    Samosa Chaat, Sauces and Green Salad
    Amanda G.

    This review is for a delivery we received. We ordered their butter chicken, samosa chaat, garlic naan and what was supposed to be their lamb tikka kahari. My problem is that it definitely was not lamb. It was gamey as all hell and being Jamaican, I can tell goat meat a mile away because it's actually one of my favourite proteins in west Indian cuisine but it's hella seasoned which kills the gamey aftertaste. Lamb is also one of my most favourite proteins as well. I love the flavor of it, whether it's a chop of a leg cut. Everything else was great. Their samosa chaat has chick peas, spices and smashed pieces of samosa. It's perfection. The butter chicken was great, as was the naan. That "lamb" was inedible. It tasted like it had been walking on a farm two seconds prior to being cooked and delivered to our house and again, there was no lamb in that dish and that was a disappointment. We loved it when we dined on premises but if I have to worry about getting what I ordered and paid for just because it's take away, I don't want to go back there. No one likes a bait and switch.

    41. Kabab Masala

    I had tried this place a few years ago, pre pandemic, and was pleased to finally have a nice sit down Pakistani restaurant. After that I ordered take out a few times. Recently after not going there or ordering take out for a few years, I decided to order delivery. I ordered the chicken Karahi & the kebab masala. The Kebab masala was just ok, nothing special at all, and the chicken Karahi was definitely NOT Karahi, it was just some kind of chicken in masala. To be honest the Naan & salad were better than both dishes. Not sure if they are under new management or have a new cook, but we definitely did not enjoy the food this time around. Delivery was on time and the restaurant followed my instructions ( I asked for the chicken Karahi to be made with boneless chicken).

    The incomparable Nawab. An absolute must in Westchester County. My husband and I have been coming here for about 8 years. The food is delicious and the service is delightful. Our favorites are the naan bread, the mango lassi, the mixed platter, haki chili chicken and the nawab chicken. Don't miss it!

    Mixed Grill for one

    Absolutely delicious "Mixed Grill for one"! Five-star service! Will definitely be back, inshAllah.

    I can't begin to describe my satisfaction with this place! First and foremost, the food! Why?! Cause it's AMAZING!! Now, I do love Indian cuisine so I admit my bias, however that also gives me permission to admit my desire for satisfying flavor. Well, this place provides it! I've been twice now and both times a hit. First time I had a vegan dish which was delightful with a punch of spice. Second time had butter chicken and well (insert drool emoticon). All of the food is home cooked. Try their naan and you will know exactly how I know this! Due to the special care that goes into home cooking, expect a bit of a delay. I order in advance to eat in the restaurant (insert mad scientist emoticon)!!! The restaurant is cute, a bit cold, and always plenty of space. The music they play is incredible! Frankly I'd stay just to jam out. The waitress is great! Nothing more to say on that. This place has become a staple in my yelp book!

    This was our first time trying Indian food and to say the least we were not disappointed. The food was very flavorful and fresh. And the ambiance was lovely as well. Very lovely service and generous servings. We were a party of 3 and had enough to take home. Chicken & Veggie Samosas: very flavorful and cooked to perfection. Generous fillings & comes with an assortment of chutneys and salad for the table. The veggie samosas are pretty spicy. Chicken Tikka Masala: my favorite dish of the evening. Amazing flavorful and succulent chicken. The sauce is delicious with a subtle spice. Butter Chicken: lovely sauce again, very fresh and juicy chicken. Less flavorful than the tikka masala but also a solid choice. More of a very subtle creamy sauce. Daal: very well seasoned and prepared. Garlic Naan: DELICIOUS! We literally couldn't get enough fresh garlic and seasoning served hot and fresh. Mango Lassi: interesting but also very nice. Strong mango & yogurt flavor but not to heavy like a smoothie. Overall we were a party of 3, shared the meal and still had enough to take home.

    This is considered samosa chaat to nawab owners....
    Itsme I.

    I would give this place no stars! This is their samosa chaat.....no samosas just these freezer made triangles...this is a joke! This cost me 8 dollars! No yogurt no seasoning just plain chickpeas with these small things!

    Love the food here and they usually deliver on time. But WTF with this dessert? Paid $4.50 for 2 pieces of gulab jaman. This one is a first. They should have called to say they were out.

