This place is close by my office and I was in a pinch so decided to pick up a quick bite. They have a 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. read more

Salt & Pepper - All this under $17! - Indian Near Me - New York, New York

TBH, this place is hit or miss. Bf tried to convince me for a long time that their steak dinner slaps. I was skeptical because who offers steak dinners with a salad, potato, AND a soda for under $30??!?? HOW good could this steak possibly be!?!? Well, we get to the spot and it's like a deli. Reminds me of a soup kitchen. You line up and you order. We went at night and the guy cooking our steak pounded it out before grilling it. Ok, it was actually not bad. Ut was a little fatty, but it was tender enough and actually quite hearty and filling. The baked potato is really good. The salad is not, but it's not like you are paying more for it. A water washes it all down. We have been back here a few times since. The cook at night is a better cook than the one who works the day shift. While it isn't the most amazing meal you will have, nor is it really a place to take a date, it's a good meal to kick it with the homies after a night out at MSG or drinking. read more

There are roaches everywhere once you step into the bathroom. They start crawling away. The food is good but this is very unsanitary.

Got Steak and cheese sandwiches very average. The place is the issue needs a major scrub....really oily sticky and dirty. Felt very uncomfortable, a lot of the food looked like it was pre made and didn't lion as fresh. Do not recommend. read more

This was my first time at Salt & Pepper. It was a Saturday at noon. I ordered combo meal number three which is the Philly cheesesteak with fries and soda. They put my food on a tray which is a rarity in New York City due to people stealing them. The cheesesteak was basic and not as large like what you would find at Jersey Mike's. The shoestring sized fries were also decent. I enjoyed my meal while watching all of their customers come in from the construction site across the street. I didn't even notice the more ethnic section which is separated but next to the American-based food and menu until I eventually sat down. It is in no way classy but it's better than going to an outdoor vendor in the rain. read more

I came across this place as I was hunting for a 'Halal' food joint. I was tempted by the steak, and for me its was a lucky chance to get Halal Steak. I went for the combo - Steak (Well done), Salad, Fries and a can of soda. Good for the price , and the steak tasted heavenly !! I enjoyed every but of it and for sure I am going back for that steak. read more

While walking for a meal during my break I came across this restaurant I start to realized it seem normal and everything. One of the biggest flaws is the grading letter which was a C which is not A good images especially to customers. However like people say never judge a book by its cover. Eventually I decide to try for myself I order a chicken Cutlet with rice and beans and I have to say not bad to be honest it was actually good. Even though I read the comment of most people saying negative things about it. I decide to check for myself and it seem normal however they should try to step their game up to get rid of that grading of a C and improve to A other then that everything is good in this place. read more

I really wanted to try some New York pizza during my trip and I couldn't find the actual pizza place I wanted to try. Instead, I found this place on the same street and decided to try this place out instead. The pizza was really cheap; like a dollar or so, and really cheesy. The wish the dough was a little more cooked/crispy, as it didn't have that nice browning of the crust that I like with a good pizza. Regardless, my cheese pizza came out quickly and tasted good. It reminded me of Costco pizza a little bit. While not the best pizza ever, I did enjoy the thin crust New York style pizza and it came out hot and fresh on the cheap. read more

Salt and Pepper is a good choice if you work around the Penn Station area, if not there really is no reason to come eat here unless you are a taxi driver (their menu states taxi drivers welcome). So S&P serves Spanish and Pakistani-Indian food. All their plates are $5.99. There's roast, baked, stewed, fried chicken with rice and beans or veggies and rice, chicken curry, tikka masala or biryani with rice and vegetables. The dishes are pretty flavorful and the portions will make you full. Not the best or worst I've had. Plates also come with 1/2 a buttered roll. Oh and the Pakistani guy at the cashier speaks Spanish which was pretty cool. read more

Walked in this place on a Friday afternoon what caught my eye was the $1 pizza. I got extremely excited when I saw they had Indian food. So, of course we had to order the Chicken Tikka Masala very standard dish and it was delicious. Got some greek salad and a slice. The pizza was good for $1 you would get ripped off if you paid more. For two drinks it was $4.90 which was a bit much but he let us give him $4.50 because we didn't have any change. They should clean a little more because the place just had a once over of soap. They have a huge TV in the back which was nice to watch while we ate. Will I go back here again? Maybe. Am I bragging about it? Nope. Food prices are good. read more

Becareful !! These guys change pricing up on you based on who's working. One day I paid $8.00 same meal. 3 days later same meal $12.00 They claim when I said it's a mistake but later I asked people who I work with n they had the same issues !! People who don't pay attention or tourist are suckered into higher pricing !! They get 1 star cause food is decent. read more

