Ordered fish over rice for lunch at 12:13 noon. They promised delivery between 12:55 and 1:05, however, the food was delivered at 1:40. This is after repeated calls with seamless and they refused to give any discount for inconvenience. The texture of the fish is like its been dead for at-least 5 years. Rice is undercooked. Never ordering from here again
I used to work a few blocks away. I still dream of this place. 5/5 some of the best indian food. Googles definition says no fuss and thats one of my favorite things about it. Get in, get awesome food, and go on with your life. Then of course go back the next day and get it again.
One of my favorite Indian-food lunch places in the midtown area. Friendly staff, tasty food, clean space and large portions. Delicious vegetarian and vegan food options as well!
Came here for the lunch special today, its about $9 for one meat and $10.50 if you get two meats. Pretty good prices for ethnic food in Midtown.I got the curry goat and the chicken Tikka Masala. This came with rice and some sort of Indian bread. The food was decent. I think it did lack in the spice/flavor department In comparison to other Indian places Ive been to (Like PANNA II). I wouldnt call it bland but its definitely not as bold as I expect from Indian cuisine. The tikka masala was better than the lamb. I would order that again but would opt to try something else over the lamb.I think 3.5 stars is appropriate. In comparison to the better Indian places Ive eaten at recently this is place falls short flavor wise. But when comparing it to the lunch options in the area, especially the ones with lunch specials, its actually great food for the money. Ill be back to explore more of the menu, I could see this place fitting Into my lunch rotation. I would much rather spend my $10 here than at chipotle.
*** THANK YOU BOSS ***The cashier constantly called me “boss.” “He asked me, “What would you like boss?” The food looked like it was not fresh. I even had to beg for them to give me the baked bread that comes with the meal. Don’t waste your time with this boss man. Never again!
I got delivery through seamless. Order was correct and on time, except that I asked for medium spicy, and the food was so spicy I couldnt actually taste it. Its been a hour and Im still burning. Also, totally mediocre gulab jamin. Disappointed.
Good food, quite tasty. Just seemed a bit pricey for a fast food joint. I had the lamb and chicken vindaloo. But the variety of dishes and the taste is fantastic!
We ate here several times, food was very good, similar to a Balti restaurant in Birmingham.Recommend the biryani & the Chicken curry.Wont win any awards for the decor.
Pretty tasty & not too expensive. $10 for a filling portion of vegetables, rice & a big, tasty serving of naan in a part of Manhattan where I assume a monthly commercial lease payment is $1 Billion.
I should have known cheap Indian food would not taste good.I ordered Fish Saag, Vegetable Samosas and Naan bread. Id like to think I know good tasting Indian food, my mother bought a lot while I grew up.I knew the Fish Saag would be a disappointment when they put it in the bag -- it was entirely too green, where as good Saag would be a bit more brown from the different herbs and spices added to it.I was dead-on. I couldnt find an onion or a tomato in the Saag. It was sub-par; I could have made better following a recipe at my home. And the fish tasted off.The vegetable samosas had no vegetable -- only potato. It tasted more like a knish. And the naan bread was not only burned, but it was not fluffy.I will not eat here again.
Had the palak paneer (spinach with cheese cubes) and it was definitely not fresh. The spinach smelled off and the cheese was dry and raisin-y instead of being soft and breakable. I was pretty grossed out.
Meets your expectation for deep, flavorful Indian food. Bonus, naan bread is baked almost to order and is fresh out of the oven warm.
Great food and lots of it. Very friendly staff. I had the curry chicken. Lots of flavor. Looking forward to my next visit.
Queue at kati roll company was too long. tried this place..nice food, enough space to sit, nice owner. Cheaper too but no compromise in quality
Its cheap, but food not very good. If you ever went to real Indian restaurant, youll be disappointed. Naan was good as was mango lasi. But Chiken Tika Masala was yucky.
Decent Indian food , staff is polite, kind of okay neat place . Rated 3 as you can better tasting Indian food at other places
Reasonable food for a reasonable price. Not cozy but for a quick lunch. They charge more for chicken marsala than just chicken, so pay attention what you order.
Good food portion. Quick easy and affordable starting 8.50. The owner even gave me a free samosa! Thx
Polite service in a clean environment with enough seating for a clan of six. The lamb vindaloo was delicious!
I recently spent a year in India. This food is pretty good and the prices are great! Easy, fast, and cheap.
No ambiance. But good solid food at a reasonable price. My go to place for an Indian food fix!
Good food! Lovely staffs!
If you are on travel .. All away from india.. If you miss the real Spicy hot kick .. You have to be here and pick lamb curry with rice/naan!! Great connect !
This is the best place to get Indian food. The price is great and the flavor is amazing.
Not very impressed with the rice. Friendly staff but chicken curry was a little bland and cold. The rice were really dry and a little undercooked.
One of my favorite lunch places. guys working there and the owner are very nice.
Quick service and the food is very much a comfort food. Definitely would go back
This place is consistently good. Perfect lunch spot. Lots of vegan options.
Cheap and yammy!! and the staff explained about menu very kindly :) but the only part which makes me disappointed is that Nahn is more like bread .. overall good :)
Friendly staff,clean place,they gave us kheer and extra naan as we r visiting place for 1st time...pretty cool
The food is a very fair price along with great portions for mid-town and the service is very friendly
Super friendly, simple indian cuisine. Chicken tikka had great flavor!
The customer service is regularly rapid, good atmosphere, super nice staff. I will visit here again when I get here.

