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.

My go to is the chicken korma and poori. The service is excellent and I appreciate when staff happily welcomes a regular. That is what keeps me visiting. I've been to a few eateries in NYC, where I've visited multiple times and FOH doesn't recognize me as a regular. This ticks me off. I stop visiting, stop recommending. Polash is a cozy friendly spot with good food and service.

My partner and I ordered the chicken makhni, the chicken Karahi, and garlic naan for pickup. 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.

I felt so celebrated and had so much fun, and it was the perfect restaurant to cap off my year. I've since ordered delivery and pickup too many times to count. The tandoori chicken and salmon were standout but truly, everything here is so good. It's also a beautiful space. I hope to be eating here for years to come!

Love Drunken Monkey!!! We've had this place on our radar for some time and finally made our way to…read morethe east side to check it out. The one thing that stood out for us was how the staff and patrons all interacted like a family. The wait staff had a true camaraderie and seemed to interact with each other like an well-oiled machine who truly cared about their jobs, the patrons, and one another! How refreshing. As for drinks and food, you likely can't go wrong with any of their menu selections. "Must try" items include the Lemon Dahl -- a.k.a. yellow lentils (trust me; get this) -- the Chicken Tikka, and Seekh Kabab (ground lamb). But every dish we saw come out to nearby tables looked yummy!! I can't wait to go back and try even more dishes! The interior is eclectic and feels cozy! We sat at the bar during our visit, but DM would definitely be great for a date night, too, because it's so intimate feeling inside. Try Drunken Monkey if you are ever in the UES and on the lookout for some unique Indian food! We'll definitely return for another visit soon!

The rest of the dishes are equally outstanding, full of rich flavors and generous portions that never disappoint. What really sets this place apart is the owner.

He takes the time to chat with customers and offers thoughtful advice on what to order, which has helped me discover some new favorites. It's that personal touch that turns a good meal into a memorable experience. Whether you're stopping in for takeout or dining in, you'll leave happy and well-fed.

I can always tell when a new cook is in the kitchen, though. Sadly, "the heat" (the spiciness) is not as strong. The last time I ordered Chicken Shahi Korma, I had to add my own chopped pepper. The chicken samosas aren't as good anymore either. The dough seems different, thicker maybe. They need to put somebody old school back in the kitchen!
