    Chaat
    Sylvia T.

    Well priced nicer Indian restaurant in LES. Super small inside so get a res but service is good! Portion sizes are on the smaller side too though. Apps: chaat was crunchy and good. I've lowkey never had anything like it. Textures and flavors were spot on. Chipotle chicken was just chicken w Chick-fil-A sauce but lowk the best and gobi Manchurian was decent but nothing crazy. Plates: lemon chicken was fine, shrimp coconut curry was good but just like normal coconut curry which with enough fat can never be bad. The chicken tikka was mid as hell, feel like I could get that anywhere Garlic naan was decent Overall I thought it was decent but nothing special.

    Solid, unpretentious Indian Joint in the LES. Walked in around 6:30pm on a Saturday and were able to get in right away with all the tables being nearly empty. What we got : 1 - Bok Choy Chaat : tasted like normal chaat but with a twist 2- Chole Saag : Also pretty good 3 : Zaatar Naan : we took a risk with this one we really liked it. It was very flavorful and paired well with our Indian food. Service was fast and efficient as well.

    This is one of my absolute favorite spots in the Lower East Side ! I'm not exaggerating when I say you will not be disappointed! The food at Gazab is next-level. Every dish was packed with bold flavor and creativity. Gazab truly lives up to their name. Here's what we ordered and loved: Kolkata Pani Puri Shrimp Ghee Roast Bhut Jolokia Chicken Tikka Hyderabadi Chicken Dum Biryani Lemon Chicken Bokchoy Chaat Kori Sukka Garlic Naan Alphonso Mango Lassi The service was also phenomenal which made the experience 10x better! If you're looking for somewhere that's fun, flavorful, and guaranteed to impress your friends, this is the place to go!

    Went to Gazab, a cute little Indian restaurant in NYC! Tried the Bhoot Jolokia Chicken Tikka -- super flavorful, tender, and juicy, with just the right amount of heat. The Hyderabadi Chicken Biryani had a nice presentation and looked great, but the taste was just alright. The ambience was cozy and authentic, making it a nice spot overall for Indian food in the city.

    Absolute Gazab food! Random walk-in with family on a Sat night, thanks to rejections from Dhamaka and Bungalow. And aren't we glad that happened! Best thing about food; you don't have to be a celebrity chef to deliver bold flavors, something that was an absolute hit on their non-vegetarian taste plates. The Kori Sukka ($18) was a hit, and so was the Pani Puri ($13). Gobi Manchurian ($15) could've used a bit more spice, just as the Tandoori Pomfret ($22). Mushroom Panner Biryani ($24) while not spicy, was very tasty, and so was the Chicken Dum Biryani ($26). Rajasthani Lal Maas ($26) was packed with flavor, just as the Dal Bukhara ($20) with it simply rich flavors. You should not miss the Gulab Jamun Creme Brulee ($11). Shout out to Anveer, our server, and specific mention of Chef Vamshi, who manages to challenge the celebrity chefs in the area with traditional classics, presented in an effective manner with plenty of flavor!

    Gobi Munchurian

    I enjoyed the mix of fusion and classic dishes here. Prices were also about average, working out to about $40-$50 per person for a large group. The appetizers were all tasty. Gobi manchurian was crispy with a sweet and tangy sauce. The pani puri was my favorite appetizer - flavorful filling with sweet, sour, and herbaceous water, plus a cute presentation with the light bulb bottles. The bok choy chaat was nice, but pretty standard. For main course, I tried mushroom paneer biryani, dal bukhara, and garlic naan. The biryani was full of warm spices and flavored a bit more subtly than other biryani I had. The dal bukhara was my favorite, with just the right amount of richness, pairing well with garlic naan. The creme brulee was a cool fusion dessert. It's really just a gulab Jamun with creme brulee on top, but the two parts complement each other well.

    Overall loved Gazab for casual Indian food - The mango lassi and food was really good and the service is pretty quick. There's not a ton of space for seating but it's perfect for a semi-casual meal. Can't go wrong with their garlic naan and chicken tikka but the appetizers were even better.

    The staff was very kind. We ran in from a sudden down pour soaked and they gave us napkins to wipe down haha. It's a casual spot and the food is great. It's very rich in flavor and warm cozy dishes.

    This is a small restaurant, so definitely make a reservation! The menu was on a QR code and service was pretty quick on a Thursday night. To start, we got the Kolkata Pani Puri, and the water came in a lightbulb. We also shared the Hyderabadi Chicken Dum Biryani (my fave) and the Kerala Shrimp Moilee. We also got some garlic naan. They only had one dessert, the Gulab Jamun Creme Brûlée, which was delicious.

    Rashid M.

    Not your typical traditional Indian restaurant. The food here is very unique and creative. We started with the Bokchoy Chaat. I'm a big fan of Samosa Chaat and not a fan of adding more vegetables to an item I already like, but I thought the chaat was really good. Somehow, the bokchoy, the pomegranate and the chutney mixed together created an amazing flavor profile. We also had the Chipotle Chicken Tikka. I thought it was good, but not a must-have dish. We shared the Hyderabadi Chicken Dum Biryani. At first, we thought the portion wouldn't be big enough to share, but it was perfect for two. And it tasted excellent. It was a little on the spicy side, but I couldn't stop eating it. For dessert, we ordered both desserts that the restaurant carries; the Gulab Jamun Creme Brulee and the Lychee Firni. Both were amazing!! I would come back to the restaurant just to have dessert again! I never thought that a gulab jamun stuck inside creme brulee would go together, but it totally works! And who would think to put lychee pieces in firni? I loved both and you can't go wrong with either.

    I've grown up eating my mom's home cooked Indian meals and I would say this place does a pretty good job. I'm usually really picky with Indian food and thought this place was delicious and very cute! It takes a twist on making it fun while still being flavorful. Service was great and attentive.

    Szechuan wings
    Farah K.

    A cute, small cozy spot with cute painting and wall decor. I was surprised to see the size of the restaurant as I pictured it to be bigger. Nevertheless, waiter was very attentive given he was the only waiter there but still managed to take timely orders and refill our water. Food was good and had unique twists to it; my favorite for sure was the Szechuan chicken wings. The place had chill vibes with Indian music playing in the background. I will definitely return to try other items from the menu. One of the best Indian spot I've been to in a while!

    In no mood to dine out, we opted for takeout from Gazab while in the neighbourhood, craving their Hyderabadi Chicken Dum Biryani. The pickup was quick, and we were impressed by the cozy atmosphere of the small restaurant, which was 75% full. Back home, we dug into the biryani, which was a generous serving for two. While it tasted distinct from other Hyderabadi biryanis we've had, it was still decent. We're eager to revisit Gazab, dine in, and explore their other dishes. Based on our experience, I'd give it 4.5 stars, but since Yelp doesn't allow half-stars, I'm rounding it to 5. Looking forward to revisiting and reevaluating! No pressure Gazab !

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.
