    palak paneer with burrata
    Anokhi M.

    Super friendly and sweet staff, they always try to get us in even when we don't have a reservation but its definitely gotten harder to walk in because its so popular. The tomato malai toast they have on the summer menu is one of my favorite toasts ever. Love the decor inside and on the patio. I've also tried the dahi puri, paneer 65, and palak paneer with burrata and all were packed with flavor and tasted excellent.

    Vada pav
    Shubhi M.

    Amazing food! And beautiful, beautiful ambiance with a cute little mini store on the side with great Indian food finds. Staff was also friendly. Vada pav - Great flavors, huge patty and appreciated it wasn't super deep fried. Bread was soft and fluffy Chili cheese toast - can never go wrong with this, buttery and fluffy Bombay toastie - star of the show, a must try! Fantastic flavors

    Pani Puri

    Vada pav - definitely the best thing I had. The bread was fluffy, the vada was full of delicious spices and hearty potatoes, and there was nice heat from the dry chutney and roasted chili pepper. Pani puri - not bad, but not remarkable either. I think I could've used a bit more heat. Palak burrata - kind of disappointing. Paying homage to the Italian heritage of the neighborhood is a cute idea, but I think burrata is the wrong cheese for the dish. The gravy was super buttery already, and the cream from the burrata made that go overboard. I also caught an unpleasant bitter note, likely from burned garlic stacking with fenugreek. It's also super overpriced at $26. On the plus side, the roti was pretty much perfect. The bill came to $66 with tax and tip, which is really expensive. I'd maybe go again for the snacks, but the mains were sort of a miss for me.

    While homely items like chili cheese toast are on the menu, the vibe at this beautiful new Cobble Hill eatery is more Bandra West than Bombay meri jaan. Sipping on natty wines in the lush backyard cafe, you can taste specialties from the city of dreams the way they're enjoyed in the cafés of Kala Ghoda. The best items were the Bombay sandwich and the dahi puri. Paneer bhurji is not a traditional ingredient in Bombay sandwiches, but it really made this sandwich shine. The dahi puri was plated in little tartlettes rather than traditional puris, which was a fun touch. I only take issue with the Vada pav, which had good flavor but had not a single bit of crisp to it. I have noted this issue with a number of restaurants serving this in the states, as they probably don't find it worthwhile to deep fry the vadas freshly as they're ordered.

    Today was my first time at Tera Mera but I can confidently say I'll be back a million times ....the most authentic and home made flavors in every dish.. I can't get begin to descrive how every bite brought back memories of Bombay. The decor is classy and elegant, staff is super friendly and the chef... sorry "cook" Shalini!!! She was the finishing touch on an outstanding experience ... her warmth and banter made it such a personal and bonding with her over being Bombayites was special. Can't wait to also visit when it's warmer to enjoy the beautiful outdoor setup. My go to place for Indian food in the neighborhood. 10 stars all the way !!

    From the folks behind Taza Mkt in Industry City is the newly opened Tera Mera, an Indian snack bar in Cobble Hill. They have a selection of Indian treats on the wall ranging from some cooking items and spices to to pickles/achaar to chutneys and other snacks both from India as well as Indian American goods. They're currently open from 12:00 to 6:00 but they're going to be adding more options for dinner soon so expect them to be open later soon enough. They have a comfortable front along with a nice backyard which is similar to the coffee house/bar Saturn Road next door. Along with some food, they have coffee and tea with some specialty drinks such as a Gulab Jamun Shaken Espresso along with a small selection of alcohol which will grow as they add more things with there being currently Kingfisher and some wines. The staff here is friendly. For food, I was here earlier and I got a Classic Bombay Toastie for $15 + tax listed as a toasted sandwich with beets, vegetables, and cheese. The sandwich was cut into four pieces and each of them was generally filled with a potato masala, beets, tomato, some other veggies, and some type of spicy chutney with the top of the toast having some sev as well as some pomegranate seeds. It was very tasty and worked as a light lunch though I think also two people could easily split this as an appetizer once their dinner options roll in. I'd go back here to try more things and I hope they do well. Rating is kept at this score for now for business.

    Really cute outdoor seating and good food! I will say, it is pretty pricey for what you get. I got the paneer burji sandwich and it was good but nothing out of the world. Nice ambiance though and worth checking out once!

    The local neighbors recommended Tera Mera to us and we walked in around noon. We were warmly greeted by Shalini and had a wonderful conversation on her journey. The place and its design speaks to you while you interact with the family pictures of Shalini's family adorning the walls. We were impressed by the masala and cardamom chai (highly recommend). The combination of the chai with a dunkable Parle-G cookie took me back in time when I was in India. We ordered Masala Omelette Roti, Classic Bombay Toastie, and Daily Kichidi. The Bombay Toasties were a delight to watch and even more delicious to bite into. The Masala Omelette Roti was a love at first bite with the combination of green and red chutney tickling my taste buds asking for more. We took the Khichdi to go because it was the coldest day of January and wanted to enjoy its savory flavors at dinner, and it didn't disappoint at all. I am writing this review while enjoying the raita Shalini packed with the Khichdi. We will be back to check out the dining menu next time!

