    Was passing by and seeing this feel like I need to check out and see what they cooks and how delicious it is, So am having chicken fajitas for lunch, who else would like to

    Lamb Vindaloo Saag Paneer
    Michael K.

    Solid lunch spot in FiDi that has sustained Covid and continues to deliver. Service is quick and portions are adequate while overall quality and taste of food is above average. Continues to be in my rotation of places for a quick lunch when downtown. Lamb Vindaloo is outstanding with Saag Paneer and Garlic Naan always a good compliment. Recommended.

    Chicken curry and palak paneer lunch special for $11.

    Ok folks. So this is my third time here. First and second visits you can read all about. I'm not ashamed to say I wasn't too impressed. Today I decided to venture in as I was craving some spicy Indian food and today they delivered! I ordered the meat and veg lunch special for $11 and asked the server what the spiciest dish was. He recommended the lamb vindaloo and I had wanted to try their okra so got that as my veg dish along with a naan. Both were delicious and hit the spot. He even gave me a couple of green chilies on the side as I told him I like my food spicy. So give this place a try folks. The food still isn't blow you away amazing...but I intend to try a few more dishes over time to give a more balanced review. They are welcoming and accommodating and their chai is delicious! Great little spot for a quick bite!

    My husband and I stumbled across this gem right after getting off of the ferry, and oh my God it was amazing. Food was authentic and the spices just blend together so wonderfully. Not over powering at all. Most importantly, the service was the best, I almost felt as if though I was being serviced by a family member because of the attention to detail and recommendations. Our waiter Christopher was outstanding! As vegans, we don't always have the easiest time finding random places, so this was amazing to experience.

    Below par food, service isn't great, wait time to get dishes is super high and prices are sky high at this place. Ambiance is ok. Highly not recommended. They won't even serve water when you are dinning

    Chana Masala Chatpati Bhindit

    This food did not miss!!! Needed to find something quick right by my hotel & was pleasantly surprised to stumble upon this restaurant. I came during lunch and they have lunch specials ranging $10-13. BIG portions of food and everything tasted so good!!! I would eat here three times a day if I could. I've had Chana Masala before so I knew what to expect. The Chatpadi Bindhi was something new for me and I'm not a big fan of okra but this dish is very rich in flavor!! They have a wide selection of vegetarian options. I'll have to come back but it's so worth it!!

    Chicken Tikka Masala, Tandoori Mix Vegetable Platter (Lunch Special)
    Bridget M.

    Delicious food! Chicken was so tender and the dish was flavorful. I got the lunch special (one meat entree, one vegetable entree, one bread) for 13.95. I chose chicken tikka masala entree and tandoori vegetables. For the bread I chose to pay $1 extra for the garlic naan (vs plain naan). Highly recommend these choices!

    This was a pleasant, unexpected surprise. I popped in for a quick late lunch yesterday around 2:45pm. I work about a block from here, and Bombay's is a bit under the radar compared to other nearby establishments, including most of the ones on its own block - Fraunces Tavern and Dead Rabbit on the other side on Water Street are nearby neighbors. I'm not sure exactly what I was expecting when I walked in, but it was definitely much more casual than I assumed from the exterior. It's one step up from self-service buffet style, and they were expecting mine to be a to-go order - there is no wait service here, nor is it needed. It's very no-frills, and gives off almost an ethnic fast food vibe. If you're looking for a formal white tablecloth experience, this isn't it. The guy manning the food counter was very helpful/informative without being condescending. Indian food is not my wheelhouse, and I'm not ashamed to claim ignorance in that regard. Without my having to ask a lot of questions, he picked up on my lack of knowledge and immediately offered a few free samples so I could figure out which meats went best with my palate. I opted for their two meat/side of naan lunch special, which came to about $16 or $17. I have to think chicken tikka masala is the best known of the mainstream Indian dishes or close to it; it's one I've actually had before and enjoyed - that was an easy call. My initial second selection was a lamb dish that the guy immediately cautioned was spicy, and he offered me a quick nip to confirm. I could have handled it theoretically, but it was a LITTLE too much for my palate. Instead I opted for the curry chicken. I was again given the caveat that most of that dish had bone in it, but when I demurred and asked if I could double up on the tikka masala, he immediately told me he'd just give me the boneless chunks of the breast meat instead. Very pleasant fellow, and a significant part of the positive experience overall. I loved the chicken tikka masala. It was honestly one of the better versions I've had, with a sauce that was just the right balance of milkiness and tomato. In both chicken dishes, the meat was juicy, tender and flavorful. I wasn't as crazy about the curry sauce - it was a little too bland, which is rare for me to say when it comes to Indian food. So in the future, I'd probably just steer clear and zero in again on the tikka masala. For my naan side, they let me have the garlic one, which was very scrumptious. Not the best I've had, but solid overall - not as airy and crispy as I usually like it, but it was devoured promptly nonetheless. The service was excellent for what it was. Again, you didn't have a waiter involved in the meal, so my experience was limited to the fellow behind the food display and the guys over on the other side prepping the naan. Beyond the informative guidance provided by the gentleman with the meats, I thought it was kind of sweet that the two cooks over at the naan station profusely apologized for the wait on the garlic naan, which amounted to...maybe 30 seconds. Clearly high standards on the turnaround. This is a little pricey for a super casual, fast food-type experience, even for the area. As a result this probably won't be a regular spot but I can certainly envision myself being a repeat customer in the not-too-distant future.

