRUST ME it's SO GOOD. The juicy chicken in this very well balanced spice with a hit of coconut in the sauce, I couldn't believe had never had this before. I also got the Goat Biryanis, which came with the perfect presentation and beautiful flavor of the meat, which often lacks when cooked separately from the rice, but not this place. It is a very clean and beautiful restaurant with nice music in the back (not loud at all). And the staff was very helpful and nice. He made sure that he got our order correct multiple times and helped us decide which naan to get or if the food seemed enough. I need to con back again to try other things on the menu that looked very appetizing. read more

Fan-freakin-tastic!! I referee the paneer tikka masala lunch buffet, and it exceeded expectations! Served piping hot, fresh, and brimming with flavor and spice, my only regret was not having more room in my belly! The naan was fluffy, fresh, buttery, and oh so good! The paneer consisted of thick pieces that were so soft and delicious! The dal (lentils) was amazing! I would highly recommend and suggest you get yourself over here! I could eat their food every day forever! read more

Got my usual as always, palak paneer, and this one was pretty good. Usually the ones fully blended smooth I know are gonna hit the spot. This one had a great heat to it and the pieces of paneer were pretty large. Garlic naan was large and fluffy which I appreciate but pretty steep price ($7!) for just bread. read more

Wonderful service and even tastier food. We attempted to go to one of our favorite restaurants just a few doors away from Sahib, but experienced difficulties getting seated and served. Not to worry because Sahib was more than welcoming and our food here was fabulous. The Mixed grill platter was one of our favorite dishes that we had at Sahib and it gives you a nice variety of all the various items that they have their tandoori treats. And of course we couldn't have our platter without having wonderful garlic naan bread. And we also had to have Mixed Vegetable Pakora and Samosas. We didn't have "cutting-edge" smash-up Indian food, but what we had was delicious! read more

Yelp steered us towards Sahib in Curry Hill, and it was really a smash hit. We visited back in December and had a fantastic dinner. The appetizer of the paneer ke sooley ($13.49) was a splendid way to start the meal. Smoked paneer cheese? Sign me up. The lamb rogan josh ($21.95) and the chicken bhuna ($18.95) were full of flavor and were hearty and warmed us up on a freezing night. Sahib offers a zillion options and therefore definitely should have dishes that float your boat. The decor was on the minimal side but very classy. The service was also as stellar as the food. It's not all that often that you feel like the employees actually genuinely care about your dining experience. They were attentive without hovering and made sure we were enjoying the food and the meal overall. They also didn't shoo us out even though they were about to close, oops. You can't go wrong selecting Sahib! read more

Good place at lexington ave for desi food- They have an extensive menu and service is great! Good dine in place. We tried their saag paneer and chicken. Both were good- their pani puri is decent too-Good options for vegetarian. read more

Some of the best Indian food I've had in the city. When they say spicy, it's truly spicy. You have to try the chicken 65, it was delicious. I didn't eat in, but the restaurant looks like it is a solid place to dine in. And our food was made quickly but also with care, so I'm sure the service is just as good as their food! read more

Korma is still amazing as well as the butter chicken. New thing I tried was the onion Naan, and I liked this even more than the garlic Naan here (this Naan could see more flavor). read more

My husband and I are in town for the weekend and knew we needed to get our fill of Indian food. I found this place on a list of Eater's best NYC Indian spots. We arrived around 1230pm on a Sunday. The place itself is relatively small--maybe 30 or so seats. There was plenty of space when we arrived. There are a ton of $15-16 lunch specials that come with your choice of entree (we got the lamb Rogan Josh and butter chicken). dal, rice, a dessert, an order of naan AND an order of samosas. We got everything in this photo for $35 (sans tip) and service was good. We left with full bellies, a smile and our leftover food and fresh order of naan :) read more

Everything here is good quality and affordable! Nothing on the menu is sooo crazy - like very Standard north indian fare. The apps of papdi chaat and samosa chaat were pretty fine; maybe wouldn't order it again necessarily, but passable. Mains were good and this curry was $17 and quite tasty, so I think that's exactly what you want to not break the bank on something so standard. Service was nice and very easy to get a spot even on a weekend night, so in favor of this place! read more

Sahib - Paneer Tikka Masala - Indian Near Me - New York, New York

Definitely one of my favorite Indian spots in the city. Despite all of the nearby competition, Sahib has stood out for its quality and value. I've dined in and ordered takeout from Sahib numerous times in the last few years and you can't go wrong with anything on their menu. My favorites include the saag paneer, paneer tikka masala, dal, and samosas. I often order multiple dishes just for myself because I can't decide what I want! I'm certain Sahib will be a go-to spot for years to come. read more

I don't frequently have Indian food, but I wanted to step outside of my comfort zone today by trying something new near my school. Had a Punjabi Goat Curry lunch special today with a butter naan and an order of hot Masala Tea. I ordered my combo over the phone and picked up 30 minutes later. The service was nice and food was tasty. I enjoyed the meal. I also learned that Masala Tea is different from Chai Tea, but in my view, even tastier! read more

Food (5/5) Service (5/5) Ambiance (5/5) Price (5/5) Came on a weekday during lunch and they had a really great lunch special deal. It comes with a curry, roti/naan, dessert, and appetizer (dessert and appetizer changes daily). I went with 2 friends and the appetizer and naan were combined to one plate for sharing. The staff was friendly, and the seating was decently big. No complaints. read more

We at the Punjabi Goat Curry and Rogan Josh. This place was recommended by our son who lives nearby. Everything was very good and filling!