Best spot for food late at night on the weekends a mix of different types of food from American to Spanish to indian/Pakistani/Bengali but the best part everything is halal there steak is really good and they have different options to choose from but the best part about this place is that it's next to Madison Square Garden so after watching wrestling or basket ball or a concert you should stop by yeah I would definitely recommend this place to all my friends and fellow yelpers read more

I've been to this place for take-out multiple times now, getting the Paki/Indian and I have never been once disappointed. The man who works behind the counter is extremely nice and courteous and the masala and curry, which are the two things I usually get, are both flavorful and very filling for the price. No complaints whatsoever! read more

This place is a solid 3-star restaurant with a deli atmosphere. I picked up a mealpal from this place a couple of times and they were quick and kind for the most part. The food is good, but nothing that I'd go out of my way for. There was a decent amount of bone for the meal I got, which is likely part of the dish but the meat was a little tough to chew through as well. While the atmosphere makes me want to return, I'll have to try more of their dishes to get a good feel for their food. I'm sure some of their other dishes are delicious, I just need to choose the right ones. read more

Ladies and gentlemen of Yelp Manhattan, it is a collective shame and a black mark across ourselves that such an establishment has a mere 2.5 stars. Our uppity middle class bourgeois selves need to be collectively slapped off our high horses. This place is awesome. Not every restaurant can be a charming, intellectual little place in Chelsea with exposed brick and witty drink menus in millenial sans-serif typefaces. Nor should they be, thank god. I can only take so much of being around people in blazers with perfectly volumized hair talking about Soulcycle or their latest idea for a social media optimization startup. Sometimes I just want to eat some real food around some real people. One plebian Sunday morning, my dear boyfriend and I were searching for a greasy-spoon, B-grade-on-the-health-inspection type of place to get a massive stack of pancakes. Not some fancy-ass buckwheat pecan-caramel-golddust-locally-grown-snobbery pancakes. Just some normal goddamn Aunt-Jemima-mom-made-this-as-a-treat-on-Sunday-mornings-instead-of-99-cent-discount-brand-knockoff-Cheerios kind of pancakes. Apparently this was an impossible feat at 2pm on a Sunday around 34th and 6th, and we ended up at Parker and Quinn instead, reluctantly taking off our real-people hats. The food was delicious, but still left an Aunt-Jemima shaped hole in our hearts, and our wallets. The New York Yelp definition of "two dollar sign brunch place" is quite unlike anywhere else in the world. On Monday morning we were determined not to fall again for nicely designed menus, real pepper grinders, or well-coiffed waiters in collared shirts. We would accept nothing less than tacky, pixelated photos on overcrowded menus. We demanded salt and pepper packets and plastic cutlery. Our exacting standards for decor left no room for compromise: if there was any aesthetic intention beyond the strictly functional, we wold turn around and walk right back out the door. Salt and Pepper delivered on all of the above. To top it off, we were served the most delicious, massive stack of real-people pancakes that I had ever tasted for 7 bucks. And the home fries - holy crap. I would have devoured that stuff by the bagful. They also make their omelets with real cracked eggs, unlike a lot of breakfast places that target a "loftier" clientele (*cough* the Blake and Todd outside my office, frequented by unremarkable dress-shirt types). None of that liquid egg mix stuff, and you can taste the difference. Have never stopped in for lunch or their other items, but if brunch was anything to go on, they will deliver. Service was fine. I mean, the same guy who takes your order also cooks your food and is responsible for cash. Pretty impressive, all things considered. I know we live in Manhattan, so this is hard - but if you ever get the urge, like I do, to be a real person once in a while, over a stack of really good pancakes or eggs, you can count on Salt and Pepper, haters be damned. My hat is off to the fine folks who run this place. read more

This place isn't bad (3 stars is still good) and for value/amount of food it's good. It's a lunch spot outside of the Gap and good for people who want to just grab and go. With that said they offer a wide range of ethnic cuisines from Spanish food - like roast pork over rice and beans with a little salad on the side, to Indian buffet like fare - like paneer and tiki masala over basmatti. There are other things there and it seems like the food rotates with different things as well. The seating area is pretty clean, but not really welcoming. It's like a cafeteria with a bunch of different things you could get and pay at one register. read more

