I have to change few trains to go to curry hill. It was our anniversary and instead of going to the really high end restaurant we read about this restaurant in Eater, and decided to give it a try.First of all the area is dead on Sunday afternoon . We were the only ones in the restaurant at 2:30, so we kind of liked that. We read a lot about this restaurant so we were prepared what to expect. Decor will get zero point. serving staff will get all five points. They were very helpful, provided suggestions. I read in few review that staff was rude, which was not the case for us.but sometimes language could be the barrier.Food was excellent . we ordered two appetizers . And both arrived the way it should. hot and delicious . In main course we decided to order what most of the reviewers were raving about, chicken kori gassi, Dumaloo, and I have to have dal. Kori gassi chicken was good but I did not find wow factor. Dum aloo potatoes were bit sweet for me, but recipe is surely authentic.no tomatoes or onions and garlic. Kashmiri Pundits dont use either in their cuisine. Food was real hot the way it should be. we were offered Kheer ( kind of rice pudding) for dessert cold thick and absolutely delicious . And I dont like milk or white rice.Will I come back to this restaurant? As I said its trip for me but yes , absolutely. I still need to try their goat and lamb in my main course.
I always pick up a mango lassi from here because it’s the best in the area, but I tried the lamb biryani and malai kofta and they were both amazing. The lamb biryani had a generous serving of the meat and the malai kofta had the perfect creaminess and spices. NY Times described this place as the middle ground between Junoon and Haandi and I couldn’t agree more.
Food was mediocre at best. their lamb biryani is even worse - not sure who rated it in times. very disappointed with the biryani. two stars is being very generous. service is good, which is why the two stars,
We ordered butter Nan, butter chicken and ratan yosh. Eve8was perfect and just the right spice. The Butter chicken was to die for. I definitely recommend this restaurant.
Unassuming place however food was really good, the lamb dish was so good reminded me of my childhood. Biryani is a must have, would say this is my new neighborhood Indian spot.
Definitely a spot i was shocked by, the food here is outstanding, one of the best indian foods in the city. The sabzi saag was delightful and the paneer tikka masala was amazing, Definitely a place i will be back to and a place i will highly recommend.
After spending 6 plus hours in Central Park, drinking with my friends, we decided to go to Sahib for dinner. We reached here at about 8:45 pm on a Saturday night, and found seating right away for 6 of us. The restaurant was moderately busy.Music was too loud and we couldnt really speak, so we requested our hostess to reduce the volume and she kindly obliged.We ordered a couple of things but the Chicken Biryani was the winner. Really good taste, but the price to portion ratio could be a little better. The curries we ordered were good too, and so were the desserts.Service was excellent and Id definitely visit again!
Sahib was an excellent find for lunch. I enjoyed a wonderful buffet at a great price. Flavors were perfect. Tandoori chicken was the best. The dosa stuffed with potatoes was a nice addition. Service was spot on. I want to go back for a try from the menu. Ambience was rustic and simple. Nice way to relax after shopping at the Spice Corner.
Good lunch buffet deal under $13 w unlimited naan and tandoori chicken. The interior is small, yet modern and clean.
We love this place! In the winter they bring you a soup shooter and during warm weather it’s mango juice. A few times we’ve ordered Kari Gassi and naan. The garlic naan is out of this world delicious! And today we tried Dhaniwal Korma - a chicken in yogurt sauce that was so tender and flavorful and not spicy. The service is fast and attentive.
I got food poisoning from eating their food. I had butter chicken with puri. Really bad experience, I do not recommend their food
We walked in off the street around 11:10pm. The kitchen closes at 11;15.the host and servers were gracious, offered suggestions, as we are vegetarian. The food was unbelievably fresh and delicious, incredibly flavorful, perfectly spiced. What a lovely surprise.
This low key Indian restaurant has yummy dishes for all diets and needs, and tasty starters. The eggplant fritters and okra were delicious! Although only one of the bathrooms was functional and the service was slowed down by a large table near us, it was worth it! Note: this place does not serve alcohol and is not BYOB.
Top! This is it, not all buffet is equal....in buffet quality is everything!This place has good quality food that are delicious.For lunch buffet they have good 12-14dishes plus nan and condiments.It is very satisfying selections of food.
