    Amazing meal with the most attentive servers at Sathi this past week. We managed to snag a last minute res around 7. Recommend ordering from their pre-fix menu, which comes with a appetizer, entree, and side/dessert. We opted for the pre-fix menu with an additional order of garlic naan and jhol momos. Started off with a piece of lamb samosa - super flaky and plenty of filling. Chicken tikka masala didn't look like a lot of food, but trust me there's a lot of protein. I ordered the mango lassi which wasn't too sweet or thick. Please try their jhol momos! It was served in a light broth that was so flavorful. Broth had a strong tomato and umami flavor, and lamb was very well seasoned. None of the food we ordered was crazy spicy - if you want an extra kick try the vindaloo.

    Friends and I were looking for an inexpensive spot that serves quality Indian food near the union square area and we found Sathi. So happy we came here because for less than $20 per person we managed to get some of the best Indian food! We started with the dinner special and got a chicken biryani extra spicy and it was so good. They also serve papad and kept refilling it for us! The chicken tikka masala was also really good but the biryani was so delicious. Our waiter was incredibly kind and brought us rasmalai on the house. I'll definitely be coming back here.

    Four star food, five star service. This has been on my list and I'm so glad I could eat here. We got the vegetable curry and chili mushroom entrées. The chili mushroom was truly fantastic. The sauce over the mushroom is to die for and such a delicious spice. I'm salivating as I'm writing this right now. The vegetable curry had a lot of good greens in that are healthy. Not very saucy though, as far as curry goes. We got this cheese, chickpea appetizer that our server recommended. It truly taste like Mexican salad, but it's Indian. And so much better. It was delicious. I will be thinking thinking of this one. Reis was good. Complementary bread with sauces. The service is amazing. Extremely kind people. They are always on top of filling up your waters. And then when we left to go, they threw in a complementary rice pudding which I had the next day and it was so so tasty. Thank you so much for being so generous.

    Chicken Tikka Masala, Garlic Naan

    Sathi was delicious! We made a reservation through yelp & were immediately seated upon arrival. They give you a delicious thin cracker with dips to start before ordering. After splitting chicken& vegetable samosas with my husband, I ordered the chicken tikka masala with garlic naan (my go-to Indian order) & it was delightful! It ends up being a lot of food (and I'm a big eater) so I had some leftovers for the next day. I ordered through a "select one" type of offer on the menu that included an app, entree, and side... great value! The restaurant was comfortable & had booth seating on one side of most of the tables opposite chairs. Cozy!

    The dinner prix-fixe is perfect. Went on a Saturday night a bit earlier and it was easy to get a table, decided on the chicken biryani, naan, and samosa for 28.99. Wonderful deal as my biryani portion was HUGE and I had leftover naan. My sister opted for the butter chicken and upgraded her naan to garlic naan. Very good food for sure

    Garlic Naan
    Helen X.

    Great indian food in the area, and reasonably priced! I'd definitely recommend the garlic naan, it was very yummy! The paneer was also a hit, would order that again. Butter chicken was good, but I would try something else next time. I would overall recommend this place for anyone looking for indian food! The restaurant was mostly empty on a weeknight, which was nice! There was no wait. I noticed a lot of people doing takeout orders, must be a popular place!

    Lamb Samosa
    Fuang C.

    Overall: 4.5 stars Found another Indian place with an all day prix fix menu! I'm a sucker lately for prix fix menus but this one allowed you to pick a side or a dessert so I liked that option. The price went up from the menu I saw 3 months ago and from the website. It's now $25.95 for appetizer, entree, and a side or dessert. Still a good value, it saves a few dollars compared to ordering off the regular menu. I'll say you can skip the prix fix and get the regular menu if you don't really want the three course. It ended up being a good amount of food. Service was really good. They refilled our water frequently and asked us how we were doing. It also wasn't busy so we didn't feel rushed at all. They also started us off with a complimentary dish which I don't know the name of. It was like a lightly fried large chip with two different dips (a spicy green sauce and a sweet tamarind sauce). Personally, I loved the sweet tamarind sauce. They were even better mixed together. We got the vegetable and lamb samosa. The samosa skin was a little thick and more doughy than we liked but still good. The vegetable one was better than the lamb. The lamb had a very gamey flavor that I didn't really enjoy. The entree we got the chicken korma and the butter chicken. The chicken korma was delicious and creamy. The butter chicken was just alright to me, the tomato flavor is strong. The chicken though was pretty dry for both dishes but more noticeably the butter chicken. We also got the plain naan as a side and it was huge! It was cut into four pieces which I liked, it wasn't too bready and was a little crispy. My friend really enjoyed the naan. Personally, I thought the naan was okay, not amazing but not bad either. They almost forgot my kheer but ended up giving another kheer for my friend on the house. I thought that was very nice of them. The kheer was very flavorful and I would say that flavor wise, it was more unique compared to the other kheer I've had. I liked the little pieces of fruit(?) seemed like some sort of berry. Overall: The service and ambiance were great. They played this relaxing music that at first I thought was out of place but I really grown to enjoy it. The chicken korma definitely is a highlight as well as their sweet tamarind sauce.