Worst Biryani I ever had and that too at an exuberant price. Will never visit again and not recommend it.
Not bad for midtown NYC but if you need Indian go to Indian lands
Pathetic taste, tasteless food and the price does not justify as well.

Good evening we have just left this restaurant I can assure you its a disaster we ate a Tika massala chicken Hard and dry as concrete my wife asked for a dish that is not spicy, I like spices a lot so it was, but they put a very spicy dish on her and she couldnt eat anything.Unpleasant welcome from the owner and the employee the Nan Was really very dry without any taste to top it off he forces us to take drink products and in addition at the end at 9:50 pm he waits behind us so that we can finish and we exit the restaurant.He is not an Indian or Bangladeshi food specialist.Hes a con artist who uses tourists to give them stale rice funds and dry chicken.No dish is prepared everything is left in full heat in stainless steel boxes we strongly advise against this restaurant know that this opinion is not intended to harm the restaurant but to inform all future tourists and all people who may be get there.
Boss very helpful, clean. Eat a chicken tika masala with rice and 2 kinds of vegetables and pitta bread offered. Cheap and delicious.
Good restaurant. Good price. After c canteen atmosphere but the food is tooooooop
Very good food, clean

2018-02-07Ideal for an express lunch, food is just OK and not cooked to serve. Gets 3 stars for decent prices and friendly staff.
Review №2
2019-02-28Had Samoa, Vegetable Pakora, Samoa Chat and Vegetarian Platter. Not much flavor so recommend getting the chutney and raita to add some flavor.

2018-08-09I ordered a biriyani but I got plain rice mixed with chicken and food color. Worse biriyani in the world.

2021-01-06The man who usually runs this place is a gentle, personable and professional manager. Hes a good man, experiences and has been in the business for a while. He remembers you and cares about your experience. The last time I visited, he was off sick, so I hope hes better and hes back. The food is good especially the tandoori chicken, the biryani, the naans and the mango lassi. Easily accessible. Great location. They deliver in the area too. And its halal for all those seeking good and quick serve halal food in New York. Definitely recommend them.

Review №7
2017-11-12I ordered on seamless and immediately upon placing the order I realized it was going to my work and not home. I called within seconds of placing and they said it was no problem, it was cancelled. Later I realized I got charged for food I didn’t want nor ever received. I had seamless dispute this, but the restaurant told seamless it had already made my food. Completely impossible! Additionally, seamless took it upon themselves to write a fake five star review under my name.

2018-02-11Really want to give it three and a half stars. Its a middle of the road Indian restaurant: not much spice, not much butter, not too pricey considering you get a sizeable portion for the money. They are willing to do custom orders unlike some of the other places in the area.

2017-07-31Pathetic food. Indian food is so flavourful but the food at this place is so blend. Manager have complete differential attitude towards people.Palak paneer was not at all good and Chana masala was not at all good. Quantity of rice was too much but Dahi was served in very small quantity like pickle. Pay $2 for 3 piece.Dont go as food is at cheap rates.

2019-08-30Joy is always a good place for good Indian/Bangladeshi consider food. The meat in goat curry is always tender, the splice level is never too much, the rice or naan is if good quality and you can either sit and eat or take it away. Cant go wrong!!
