If I could give this place 10 stars I would!!!! Aziz took my order and he is one ofthe most polite people you will ever speak to. I am learning to eat spicy food so I really appreciate that they tone down the heat level and make my orders with such care! I never really ate Indian food too many times because a lot of the restaurants gave me the hello its Indian food so of course its spicy so get over it attitude. Not this place. They truly care about customer satisfaction and went above and beyond! This is my second time ordering. This time I ordered the Shrimp Biriyani, I ordered my favorite which is the Saag Paneer with Basmati rice, the spinach Samosas, garlic Naan and cheese Naan, and last but not least something I have been dying to try for the longest, Gulab Jamun (dessert). I had tried to order the Aloo Tikya but unfortunately, they were out but, Aziz recommended another type of Aloo (potato in Hindi) appetizer and I dont remember what it was called but oh my gosh it was delicious! My 14 year old son, who HATES vegetables, really loved the batter-dipped cauliflower appetizer (sorry I forgot what it is called) along with the Kheer (rice pudding). I love learning about other cultures especially when I get to try such wonderful cuisine. Im already scanning the menu to see what I might want to order next week! This restaurant is literally a hidden diamond in East Harlem and youre missing out if you havent been here yet. Not sure about what to order? Ask for Aziz, he is always glad to help!
Great Indian food with excellent customer service. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a range from mild to spicy Indian food. Great delivery service as well. Also the price is reasonable and you get what you pay for.
This place is my go to when I crave some authentic Indian food. There were times when food wasn’t as tasty as it was the previous times. I called the restaurant and the owner made sure he supervised the order and also followed up with me on my order afterwards. Doesn’t disappoint at all and the portions are good size & worth it. You’ll get your food delivered in under 45mins. Good service and Good food
Ordered paneer katti roll and pav Bhaji.Pav was stale and microwaved, the paneer in the Katti roll seemed old and was kinda sour.The manager had a bit of an attitude and the food was not worth the 17$. Haha the place was a bit dirty too. Regret going there. You live and you learn
Very good, full and full of aroma rather than chilli. I have tried three things and all are awesome epsecially Chane and Tikka Masala. Saag paneer was so delicius which i never found anywhere else. I would recommend try to Chane which you will never find anywhere else. Very nice and decent staff.
I found this place by way of My in laws and haven’t stopped ordering form here since 2010 the food is epic consistent and always delicious. The butter chx is to die!!!
Horrible food. Guys dont know what samba is. They made it like a north indian potato curry with some tamarind.
Mis advertising. I have been eating lunches there since they opened. Tonight I wanted to take food and they wanted to charge much more. They misrepresent the price on the add inside the restaurant and did treat me as stupid and as a person that cannot read the add.They mis advertised the price of the box . They only wrote $10 for the box of food no time limit was indicated.The owner is very irrational and cheap.I will never go back after almost 4 years of eating there and helped the owner with expanding his business, by giving flyers of the new restaurant to my fellow workers in the hospital where I work. The owner raised his voice and stated You dont know how to read the sign. What do you have in your brain? His cook tried to calm him down but he did not acknowledge his mistaken and misleading sign.
Excellent Lunch Buffet. Lots of choices (Indian, Jamaican, American dishes). Great Indian food in the neighborhood. Cheaper than the new branch that opened on 97th street. Friendly owner committed to making your food experience positive.
I love Indian food -- I ordered from here randomly to try different restaurants. In all honesty the only thing that was edible were the vegetable samosas. Chicken Tikka Masala tasted a week old, the naan was extremely chewy and clearly not fresh. To say it was a disappointing experience would be an understatement. I reached out to them about my feedback and no response.
The manager had very poor customer service as Im ordering through the website and the lunch-box clearly states veggie samosas comes with the lamb/goat lunch box and hes arguing with me on the phone stating it was an error on the website and he wont grant the samosas. All of this over samosas and asked it can be delivered after 4 hours. Worst experience as delivery, food is bland, Very non-professional and irrational customer service. His name is supposedly John(Manager)
With such amazing indian culinary, how they can hold the bufet so dirty, seems like they don’t realize what a halal means. From workers to trash can is so dirty... How they passed any sanitary inspection? I’m a big fan of indian food but this place just awful. Dirtyyyyy!!!!
Only giving 5 stars because the food is great. However, attitudes suck when it comes to delivery. Theyll ask for your number then according to who you are theyll tell you they dont deliver. What they quietly do not know is that i also frequent there in person. You cannot blame the customer and lie and say you do not deliver, when you guys kept getting the order wrong, its your fault your delivery guy had to come back more than once. Whoever answers the phone there gets frustrated very quickly, no patience at all. Cannot blame a good paying customer for your mistakes. The food is work 5 stars, but the attitudes for delivery made me only give 2 stars
Great little Indian take out buffet. Food is flavorful and delicious, I would definitely come back again and again. Is it the best out there? Definitely the best in the local neighborhood but it wont be winning any awards soon.In terms of the place, there is a small place for sitting and eating if you must but its a carry out place.
I love this place! I always take out and order the goan shrimp its so great I cant bring myself to try anything else!!! One of the most memorable experiences was my second try, about a year ago ( and yes its still yummy, Im just a procrastinator.) The gentleman who picked up happened to be the chef and suggested I try the extra large shrimp instead of the standard size. He kindly requested I call back afterwards to share if I liked it, or even if I didnt. Well I forgot to call that night, but wanted to oblige him, so the next day I called back to tell him how much I loved the upgrade, to my shock not only did he remember my voice,he remembered my name! Whoa now thats customer service with a side of hospitality! such a rare gift this day in age!!!Every single time I order its great,I even love the cauliflower appetizer,forgive me but I forget the name. My added confirmation was going to other Indian restaurants and ordering goan..... whatever and the flavor and taste never lives up. Try them,such a gem!
They served us spoiled food. When informed about the Sambar which had long gone down south... The person on the counter asked his employee to taste it and says its good, only to take it off the buffet while we were still there. Would not recommend this place to anyone.
Very good.I ordered the Bawarchi special combo: one appetizer and an entreé. I are my Lakota, I was too full to eat the entree.Mildly spiced (my request) but just a kick of heat.I will order again. The delivery was fast, Im on the Westside and the restaurant is on the East side, my food was still hot upon arrival. Delivery was within thirty minutes of me planning my order.
Very bad food quality.The food seems to be spoiled but they added rose water to suppress the smell.It doesn’t taste close to Indian food.Stay away.
Best food, kind staff members, always awesome atmosphere. They charge fair rates and the food quality is great. I recommend this place.
This place is a hidden gem, great food!! The owner is very friendly. Great selection for vegetarians. There are always new selections on the menu that gives you that surprise. Always Delicious.!!
Great value for money. When I ate there, a pound of a big variety of different Indian dishes, was 7 dollars. The food was very good.
I just love their food. I always get excellent service here. The place is well organised and the staff members are always nice. I highly recommend this place.
Finest place to get some food when in a rush. Their customer service is rapid, pricing is convenient, fantastic vibes. I highly recommend this spot.
The Bawarchi on Madison and 96th St. is absolutely AWFUL, both service and food. The manager or the guy I spoke with is belligerent when asked a question and is doing a dis-service to the company.
Bawarchi had bad food. It was greasy, oily, and most certainly not fresh. The next time I want Indian/Indochinese food, Im not going to Bawarchi.
This restaurant decided to cancel my order almost after an hour of placing my order.
Lesson learnt, we should never go by the name of a restaurant..Not at all a place for indian foodies.. Moreover this place really spoils the brand value of bawarchi..
Excellent food and prompt delivery .Would love to order again and again
Lunch buffet is high quality and a good value. The owner(s) is/are very friendly too.
Worst experience and never in my life tasted a worst briyani .. sorry to say!! I won’t suggest to any of my friends
Had a really good eats. Not a huge eat-out area but the food is delicious.
Dont go by name.One of the worst experiences.They Sell by weight. No washroom.Food is very bad to taste and not fresh
Most Authentic Indian Food in New York City , Reminds you of Home
Best Indian establishment in the city. Haha maybe even the best one in the whole world
Small restaurant with big flavor. The food is fresh and delicious
Best Indian food on upper east Manhattan
Food was ok.. The buffet wasnt warm and had limited options.
These guys are the best! Great price and terrific food.
Most horrible and tasteless biryani i ever ate in my life.
Delicious every time. I love this place!
The food and delivery service is great!
Zero star. Manager stand by open door smoking and samples with fingers from open buffet
Avoid if possible. They have to improve their quality significantly. I threw most of the food.
Good food, quick service.

