I highly recommend the chicken 65! And the amount of food you get for the price is amazing and delish, especially the lunch specials . Cocktails are good too! Friendly staff ! Yummy in my tummy!

Bill O'Leary

This might be it. The best chicken korma on earth. AND it is the nicest and cleanest place on Curry Hill . To you korma fans, and I know you are out there, let me know if you agree.

Serious Eats

An expansive menu with plenty of uncommon Indian regional specialties. Go for binda sasuralwali, "Okra you would eat at your in laws' house."

Jessica Tuquero

Venture past the lunch specials and try their main menu dishes. Everything we had was packed with flavor and was prepared at a high caliber. We will definitely go back!

Mischa

Awesome spot picked randomly. Chicken saag is so good, naan is also great. For lamb entrees go for the korma , which is a little sweet, but you won't regret the decision.

New. Features largely kebabs and rice dishes. Taste: Kabab Peshkash(an assortment of your favorite kababs ). Dum Biryani from Hyderabad, which is cooked using a sealed pot technique to maximize flavor Read more

Probably the most incompetent waiting staff I've ever come across. I had my leftover palak paneer packed. I got home and found the complimentary lentils packed in a nice little to-go container...

Zeba Siddiqi

Lamb biryani , butter chicken , Dal makhani with Garlic naan is a must try!

Giovanni D'Palma

Great spot to get an amazing lunch if you work in the area. Their food is always great and service is on point.

Kundan

Get a veg or non veg platter , which gives you rice , naan , appetizers , you can ask for dal and ask them to make it spicy , medium or regular.

Tara Bahl

Really delicious! The paneer stuffed aloo were so flavorful, and the baghara baigan was a nice change from traditional punjabi baingan bharta.
