Had a really enjoyable lunch at Tera Mera. The highlight was the daily khichadi, which had such a…read morewarm, homey quality to it. The vegetables, lentils, and rice were balanced and comforting, and it really tasted homemade in the best way. The summer salad was also lovely, and the pani puri was decent. Service was warm, and the atmosphere was relaxed, with nice outdoor seating in the back. Just note that you pay at the counter when you order. Great lunch spot overall, and I hope to return for dinner.

We had dinner for two here last night and overall had a solid experience, with a few things that…read morecould be improved. We chose bar seating, which ended up being a bit of a tight squeeze facing the wall; not the most comfortable setup, but manageable for a short meal. To start, we had the pani puri, followed by the samosa chaat. The flavors were good, but the samosa chaat was a bit of a letdown. It wasn't served hot, and the samosa itself was soggy rather than crisp. That contrast in texture is really what makes the dish shine, so it felt like it may have sat a bit too long or was over-sauced. We also tried the vegetable pav, which was decent, and the cod, which was actually very good; nicely cooked with a flavorful sauce. I did find myself wishing we had an extra roti to soak up the rest. For drinks, I had the mango lassi, which I appreciated for not being overly sweet. Service was okay but could be more attentive. My water wasn't refilled after a couple of rounds, and we felt a bit rushed toward the end of the meal. We were given the check without being asked about dessert, which caught us off guard. We did ask afterward, but by then decided to go elsewhere. That said, the food overall is flavorful, and I can see why this place has appeal; especially if you're looking for something a little different in the neighborhood. Having met the owner before in Industry City, it's great to see her doing well in Carroll Gardens, and I wish the restaurant continued success.

My husband has recently given Indian food a chance (thank God!) but have found it challenging to find a place with both great food and ambience. I'm sure it exists but we just haven't found it yet. So you can imagine how elated I was when we came to Namaste. Immediately noticed it was a charming atmosphere so of course I assumed the food would be...meh. But I was pleasantly surprised that both the food and the ambience were excellent! And we all agreed so wasn't just me. Only bummer is it's 3k miles away from us! Will be coming again the next time we visit our daughter.

The young woman who serves us is a real sweetheart--authentically caring and humble. The fresh meals outshine the small unpretentious space that isn't out of character for 3 Ave. Customers and deliverers stream in and out picking up orders--a strong sign of the meal quality. The heat was substantial, and the dining area stayed warm last weekend (January) when it was freezing outside, despite the frequent door opening. They don't serve brown rice, but do have plenty of vegan dishes for health conscious diners.

I recently visited again and unfortunately they made the menu more mainstream I guess to attract more clientele. It was nothing like the original and I really miss the original menu. Even the spice level was so mild compared to the opening.

We paid by credit card and we assumed that our Server Gabe C. was charging us the Restaurant Week price. Instead, he charged us for each course, including for dessert, which we didn't even order (there was only one dessert on the Restaurant Week menu). We didn't notice until we got home that we had paid the full price for all of the items, including the dessert. WE EACH ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT THE RESTAURANT MULTIPLE TIMES VIA EMAIL AND TELEPHONE, BUT THE RESTAURANT NEVER RESPONDED. I attempted to have my credit card company assist me with the dispute, but the restaurant claimed that since I had paid the full price, they were not responsible. Oh course, I should have looked more closely at the bill before I paid, but most restaurants would have acknowledged their error, apologized, and reimbursed us for the overcharge. But these are truly, terrible, arrogant people. They also own Damaka, Selma, Adda, Kebabwala, Rowdy Rooster, Naks, Sanwits, Biryani Bol, so I would steer clear of these places also.

The service was kind and attentive, a little humorous too. The waiter said thank you a lot, which made us giggle involuntarily. Samosa chaat was divine! Really hitting all the tastes: sweet, tangy, spicy, warm Portion was enough to share Chicken Saag Tikka : this dish was lovely. Despite the chicken being shrouded by the saag it was the star of the dish. The chicken tasted freshly prepared and tender! Naan was as expected, fresh and fluffy. With limited south Asian options in my neighborhood, I really don't mind the trip to Tikka!