    I was excited to try this spot and although my experience started off rocky, it quickly turned into one of the best dining experiences I've had in New York. When I first sat down, I felt overlooked as a solo diner and was on my way storming out but before I walked out, I spoke with the owner. She couldn't have been kinder. She apologized sincerely, made sure I felt welcome, and insisted dinner would be on the house. That small gesture, paired with her warmth, completely turned things around. The food itself was incredible.. so flavorful, fresh, and exactly what I'd been craving. But more than that, the hospitality reminded me of true Indian warmth and care. The owner didn't have to go out of her way for one customer on a busy Friday night, but she did, and it left a lasting impression. I walked away not only full and happy but also feeling like I'd found a place I want to return to again and again. Highly recommend for anyone who loves authentic Indian food and values genuine hospitality.

    Pani puri

    I walked by and was attracted to the design and storefront. Came by a few weeks later, the staff and owner were super welcoming and you cant tell from the front but there's a large beautiful backyard. I got the hibiscus tea (really tasty and refreshing and helps with the spiciness), pani puri (delicious and fun) and veggie momos which you could tell are fully homemade. Excited to come back and try other things including perhaps the yard.

    Fantastic food, wine, service.... And the ambiance of the backyard is totally magical. I read past reviews and I'm surprised about the comments on the service. They could not have been friendlier at dinner tonight. Highly recommend!

    Phenomenal for take out Indian food! Also the portion sizes were huge - my friend and I shared a plate and a side and we were stuffed by the end. I will be back to try other menu options when I visit industry city again!

    Dastaan Indian Kitchen - Complimentary pappadam

    Dastaan Indian Kitchen

    (14 reviews)

    Boerum Hill, Cobble Hill

    A few months ago, the longtime occupant of this space (a mediocre sushi place that we loved…read morenevertheless) shuttered, and Dastaan moved in. Since then, we've dined in, and taken out, and the food has been unfailingly delicious. If you can swing it, dining in is always the move. Unlike the aforementioned sushi joint, Dastaan has decorated to make the small space much more colorful, and infinitely more welcoming. It seems to be a family business, judging by the somewhat surly (teenage?) waitress, but she was still there for anything we needed. Plus, you'll get some complimentary papadum with homemade tamarind and green sauce. But either way, the food will be good. The naan is fresh and fluffy, the poori is delightful (this airy goodness is dine-in only, I'd imagine), the lasuni gobi starter is one of my favorite things, and the curries are all deeply rich and flavorful. We've had korma, bhuna, and saag, with seafood or chicken or paneer or lamb. We've of course had chicken tikka masala and butter chicken (I'd prefer dark meat in the latter for taste and juiciness, but I imagine I'm in the minority). All of it has been super, super tasty. One of my kids is coming around to the fact that Indian food can be amazing, the other will only eat rice and mango lassi. But Dastaan gives me hope that some day they'll crave it like I do. We're going to keep coming in, and taking out.

It was sweet, but not overly so. And actually creamy (alot of places are watery). A few chicken pieces were tougher to chew. But overall a great dish. I also had my fave: aloo gobi. It was well seasoned, but some peas and cauliflower were slightly undercooked. The garlic naan was the highlight. Perfectly prepared, right amount of seasonings and butter. Prob the best I've had delivered. Cant wait to try other things from the menu.

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!

If you suffer from claustrophobia or human phobia or are having a private intimate dinner with lots of secrets to share , I do not recommend you come to this restaurant as it's on the loud and tight quarters side.

Our waitress, seemingly oblivious to the notion of profit, warned us we were ordering too much bread before saying, "You could always bring some home," and explaining that the bread basket would consist of our choice of four different naan. More decision paralysis! We picked plain, garlic, onion, and peshwari naan. The eggplant was good, breaded and fried and served with cilantro and tamarind chutneys. Our entrees came out soon after we finished. My girlfriend enjoyed her chicken, and my lamb was tender and spicy without being overwhelmingly so. Each entree was accompanied by a portion of basmati jeera, and the rice was perfectly cooked. The naan were all good, and my girlfriend and I both agreed the peshwari naan was the winner of the pack. The sweet, nutty bread complimented and contrasted the spicy curry of my lamb vindaloo, and my "best bite" was mopping up some of the sauce with it. Sure enough, we had leftovers both of our entrees and 3/4 pieces of naan (two guesses as to which got eaten on the spot), and lunch the next day was delicious. Stumbling distance from the 7 Ave F/G.
