Friendly service and a lovely ambiance top it all off. Highly recommended!

We arrived here at 7pm it wasn't too crowded and we found parking in the parking lot. We asked…read morebefore hand if we could make reservations but they said it was first come first serve. When we sat down it was kind of annoying because the sun was in our eyes from the window. They offered to move our seats, but the other table also was in the sunlight. We ordered a chicken kebab as an appetizer and got the mix grilled plate as an entree and goat Karahi. The mix grill plate was huge and came with like 5 different types of meat dishes cooked various ways of chicken and lamb. My favorite thing from the grill platter was the green chicken and the red chicken. It comes with tomatoes, and red onions as well. The goat karahi was good too the sauce was very flavorful and went well with the garlic nann. We also got a mango lassi, we found out half way through our meal that they forgot it and when we got our bill they charged us for 2 so they gave us a cash refund. Overall it was a nice place lots of families were there with their kids.

It's a small restaurant and seats are limited if it gets crowded. You go to the server and order the food and they bring it to your table after. Staff are very friendly and helpful and will guide you through to get the best experience. Food was amazing. We've gotten different varieties of food including desert. Gol Gappa / Pani Puri - a small fried doughball with filling inside (potato chickpeas onions etc ) and you fill it with spiced water. Its like a flavorbomb and i can keep eating it all day. They have 6 options of spiced water and my fav was the mango and lime. Very authentic 10/10 Daap Makhani - daal makhani was amazing!! One of my favs in general. It was flavorful, creamy, great in portion! 10/10 Roomali Roti - a Roti thats very thin, can be folded like a roomal ( handkerchief ) hence the name. 8/10. Handi Pizza - lots of flavor, pic given in the review. It was a different experience and i liked it a lot! Its cheesy, full of sauce. 8/10 Chaap Rogan Josh - very flavorful and spicy. But the other items were just so much better that this felt underwhelming to me. 7/10 Mohanthal Halwa - it was soo good!!! Not too sweet and not too bland. It was perfect. You need to this try specially when its hot 9/10.

We've been regular customers for a while because the chicken is consistently good, but after this…read moreexperience, we won't be returning. Our group ordered several chicken combos, which include refillable sides (rice, salad, French fries, and vegetables), while the chicken itself is not refillable. From the start, the service was disorganized. We had multiple servers, yet they repeatedly forgot items. Some people in our group waited a long time for their vegetables, while others had to ask multiple times before receiving their French fries. It honestly felt as though the staff was doing everything possible to avoid bringing guests everything that was included with the meal. My husband and I requested one refill of rice. Since we didn't finish it, we simply asked for the remaining rice we had already been served to be packed to go. The server took the plate but never returned with it in a to-go container. When we asked about it, another server accused us of trying to get an extra refill, claiming we had already reached the refill limit. We explained several times that we were not asking for another refill we only wanted the rice we had already been served packed to go. Despite that, he continued insisting we were trying to get more than we were entitled to. What made the situation even worse was his dismissive response of "whatever" after we tried to explain the misunderstanding. Being treated as though we were trying to take advantage of the restaurant was frustrating and completely unacceptable. Unfortunately, this wasn't completely out of character. Most of the servers have consistently come across as rude during our previous visits. The owner, on the other hand, has always been friendly and does a good job connecting with customers. However, this time he was only a few feet away, appeared aware of what was happening, and never stepped in to address the situation or make things right. Allowing staff to treat customers this way reflects poorly on the restaurant. My advice to anyone dining here is to pay close attention to the sides that come with your meal and make sure you receive everything you're entitled to. We left feeling that the restaurant advertises refillable sides but does everything possible to delay or limit them, only to accuse customers of asking for more than they're entitled to. After years of overlooking the rude service because we enjoyed the food, this experience was the final straw. The way we were treated guaranteed that we will never return.

I felt like Hercules after - great food, real food, quality fare, energizing, filling and so tasty. The 6 of us ordered a ton I mean a mega ton of food! The garlic shrimp was to die for.

Color me not impressed at all…read more I was in Hot Breads in Hicksville in mid-July to pick up two birthday cakes for my nephew's birthday party. In addition to being a bakery, Hot Breads also markets itself as an indo-Chinese cafe. Knowing we would be several hours early to a birthday party, we had some of the menu offerings. Samosa and samosa chaat were great, but then again it's kind of hard to mess those up. Everything else we ordered was entirely inedible due to the obscene amount of chili that went into the meal. My dining buddies seemed unbothered by the chili so it's good that not a lot of the food went to waste, but some notice of spice (or option to not have the spice) would have been nice. On to the cakes, we ordered two sugar-free cakes due to my brother in law being diabetic. The cakes were light and fluffy and sweet, and I had no idea they were actually sugar free. These cakes get Hot Bread an extra star. The cakes were personalized. I would assume (and, spoiler alert, I'm clearly wrong) that an Indian bakery owner and operated by Indian people would be able to spell an Indian name correctly. Especially when my nephew's name is only two letters long and therefore easy to spell. They spelled it wrong.

The service was excellent, the food delectable and the portions worthy of heavy Long Island eaters. We left with plenty of left overs to nosh on, well into the next day or two. Our winners were the Manchurian cauliflower, chicken tikka masala, chicken biryani, mixed grill platter and the lamb chops. Honestly everything was delicious, freshly prepared and really well seasoned. We did get a seafood soup that was a touch too salty, and a Kulfi dessert that was a little on the super sweet side. We have definitely had better naan's, that is probably the only item I would refrain from ordering here or at least ordering only the garlic naan as that was pretty good. They were also generous enough to comp the soup that was not to my mother's taste and offered us comps on all desserts which was so nice of them to do. Overall a definite 5/5 and we might just comeback here for all our Diwali meals henceforth. The restaurant area is very small, however there is outside seating during warmer months. This place is primarily a catering hall, so the focus/space is clearly on that aspect of the business.
