    Not sure why this place has less than 5 star.. portions- BEEFY! Even if you don't get beef. I got a chicken curry dish recommended by the cashier and was pleasantly surprised by the serving size. The food came out within minutes of ordering, and the staff was kind and attentive. The ambience seems traditional, I went during the daytime, so there wasn't too many people inside.

    Great spot for a quick Indian lunch. Super affordable prices for their express lunch. You can order from their regular menu or you can head to the back of the restaurant and ordered their express lunch, which is what I did. I had the 1 meat and 1 vegetarian option, which comes with rice and naan. For the meat I had chicken vindaloo and I had channa marsala for the veggie option. Options look small but was decently filling. The naan was OK -- could've been more warm. I liked the chicken vindaloo but it tasted a bit different from what I usually taste from other restaurants. The sauce was definitely more on the vinegary side. Only reason I took off a star is because they automatically add tips to your total when you pay -- which is WAY above the standard 16-18%.

    Mango lassi

    My kid brother came from out of state & we went in Manhattan. It was almost 90 degrees, we were so tired & feeling hungry. So I googled & try to find a desi halal restaurant to eat. When I went inside only thing I liked was the paintings on the wall. The decor was kinda dull, maybe the business isn't good. But they definitely need to renovate & redecorate the restaurant. I was too tired to leave & try another restaurant! So decided to eat anyway. The price was high & the taste wasn't close at all. Me & my brother couldn't even finish our one chicken biryani. I had to bring the other chicken biryani at home. The chicken loly pop was ok. Only thing I liked is the lady who served us. Really nice & helpful. I appreciated her service a lot. Even my kid brother also gave her tip besides me. I hope rest of the food is better then what we tasted. Feeling real bad saying all this, maybe others will like it. For an Indian Halal restaurant, there was not much flavor. Probably the Chef will hate me after this, maybe I should remove my pictures from the reviewBut it is what it is! I was dissatisfied! My brother did mentioned that he liked the mango lassi. That's a plus point

    Banana pakora

    This is one of a few Indian places in the area. A lot of reviews appear to be be complaining here about service charges or some other stuff not even related to the food so the average here is probably a bit higher. Compared to most, they are more low-key with a good lunch special and a good dinner special for the area. Said dinner special for $22 comes with an appetizer, a main dish, a naan, and basmati rice. I got a sweet lassi to drink and it was fine. Less thick than some other spots but still tasty. My appetizer was the banana pakora. It came with 4 very large pieces and the banana inside was ripe and sweet so it was closer to a dessert and could likely be moved there without batting an eye outside of the mint chutney it came with. Someone had a Mulligatawny soup which was solid. The last person had one of the chaats I believe which was alright. My main dish was the crab curry which was surprisingly part of the special. I ordered it spicy and it was indeed spicy and good. Someone else got I believe a fish dish which I remember liking. The last person had tandoori chicken which was fine but not as good as Indian Table or Mint Heights. As my naan, I got the keema naan and it was hot and had a good amount of minced lamb though said lamb could have been more flavored. I tried the garlic naan which was tasty. The food here is a bit lower quality than at either Mint Heights or Indian Table but it's hard to argue with the lunch or dinner special here. They remind me of some of the hole in the walls in Murray Hill especially with the lunch special which reminds me heavily of Haandi. I wouldn't expect mind-blowing Indian food here but you get what you pay for here and some. Will be back for the lunch special. Mid 3.

    I asked for spicy tikka masala and it was not spicy at all and realized when I got home :/. Check your food before you leave in case you have a special request. Also my samosa was not cooked all the way :/ Even though the something's needed improvement the curry was still tasty!

    Fantastic dinner with amazing prices and huge portions! My mom and I ate here tonight and couldn't even finish our meals. Yum, yum!

    Lunch special here, and the price is not bad. I ordered the Chicken Tikka with two veggie. Potatoes & eggplants. Food is pretty good it has good flavor. Just wish they will give a little more chicken. It also comes with a naan which is very soft. I also ordered a Mango Lassi, it was really good. A must try. Definitely will go back again.

    I really wanted to eat here as it had been an eon. I had a vital appointment nearby, so I took my Uber here. Sadly, the street was closed so we had to get out a block away and walk. To our surprise, they were closed. I saw a fellow in the kitchen walking towards the door. Based on past experiences, I thought he was coming to let us in. Then someone else came up behind me and I apologized, greeted him, and moved out of the way. He went in, said nothing. Puzzled, we walked in and stood there, waiting to be seated. The man who entered before me came back out of the kitchen and just said "we arent ready yet" I apologized and asked if he wanted us to come back later. He said yes. I was surprised because they are usually so welcoming here, and I fully expected to be invited to sit down until they were ready. I figured it must be great to have customers waiting when you open. We went back outside but it was freezing. I'm disabled and had no coat since I Ubered here to get some blood sugar before going to Social Security. My caretaker had brought me here but had to be on a conference call the whole time, so without a place to sit, we had to eat elsewhere. I hope to randomly end up back here someday, but probably wouldn't rely on it for a crucial meal before medical appointment. I don't want to say anything bad about them because they've always been wonderful, but calling it a neutral visit is being overly kind. we stood outside, disabled, no coat, for 2 hrs due to unexpectedly being rejected from our first choice. sad

    Shrimp Tandoori Masala
    Su H.

