    Chana Masala chicken dum biryani Mango Lassi Garlic Naan Samosa (2 pcs)
    Angela Q.

    They hurt so good. We ordered samosas, chicken dum briyani, chana masala, garlic naan, and mango lassi. I ate till I was full and even then, i didn't want to leave the table and keep eating. i also needed to pee but was willing to stay there to keep eating.

    Chicken Tikka Masala

    I absolutely love Indian food and this spot was no exception! My friends and I had a DELICIOUS meal with 3 entrees and had so many leftovers I am on my 3rd meal of biryani!! The butter chicken was delicious and creamy--we asked for a medium level of spice on everything, and this was the least spicy dish. We had plenty of rice to put this over, and there was even more chicken than I expected in it! The tikka masala was amazing as well--I especially appreciated the pieces of peppers and onion on the sauce which I haven't seen often in this dish! My absolute favorite was the biryani. This was a good amount spicier than the other 2 dishes, and had an INCREDIBLE flavor! One of those that I NEED to have again, but can just tell so much went into it that I will not be recreating this dish on my own... I'll just have to come back for it! The chicken was SO juicy that we thought it was a different protein. I didn't think I'd like the egg on top, but this paired so well that I hard boiled some eggs at home to eat with my leftovers! This dish is so good and saves so well I plan to get one to go every time I'm able to stop in!! The overall vibe inside was larger than I expected--they made great use of the space for plenty of tables and booths. There must be a buffet at times, because a table was set up for this at the front of the shop. The service was great, and fast--very hands off as you would expect from an authentic spot like this. We got to meet the owner who was fantastic at giving us information about the menu/dishes we chose, and what went into the biryani when we gushed over this!! It was great to meet him and learn about what goes into the dishes they serve. I can't leave out the final dish we had which was the mango lassi dessert drink! This was the perfect way to end a spicy meal. This had a very sweet and real mango flavor, with plenty of creamy yogurt to tone down the spices. I only wish I could make this at home after eating all this biryani! I HIGHLY recommend stopping in if you haven't yet! The chicken biryani has quickly become my absolute favorite Indian dish in town!!!

    My friends and I tried Astoria for the first time tonight, and I can confidently say we will be back! We took the suggestion of getting chicken tikka masala, chicken biryani, and butter chicken, and all of them were so flavorful and just the right amount of spice! The service we received was excellent- great food and drink suggestions, attentive and friendly. I'm so pleased to have this restaurant near me!

    My husband and I ate lunch here today and it was amazing. The restaurant was homey and cozy. The service was great and the staff were friendly. The food was delicious and we had plenty for leftovers, even with lunch portions. Would definitely recommend eating here, it was great. We'll be back, for sure. Also, many vegetarian and vegan options!

    I ordered this on Christmas Day via DoorDash as it was one of the few restaurants open that day. The lamb biryani was quite flavorful and had a good kick to it. The chicken tikka on the other hand was decent but not as good. I felt like the gravy in the curry was a bit runny and not as rich/creamy as I would have liked. Also, extremely little meat in both the curry and the biryani. I also wished they had maybe put the containers in different bags or packaged differently because some of my curry had spilt in the bag when I received the delivery.

    Astoria continues to be our go to for Indian in Omaha. The food is very consistent and their curries are quite flavorful. Our favorites are lamb korma and butter chicken. The masala dosa is also very good. I do wish there was a little more meat included in the curry dishes, because they are sooo good. Probably the most tender lamb pieces I've had outside of India. The appetizers were good, but not as good as the main event. The mix grill was a fun change up...the tandoori chicken was definitely the fav here. The prices are pretty fair compared to other competitors in the area. They also have a fantastic Thursday takeout deal where you can mix and match certain entrees at a discount. We usually takeout because the ambiance dining in is a little lacking. Would love to hear some Bollywood music playing to set the mood. Unfortunately you only hear the people around you talking. Overall, this is a great option if you need your Indian fix.