Great food and amazing service!
All you can eat with many options of rice, meat, curry, and other foods. They also bring around freshly made foods such as dosa and various chicken options. They seem to have different dessert options depending on when you go.
Very delicious food but the chicken korma was not that good , the buryani is very good and i like it so much, also the lemon rice it was my firs time but i really like it. The serves was nice.
Been on the lookout for good Indian food in Manhattan since our move here last year. Sadly, I ended up in a neighborhood where people seems to be afraid of spice, and the few Indian restaurants catered to Western palate. (Oh my god, is that salt? TOO SPICY!!!)I meant to take a photo of the veggie samosas, but I got too excited and finished before I remembered to take a photo. It’s hard not to since the samosas and almost everything they serve here are made in-house.- Food is A+++- Friendly staff- Clean facilities- Interior decor is simple but you can tell they’ve paid attention to details- Did I mention the food is amazing?
Very flavorful food - have ordered a few times now and every time food has been good. Will definitely order again and try other dishes
Chicken Malai tikka was flavourless. Hara bhara kebab was good.
Cozy...loved the white wooden interior, chairs are nice, romantic and casual, great for groups and dates, staff is polite and helpful with the menu...the food was very tasty from start to finish and the preparation and plating is photogenic 🤣😉
Delicious spot on Curry Hill! Very friendly staff willing to make recommendations. Im excited to return and try more wonderful dishes!
This was the best casual Indian I have had in NYC, spicy tikka & medium korma were a great combo
We went there for dhai bhallay, gol gappay and aloo kai pakoray and the food quality wasnt good.Im originally from Pakistan and none of these items come even close to what they should taste like. Moreover, the quantity of these items could bei increased given the prices.
Delicious food and great service! Will definitely come back.
By far the best Indian food Ive had in my four years in New York!They even called to check about my allergies and the food was so good! My wife absolutely loved her Dhaniwala Korma and they really did honour my request for the spiciest biriyani! The crew is very pleasant and attentive and the food is authentic and delicious, takes me back to my childhood! Very good portions, comfortable and not wastefully excessive!
Love the bone in chicken biryani, the vegetable biryani, Malai kofta, lasoni Gobi and peas tikki.
Great buffet for the price. Excellent choice of complementary side dishes. Friendly staff provide great service.
Very good ambience, friendly staff and their Dum Biryani is the best!
Good food and okayish drinks with not so great ambience.
Great Indian food.
Delicious, fast and reasonably priced. Palak chaat, dal sahib (black lentils) were 100. Malai kofta vegetarian balls in creamy nut sauce with the cilantro chutney (green sauce from samosa dip) was solid. Kids loved it too.
Wonderful food, portion size, and service. Felt very safe from staff, and tables spaced with a good distance. This is our second time here and Vijay made sure we had a wonderful evening out, always attentive to what we needed, the kind of service that makes us want to come back. Helped us forget about the pandemic for a time. Thank you.
Went here today for the lunch buffet after wanting to try their food for a while. It was scrumptious! The buffet was stocked with lots of delicious meat and vegetarian options that were hot and fresh. A sweet older man came around to bring baskets of naan, some sort of filled crepe, delicious chicken drumsticks, and this wonderful bowl of crispy rice! Our water was refilled promptly and the bathrooms were clean and smelled nice. The buffet was a great price and so delicious.
Awesome flavor and portions. We have lived in the neighborhood for 12 years and Sahib has trumped it’s neighboring competitors.
The paneer biryani was great. Lots of food
Really nice restaurant in the inside. But when I went there I had their chicken biryani and found hair in my food. And the somosas were not fully cooked in the inside. Not just that the waiters are rude.
