Chicken was so good, cut perfectly, not dry at all but not sticky either 10/10! Vegetable samosas are so good, the dough was made perfectly. The 2 sauces on the side are just as great with it. Food was so good I ordered again, Goat curry with rice. This wasn't my favorite, it wasn't bad but not my favorite. I happened to walk by this place, I almost missed it! It's a little nook within a building with other businesses inside. The guy working the front also cooked the food, fresh too! I'll always wait for fresh food, very nice man, very nice place. I will be back.

I have been here several times when I am craving chicken tikka masala. The food is wonderful with a variety of flavors and colors. I have not had a disappointing experience here in the last couple of years. The inside is very warm and cozy. I love the namaste sign they have up for people to take photos with. This restaurant is usually busy around Diwali times with tons of orders coming in. I ordered the chicken tika masala with naan. Similar to most Indian restaurants you have high prices with smaller portions. Unfortunately that is how it is these days. However the portions that they do have are delicious. I wish there was more food but would rather have some food than none.

I ordered at the counter and after 30 mins I checked and seems like my order had not been passed on, so I ordered again and this time food only took 10 mins to arrive. Naan was great. Chicken tikka masala was a bit oiler than I'm used to. They didn't have any plain rice available as a side order for the curry, so they suggested the Friday special rice which was chicken and chickpeas and ginger etc, unfortunately this had definitely been sitting a while and rice was pretty mushy. The staff were pretty friendly, and I liked how the dining area was decorated. $22 for the two dishes and naan (plenty of leftovers that i took home although not sure how well the rice will be tomorrow)

Found myself really hungry in the middle of the Bronx today. I like to support small businesses in…read moreareas like this, and found this restaurant listed on Yelp. I'm not familiar with Pakistani food, which is a great reason for me to check it out... and I figured it's similar to Indian, which I love. The name of the place sounds super cool and kind of silly, TBH, so I think that hooked me. There's not too much parking available on the streets near the restaurant, but I found some right down on Bronxwood Ave about a 2 minute walk. Upon arrival, I was a little surprised to find it kind of beat-up looking, a damaged table (with the veneer peeling away from the top)... not looking quite as great as it did in the photos I saw on Yelp. But the food looked good. I ordered beef (in a thick gravy) over seasoned white rice. Even though it's ready to eat, it's not warmed up, so I had to wait a few minutes for them to plate and microwave it. They added a generous amount of the sauce/gravy to the top, but the gravy kind of disappears into the rice. The flavor wasn't really to my liking... I couldn't identify what exactly was the dominant spice or spices, but they're not a favorite of mine. Regardless, I ate all of the meat... but as you can see from the photos, you should have plenty of RICE left when you're done! I brought some home. Service was casual and consisted of the guys who work behind the counter. It's not real table service. Definitely do not go here on a date unless you know the person is casual and adventurous and not at all scared of a "hole in the wall." The staff there are nice... asked me how I liked the food when I was finished and all. It cost $11 which is totally fair.

My favorite is the vegan tofu saag, it's made with coconut milk and it's creamy with the tofu holding the perfect texture. Their chana masala and salmon tandoori are also great options that I've tried. Their naan is some of my favorite from Indian restaurants in the city, impossible to order here without it. While I usually get takeout, I recently dined in during lunch and tried the lunch special which was a great deal. $12.95 for the vegetarian option and a dollar or two more for meat/seafood. It comes with hot or iced tea, a few mini samosas, rice, a lunch-portioned entree and half of a naan. Service was quick and there's plenty of seating inside. There were also signs posted up that they're starting an AYCE brunch on the weekends. Kismat is my favorite spot for Indian, they have an incredibly extensive menu so there's definitely something for everyone.

I had…read moreread other reviews about service but wasn't too scared off... though I should have listened to them. When we arrived at our pickup time, we were asked our name by a harried looking employee who was dealing with about 8 delivery drivers. When she addressed us, I told her we had ordered online and she said "Which one? We have about 8 websites" which I thought a bit brusque. We then sat there for about 15 minutes, watching delivery drivers wait, get tired of waiting, then go into the kitchen to look for their pickup bag. Finally, I looked on the counter piled with takeout bags, where, lo and behold, our food had been waiting the whole time. The mahkni was overly sweet and pretty one note, and seemed as though it was made from frozen grilled chicken strips. The Karahi was good and more tender. Unfortunately not worth it- there are other, better Indian restaurants nearby that I'll go to next time.

What a wonderful spot for you to explore…read more We wanted to take our friend out to dinner for his birthday he likes a low key style. We called a head since it was 6 of us to see if we could do a walk in or if we needed a reservation , and both options are available which is a plus. Dress attire is your choice we dressed regular nothing fancy just day to day hang out style. We were greeted kindly by the staff sat down handed a set of dominoes to play with while we waited for our food and drank some water. The place is decorated nicely and you can see the vision in mind definitely. We placed our orders and I'm not gonna lie I came in thinking the food was gonna be eh but I was blown away by the flavors. For drinks we ordered a spicy sunset, pretty young thing and cokes. The spicy sunset is a nice strong drink and is rimmed nicely with just the right amount is tajin as you drink it; it has a nice smoky after taste to it definitely was delicious. The pretty young thing was a nice citrusy drink with a little salty aftertaste, which balanced out the flavor nicely. The cokes were not water down they were good as well. For food we ordered the Cuban sandwich with parmesan fries, butter chicken wings, butter chicken macaroni and cheese, steak nachos grande, butter chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries and mom's butter chicken platter. This was a wonderful Spanish and Indian style combination of flavors. Definitely my first time having this type of food and wow what a mind blowing experience. Not one person in the table complained or had anything negative to say about their food. We all tried each other's food and each bite we exchanged to try was delicious and better than the last . The Cuban was delicious but the parmesan fries stole the show from that meal it was paired so lovely who would've thought those flavors would've mixed nicely. The buttery chicken wings oh my God dripping with goodness each bite was legit finger licking good lol. The butter chicken macaroni very very delicious. Had a nice cheese pull and a good balance could not stop eating it. The steak nachos were delicious I wish It had a little more meat, but it was not bad. The butter chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries also delicious and the fries were cooked so nicely that it was crispy and soft at the same time per bite. The mom's butter chicken platter was delicious they gave the right amount of sauce, the pita bread was delicious and soft, the salad that it was paired with was good too the rice was decently portioned. Everything was definitely tasty. Not one complaint of any of the meals. We did not wait long for the food. Bathrooms were nice and clean. I want to come back to try more things in the menu that's how good the food was and our group agreed to also come back with us. This spot is definitely a place to try. They have a beautiful quote right near the bar that really spoke to us, especially during these times it said "you are exactly where you need to be." It makes you stop for a second and really take it in and just live in the moment ... especially living in New York, where you have to be always go go go fast fast fast. This was really beautifully written thank you to the staff who made our night and our friend's birthday special we'll see you soon.

The Spinach Soup was a great opener--smooth, well-seasoned, and full of bright, comforting flavor. Shrimp Balchao was the highlight.

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.