    Astoria has become my favorite Indian restaurant in Omaha! I've tried many Indian restaurants in search of the perfect chicken tikka masala and have found it at Astoria. The creaminess is perfectly mixed with tomatoey sauce and is full of flavor and spices. The chicken is soft and tender as well. The butter naan dipped with the chicken tikka masala is so delicious! The best I've had. I usually get the vegetarian samosas for appetizer and the potato in is full of spices and flavor as well, goes perfectly with the mint chutney dipping sauce. The price is very reasonable and the service is great. Food comes out fast and piping hot..just how I like it! Highly recommend giving this place a try!

    Butter Chicken, cheese naan, vegetable samosa and basmati rice
    Anna H.

    This cozy authentic restaurant has some great food and it's fresh! The wait was 40mins but worth it. We ordered the butter chicken (medium spice level) tried the butter naan, cheese naan and garlic naan! Yum! The vegetable samosa was great but I didn't care for the chicken. Lastly topped everything off with a refreshing mango lassi.

    I have been looking for an Indian spot to fill the void Mother India left in my heart and this is it!!! All of the staff was so kind and helpful answering our questions. We went on a Wednesday night and there was maybe only one other table occupied so we have some work to do to get the word out! The Malia Kofta was phenomenal. Tons of bold flavor. Great texture on the balls. Definitely was enough sauce to take home a tub of left overs. The samosas were the best we've ever had. We had to order a second order. They were the perfect crispy texture and delicious flavor on the inside. Garlic naan was a great level of bold garlic. Comes with 4 pieces. I went with mild and it was more a mild/medium to me so warning for the heat adverse to ask for extra mild! I will be back to eat through the entire menu!

    I was seriously craving Indian food while visiting Omaha during Memorial Day weekend, and luckily,…read moreKarnali was the only Indian restaurant open nearby that day. We reached the restaurant around 3:30 - 4 PM for a late lunch, and there were a few people dining inside. The restaurant was very clean, the tables were well arranged, and the Indian music playing in the background gave the place a nice cozy vibe. We started with the tandoori chicken and then ordered garlic naan, butter chicken, and two chais for the main meal. The chicken was juicy and flavorful, but it was different from the typical restaurant-style tandoori chicken. It tasted more homemade with regular spices, without the bright red color or smoky restaurant flavor. Still, it was really good. The best part of the meal was actually the sauce served with the chicken. It tasted like a spicy tomato-onion gravy, almost similar to butter chicken sauce, and honestly, I wish the butter chicken we took later had been cooked in that same sauce because it was delicious. The butter chicken was tasty overall - rich and creamy, though the garlic naan could have been better. The naan felt a little too dry and could have used more butter. The chai at the end was ok because it had a bit too much spice and tasted more milky than tea. The service was decent as well. The server was friendly, but while taking our order he wasn't writing anything down and had to ask us to repeat a few things, so that was a little awkward. The food arrived in about 10 minutes, which was pretty quick. One thing to note is that we had to place the chai order along with the food because the server mentioned it takes around 15 minutes or more to prepare. I did feel that the pricing was slightly higher compared to the quality and portion sizes. The tandoori chicken was around $17 ,the butter chicken was about $19 and the Naans $4 each and chais were around $4 each, so the total came close to $55 + w tax or more. Personally, I don't think the food completely matched the pricing and was mediocre. Overall, I had a decent experience and really appreciate that they were open on Memorial Day because they definitely satisfied my Indian food craving. I would definitely recommend trying the tandoori chicken appetizer, especially with the sauce they serve alongside it. I would give the restaurant a solid 3 out of 5 stars.