My partner went today the atmosphere was great greeter was polite and welcoming. The food was amazing the presentation was great flavor profiles were perfect in balance portion sizes were enough to share and it price point was reasonable definitely will frequent this restaurant again
We came in for lunch and the restaurant was empty so we asked if we could sit further inside the restaurant because the door was being left open and it was cold. The elderly gentleman who sat us said no and told us to sit down there which was the closest table to the door. So we sat down and kept our jackets on during the entire lunch. Then came to ordering the food. The waiter was a little rude and short with us when we asked questions about what sides come with what entrees. Typically basmati rice is served which curries but not here at Sahib which is a bit odd but fine we ordered a side of rice with peas (they sprinkle 4 or 5 peas on top the rest is plain). We order chicken tikka masala, chicken makhani, and their award winning biryani. Presentation wise everything was fantastic and the chicken tikka and chicken makhani were superb. The biryani on the other hand was basically inedible. It looked amazing with the top being encased in a perfectly cooked dough. It looked beautiful so I was very excited to eat it however when I brought it closer to me I immediately recognized the pungent smell coming from the biryani even before breaking the top layer of dough. It was drowned in saffron flavoring and every bite just tasted like saffron and heat, nothing else. It was very sad because it was cooked perfectly but inedible because of all the saffron. It was like eating flowery perfume. All in all it was an ok lunch but not worth 100 dollars especially when I couldnt even eat the food I ordered.
Well being from India and having lived in New York, the heart craves for Indian food once in a while with the awareness that there are excellent options around! It took me 4 years to go to Sahib after having moved to the US and I was surprised! I have had countless Indian buffets but this one by far has to be the best! The food is authentic and that doesn’t mean spicy! The taste wasn’t Indo-American but Indian, and had a fresh feeling to it! They had by far the best buffet I have anywhere in the US! Recommend it completely! You shouldn’t be missing this!The service staff is very warm & hospitable!
This place won my heart hands down and there are three reasons for it- 1. the buffet had options from all parts of India and variety of options for vegetarians and non-vegetarians 2. Each and every item was cooked to perfection with authentic Indian touch 3. Serving staff is very warm and welcoming and prompt with their service.Do visit if you love Indian cuisine or if you want a perfect introduction buffet of Indian cuisine.
Well the food was nice and flavorful but kashmiri Rista was not kashmiri Rista. Ristas are spherical balls not discs and its not made in an onion, tomato puree none of these ingredients are added. So please if its your own version of Rista then its all good but dont add the word kashmiri to it, if you dont know the recipe. Galawati kebab were normal kebabs.The word Galawati comes from Galawati meaning something that melts and it did not, its a recipe from Lucknow. Please dont deceive people in the name of food. If you want to serve a particular recipe research about it. p.s I am a kashmiri and I am pretty sure your kashmiri Rogan Josh is not even kashmiri Rogan Josh. I have have had these dishes most of all my life. If needed I can share the authentic recipe.
What I thought was going to be a pleasant experience with my family didn’t turn out to be the case. Before we got to the restaurant, we called to confirmas the restaurant was closing in an hour and asked if it was okay to come in and if they would still accommodate us. The person on the phone said they would,so we went there. After placing the order, the food that we requested for medium in terms of spice came out really spicy that I felt like my insides were burning. We still tried our best to eat the food as we were extremely hungry at that point. 10 mins into our meal being served the manager asked if we would like our cheque. We felt like we were unceremoniously getting kicked out and hassled. We told the manger it was unacceptable and they shouldn’t have taken us if they were so willing to kick us out during our meal. Instead the manager was grinning and defending poor customer service and terrible quality food. I will not be going to this establishment again or recommend it to anybody after this experience.
Good food, GREAT service, fair prices. Worth a try
Oh. My. Goodness. The best Indian food weve ever eaten and its not even close. The service was amazing, the waiter explained to us three Americans what the dish was, how it was prepared, and some fun facts. The service was the best Ive ever had, it wasnt that busy but youd think we were the only people there! I will 100% be coming back and bringing people back with me.
The Indian food here was excellent. We had saag paneer and a basic chicken curry both of which were very. The bread was not the best I have had but also very. We asked for a spicy and it definitely came very hot so make sure you do want it hot if you ask for it spicy.
I came here on a Sunday night and it was relatively empty. My friend familiar with the Indian restaurants in the area recommended it for Northern Indian food. The curry was delicious and the serving was quite generous. Would highly recommend the jalapeno naan if youre okay with spicy.
Amazing Service - lovely dishes, well portioned and delicious.Frequent many Indian restaurants locally and this was a special treat.Will be back soon!
