Ritesh Patel

Probably the best curry house in New York City ...try the Lasanu Gobi - Cauliflower to die for and also the Chicken Tikka Masala and my Fav the Lamb Vindalooo. The Phaal is not for the fainthearted !

While it is definitely delicious don't order saag paneer when you are with a group of friends post beer heavy football match. They will make fun of you for being a veggie even if you are a carnivore.

Anthony Vade

The Phaal seriously hurt me but it was well worth it. I am seasoned chili freak too so don't try it unless you have a gut of steel! The rest of the menu is amazing too. Great service also. 10/10!!!

Ben Mackey

The food here is fantastic. The Fish Moilee, the Aloo Gobi and the garlic naan are all amazing. A little more expensive than 6th St but worth it.

Gothamist

The lunch buffet , seven days a week, gets you unlimited scoops of chicken tikka masala , tandoori chicken and a rotating selection of other flavorful curry dishes . Read more

Peter Plee Lee

$15 all you can eat buffet , fresh nan when you get back to your table waiting, can't go wrong with that~

Rachel Nash

For gluten-free options, try: the pakoras , (which are friend in chickpea batter), and the balti, or the meat sizzler (lamb chop , chicken , and shammi kebabs ).

Ricky Sherrill

This is your place if you enjoy spicy food with good flavor. Great buffet where you get the opportunity to try all of their dishes.

Ruby Anaya

Best saag paneer I've had, and if you like it spicy just ask for fresh chillies . The raita was also thick and super tasty.

Serious Eats

Known for their 'spiciest curry ever' gimmick, this spot stands out from many of the others on the East Village 's Indian restaurant row.

Michelle Wiles

Can't go wrong with the chicken tikka + saag paneer combo

Acacia

Not only was the food amazing but I have very annoying allergies and they specially made my dish! The waiters were really friendly and on top of everything. Highly recommend.

JJ Jones

Try the hot Phaal if you think you can take the heat! One of the hottest food I ever tasted!

Ben Mackey

Happy Hour 4-7pm Sunday-Wed and after 11pm on Thurs-Saturday. Cheap draft beer , wine and cocktails .

The Corcoran Group

If you have a strong constitution, try the Phaal – an excruciatingly hot curry . Otherwise, the Chicken Tikka Masala is a safe bet, paired with Sesame Naan .

Kathryn Phillips

Always delicious. Can't go wrong with any dish. Great lunch deal as well .

Gansevoort Hotel Group

Our favorite casual and laid back indian spot in the whole city . This place is the real deal - think less frills and more explosive flavors.

Chez Ong

Best lunch in the area. Great ambiance. Friendly staff . Awesome for dinner too!

Sarah Dittmore

Often need a reservation to get in, but it's some of the best Indian food in NYC. Don't miss the naan .

Miruna Dumitriu

The buffet was great! Lots of good food for just $10. The cheapest bill we've had so far in NYC

Delicious! The chicken korma was perfection. A little pricey but the quality was worth it!

Grace Ladyecua

Great food, ambiance and service! I must return to try more dishes!

Lunch buffet was great value . Nothing special but still delicious - and filling of course.

Kevin Jacoby

The Vindaloo is amazing. It's also incredibly spicy . If you want to sweat, I highly recommend it.

William H

The best Indian place on 6th Ave. Brunch buffet is an especially good deal .

Delicious food and nice people. The atmosphere is endearing.

Barton Smith

I've never come across Rosemary Nan before. A delicious and unique take.

For a taste of the hot and savory, try the London-style Indian food from Brick Lane Curry House in the trendy East Village .

Dana D

Regardless if you fall for Phaal, the spice is always nice here.

Lori Luo

Spice-addicts will want to opt for the phaal curry challenge, but the poor quality of all other dishes is a drawback to the first visit.

Beware of the phaal sauce! Although very good, only for expert Indian foodies.

Lunch buffet is a great deal but they had only one meat dish (chicken ) and were very slow to bring it out.

Peter Fasano

British style Indian food at its best!

Travis Ramsey

Garlic stuffed nann has too much garlic . Liked sesame nan a lot
