    Walked in on a whim as we were debating what type of food to have for lunch. I was pleasantly surprised with the quick service and food turn around at this small yet spacious enough restaurant. To my surprise, they've been in service for approximately 20 years and all my years of walking in this area I've never noticed this restaurant and it was very happy with the outcome. We decided to try one of their different soups, I had the tomato soup and my mom had the lentil soup. Both soups were delicious as well as the papadum and condiments. From the main course, we decided to share a meal which was shrimp and curry sauce, and it was also delicious. We actually placed the order of vegetable Samosa as well as meat Samosa to go. The space is well lit bathroom is clean and the staff is friendly and attentive. We plan on returning here every so often when in the area.

    Stopped in at Alachi Masala on a Monday night for a solo dinner- it was perfect. The restaurant was warm and inviting, family run with great service. The food was delicious and quite a nice sized platter for the price.

    One word...DELICIOUS! I ordered the special - a combo plate of chicken tikka, chickpeas, fritters, rice and oh-so-fluffy naan with a side of raita to cool down all the umami spices. All for $20! This is the real deal. Do yourself a favor and check out Alachi Masala. You'll thank me later.

    I don't see a bar in any of the pictures or a listing of cocktails on the menu. Do they serve alcohol?

    Sorry it is a BYOB establishment We don’t charge any corkage fee !

    My husband and I were longtime fans of their sister restaurant (Moti Mahal) which recently closed…read more We saw that Baazi was offering Moti Mahal's menu, plus their own. We came and the food was ABSOLUTELY delicious - maybe even better than Moti Mahal! Fatima, our waitress was lovely, provided great recommendations from the menu and was particularly friendly to our two toddler daughters. The restaurant was clean and welcoming with an enjoyable ambiance. We made the trek from the Upper East Side and can't wait to come back! If you like Indian food, you'll LOVE Baazi!

    I had a Pulsd deal as I wanted to try this restaurant. Overall I enjoyed myself. I had 8pm…read morereservations on a Friday and it was not busy with only 2 other tables being occupied. The deal included an app, 2 entrees, dessert, and either 2 cocktails or bottle of house wine. We wanted a bottle of red and they only had a Pinot Noir as their only red. It was alright, clearly a $10-$12 retail price bottle. The best dish of the night was the app which was lamb chops. They were seasoned and cooked perfectly. We shared a goat dish and chicken korma. The goat was tasty but on the bone which wasn't mentioned on the menu. The korma was a bit bland. They only have 1 dessert so there was no options to choose from. Overall the food was good and service was very good. The portions were small for the price. I'm glad I used a Pulsd deal.

    Curry King is: -…read moreInexpensive - Authentic (to Pakistan and north India). I could easily imagine purchasing this food on the street in Delhi. - Low brow: Think fast-food style cooking for the middle / lower middle class masses in Pakistan and north India... or for broke college students in Manhattan. Ingredients are roughly cut and minimal, with cuts of meat that include all the bone, cartilage, and gristly bits. Seasoning is very bare bones, including only the minimum of what you need to make a dish what it is. You won't find the "luxury" of a cilantro garnish for instance. - Very oily : There'a a thick layer of oily orange tane on top of every dish, which you'll find at many eateries in north India. (I think tadka / spice tempered oil is a near equivalent in south India, though we've never seen tadka in such generous quantities, even at fast food type street vendors.) In our experience, food that's served at home in middle to upper class families isn't usually this oily. - Meaty: There are a sprinkling of vegetarian dishes available (along the lines of paneer or channa dal, bit little actual vegetable matter), and meat dishes tend to be meat only, or meat and potatoes only. We ordered this food by delivery and at home, we had to chop some cilantro to sprinkle over our food, and eat substantial salads alongside, so we wouldn't feel as though we would immediately die of heart attacks + scurvy. Maybe if I still had a college-aged kid's metabolism, I'd be able to eat this kind of food -- and maybe even drink a quarter of a keg while I'm at it. But now, I worry about heart attacks and scurvy and heart burn and ulcers. I grow old ... I grow old ... I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled. Going to leave this one to the young guns.