Wonderful food, great service! They served our 20 person party for dinner and it was fantastic. Will definitely be back again.
This restaurant is the one I always prefer. I visit many restaurants but to this place I keep coming back again and again. The crew is very professional and the cooking they place on your table is so delicious. I never decline to have a nice meal in this place. I highly recommend this place.
Spectacular tasting food and especially bravo on the extra spicy murgh vindaloo. I usually get medium spicy when asked very spicy so this was a nice surprise. It was so spicy that I could throat sing afterward. Paneer naan and mango lassi were amazing. Overall, 10/10.
Good service and pretty good food.They serve complimentary tomato soup and desert both of which were delicious. Main course had several options and they didnt disappoint us on our choices. Portions were small though so we had to reorder some items for our family.The do not serve alcohol and dont do BYOB either.
Seriously a solid choice for a good Indian lunch in the area. Food was high quality, tasty, clean, and a wide selection of options at the buffet. Also you cannot beat that price. They came around with fresh tandoori chicken and a dosa for you as well, all included in the cost. I forwent the Naan for a pappadam, no charge. Service was friendly and speedy. I’ll be back.
The food is incredibly flavorful. Delicious.Vijay is a friendly, waiter who offers free tequila if you’re nice. Go here. Support local business.
I eat in the neighborhood quite often and this place has become my favorite. The food is great with dishes from several regions in India and the staff is very polite. Definitely a place to check out if you are in the area.
Exceptional Indian FoodWe have traveled to north and south India and the food at Sahib rivals the best we have tasted. We followed some of the suggestions in the NY Times review of Sahib. Although the eggplant fritters were not distinctive in taste, the Manglorean Coconut Chicken was tender in a silken, delicately spiced sauce. The Rogan Josh, (Kashmir Lamb Curry) was the best we have ever tasted anywhere. The lamb was meaty and tender and absorbed the beautiful red sauce surrounding it. The Chicken Biryani, served in a copper pot covered with a drape of baked dough, was served steaming, perfumed with spice. The dessert, Mango Kulfi, is a frozen dairy dessert like nothing we have ever tasted. The mouthfeel of this creamy delight borrows the best of the attributes of ice cream, gelato, and frozen custard, but is kept at a precise temperature to not become too loose or too hard. It was heavenly.The staff was extremely attentive, especially the manager, Prahlad who came over to our table often to ask if everything was to our satisfaction. The atmosphere is basic, with bare wooden accents, but they have good ambient gentle lighting and the noise level is mid to low. We will definitely return to try other things on the menu.
Love Indian food in general, but this place is to die for! May be best chicken tika masala Ive ever had!! Great service and lots of extras served at the table even though it is a lunch buffet. Definitely recommend!
The restaurant is nice , clean and comfortable, the service is good . It was an almost empty restaurant, given that its neighboring restaurants vere full to capacity . We soon found out why, it has very ordinary, almost tasteless food. Thats saying a lot about Indian food which usually has some taste. Skip this place and go to Chhote Nawab or any other of the.many Indian restaurants in the neighborhood.
A must visit- the neighborhood around this restaurant has many other Indian restaurants so it can be hectic at times to decide a place- please try out this place first, food had authentic Indian taste, amazing amazing food!! A must must try- must try their ras malai- I havent had such in a decade of living in NY- will be coming back soon!
This is my all time fav Indian restaurant, I always keep coming back for more, the service is always great and the food is even better, I love everything but my fav would be their butter chicken, I always recommend this place for those who want authentic Indian food.
I ate a Saturday buffet here. The fare was your standard indian buffet - two vegetables, one paneer dish and rice+dal. They had chana and bhature as well. However the bhature was more of a kulcha. It was fluffed up big like a puri which is how it should be. They also had a dosa and mamra as side dishes. I wish they put a little more effort with respect to the taste and overall experience of a customer here. I like to see innovation in food and that was missing.
They are a classy establishment with delicious food at reasonable prices. Sahib is conveniently located on 28th and Lexington Ave in Curry Hill. The vibe there is cozy chic with a hint of upscale. Their lunch buffet is so bountiful with choices for meat eaters, vegans, and vegetarians alike. They even include dessert as part of the buffet! Their staff is very nice, welcoming, and professional. Your water glass is always filled and are greeted like family from their hellos and comfortable small talk and classy touches like an appetizer of a tandoori chicken drumstick, warm naan, and dosa. I highly recommend you go there and hope that this place will remain open, considering a new restaurant is always opening in a previous establishments place.