A few months ago, the longtime occupant of this space (a mediocre sushi place that we loved…read morenevertheless) shuttered, and Dastaan moved in. Since then, we've dined in, and taken out, and the food has been unfailingly delicious. If you can swing it, dining in is always the move. Unlike the aforementioned sushi joint, Dastaan has decorated to make the small space much more colorful, and infinitely more welcoming. It seems to be a family business, judging by the somewhat surly (teenage?) waitress, but she was still there for anything we needed. Plus, you'll get some complimentary papadum with homemade tamarind and green sauce. But either way, the food will be good. The naan is fresh and fluffy, the poori is delightful (this airy goodness is dine-in only, I'd imagine), the lasuni gobi starter is one of my favorite things, and the curries are all deeply rich and flavorful. We've had korma, bhuna, and saag, with seafood or chicken or paneer or lamb. We've of course had chicken tikka masala and butter chicken (I'd prefer dark meat in the latter for taste and juiciness, but I imagine I'm in the minority). All of it has been super, super tasty. One of my kids is coming around to the fact that Indian food can be amazing, the other will only eat rice and mango lassi. But Dastaan gives me hope that some day they'll crave it like I do. We're going to keep coming in, and taking out.

The iconic songs from your childhood play in in the background. We were greeted by a friendly host and seated promptly. The vibes were 10/10 We were feeling peckish for some apps, so ordered the misal pav and chicken Koliwada. Both were equally good, the spice level was perfect for me, but a bit on the hotter side for my husband (you can order less spicy if you'd like) the chicken for me, was the star of the show! It was perfectly seasoned and crunchy! I would 100% be coming back to try their mains, such a good hidden gem!

The food here transported me. We ordered a number of appetizers, the butter chicken and Lamb Biriyani, and breads. Each dish was cooked, spiced, and presented with care and - you could tell- love of the dish. It felt like I was at a five star restaurant in the middle of Mumbai or Delhi (or London), not on 5th Avenue in Park Slope. The menu is a mix of classics and regional dishes, and is not super extensive (if you are looking for the 10 page New York Indian restaurant menu this is not the place). The prices are good, especially for the area and the quality of the ingredients. If you really love Indian food and feel like your craving can't be addressed without a 16 hour + plane ride, or if you've never had the chance to experience a truly good Indian meal, then visit Pangat immediately!

Lamb was decent but on the fatty and rare side. Service was good though - we reserved bar seating since that was the only availability but was able to switch to a table. I'd give them another shot to try other dishes if another inkind promo comes up.

I am writing this review still fuming from an awful experience with two women working tonight…read more(10/25). In short, we ordered chicken tikka masala and garlic naan through Uber Eats but then received the entirely wrong order an hour later. We got the got the issue corrected with Uber Eats, and I called the restaurant to ask that they remake our order for which we would pick it up and pay for it in person. The main woman who was assisting asked me where the incorrect order was as she claimed it is a requirement that we bring the wrong order back to the restaurant to be issued a full refund (?). I said I was not made aware that we had to do this, and furthermore, I know that based on hygienic food practices, they should be trashing any food that goes to the wrong customers... especially since the food has now changed hands multiple times with a delivery driver and being in our home... She insisted that this was not true and that the food could be used to feed their employees, which may be the case, but again, this was not clear and I am skeptical of any restaurant who accepts back food that has been out of their sight for nearly 2 hours at that point. She and the other woman continued arguing with me on this - at one point insisting they will send their delivery driver back with me to pick up the food?! Absolutely not. I was feeling incredibly harassed at this point - and honestly between being hungry and pregnant, I communicated this and that this situation was stressful, but they were continuing to argue with me. The second woman started to dismiss me, even. I asked my husband to come in and take care of the bill because I had to remove myself from that situation, and I could see him through the window continuing to be berated by the main woman for her assumption that we would be trashing the food that was incorrectly delivered. (I never stated this, I did state that I am aware that restaurants have to throw this food out.) He confirmed that she was being just as argumentative with him. This is such a shame because Indian Spice was such a wonderful part of our experience when we last lived in Brooklyn, and based on this, I would never order from here again.
