    Stale rock hard Idlis and dosa with a masala that had clearly gone bad
    Fatima K.

    I came across your restaurant via Google search. The Order was delivered on time Packaging was impeccable Portion sizes were generous 4/16 items were pleasant in taste -Saag -Makki ki roti -Malai kofta -Long grain rice The following items let me down, tremendously: Malai chop & Lucky's special stuffed chole kulcha - just edible Paneer pakora, bread pakora, samosa chaat & gobi manchurian - okay at best Food I had to throw away immediately: Masala dosa - potatoes had gone bad & their rotten smell was strong Uttapam - burnt and tasteless Idlis - rock hard Vada - tasteless I've had frozen dosas, uttapams, Idlis and vadas that have tasted 100 times better Raj Kachori - stale & the super firm dahi badhe/pakori in it tasted very bad & stale like they were used directly from a frozen box And the order was missing Salt lassi. The restaurant called to say "the driver forgot my salt lassi." Apart from an otherwise disappointing delivery order, to be charged money for food that wasn't even delivered, is penalizing the customer. Cost of my complete order (excluding delivery & other fees): 153.16$ Total money lost on food I had to throw: 70$ (46% of my total spend - substantial loss) Dhaba food, and more so Indian vegetarian food is associated with amazing layers of taste and freshness - when 75% of the order is a disappointment, it leaves a lot to be desired. I spoke to Ms. Mary, one of the restaurant employees. She took the time to politely and respectfully listen to all that I have written here. She said she would pass on my remarks to the kitchen and that there was nothing more she could do apart from ensuring my next order was impeccable. I informed her there will be no next time after I had to throw away 70$ worth of food. I would like to be refunded this 70$. This does not include any delivery or service fees. It is only the cost of food I had to throw away or was not delivered. Please look into the matter. I hope it is resolved amicably.

    Picked up a few items for takeout. We shared the shahi paneer and the palak paneer. Both were good. Came with a small serving of rice order was ready quickly. They had a nice display of sweets, so I ended picking up a few items to try. Sweets were good too.

    My favorite place everyone is so nice and the food is amazing I love the Chole Puri taste soooo yummyyyyy!!!!!!

    Samosa and besan burfi.

    I order pick up from this place always , but quality of food is not good. Every time I order food one or more items are not good. We love eating Indian food so we order take out. This time I had ordered Samosa and besan barfi, condiments (mint sauce) that came with samosa and somosa stuffing is smelling very bad, looks like it is already spoiled. . I simply wasted my money. I called the restaurant and the staff told me to get the food back as if we are sitting here free. I will not visit this place again.

He helped me pronounce the food items I couldn't get correct. Overall he gave me choices and options that were great that I really enjoyed. I don't remember the bartender names but he was great as well. His drinks were perfectly blended I felt like I was on vacation on a beach having them. But when I come back I definitely want to choose them! Ambiance was LUXURIOUS. Very clean, utensils were very clean as if it the a grand opening. I love the aesthetics and the color coordination and to the plates and silverware. Overall I recommend anyone especially if it's your first time. The people hear are amazing food is even better. 100/10 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

It was uncomfortable since our knees bumped into the table. However, we did not have to wait! We had immediate service any time we wanted it because someone was always behind the bar. Food (5/5): This is the best Indian food I've had in Queens!! Every since dish is packed with flavor, depth in the sauce and meats, and reasonably priced!! I liked how much sauce was in every dish. Samosa was perfect. The Goat Mandras was my favorite with a sauce that has spice but not super spicy considering the red chili symbol. Chicken Tikka was also very good. My garlic naan was SO good, has a crunch on one side but airy soft to bite. Unlimited little rice bowls?! This will be our go-to Indian after our first experience.

Bombay Grill is one of my favorite Indian restaurants in the city. The food is gently spiced and not greasy. The last time I checked, they had an excellent health department grade. It was a challenge to find that plus an affordable lunch special. One of my other favorite Indian restaurants has had several issues with the NYC health department. The Yelp app is very helpful - it lists the health department grade after the ratings. Bombay Grill also makes excellent curries. I prefer those over the usual chicken tikka masala - although that's always good. If you order lunch, the lunch box has more variety but less of the main course. So if you want just one main dish, it's better to go without a box lunch option and just choose a standard lunch deal.

Taking over for another desi-owned spot (#1) several years ago, they've done a much better job of capturing an audience by focusing on a niche of Goan inspired foods, along with a slew of classic Indian dishes that span from north to south. The interior is modest and quaint, and a one bright / memorable outdoor setup during the pandemic. The restaurant is not big, but they've managed to cram in a good number of tables to make it place for 30 folks. Takeout and delivery are also very popular, and I've been fortunate to have had all of the above. Some immediate standouts: goan fish curry, xacuti curry, and the caldeen curry are quite excellent and all come from the Indo-Portuguese side of the menu, which are all loaded with flavor. Additionally, the tandoori selection (especially the chicken malai, seekh kebab, and methi salmon) and variety of curries (rogan josh, korma, jalfrezi, makhani, etc.) are also very flavorful. As with many other Indian places, especially ones that cater to the southern palate, there is an excellent vegetarian selection. The saag chana is one of my go-tos, but the peeli dal, bhindi masala, gobi manchurian over their lemon or tomato rice all merit a big thumbs up. Ownership has likely changed since their initial start, which explains why the staff and "family owned" management has all gotten different looks before and after the pandemic. The other major issue has been pricing, which definitely feels premium at $21-23, for portions that sometimes feels like the size of a hockey puck. The product is still good and the pickins in Sunnyside (#2) are slim, so I realize that for some people, this is the only (Indian) game in town. ___________ (#1) Biriyani House: https://www.yelp.com/biz/biriyani-house-sunnyside (#2) Unless of course, we're counting all the Nepalese spots that also serve Indian cuisine.

    This is such a great Indian restaurant that's not too far from my house. I ordered Chicken Tikka…read moreMasala from them a few weeks ago and was really happy with the dish. The price is amazing, the portion size is fantastic, and it was delicious! Recently, we tried the weekend buffet, which was amazing and totally worth it! It's $18 per person but the selection is really great, with both vegetarian and meat dishes offered, and two dessert selections. What I love is that some of their dishes have a kick to them and feel more authentic than other Indian restaurants I've eaten at with respect to the spiciness. While I'm not a fish lover, I loved their fish pakora! It is so flavorful and super easy to overeat. While I loved all of their buffet dishes, the fish pakora and chana masala were my absolute favorites with the butter chicken and paneer tikka masala tying for 2nd. The restaurant is very large and clean, and the servers are very kind and attentive. They were constantly refilling our water and checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. Overall, this is a great spot for Indian food and a great Indian buffet spot. I highly recommend checking it out if you're in the neighborhood.