Best Indian food in NYC and friendly service. Shrimp appetizer is superb and the Naan is the best I have ever tasted. We ordered several dishes to share and all were excellent.
Nice place to have lunch buffet. I enjoyed a wonderful buffet at a great price $13+ tax (may chnage). I am a vegetarian still found plenty of options they served salad, onion pakoda, Bhel, mini masala dosa, chole bhature, 2 Sabjis, Naan, peas pulav and Gulab jamun (yes they do have various options for non veg as well). Food taste was good and ambience was simple. hotel staff was cooperative and provided great service. No Wi-Fi
One of the best buffets in NYC. They serve a mini dosa with the buffet.I am veg. and veg. dishes are consistently good.
Delicious food with so many rich flavors . Chili paneer and reshmi kabob were on point. Wonderful service. Highly recommend!
Prahlad and his team gave us an extremely flavorful meal with incredibly attentive service. The food was arguably the best Indian food I have had in NYC and I would definitely recommend Sahib highly. Great spot for both small and large parties. Very cool spot.
Overall thoughts: great carbs.The biryani comes in a clay pot and is covered with bread to keep the warmth. The bread itself is fluffy and chewy. The biryani is fragrant and comes with a really great yogurt sauce.Chicken chettinad is incredibly flavorful and delicious. Pairs very well with garlic naan.
Restaurant was great and food was delicious!! We sat down and were immediately taken care of. Wine was a great pour and the food was unreal. We got the chicken tikka masala and the lamb Rogan josh with sides of rice. The spice in the tikka masala was perfection, and the lamb was so tender. After we had this warm cheese/dough ball for dessert which was covered in rose syrup. UNBELIEVABLE! Best dessert I’ve had in a while.
Great selection of appetizers and entrees. Garlic Naans were delicious. Very accommodating and excellent customer service.
Came here for dinner and I was really impressed with the food. We ordered garlic naan, chicken tikka masala, and a few other dishes. Ive wandered into many different Indian restaurants here and this is by far my favorite food. So much flavor and somehow its different in every bite in the best way.
Had a craving for some curry and came here after checking out some reviews. The restaurant interior is clean, though the Indian music in the background was playing rather choppily.As with a lot of Indian restaurants during lunch time we could pick between a buffet service or a la carte, we went for a la carte though Im pretty sure everyone else in the restaurant was doing the buffet. Will have to try the buffet next time.We had 2 starters, one a deep fried battered eggplant and the other was the usual pyramidal shaped samosa. Both were good and well presented, as were all their dishes for that matter.For the main we selected chicken Rogan Gosh and a goat Kosha. Originally, we thought it wasnt too spicy, but as time wore on the sweat started pouring off! So, even the menu items not marked as spicy are reasonably spicy, but are flavourful without losing your taste buds.We had some rice and garlic naan bread as sides. The naan were very crisp and thinner than most naans Ive had, very tasty, crunchy and soft.We finished off with 2 balls of Jumin, for dessert. I was a bit full but glad I ate it as it offset the spiciness pretty quickly.Definitely one to come back to.Update. Went back for lunch one weekend and had the buffet and its very good value, tasty and the food is replenished frequently. Now I see why most people just went for the buffet.
I enjoyed a nice Northern Indian meal and good service seated in upscale dining decor on a relatively quiet Sunday night. The server seemed to really know the menu and hopped into the kitchen to make sure to correctly answer a question a vegetarian at the table had about one of the dishes. Immediately after ordering, the server brought a warm, aptly seasonal, pumpkin drink that was and papadum and chutneys for sharing. The menu has helpful recommendations and spicyness levels indicated. My party mostly ordered curries; though we did not order any of the tandoori meat, the meat in our curries were at perfect temperatures, moist rather than dry. We tried the paratha (potato bread), garlic naan, luchi, and jalapeno naan, which was. For those who want to try to the exotic bone-in goat, but are concerned about restaurant etiquette, I highly recommend it; the bones were usually not more than an easily picked one per piece, and some pieces didnt have any bones. Would be interested in trying the lunch buffet sometime!
