My niece wanted to try Indian food for the first time and this was a well known restaurant close…read moreby. The restaurant is right on Atlantic Avenue and there is parking in front. When you enter, there are two seating areas. We were a party of 4, so we sat in the larger area. We were seated right away. Our server was very nice and kept checking in on us to see if we enjoyed the food or needed anything else. The menu is extensive. There is something for everyone. One of the reasons I chose this place. The food is delicious and they give you ample food. You won't leave hungry and will have enough for leftovers. We ordered the wings, butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, shrimp vindaloo, Rogan Josh, and shrimp biryani. The wings could use more seasoning/salt but otherwise everything else was great. The biryani is delicious and had a good amount of large shrimp. If you order it spicy, you won't be disappointed. Goes well with the vindaloo. The Rogan Josh, I ordered it medium spicy and it was the spicy level was perfect and not overpowerful. The naan were really good as well. We ordered the garlic and rosemary garlic one. They only serve beer and wine for alcoholic drinks. The prices are average. I definitely will be coming back to try more dishes. My niece really enjoyed her first experience trying Indian food. Come here if you want some good Indian food with so many options.

One of Rockville Centre's newest restaurants, Punjabi Bites has only been open for a few months,…read morebut it's already serving some seriously impressive Indian cuisine. We started with the Dahi Puri, and it was the perfect introduction to the meal. Crispy, airy shells packed with creamy yogurt, sweet and tangy chutneys, and fresh herbs. Every bite was an explosion of flavor and texture. The Lahori Chicken was rich, aromatic, and layered with bold spices. The chicken was incredibly tender, soaking up every bit of the velvety curry that had just the right amount of heat. The Chicken Saag was pure comfort. Succulent chicken simmered in a silky, flavorful spinach sauce that was creamy without feeling heavy. No Indian feast is complete without bread, and the garlic naan was warm, buttery, and loaded with fresh garlic. The aloo paratha arrived topped with generous pats of butter (or ghee) with a savory, well seasoned potato filling. It had an unexpected heat that caught me by surprise, but I definitely wasn't mad about. Served alongside cool, creamy raita it was the perfect balanced to the warm spices. Every dish complemented the next, making this one of those meals you can't stop thinking about. If you haven't been to Punjabi Bites in Rockville Centre yet, add it to your must try list. You won't regret it.

Stopped for lunch while in town. Glad we did…read more Just amazing. Coming from Queens had lunch here and it was worth the stop and will def return. Restaurant was clean and beautiful, service was impeccable and food was authentic and delicious. Must get chicken saag curry, perfectly seasoned, salmon curry cooked to perfection and start with the garlic shrimp and the onion bhaji. Both fresh and delicious. BYOB so you can drink your fav and service is great. Def worth the trip. Will def be returning even from Queens with an Indian restaurant on every block.

We ordered the curry chicken, tikki masala and Papadum. The tikka masala was amazing; the flavor was so good and rich. The same for the Curry Chicken; the meat was tender. I also enjoyed the papadum. Since the first order, ive ordered several times. I recommend Tandoori Grill!

I brought my parents here to try Indian food for the first time, and I was nervous for two reasons…read more- (1) my parents are conservative eaters and I was afraid they wouldn't like it, and (2) I myself had never eaten at this restaurant before. Either way, I was nervous they wouldn't have a good meal. But I held my breath and hoped that the reviews I'd read beforehand were accurate. For the most part, they were. The garlic naan was incredible. My parents went silent when they first tried it, then quietly maneuvered the basket toward themselves while leaving rice for the rest of us. The chana masala and chicken tikka masala were also spot on - rich, saucy, and flavorful. Our salmon tandoori announced its own arrival to our table as big chunks of delicate meat on a sizzling platter. The larger pieces weren't completely cooked through, but we just let them sit on the hot flatware for a minute or two more. Spice babies, beware. We requested 'mild' as the spice level for all our orders because medications have changed my mom's sensitivity to spice. Even then, the heat crept invisibly onto her palate. "I don't know where it's coming from," she said, fanning her mouth. Even as a spice lover, I could detect there a thrum of baseline spice in most of our meals. You might want to temper the spice the way we did - by ordering a mango lassi. I've yet to meet a mango lassi I didn't like, Punjab's included. Here, they include a drizzle of something jammy along the sides of the glass. I didn't think it necessary (the lassi by itself is already fantastic!), but great for those who like their drinks sweet and photogenic. Inside, the restaurant space feels like what I'd call 'upscale casual'. It's nice - in fact, it's a lot nicer than a lot of Indian restaurants I've been in. But it's not the kind of 'nice' that makes you feel like you can't grab a meal here in your sweatpants. There's no dedicated parking lot, but there are a good number of spots along the nearby side streets (just pay attention to street signs that designate no parking days and times).