Fantastic Indian dish options at Sahib. We sat down for dinner and were served some complimentary papadum with a tamarind and green chili sauce. I started off with masala chai. Yes, while this should be served at the end of the meal, it was a cold day. I also ordered the Mung Dal Soup. Our waiter served the soup and recommended I eat that first and to not let it get cold. He offered to reheat my chai if I couldn't get to it before it cooled off. Having spent time in South India, I'm always looking for a tasty yellow dal. This Mung Dal Soup was it. The masala chai had layers of spice with cardamom and ginger. This is made with the traditional full fat milk. As it cools, a skin forms on the top displaying the dark coloring of the spicy tea. The puri is always a fun and surprising bread. My table-mates were surprised by the size of this light and airy puff. When you break it apart the soft slightly layered bread is perfect for soaking up with saucy dishes and sweet tamarind sauce. Based on our waiter's suggestion we went with both the coconut and lemon rice. Both were fragrant and loaded with seasoning. I absolutely loved this rice and could eat it just by itself. I ordered the Mutter Paneer Methi which was creamy and rich. The whole table enjoyed this. We also had the Marchwagan goat curry. This was in a heavy rich sauce and the meat was tender. I'd recommend this if you like a heavy and sweet dish. The last bite was the Kashmiri naan. This is stuffed with a reddish pink fruit paste as well as nuts. The naan tastes like a dessert and was a perfect conclusion to our feast. Three of us had enough food for leftovers for meals the next day. I look forward to going coming back. The staff, ambiance, and food left nothing to be desired. read more

Delicious food (5*) but 3* overall for the shady and unsupported/long wait customer service. While in Curry Hill as tourists, we wanted to try a variety of Indian dishes so we decided to try an Indian buffet / AYCE. However despite several reviews on Google/ Yelp that said these places were buffet-style, they weren't so I suggest calling ahead of time to confirm if they changed their dining style recently. So we decided to stay here and dine because we were all hungry. We were sat down and got some help, however when we were ready to order, we had to wait a while and it didn't seem like they were busy as there were only two other customers. When we ordered, I expected my order of Chicken Tikka Masala to come with rice/naan when the waiter asked if I wanted that on the side so I said yes. He did not clarify that it was an extra charge so it felt a dishonest to see that show up on our receipt later. I prefer to be aware of what I'm paying for. Having hidden surprises does ruin an honest enjoyable dining experience for me. They also labeled themselves as "fine dining" however they didn't take our coats and etc. and I did not get the fine dining feel personally except that the food was spectacular. Food-wise though, everything was delicious as the texture and taste was just right. So overall, I recommend here for great authentic Indian food but be wary of their "customer service" and advocate for yourself. read more

Head on down to the 20s and Lexington Ave for a taste of culinary heaven! With so many options to choose from, it's easy to feel overwhelmed, but fear not--each restaurant on this vibrant street offers a unique and delicious experience. Whether you're craving the bold spices of North Indian cuisine or the comforting flavors of the South, you'll find something to satisfy your taste buds. So, I recently stopped by Sahib and let me tell you, the Dahi Aloo Tikki stole the show. And even though the Pani Puri portion was a VERY small for the price ($9 for 6 Pani Puris ) I enjoyed every bit of it as I hadn't eaten it in so long. I took a friend along for her first street food experience, and she was hooked. We got the Paneer Lababdar for main course, and it struck the perfect balance between sweet and savory. Best part? It didn't break the bank! Less than $30 per person for a feast. read more

Honestly, I don't have much to say other than this is Indian food executed really well. The lasoni gobi and kadai paneer were the highlights for me. At first glance, I thought the lasoni gobi was the same thing as gobi manchurian. It was actually a completely different texture and flavor profile. Still delicious. The ras malai and garlic naan were your standard ras malai and garlic naan, not exceptional but tasty nonetheless. read more

10/10 food. I went to Sahib for my birthday because I was craving Indian food and their chole batura was great. Came back with my friends and the gol gappe and aloo chaat were also great. Amazing service and food - tastes just like home. read more

This is for the takeout only. We are always looking for a solid indian takeout and we thought with Sahib's positive Yelp reviews this might be it. We tried 4 different entrees and they were all disappointing. The quality of the ingredients was just poor, especially the meats. read more