Truly amazing food. Although a little expensive, the dishes are very authentic, and staff is welcoming. The highlight isnt their moody decor, its their food, from their south indian curries to the naan, everything is cooked to perfection.
Ordered to go from here, big mistake. I dont know where they get their recipes, but chicken tikka is not a bowl of funky under cooked chicken wings. Those things were food poisoning on a plate and this is yet another joint that thinks peas pilau is 7 peas scattered on a bowl of white rice. They myst think peas are expensive because what they call matar paneer had the least number of peas I have ever seen in that dish, are peas in short supply in New York? I am forced to conclude these places on Lex all operate on the assumption that we dont know what Indian food is. They are wrong.
One of most authentic Indian food in NYC.Must go…
Delicious flavor in the food. Service was very polite but team was lean - which was just fine. So far our preferred Indian spot in the area. Try it!
This was pretty mediocre Indian food. It wasnt bad by any means, but the dishes had virtually no flavor or spiciness. I was especially surprised by this after being insulted by the waiter saying he didnt think I could handle their spicy dishes.
Customer service has changed way worse. I am going to this restaurant for 3 years but now all the waiters are rude. I always order Togo box for lunch... but their policy for not offering a separate box for desert and we don’t have freedom to choose stuff from the buffet. Even I won’t like to give them a star as well. Sahib has got worse over the years with the management
A really tasty and exceedingly inclusive lunch buffet as well as a great staff. Even though there are a lot of good meat options, there is plenty to keep vegetarians happy as well. Highly recommend!
Very accommodating staff and tasteful modern decor. The food was wonderful: sauces were rich, portions substantial, quality of meats in dishes was excellent. Would easily return to this place.
Service was good but the food itself and restaurant environment was bad. It was hot when I got in here so I asked them to turn on the AC which they said was but didnt seem like it.I got the boneless chicken biryani and it wasnt properly seasoned in terms of spices or even salt. Would recommend to stay away from this place..
Service was poor. 1st person came to pour water, and we asked for sparkling. She took our water glasses and went away. 2nd person came over 5 minutes later and gave us water glasses. We told them we would like sparkling water. So he left. 3rd person came over and just poured still water without asking. The tables around us received little mango lassis and a basket of papadum before ordering. We got nothing. 1st person came back and we asked if they could make any of their specialty cocktails without alcohol -- i.e. mocktails.She said no. 4th person came over to take our order before wed a chance to even look at the 2nd page of the menu, and his breath was horrific.The Chole was decent, although quite spicy despite asking for mild. Rogan Josh was the least flavorful Ive ever had. Cocunut rice was boring, despite being pretty damn expensive for rice, and there is no rice included with the curries. It was $65 for 2 small curries, rice, naan and 2 sparkling waters. Never going back.
Really impressed. Quality Indian food, wonderful choice. Starters are amazing, mains were sizeable and plenty of meat.. naans were amazing. We will be back!
Made reservations for 7, called before hand to confirm BYOB policy. However when we got to the restaurant, the situation turned to total confusion very rapidly. The waiter, after seating us down informed us that we are not allowed to bring our own, despite the fact that the restaurant does not have a bar. When we protested, he tried his best to explain with a big unbefitting smile and suggested that we should go to Dhaba, next door which he said is also owned by them and has the liquor license. Walked out saying no way we are going to patronize their sister restaurant, Dhaba. We figured there are plenty of choices on the curry hill. Landed at Chote Nawab and as we were being seated, to our bemusement saw the same waiter with a mystifying smile from Sahib escorting a party of customers to Chote Nawab. Upon enquiring from our current waiter, we were informed, its also owned by the same management. At this point we were praying things need to get better. We were starving. But alas , that turned out to be a wishful thinking. The current waiter with no smile, this time, curtly informed us there is a steep $15 corkage for wine and $3 for our own IPA beer. We had reached a point of complete submission and agreed to all the charges. The waiter insisted on pouring the beer into the glasses and proceeded hastily to do the same and as we watched in disbelief half of the beer erupted into a volcano and flowed over to the table. After a customary apology proceeded to repeat it again. Now, this was turning into farce. Unfortunately, this left a bad taste even before we could taste the food. A friendly tip for the management (Hemant Mathur and Shiva Natarajan), besides focusing on exotic dishes and getting glowing reviews from NY times, a little attention to training staff at customer service will help build business for the long haul rather than annual opening and shutting down of their restaurants, like Haldi which also opened with similar fan fare and glowing reviews like Sahib only to shut down with an a year.