    Came here on a Saturday night which I found after doing research for Indian food. Read the reviews and saw pictures and def wanted to try this spot out. Complementary chip with dips was served and it was really light and crispy. For appetizer, started with chicken samosa which was part of the prefix combo ($25.90) and was solid. Got the tandoori chicken tikka ($18.95) which was really tasty and flavorful. My friend got the chicken tikka masala and it was so good. Everything was great, except for one slight discomfort. Since it was cold out, anytime someone walked through the entrance, the place got really cold. My friend had to eat with a jacket on. Other than that, place is bomb. I would definitely come back and I highly recommend this place if you're in the mood for really good Indian food.

    Came here for dinner on a Saturday and we were not disappointed! Great food, fantastic service, and reasonable prices. For their all-day pre-fixe you get an app, a side, and an entree and they do not go light on the portions! I was able to have enough for dinner and lunch the next day! The food also hits the spot, nothing out of the ordinary but that's not a bad thing. This place has fantastic indian food and I will definitely be back :)

    Butter Chicken
    Christina N.

    We came here for a meal before a show at Gramercy Theatre and it was great! There's seating for about 20 people inside, with an area for outside seating as well. It got full while we were there, but not a line out the door. The servers were nice and very attentive (our water cups were never empty). The prix-fix menu is a great deal and extremely filling. They give you a starter at the beginning of the meal with two dips. It's like a big chip, the green dip was spicy, and the dark brown dip tasted like tamarind. For my appetizer, I ordered the pakora which I had never had before. I have no basis for authenticity, but it tasted great! It added a textural difference to my meal since it was crunchy. While not stated on the menu, the prix-fix appetizer is a half-serving so this came with 4 pieces of pakora. For my entree, I got the butter chicken, which comes with rice. It was great and came with lots of chicken. Lastly, I decided to get a side of naan. There's not much to say about that, but it was much larger than I expected. This is the perfect place to come if you're craving Indian food!

    heard a lot of good things about sathi but wasnt impressed when I came. got the lunch special curry shrimp with saag paneer and an extra garlic naan. i also got to try the chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, chicken korma, lamb vindaloo since I was sharing with a large group. everything was good but nothing stood out as something id remember a week later. the naan is also on the crisper side but i think i prefer mine doughy. service was great but it was a smaller space than expected.

Definitely a bit on the spicier side but incredible flavor, beef all cooked well, great presentation on the skillet, so worth it. - Makai Lamb - the lamb itself was incredible; imagine a giant lamb bone with meat falling off into a thin soup-like sauce. The sauce was delicate in flavor, allowing the lamb to really shine and it was delicious. So filling too, a ton of food. Only weird thing, the two chunks of corn cobs felt out of place. Will definitely return, delicious and best done with more people to try more dishes.

And the ambiance is at the corner area of Essex Street Market tucked away with its own convenient toilet. The crab with garlic was served with Indian rice. The Tika was perfectly done and their Indian bread which very thin went with it and the eggplant dishes that they cooked Jndian style - must also order. We had the goat dish which was also delicious. They gave us green chutney and fresh sliced red onion as well So overall it was a positive experience.

For the main, we were really looking forward to having the rose petals and paneer kofta which was spoken so highly about but unfortunately was taken off the menu. Instead we got the lasooni palak paneer which was so yummy and the flavors were just right. Additionally, we got the daal which was great, but not at all spicy so I do wish it had a bit more of a "kick" to it but that's my personal preference. Everything was delicious and will definitely be back, hopefully they bring back the rose petals and paneer kofta dish!! There's a good amount of seating inside and the decorations are great, but I would definitely reccomend a reservation as they get very busy quickly (especially on the weekend)