It was a Thursday evening and not very busy. Only two other tables when we were there which really surprised me after tasting the food. They started out with the complimentary papadam with two different sauces a mint chutney and a brown sauce not sure what it is but both great. We started off with the naan bread basket and an another garlic cheese naan definitely didn't need more than the bread basket was a very large portion to split. All were very tasty the garlic was my favorite. I had the Karnali combo biryani which was awesome had the right heat I asked for spice wise and good amount of all the different meats. My wife got the mango masala which she really enjoyed and isn't always the biggest Indian food fan but she ate hers and ate the leftovers the next day as well. My aunt had chicken korma which she raved about as well. My mother tried the malai kofta she had only tried Indian food once many years ago and this experience confirmed she's not a fan and has a bad taste palette haha. I really enjoyed this dish as well and was happy to have the leftovers the next couple days. We ordered her some chicken tenders from the kids menu but those also had some seasonings more cumin I'd say and others that she didn't enjoy but our 14 month old really enjoyed. So if you have a very picky eater maybe go with one of the other kids options. The white creamy sauce that came with my biryani was also bursting with flavor and had a great cooling sensation. The man who served our table was very friendly and even played peek a boo with our baby from the register area. Place had a nice vibe and was very clean bathrooms included. Definitely will be back and you should go check out this spot!

The menu I received was a bit differently presented than the one online and was an odd read; it seemed to be trying to organize into themes of how dishes were cooked rather than their contents. But it was actually a bit challenging to find the staple dish I ordered, channa masala, as it was in tiny text under the wok section. I might rethink the menu design. There were some fairly detailed descriptions regarding special dietary needs. Service wasn't quite on point, as our server kept offering us a choice of salad that they did not have, and I ordered a chai and didn't get it (I was stuffed regardless). Substantively, however, the result was excellent. Their samosas specifically state they're made with red potatoes, and it feels like a bit of a local flavor twist on the classic (and indeed, despite their ubiquity in Indian cuisine, potatoes are of course an American plant). My channa masala had a robust flavor mix with visible whole spices and the chickpeas were relatively al dente and paired well with bread. There were other options, but their rendition of classics made for an enjoyable night.

    To be honest, I noticed this restaurant a couple years ago, but was dissuaded from trying it…read morebecause of the upkeep of the surrounding area. That was unfortunate. After a pop-up ad on DoorDash recently, I decided to look at the menu and was very excited to try them out. After running a couple errands, I decided to treat myself to take out, was in the area, and decided to take a chance. I'm glad I did!! Now, as a vegetarian, I love Indian food because there are so many options for me. There is one curry that I love but is generally only offered on chicken, sometimes it can be found with shrimp, but Maharaja offers all their curries with your choice of protein!!! That means I can get my sour sorrel leaf curry with either my choice of paneer cheese or they even offer tofu!!! I've never seen an Indian restaurant that offered tofu. Not only that - but when I asked about the medium spice level, the young lady waved her hand and said ehhh medium. I got spicy. I like spicy. This is truly spicy.!!! I'm in heaven!!! And there's a lot of paneer chunks in the curry. The race that comes with it is a fragrant rice instead of just a plain rice, which is nice. I also got the mixed basket Naan. The naan is interesting. It's like a very large, very thick tortilla - almost like a pizza dough texture. Not the light and airy from a super hot tandoori. Delicious but not the usual naan that I'm used to. The fruit naan made me happy because it didn't have the maraschino cherries that most of the restaurants seem to use. For my appetizer of course I got Samosa. The pastry is wonderful even after sitting and getting to room temperature. It's still a lovely texture. The potatoes inside are a little bit more mashed than I would like, but the flavor is amazing. I thought the cilantro-chutney sauce would be disappointing, but I was pleasantly surprised on that as well. Even though it looked thin and creamy, it actually had a lot of flavor, it was quite spicy, and had a nice hit of citrus that went very nicely with the samosas.

Everything was spiced beautifully and a lot of options can be made gluten free. My favorite bite was the mysore masala dosa and the paneer tikka masala. Everything was spiced beautifully.

I loved how there were so many options that were gluten free that I could enjoy as well. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side and a seat yourself sort of feel. We went around lunch time and got serviced in a timely manner. They did seem a bit understaffed, so give them a little grace went it comes to service. Overall, definitely a place I would go back to!