Its good food and nice more modern atmosphere. In a neighborhood full of Indian food, its hard to stand out but I do think the clean and modern design helps this restaurant.
Average experience. Even after asking for little spicy curry, we got something which was sweet. I can understand you have to serve locals, but you should always maintain the authenticity.. good luck!!
Great place to go for a fast buffet lunch that has fantastic options and quality ordering off the menu gives you even more choices of authentic Indian cuisine. The ambulance is on the lower end but the value makes it well worth it!!
The problem is that Ive eaten better Indian food
Loved this place! It was clean, covid cautious, very kind servers/staff, and most of all AMAZING food!!!
Food with no flavour. Too much salt.Energize your staff.Biryani had no flavourAchari chicken had too much salt.Not planning to visit this place till another 10 years.
The food was amazing. I tried the chicken chops and lamb chops which are to die for! The vegitaruan entrees had alot of unique flavors. Looking forward to coming back soon!! You should definitely try it!
Really nice and cosy. The manager and all the staff are really nice and welcoming. The food is good, nicely served, they even offered us a small appetizer and a sweet treat to finish our meal. Would definitely recommend it !!
Delicious food and amazing service. I highly recommend the biryani, which is made in the authentic dham style with a layer of dough covering a personal pot of rice and meat. It was heavenly!
Great food and quantity. The service was really nice and quick. Definitely worth a try if you want to try some authentic indian food.
Delicious flavors, lunch buffet items are always different except for their staple, chicken tikka masala. Try the coconut rice, it will not disappoint!
My favorite Indian place in the city. Their kashmiri chicken dish is something I havent seen at any other restaurant and is really good. Highly recommend it
Okish taste. I took veg biryani and chicken lollipop. They had sweet sause on chicken lollipop :(
Fantastic food and decent serving. I think it should have been noted on the menu that rice is not included in the dishes and you have to order it seperately.
Absolutely delish, authentic Indian food!!Must try their Biryani 😋
Excellent Indian food. So good Im going back tomorrow for lunch. During lunch they have a buffet. I can taste it now.
Delicious food, great service. Kashmiri naan for the win.
Wonderful lunch buffet. Naan, dosa, and mustard chicken tandoori brought fresh to table in addition to excellent varied buffet.
Best Indian Food in NYC! Try the dahi chicken and gobi Kurchan, they are delicious. Definitely a wonderful experience, especially for those missing good north Indian food.
Tried lunch special buffet. Amazing foods! No wonder my Indian coworker say it’s his favorite restaurant!
Amazing. Raj kachori was awesome. Tried veg biryani and it was delicious.
Nice little peice of India in the middle of Manhattan. Staff was helpful and easy to talk with. Good variety of various Indian dishes
I will say the worst food I have ever eaten .Normally for North Indian food I would go to Dhaba which is good .On dhaba recomendation I went to this restaurant because of there kitchen update on thanksgiving .the place looks nice but food was horrible .Another scam putting Indian name behind Bangladeshi food .Hope they can prepare food according to there name and outlook .
Good food. Decent selection for vegetarians. They brought us 3 free sides with our buffet meal.
Attentive service and out-of-this-world favorites like Tikka Masala and Madras.
Really good food. The biryani is so worth it. The portion is really big. Tastes great!
The restaurant has great food and great ambiance. They also now have a full bar service and have a nice variety drinks menu.
Impressing customer service and loved the white decoration and awesome food, would highly recommend, was in love with their Chicken Tikka Masala and Jalapeño naan..
We were there & Delicious Original Punjabi Taste dishes with Very Good service were served.
We ordered 10 different dishes plus drinks, we ate everything. Great food, good service!