    Y'all... I ordered this with 4 friends who all got the chicken tikka masala and I had the shrimp tandoori masala. We were shocked because we've never had Indian curry that was so bland/dilute. It really felt like we were eating soup... It was extremely disappointing. I really think this place needs to change the chef or recipe because something is definitely off. The curry should be thicker and have more flavor. My curry specifically felt like shrimp and onion soup. So many onions. Please season your food... The best part was the garlic naan. That is always good. But if you're going to charge $20+ per curry dish, please check its quality before sending it out.

    During the 'New Normal' this is a spot my partner and I recommended if you are looking for indian food. Currently they are not open for inside/outside dining but they do offer takeout and delivery. Personally I recommend trying out the two-course deal option. It includes most of the appetizers and main courses and will make sure to provide enough food for dinners and next day's lunch. I ordered the Kachori Chaat and my partner had the Aloo Rikki, both were a first for us and neither disappointed with a nice blend of sweet and savory. My partner continued with the tandoori bbq chicken for entry while I had the Tikka Masala. The chicken was a bit dry but the lamb was delicious especially when dipping the naan bread in the sauce

    I've never eaten inside but I've ordered and picked up many many times! The is definitely my go to indian restaurant. I've tried other places and they never too this one!

However, sometimes you just take a chance and pray it lives up to the hype. Having a short period of time before our show at Radio City Music Hall, two of us shared a quick bite here after a few snacks on the nearby street fair. Just one order of Chicken Tikka Marsala, Garlic Naan, and a Mango Lassi. I'm actually not a big fan of Chicken Tikka Marsala because it's often too sweet and creamy for me. Though the chicken was overcooked, I did find this version quite differernt, in a good way. It had depth, and definitely a lot of heat, even on the medium level, the spiciness was very noticeable. My dining partner would have died without that Mango Lassi, which was yummy. Lmao On the other hand, the Garlic Naan was horrible. Instead of being a pillowy soft bread with some chew, it was stiff and cardboard-ish. This is one of the worst versions I had in NYC. Not sure how this major blunder can be overlooked. Naan is such an important part of Indian food culture, I can't believe they haven't realize that they need to fix this matter. Btw, service was efficient, almost too efficient that it felt rushed. One minute after we were seated, we were asked if ready to order. Again, we were asked literally one minute later. Then, just as we were finishing our meal, and while I'm still chewing my final bite of food, the bus boy cane to take our plates away. I was technically done, but would have like to have had a minute. Finally, without asking about desserts, another server came by with our check as if to say, "Please pay and make room for the next guests." I know we wanted a quick meal, but never thought we would be in and out of a situation down restaurant in less than 30 minutes. Hahaha Anyway, I live in Queens where we have same quality Indian restaurants at a much lower price point. Portions are bigger too. For me, this is an attempt at finding a gem that everyone seems to suggest. Unfortunately, it's hard for me to return to an Indian restaurant knowing they can't properly make naan.

Because of its location, it may appear unassuming and underrated, but the food is bold, spicy, flavorful, and packed full of rich cultural elegance. On my first visit, I was able to try a few different dishes, both veg and non-veg, as well as one of their signature cocktails. We ordered to start the Kale Pakora Chaat (fried kale, tamarind chutney, with a sweet yogurt) and it was perfectly crispy, flaky, and delicious. Next, for main dish we ordered the Paneer Methi (fried paneer in a fenugreek and tomato blend) and I honestly can never complain when it comes to any paneer dish and I have to say this one was absolutely no exception. The paneer was so soft and tasty with the sauce and other spices that I couldn't help but feel like I was eating a home cooked meal. Lastly, I ordered the Shami kebab because I wanted to try a non veg dish. This item consists of lamb, minced and blackened, paired with a green chili sauce with mint. I have to say this was a complete miss for me; the lamb was so dry and mealy I couldn't finish it at all, on top of that it had too many spices and was a bit salty in my opinion so I needed a lot of water. I would seriously consider altering this dish before keeping it on the menu in its current state or removing it completely. If you're thinking of ordering this, I wouldn't recommend it as I'm sure they have other protein dishes on their menu that are far better. I'm looking forward to trying some of the others the next time I go. Lastly for cocktails, we ordered the Monsoon wedding (Indian gin, lychee, curry leaf, and lime). I thought the cocktail was alright, it didn't stand out too much to me as it was a fairly decent lychee drink that had a slightly muted flavor. I've noticed that Indian restaraunts often struggle to make good cocktails because too often they rely on mixing things that shouldn't really be mixed and adding unnecessary ingredients. Overall though, the time spent there was worth it and I appreciate that it's relatively easier to get a reservation here than at some of the other Indian spots in New York currently. Based on my experience, Dhamaka should be considered highly rated on that list.