I am constantly on the search for a good Indian restaurant in NYC. I ordered delivery from Sahib for the first time recently and was pleasantly surprised with the aroma and flavor of the dishes. The paneer tikka masala and malai kofta were unlike others I've tried in the city in a good way. I'm always curious when I see different types of naans on a menu so decided to give both the onion chili naan and jalapeno cheese one a try. Though the naans were good I wish they arrived hotter to complement the dishes better. Each had a kick to it so just a heads up if pairing with a spicy dish. I have not dined in yet but hopefully will soon! Note: 10% off online orders on their website :) read more

Sahib - Paneer Tikka Masala + Malai Kofta - Indian Near Me - New York, New York

Another great Curry Hill spot. We Kips Bay residents are really spoiled! When your mouth is on fire and your first instinct is to thank the chef for it, you know you've ordered well. The chilies in the murgh shakootee (chicken with roasted chilies, ginger and garlic paste, poppy seeds, spices, and coconut sauce) are palpable but pleasant, and the spice blend is addictive -- the cinnamon in particular really comes through. The chicken is juicy and tender. I didn't love the daab chingri (prawns in coconut sauce, green chilis, ginger juice, curry leaves, and mustard seed) quite as much. Overall, the curry was a bit too salty for my liking. My dining companion liked it, though. The garlic naan was excellent: buttery with just the right amount of crispness. It was so good I felt like eating it without any curry to dilute its delicate flavors. We enjoyed the complementary chapati, served with the standard tamarind and green chutneys. Note that the curries do not come with rice; be prepared to order it separately. read more

GO FOR LUNCH SPECIAL. When you go for lunch, get a lunch special! This comes with a smaller entree portion but also comes with rice, naan, and a side of dal (lentils). All for just $14-15! We were in a big group and some of us did regular entrees and some did lunch specials. The matar paneer (cheese and peas in a thick sauce) is great, but I do wish they gave more paneer. Their achari bhindi (dry fried okra with onions and peppers) is also really good, however I do think they use too many bell peppers which makes this dish pretty bitter. I would definitely ask for less or no bell peppers. The garlic naan is decent - nothing to be amazed at. And the rice is also good - we'll seasoned and simple. If I was to come here again, like I mentioned at the very beginning, I would get the lunch special! read more

found out about this spot from erica ha--she's always hyping it up whenever she having indian food in her vlogs. i got influenced hard and dragged my friends here after school. the vibe is super chill, and i loved the ambiance. it was just us there that day, so i was a little skeptical if the food was actually that good. but, the staff? sooo friendly and accommodating, they even drew little hearts on our food (as u can see)! we went with the staff's recs for an appetizer and got the chicken tikka masala with garlic naan. i swear, it's the BEST chicken tikka masala i've ever had. i'm not exaggerating at all. like i can't even describe the flavors--it's just hella crazy good + the garlic naan was so buttery and garlicky, it was way better paired with the dish than rice. yesterday, i was craving tikka masala and ordered from a spot near school, but it was nowhere close. once you've eaten here at sahib, your standards will be high. this is hands down my fave restaurant, and i'm still trying to get my fam to come with me :')) a 5-star rating doesn't even do it justice ‍ read more

We live in Chelsea and do not have a lot of Indian restaurants nearby so we decided to give Sahib a try. The food was fine. Ordered the paneer, tikka masala, lamb korma, and naan. Naan needed some salt. Masala and korma had nice flavor. Korma was spicy, which we like. Paneer was a little bland but texture was lovely. Upside was that the delivery service was fast which bumped them to a 4 star rating. read more

Really tasty food. I ordered delivery and the food arrived very quickly, was packaged well and was still hot. I got the choke bhature which is a fried Indian bread with a chickpea curry. The bread was thick, soft and fluffy and the curry was on point. Will be trying more things from their menu in the future. read more

This place maybe doesn't have as classy an interior design or plating as Pippali next door, but the food is just as good if not even better. In fact the Lasuni Gobi (Indo-Chinese cauliflower dish) was done better here than at the other Curry Hill places I've checked out. There was also a very good variety of breads and curries. I loved the Punjabi chicken especially! I'd say the only thing that slightly holds this place back is that it seems to be more focused on lunch buffet. The sit down scene was very empty, and hence a little awkward as there were like 4 people in total sitting in a rather large interior. Perhaps that is due to this place not having enough recognition for how good the food is, so I'll do my part to help by giving it 5 stars. read more

Good Indian food but not the best! Dhaba which is another Indian restaurant on Murray (Curry) Hill right beside it takes the cake over this one. The service is great and food is fresh but the intensity of flavors a little subdued to possibly cater to a milder- palette. Everything we ordered was pretty ordinary however their Aloo Tikki Chaat was a tad-bit over-salted and less crispy than I'd like for it to be. Loved the complimentary Shot of Yellow Lentils they served which is otherwise most often served as a staple side dish or curry substitute in many Indian, Middle Eastern and African households. Liked Sahib but not loved it and because I am Indian myself so this could be me being overly critical about this spot with respect to the toned down flavors. All in all, it's a decent spot but I've just ended up finding a lot better. read more
