    Chai
    Shreena P.

    Loved Fontys Deli & Dukhaan in the Village. Such a cute bodega-style spot with fun products and sauces to browse, plus seating in the back that made it a great place to hang for a bit. Good service and kid friendly. We got two veggie sammys -the breakfast sandwich and the Bombay. The breakfast sandwich was really tasty and a solid option, but the Bombay was definitely the standout. Super flavorful, loved all the veggies and the amul cheese. The chai was great too - the iced chai was perfect on a hot day. Only thing is I wish we realized they had a paneer nanini because we definitely would've ordered that too... but now we have a reason to come back :)

    Chicken tikka naanini

    Came to grab lunch on a weekday and there was no line. Chicken tikka naanini panini was amazing - definitely recommend that. Scissor wrap was also good but the naanini was the star. Nice amount of seating in the back, and they have a bathroom!

    TUNA MELT
    Prianka S.

    Tried the tuna sandwich and it was pretty good! Will be back to try more things on the menu.

    This sandwich had the potential to be the best sandwich I'd ever tasted, easily. However, it was lacking in the flavor department. It had flavor and it was okay but I was expecting bigger bolder flavors, and the price was wayyy too much. The portions are nice, though.

    Long line even on an extremely cold rainy day in nyc. I was really looking forward to trying out fontys but ended up being quite disappointed. The filter coffee and the Vada pav were huge let downs - and idk if it was just an off day or the flavors just missed the mark. I did like the naanini though - their take on an Indian tikka cheesy panini. Seems like they use amul cheese - this itself was worth the 25 minute wait out in the cold rain. I will be back to try out the chai and get the naanini again. I did also enjoy the different items on the shelf for sale. Give it a try on weekdays and get the naanini!

    Food: We tried the chai masala and chicken tikka naanini. The chai masala was excellent and one of the best I've ever had. It's served very, very hot (or iced) and has a strong chai flavor. The chicken tikka naanini was also very good - flavorful and warm with tender chicken meat. I would highly recommend both of these items. I look forward to returning to try their other sandwiches. Service: Staff were friendly and welcoming! Ambiance: This is a very small place with about six counter seats in the front of the shop and a small seating area in the back. The back has a homey feel with about five tables that seat 2-3 people each. Overall, I would highly recommend this place!

    Bombay
    Victoria L.

    Got the bombay and chicken tikka sandwich. Both very small for the price. They were OK tasting, bombay better than the chicken tikka. Service was good and nice that they have cute back area seating in addition to bar seating. Lots of merch and fun specialty products in store.

    I went here during July 4th weekend and there was barely a line! The service was very friendly and there are some cute little things available for purchase inside (which I did not purchase), from snacks to random little goodies. We ordered a Vada dog, the paneer tikka sandwich, and the Bombay sandwich and all of them were good! If you have had authentic Bombay sandwiches and Vada pav, these may be not be the best ones you've had but overall the flavor and taste were good! Definitely worth trying at least once.

    Meatball sub
    Susie D.

    Order the Bombay Sandwich (veg) and Meatball Sub at this cute deli. I would definitely get the Bombay sandwich again - it was juicy, yummy, and flavorful, but the meatball sub is a definite pass. The flavors were bland and not really balanced together. Ambiance is nice, cute and small, however it can do with more frequent cleaning. The light bulbs in the back of the room was also removed as well as from the bathroom which removed the charm and made it feel slightly unclean. Service was good overall.

    Chicken Tikka Panini
    Lynn N.

    I came inside for lunch on a Monday and had a good time! It was empty inside and I made convo with the workers. I asked them their favorite items and it was the chicken tikka panini, the tuna melt, and the meatball sub! I ordered the panini and it came out about 5-7 minutes after. There is a cute seating area in the back where I enjoyed my meal. The chicken tikka panini was crispy and warm, with just the perfect amount of spice! It is a good take on traditional Indian cuisine, and I will come back when I crave similar items!

    Another long line out the door, in which I will partake. In general, it is a very small shop, but it is large for where it is located. The seating is limited and the "kitchen" is cramped, so expect your order to take a while. They have a complimentary drink at the entrance while you wait. I am no expert on Indian cuisine, but my experiences with it usually encompass plenty of spices, flavor, aroma, and heat. I noticed the majority of the crowd ordering the Bombay Sandwich, and that seems to be the consensus on the internet. My take is that the sandwich was rather bland. Everything in the sandwich looked right, but it was lacking something. Perhaps it was a spicy option, as they only use bell peppers. Perhaps it needed a real protein rather than potatoes. Perhaps I need to continue my search elsewhere.

    I am a huge fan of this spot. It is very cozy vibes with a few tables in the back to sit and enjoy your food. I went on a weekday and it was pretty quiet at 3pm so I was able to snag a table. The deli has a great variety of products to browse and some of them brought back the childhood nostalgia growing up in a South Asian home. I got the scissor wrap and it was fabulous. Every bite was full of flavor. The masala chai was also perfect. I could see myself becoming a regular if I lived closer. The staff was also great at breaking down the menu.

    came on a friday for lunch and there was no line or crowd just the way i like it my friend and i split 3 different sandwiches to get a taste of it all: bombay, eggplant, and paneer bombay sandwich was good but we needed a side of chutney to really hit home skip the eggplant, enough said the paneer sandwich was the best one by far but frankly didnt have any flavors i couldnt make myself or that felt special. was a solid sandwich but was looking forward to something a bit more flavorful. they have a small area of seating in the back which was nice since a friend and i were catching up def would recommend since its quick and solid spot for food

    Great service and good …read more Love the poppadums are more UK style than usual US papads . I opted for Chicken Tikka Masala with plain naan and rice . Rice comes with the meal .

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.

The Mutton Dhungar (smoked) and Chicken Hari Mirch Kurma were outstanding gravies--perfect with hot chappatis.

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.

    Best Indian food I've had in a long time and I go to London and Hyderabad frequently…read more The samosa was literally the best samosa I've had in my life. The chicken tikka masala was very good and the lamb vindaloo was fire. Spicy as heck but not insanely so. The naan was a bit thick. We ordered way too much rice because the DoorDash menu didn't make it clear that our mains came with rice.

    Sathi - 216 3rd Ave, NYC…read more This small, charming spot is absolutely worth a visit! The staff keeps things moving quickly, making the wait fast and efficient. Their freshly made food is incredibly delicious! The chicken masala is silky smooth, and the naan bread is made fresh to order--soft, chewy, and perfectly flaky on the outside. Every bite is heavenly! My personal favorites are the fresh naan, crispy rice bread (similar to Vietnamese rice crackers), and especially the shrimp dish! The shrimp is tender, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. For the best experience, enjoy everything at the restaurant while it's still hot and fresh from the kitchen--it's even better! Cash and cards accepted. I also love their complimentary hot sauce--it's a must-add for spicy food lovers! If you're a Nepalese food lover, Sathi is definitely a must-visit in NYC. We highly recommend it! Go NYU! Go Violets!
