    Vegetable Samosa
    Ashley J.

    Ordered this on Uber Eats - it was packaged well and also traveled well. Loved the Garlic naan. The chutneys with the vegetable samosas were a bit liquid for my liking and the chicken tikka massala had a very heavy tomato flavor. Not my favorite but also an affordable and convenient option for delivery.

    This is a family owned business. The owner and the waiter are extremely happy, helpful and amazing customer service. The owner make you feel like family and his food are alll good. The atmosphere is so relaxing.

    I came here with a group of friends. It was a completely different experience from my last visit. Great service! Our waiter was very nice. The food tasted good and was affordable.

    Yummy!! I was craving lamb chops and this place had great reviews so i decided to try it. We started off with a complimentary basket of papad which was tasty and properly cooked. Sometimes i've gotten them either stale or undercooked at places. Then we ordered the green salad. The salad was pretty large and had lettuce, tomatoes and tons of carrots. It was fresh though i want not crazy about the dressing. It tasted like kraft italian. I asked for some chat masala and then helped the tasted a good bit. For the main course we ordered two of the lamb chop dinner. It came with rice and we ordered bread as well. We could easily have shared just one order. There was plenty of food. The lamb came with some yummy onions and peppers. I ordered mine spicy and it was so delicious!!! Service here is extremely attentive and so friendly. The best part is that the pricing is very reasonable. i'll definitely be back!!

    Absolutely delicious place with very kind, accommodating service! We had a great time. My new favorite. We had garlic naan, Rajasthani Hara Maas, Chicken Xacuti, and a mango lassi. Everything we had here was delicious; I'm dying to try the rest of his suggestions!

    Chicken tandoori: AMAZING.

    How do they fit so much flavor in a such a small establishment?!! We came in from out of town and were looking for top notch Indian food. This place was awesome ! My partner is from Punjab and agreed that the flavors were very good. The level of spicyness was adapted for me as I'm sensitive to super spicy food, and I was grateful. Also, portions were very generous. We were just 2 people but could have easily shared with another person. Chicken tandoori: was the best I've ever had. It was just enough for 2 people. Biryani: very flavorful, not too spicy. Palak paneer (spinach & cheese): soooo good & not spicy. Baingan bharta (eggplant): fantastic flavor with a spicy kick. Naan: fresh and soft. Must have! If you're around the area, give this place a try. It lives up to the Yelp reviews.

    Cuisine: 6 Service: 5…read moreDecor: 7 Value: 4 Overall: 6 I tend not to trust ethic food Yelp reviews in touristy areas because they tend to be skewed by tourists, and not locals. 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.

There was a lot of take out and delivery orders but, that kitchen kept up with everything. Friend ordered a lime iced tea which they made and sweeten perfectly. We started with the chicken samosa and steamed lamb momos. The samosas are huge, tasty, and filled to the capacity of shell. The lamb momos were delicious alone but use the spicy dip it comes with and the dish is a flavor bomb. Entrees were Tandoori chicken which comes with a huge bowl of rice. The chicken was fine by itself but put the yogurt sauce on it and it is like a totally different dish. So tasty and delicious. Lamb biryani...Plenty of lamb throughout this dish the spices and flavors blended well and were spot on with just that hint of heat to break a sweat. Garlic Naan... when you first bite into it you get a hint of garlic then you get a nice pop of garlic. They start you with a courtesy flat thin bread with 2 dips...very nice. Staff is very friendly courteous and attentive. We never felt rushed or in the way. Very cool spot to chat chew and catch up.

Before leaving, we confront the owner about the inconsistencies in his story, but he just double downs on his lie, alleging that we don't understand how a restaurant is run. For some reason, he even started to yell at the busgirl who was trying to get him to apologize? In addition to holding us hostage for an hour and continued lying, he tries to make the racist point that Indian food is more sophisticated and takes longer to prepare than other types of Asian food. I feel there are certain standards in the NYC service industry given the competition, and this was a confusing and unacceptable experience. The food was admittedly good, but not good enough for them to have the attitude they had.