With that in mind, I don't say this lightly: this restaurant delivers the best Indian food I have ever had. The highlight of the evening was, without question, the lamb chops. Perfectly cooked, exquisitely spiced, and unbelievably tender--they were quite simply the best I have ever tasted. Every bite was a masterclass in balance and flavour, elevating a familiar dish into something truly unforgettable. What makes this place exceptional goes beyond the food alone. The service was warm, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful--striking that rare balance between professionalism and personal connection. From the moment we arrived to the time we left, every detail was handled with care and pride. The ambiance only added to the experience: elegant yet welcoming, with an atmosphere that encourages you to relax and fully savour the moment. It felt less like dining out and more like being hosted. In every respect--food, service, ambiance, and that all-important personal touch--this restaurant operates at a world-class level. A truly outstanding experience and one I will be returning to again and again.

Before leaving, we confront the owner about the inconsistencies in his story, but he just double downs on his lie, alleging that we don't understand how a restaurant is run. For some reason, he even started to yell at the busgirl who was trying to get him to apologize? In addition to holding us hostage for an hour and continued lying, he tries to make the racist point that Indian food is more sophisticated and takes longer to prepare than other types of Asian food. I feel there are certain standards in the NYC service industry given the competition, and this was a confusing and unacceptable experience. The food was admittedly good, but not good enough for them to have the attitude they had.

However, we never really got to it, having been busy exploring the Semmas and Bungalows of the city. On a cold Saturday evening my partner and I decided to give Indian Accent a shot - got rather last minute reservations over the phone. They were kind enough to accommodate us for a 7 pm slot, and once we got there we were seated immediately. We chose the four course menu, and found each course to be better than the one before! The shorba (soup) and garlic kulcha amuse bouche was a nice touch to get things started - loved the tiny terracotta mugs. Proceeded onto the shakarkandi chaat and the chilly pork roti - the former reminding me of the delectable street food in Delhi winters with the latter being a very good Indian rif on birria tacos. The star of the show for me was the Tofu medu vada - so unique and flavorful and melt in the mouth! I've not had anything quite like it before. My partner had the wagyu kebab that he said was excellent! For mains we had the chicken malai and the paneer - both tasty, but by this point we were already so full, and had to get most of the mains to go. But because there's always room for dessert, for our final course we scarfed down doda barfi with ice-cream and sticky toffee banana pudding - both of which were finger licking delish! Our service was great too - Ty our server was so nice and had the best recommendations. I'd have never gone for the tofu medu vada among all the other options and he urged me to, and it really turned out to be the highlight of my meal. The cocktails were good too. All in all, I think this is such a nice upscale Indian dining spot for a night out in the city. Having tried most of the other trending newer spots, i think Indian Accent sits right among the top! I'd highly recommend and cannot wait to be back!

Surprisingly quiet for a Saturday. $46 for a 2-course brunch is a great deal for an elevated meal, especially since the two courses come with a side ("accompaniment"). Quick heads up if you've been to the original in New Delhi, while they share a name, the New York experience pales in comparison. New Delhi is a full tasting menu with bold, unique flavors and presentation. New York is much more westernized, a fusion fit for the American palate. Service was consistent throughout, though not the most helpful when it came to menu questions - don't expect much guidance if you're trying to decide between dishes. They start you off with a tiny mug of pumpkin soup, creamy and delicious. The burrata comes as a big ball of cheese with crispy lotus root for scooping. The dal with naan as your accompaniment is a generous portion and the dal is beautifully flavored. The tawa paneer has a lovely presentation but the flavor didn't stand out. Coorg black pork was moist and paired perfectly with the cracklings. Best part of the meal was the Truman Bazaar cocktail - Truman vodka, suze, and tomato foam. Sweet, bitter, and spicy all at once - a genuinely unique combination.
