Overall everything was 100/10 I will definitely come back and is open minded to try more food off the menu. Dominic was absolutely amazing 1000/10, I believe he knew it was my first time he was very patient with my girlfriend and myself. With an amazing smile and was just happy to help. 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!

Today I dropped by and had their lunch special which included a small side and an entree. I chose the vegetable samosa and the Kerala vegetable curry. The samosa had a nice flakey crust with a flavorful and substantial amount of filling. The kerala curry is coconut milk based with really great heat. The vegetables were firm and soft. And it was the great balance. Truly top notch curry for a lunch special. I was absolutely full, happy, and satisfied by the time my lunch break was over. Will certainly come back if im in the area.

This time though, for delivery, it was disappointing. To start, it took over an hour, at a 25 mins estimate.The food itself was overwhelming mid this time. The naan was cold and chewy, the samosas were also cold, and the chicken tikka masala was bland and watery. The chicken was so dry and tough too. It tasted nearly identical to TJ's frozen curry, which is a far cry from the dishes I've had in the past here. Four stars because it was serviceable and I know it ~can~ be good, but hoping it improves!

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.

The place has undergone quite a few changes, as well as physically moving, over the past three decades. It now sits in a more modern, smaller space. We met friends there for dinner. We started with the samosas, which were thick and filled with potatoes and peas and so satisfying, especially with a dabble of tamarind sauce. For our main meal we had the Goad Kadai, which was excellent, along with the Chicken Lajawab, the Chicken Korma, the Chicken Biryani, and the Paneer Kadai, all of which were proclaimed "very good." Service here is always excellent. From the minute you sit down, when we were given Indian crackers and dips, throughout the meal. You don't even have to ask for containers for the leftovers. They are brought to you as soon as the servers notice you are done eating and there is food leftover. Dinner for four with five entrees, a beer, an appetizer, tax, and tip was around $152.

All of us had eaten here and seven always ate here when shopping in Jackson Heights. I am not one of them. Appetizers, curries and naans were ordered. Cocktails of Mai Tai and Margheritas were being drunk with joy. I only liked the mango lassi which was served in a tall fluted glass and was refreshing. All the curries had the same flavor which my friends realized that the cuisine here was pseudo authentic. We skipped dessert as we had brought chocolates to share. Sharon, the lovely server who has been here for ten years was patient and pleasant.

The food types are similar but offer different spice/flavor profiles. They have a large section of noodles, soup, and rice. A veggie section with various combos of cauliflower, potatoes, onion, bamboo, blackened peas, mustard greens, and spices. Some of the Indian dishes: paneer butter masala, palak paneer, chicken tikka masala. Some of the appetizers include crispy tofu, fried soybeans, a Nepali snack platter with marinated meat, goat, beef tripe, sliced beef tongue, fried jerky, duck. They also have a momo section. We had their famous chicken lollipops (essentially fried chicken) and it was crispy and spicy (in a good way). We also had sadeko (marinated or tossed) bacon, which was rich and tender. I had one of their Nepali cocktails, which was pleasantly spicy (the chatpata aam, made with tequila, spicy chatpatey syrup, and mango puree). Service was attentive. Inside is cozy, lots of dark wood and colorful flags. They also often have entertainment in the evening, so I would love to return to hear some live music while trying more Nepali cuisine.

I ordered the Shogo Ngopa and decided to go with tingmo instead of the white rice. Trying something new! Also ordered a mango lassie. Food came out fresh, warm and delicious. The tingmo reminded me to a steamed bun with out the filling but with layers. Everything was good. Everyone was friendly and kept our water glasses filled. At 9pm there was live music which was a nice treat. They even sang happy birthday to our friend. Nice place and will definitely try again!

We decided to give this place a try last-minute on a Friday night after reviewing their menu and seeing many different dishes that intrigued us. Boy, was this the absolute right decision!!! Gaia Masala & Burger is an Indian fusion restaurant, and they have done an excellent job of fusing the flavors of India into a variety of different dishes. We tried the following: Chili Paneer (dry) Chili Veg Momos Cheese Samosas Papad We've tried all of these dishes in other restaurants before (excluding the cheese samosas), and they're hit or miss... I'm happy to report that ALL of these dishes were an explosion of flavor and goodness in each bite! My new favorite is the Cheese Samosa. As a cheese lover, this dish was beyond satisfying. Ooey, gooey cheese in a crispy shell that has a nice flavorful touch? Absolute perfection! There were soooo many other dishes that we wanted to try but didn't have room for in our stomachs, so we'll be back soon! We've already started making a list of which friends we want to bring here. It's a good thing we live close by.