Four of us went for an early dinner on Sunday. We all absolutely loved it! The staff are really…read morenice and the portions are large. Most importantly, the food is excellent. I see where others have written that even the mild can be too spicy, but we didn't at all find that to be the case. We got garlic naan for the table (great!) and also cheese naan (I didn't like that as much, but my sister loved it). I got the lamb tikka masala and have only good things to say about it. I don't remember ever having lamb so tender. Oh and we got the mango lassi with raspberry sauce, which was unusual and tasty. We'll definitely be back to try more dishes.

We came on a Friday night at 6:30pm. One spot left in the parking lot. We entered the restaurant…read moreand one table was eating and another was just sat, looking like deer in headlights. No one greeted us so the people without food said "we think you just sit yourself" So we did. And we waited. A few minutes later another couple came in and did the same thing we did - popped their heads in, confused as to whether this was an actual restaurant or just a live play of people sitting at tables with no food and no menus and no staff in sight. Finally a frazzled young man came out from the kitchen and yelled "it's just me working, it's only me!" That was all we needed to know about this restaurant and we booked it out there. As we were leaving the parking lot we noticed the other people were also leaving. I have no idea what was actually going on. Why was it only one non-Indian person working on a Friday night? I was excited to try Mango but this experience really soured me. We went to Atithi in Hicksville instead and had an authentic, delicious meal. I would not recommend Mango.

I was really impressed with the high ratings for this restaurant...until I realized that most of…read morethe high ratings were from non-Indian patrons. So, I automatically lowered my expectations before going to Mango. We are, after all, in Long Island. My expectations were correct. The food here is very Americanized; extremely mild flavors (bordering on bland). I also ordered my entree "spicy" but what I received was very mild (both in flavor and spiciness). On a positive note, customer service and hospitality was very warm and friendly. The restaurant was decorated very nicely and was very inviting. Parking is available in the shared lot in front of the restaurant but the spots are limited. Mango does have a large menu with a nice variety of dishes. I just wish the food was prepared more authentically. Bolder flavors would do wonders for Mango!

Both times we walked in without a reservation and got seated easily. There's also a nice bar area that adds to the charm. We ordered Tandoori Paneer Tikka and Papdi Chaat to start -- both were flavorful and delicious. For the main course, we had Garlic Naan (soft and garlicky) with Baingan Bharta, which had that perfect smoky, roasted taste. Ended our meal with Gulab Jamun, soft and sweet just right. They also have a banquet hall for small events -- I once saw an Indian celebration happening there, which was a nice touch. Overall, amazing food, great service, and lovely ambiance -- a place worth revisiting!

Service was great and the food was delicious! Portions are a bit on the small side, but still filling. Okra fries were so yummy and different as an appetizer. We also had the classic chicken tikka masala (well seasoned and not too heavy), chicken malai kebab (super soft and tender!) and baigan bharta (delish!). The cherry on top was they made a small turkey and sides for anyone in the restaurant to share so we still got to have some yummy Thanksgiving food on the side of our meal (and I got my stuffing fix which was the only thing I was missing that day!).