Excellent manager, great food, ordered biryanis. Had a good experience. Great place for groups
This place is great! Affordable prices, large dishes and the staff members are regularly very friendly.
Amazing food and service topped by the most courteous and polite server- Vivek. Been there twice in 2 weeks and looking forward to more trips!
Super good - love it
Chicken and paneer Tikka are amazing, try the spicy onion naan
Great new Indian spot - try the bhindi and baigan dishes and curries. Good service and quality food.
Good Indian food, affordable prices.
Good test of Asian fusion…
The buffet lunch was delicious. Its a great way to try lots of different dishes.
The food was exellent,I am a visitor in NYC during last twenty days I have eaten at almost 15 eatries,including michelan starred eatries.by far this has been the best place to have food suited to my palate.
Excellent good quality. Good portions. Decor and ambience could use some improvement.
Bring your friends, share food. Get the garlic naan unless you are big fan of jalapenos, stay away from the spicy naan.
Amazing Indian food, I highly recommend the vegetable byriany rice (and I am a meat lover)
The place is very nicely decorated and has great service.The food is amazing :).
Amazing food. Nice and quiet.. They buffet during lunch is amazing.
Very good service but they served us a little old mung dal soup and chana..both were reaching their end of perishable life cycle :(
I find it so hard to find decent curry in new York (vs the uk), but sahib is good!

2022-05-06Decent Indian restaurant with good service and food.We got chicken lollipops, eggplant fritters, butter chicken, and lamb.Chicken lollipops was certainly interesting with a mix of spicy and tangy that it was similar to Korean style fried chicken albeit a heavier batter.Eggplant fritter is a great snack-ish starter.Butter chicken was alright as it was bit to sweet so it’s not highlighting the flavor it ought to have in its authentic form.Lamb was on point as the meat was pretty tender.MUST Get their Naan, fluffy and piping hot!Attentive service was a plus.

2022-07-05Stumbled upon this great place while I was in NYC.The food was delicious!! We got the Palak Chaat, Lasooni Gobi, Malai tandoori Mushroom , Veg Mughalai Biryani and Ras Malai.While everything tasted absolutely amazing! The Biryani was a little spicy for me.The service was fast and the places is open until 11:30.

2022-06-25Good Indian food with plenty of options from both North India and South India. Quantities are good, prices are decent and flavors are authentic but a bit more subtle than homemade.Their spicy is spicy for even people who were brought up in India, so unless you are ready with some lassi on the side, get medium or mild.Our favorite dishes (including over multiple takeouts) were the chicken chettinad (really spicy) and chicken biryani. Mean moilee (coconut based fish curry) was good but could have had more flavor.

2022-05-29Visiting from out of town , requested uber eats at my hotel ,the food is absolutely amazing 10/10! the chicken was soft and fresh( plenty to share for 2),hakka noodles was delicious (quantity is less) ingredients were in ample amount.it was delivered in a fancy printed bag, but it came with a very cheap quality of utensils! difficult to eat with. and the gravy was not wrapped in stretch film , the bag was leaking when receivedover all qualifies for all 5 stars because the food is mamamia!

2022-02-17I have already ordered twice from this place! I had the:Delhiwali Chili Chicken (Gravy)Szechwan Chicken (Gravy)Sweet and Sour Chicken (Gravy)Sahib Spring Rolls (Veg/ Chicken)Achari Chicken TikkaThe flavors are very savory and the serving size is plentiful for the price! I usually can eat for two meals. The dishes come with a small bowl and rice. Anything with the gravy just means that its sauce heavy. I have yet to be disappointed!

2022-04-05This is the best curry in Murray Hill. I have tried many places but Sahib is by far the stand out restaurant.I have eaten take out from Sahib a lot of times but decided to go dine there last night with friends. The service was amazing and the food was on point. There were 5 of us at the table and we were all basically licking our plates clean.I highly recommend Sahib and I will definitely continue to dine here.

2021-10-13Amazing!! We got chettinad, konju pappas, and murgh methi malai (the best), with two orders of coconut rice and garlic naan. It was ALL so delicious and the service was perfect. Im surprised Sahib was so empty while Bhatti next door was so full. Would definitely go again!!