2022-07-20A few other people here and on Yelp said they couldnt believe how greasy the food is here, so I decided to join in. I got a saag dish and lasooni gobi (cauliflower) that was swimming in oil/ghee? The cauliflower was so mushy and oily we threw it out. Potatoes in these dishes were soaked with fat. Even the rice seemed heavy/greasy. I want this restaurant to do well - the flavors were good, but I hope they begin to take it easy on the grease/oil/ghee.

2022-01-28If there is one thing you want to try in this restaurant, try the chicken biryani. I have been going there for a month now (once a week). I just want to keep going there. Amazing place and highly recommend it to anyone who is a biryani connoisseur.

2021-11-17The lunch special was amazing - super cheap and very affordable for a large portion of food. Got the chicken tikka and it came with rice, naan, and two other types of food. Couldnt even finish in one sitting and had some leftovers. Flavors were amazing! They have a buffet style if you go in to order and they had so many things to choose from! I ordered off of seamless and it was quick and easy.

2021-05-28I am a huge Indian Cuisine fan and Bawarchis simply offers great food for an amazing price. The Biryani is rivaled only by my significant others mother (whos from India) and the Garlic Naan is soft, buttery, and pairs perfectly with the other dishes. The Chicken Tikka Masala is absolutley perfect and I get it every time I dine there. I dont care where I am in the city, if I want Indian food I am going to Bawarchi.Even more, the owner is kind and a great guy. He has remembered us every time we come in to eat and we have never had a negative experience.In summary: Great owner, great prices, great food. I cant emphasize choosing Bawarchi enough.

2020-09-06Wanted to have some nice hyderabadi food. So Ordered pav bhaji, lamb shahanshahi Biryani here- i am not at all happy with the food, In Pav Bhaji - Bhaji was smelling bad and was having too sour taste. Looks like its couple days old food. And biryani taste was also worst. Sorry but i would never order anything from here anymore , neither i would recommend anyone. If they serve this kinda food in this pandamic its dangerous for health. When i complained them Re food. They tried to offer me free food . I would never accept even a free food from this location. Sorry guys My experience is not at all good.