    I visited on a Saturday afternoon, and there were not that many people, which made for a pleasant…read moredining experience. There is no parking lot, so I had to find metered street parking, which is something to keep in mind when planning to eat here. I started with the Mucho Mango drink, which was prepared really well and tasted great. There was a small issue when my plates arrived, as I noticed a small ant crawling on one of the plates. Mistakes happen, and the staff apologized and promptly brought out fresh plates. The wait was a little longer than expected, but the food made it worthwhile. I ordered the chicken tikka masala with garlic naan and lamb biryani. The food tasted fresh and was full of flavor. The garlic naan was definitely a highlight. It was delicious and paired perfectly with the meal. The chicken tikka masala had a nice sweetness to it and was served with white rice, making it a satisfying dish. The lamb biryani was decent and still tasty overall, although it had a stronger flavor than I preferred. I would definitely consider coming back here to try more of the menu.

    This was my first time visiting this Spice Village restaurant with friends, located in Tuckahoe…read more They have robust options on the menu and the prices are great, I almost didn't know what to choose! For appetizers we ordered potato samosa, they were very flavorful and tasted freshly made. I decided on the main dish that I wanted, the chicken vindaloo with a side of rice. The chicken was good but I do wish it was a bit spicier. Overall the dish had good seasoning and tasted authentic. Per my usual pairing I had a prosecco which made me enjoy my meal even more. The service was good, and the staff was nice. This restaurant has a chill atmosphere and they have parking available on the street, which is great.

    Veda 10 Jay St…read more Tenafly, NJ 07670 Papadum Basket Chicken Tikka Masala Garlic Naan This contemporary Indian restaurant is located in the heart of Tenafly, NJ. A supervisor from my job recommended this location and he was right on point. The interior had a nice ambiance and the dining tables had a uniform set up with attractive tablecloths. It was a relief that a spoon was automatically included with the silverware; most restaurants only provide a fork & knife. Papadum Basket: This complimentary appetizer was an excellent start to the meal. The sabudana papad is a bubble wafer with an appearance identical to styrofoam. The traditional papadum is a flat lentil base crisp that kind of reminds me of a flattened looseleaf. Although the shapes of these wafers have different appearance, their taste is superior. They both have a light, crispy texture. A side of spiced tomato chutney compliments the snack. Because the starter tasted this good, I easily predicted the main course was going to be a home run. Chicken Tikka Masala: Chicken is diced into square cubes and smothered in creamy tomato sauce. The sauce was hot & creamy and the chicken was tender. It is one of the most popular dishes in the restaurant. Also included is a side of basmati rice. While I was eating, I ran out and the server gave me another portion. There was no up charge for the second helping. Do not confuse this plate with their "butter chicken" entrée. Although chicken tikka masala is also referred to as butter chicken, the two entrees on this restaurant are not identical. Butter chicken is served in slices and the sauce is different. I asked a server about the difference between the two plates; he told me he was a new hire and did not know the answer. I truly appreciated his honesty and was grateful he got another waiter to assist me instead of trying to answer it without the proper knowledge. Garlic Naan: The naan is the perfect side dish to order with the chicken. It is great for dipping into the sauce. It still tastes excellent on its own because of its soft texture. The up charge is the same whether you order original or garlic flavor. As a bonus, this Indian restaurant is BYOB. If you did not bring any wine or malt liquor, two wine & spirit shops are located footsteps away on Washington St. and Tenafly Rd. This was a perfect dining experience, from the ambiance of the restaurant to the entire meal. The servers were very efficient and it's definitely a great location for family gatherings, date night, or any other event. #veda #contemporaryindiancuisine #chickentikkamasala #vedatenaflynj

The service was…read morefriendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming--one of those meals where everything just clicks. The Spinach Soup was a great opener--smooth, well-seasoned, and full of bright, comforting flavor. Shrimp Balchao was the highlight. Sautéed with ginger, garlic, and tamarind, it delivered a perfect mix of heat, tang, and richness. Bold, aromatic, and deeply satisfying. The Garlic Naan came out fresh from the tandoor--soft, lightly charred, and packed with garlic. Ideal for soaking up all the sauces. Mutter Paneer, with tender paneer and green peas in a spiced masala, was creamy and fragrant without feeling too heavy. A classic dish executed really well. Nani's Chicken Curry featured tender chicken simmered in a flavorful blend of spices and onions, with rich, layered flavors that built with each bite. Final Take: A standout lunch with great service and thoughtfully prepared dishes. Everything tasted fresh, balanced, and full of flavor. Definitely a spot I'll return to.
