Lunch yesterday was a plump tandoori chicken leg, two chicken samosas and a naan. I sat there to…read moreeat. I was the only lady there and as I have written in earlier reviews no women come here. The chicken was fresh and tasty but I could manage only half and had it packed. Now the naans here are not the delicate fragrant ones at fancy Indian restaurants. These are thick ones with or without ghee smeared on top (to request) meant for the lumberjack. Here these are in the form of cab drivers and delivery men who need sustenance and no froo froo cuisine. The gender neutral restroom is in my opinion the "Black hole of Calcutta." For men, it may be passable but for women absolutely verboten to enter. At a pinch, go to Kalustiyan where there is a restroom up the stairs. Ideally only should buy something before asking to powder one's nose. Service at Lahori is fine.

I love tasting new restaurants and wanted to stop by this place . Fantastic location . Right in the heart of Lexington Avenue . Lots of other restaurants nearby. Lots of space inside to sit and eat . Even though the ambience is not that great , it's ok for a quick lunch .. service could be better. All guys go inside the kitchen and hardly come out . Wish they had a bell or something in the counter outside for the customers to call them . Sometimes you keep waiting for many minutes before they come out . For the price , food was good . They have many food items on display and we chose some curries .. quantity was good . Naan , white rice and 2 non veg curries for 13.50$. Not bad. ... goat curry was good . Perfect Lahori taste . Chicken curry was average . Could have tasted better . My only issue is presentation. The y just mix all curries in rice and they are smashed all across the plate . Wish they give these curries in separate containers so we can enjoy the flavor of each curries . Another thing is they just reheat these curries . They are precooked . Sometimes with that , we wouldn't know if it is fresh . It tasted fresh though. Overall a good restaurant but giving them 3 stars . Will visit again and check and improve my ratings if needed

They have…read morea lot of different types of food to choose from between fried chicken, pizza, burgers, Mexican and even Indian food. The prices were good and they had some cool combos too. I overcame my indecisiveness and landed on a chicken burrito. Big mistake because this might be a contender for worst burrito I've ever had. Literally was just chicken, rice and beans. Super dry, no flavor, not even cheese?? Lettuce? Luckily they gave me green sauce on the side which added a smidge of flavor but definitely not enough. They didn't wrap it in foil so it fell apart immediately and I think they used chicken they put inside was half inedible cartilage and bones. Maybe their other menu items are better but definitely stay away from the burrito - there are better spots for that nearby.

If you're expecting a cute aesthetic and polished service, this isn't it fam but that's part of the charm and honestly, I loved it. Plenty of seating and even a downstairs area when it gets busy. The food is made fresh daily and displayed up front which I always take as a good sign. You order at the front and they bring it out to you. We got the aloo gosht and chicken karahi with naan which was an easy 8.5/10. This tasted like home. Super authentic, warm, and comforting. The naan is made fresh, portions are generous and they're definitely not stingy with the meat. We left with very happy bellies.

The food was served hot and fresh. Our party had two orders of lamb kofta (2 sides each) and I had the Persian chicken kebab which was a bit salty tbh but overall had a nice flavor and adequate spice. 9/10 as it could have had more of all (veggies, and baba ghanoush for the $17 price). The dining area is utilitarian with the din of traffic from the adjacent corner (W40th/9th Ave) as a constant. Meh, it's NYC you'll hear horns and traffic everywhere at all hours. I give a 1 star deduction for plastic cutlery, as opposed to bamboo or some compostable variety. TIP: definitely get the baba ghanoush it is a standout due to its wonderful smoky flavor

The spicing can be quite different from other styles of cuisine, but whether or not you like it is a personal decision. I liked most of the food that was offered.

The whole fish has a distinctive strong taste that took some getting used to...perhaps a lot of paprika and red pepper, but I'm not really sure...certainly a nice portion size.