Service; lack there of. Lol it's 100% a family business. Looks like father and son run the grill, mother on the register & the sister takes care of the tables. (Could I possibly be wrong? Yes, do I care? LOL no.) So basically this place is like the Walmart of halal carts. Just doesn't taste as good. It's I asked for extra tzadziki and the waitress looked at me like I killed her cat . Then after some explanation the "white sauce" (watered down mayo and some cumin) was brought to me. In all the meal was pretty shitty. So I came back the next day and thought I'd give it another shit. Clearly I'm an idiot. It was just as crappy. So that's it. The end. Try it, maybe you'll like it. I'd like to add the waitress looks like she works a 24 hour shift. I tipped her extra because it looked like she was going to strangle some one soon. read more

I love Indian food and have gone to numerous restaurants in Manhattan, Queens (Elmhurst) and Long Island (Hicksville). I was hoping to find a decent place near work so I could satisfy my lunch craving but this place was pretty awful. I ordered the Chicken Masala and it was completely dry, flavorless and over priced. They charged $11 ($12 with tax) for the order and basically jammed in a ton of rice with about 3 pieces of chicken and a load of sauce. I was tempted to remind him that i ordered chicken and not rice. I was hoping that the flavors would make up for the lack of chicken but was sadly disappointed - it was flavorless and lacked any heat. To make matters worse, the server had a negative attitude like he was doing me a favor. I highly recommend to punt on the Indian food in this establishment. read more

Sandwiches, soup, salad... midtown lunch gets old fast. I probably wouldn't be into Salt and Pepper if there was a more diverse selection of food around here. Salt and Pepper is really ghetto. It's a hole-in-the-wall with American, Italian, Indian, and Pakistani food. Four cuisines in one? Reason to worry right? It must be ok though because there's always a line for the chicken, pasta, lasagna, etc. I usually walk straight to the back for the Indian/Pakistani food, which good just becuase it's so spicy. I usually get the $6 vegetable platter with vegetable rice and two vegetables - okra, broccoli, cauliflower, or chickpeas. Sometimes I feel like I'm not getting enough vegetables, but the platter is huge. As a reference, it's probably the size of a Chipotle burrito bowl plus extra rice. Because I love spicy, I'll pick up the jalapeno peppers and raw onion on the side. You can also get a little side of light green yogurt. I still haven't figured out what it is because it doesn't taste like much to me, but I have noticed that it kills the burning feeling in my mouth if I get too ambitious with the peppers. So in short, if you're bored of your lunch, give Salt and Pepper a try. And only eat when you don't have a meeting after lunch because you will get food coma. read more

Look, at Salt & Pepper, you get what you pay for, and what you pay is $5 for two slices of pizza and a can of soda. The pizza is par-cooked and waiting for you to order - so whatever pie you decide upon will be thrust into the oven for a quick refire before it gets to you. The result is, well...worth $5. Might even be worth up to $6. Other items available from Salt & Pepper include halal food (Islamic-dietary-legal), Indian food, vaguely-by-association American (like roasted chicken or beef stew). All of that food is out in warming containers and ready to either please your palate or rock your rectum. Such is life. If you think I'm being mean here, just look at one of the pictures below: an eggroll and cup of coffee for $2. Dare you. The problem here is that there are so many choices for pizza and Middle Eastern food in New York, and even on the same block, that even though the staff was nice (even to a guy wearing a Los Angeles Lakers jacket) and clientele kept to themselves - watching the television mounted on the wall - the atmosphere feels like you're in a train station. So, look, if you pass Salt & Pepper and need two slices of pizza and a can of soda fast and you've got a 5er on you, it'll work. But don't be surprised if you're underwhelmed. read more

The guys who work here are so nice! I was staying at the Pennsylvania Hotel right across the street and despite how high volume this place can be, one man in particular remembered me AND what I ordered. Their Indian food is amazing. I recommend their lentils, chicken curry, jasmine rice, and tandoori chicken! Don't forget to ask for naan. Their prices are so reasonable; this place has huge portions that served as a meal and a half for me! read more

Rude staff mainly. Counter person. He didn't have our change back . And keep saying I have to see CCTV cause he forget about our pay. And refused to pay. They didn't see CCTV. It's look like owner doesn't care . And their food grade is not good as before read more

Salt & Pepper - Chicken briyani with spicy sauce on top - Indian Near Me - New York, New York

So, I was lured to this place by one of their lackies with a huge sign outside of Old Navy. I was absolutely starving after shopping all day. And the food on the sign looked good. I was just looking for some quick, cheap, good eats. The place is a little of an eyesore, but I thought ok, I'll just order from their buffet of food and be on my way. No- they want you to sit down for table service like a normal restaurant. No ordering yourself. Ok, I have no issue with table service, but at least clean the tables off and give me the real dining experience of not having to eat off of thin paper plates with flimsy plastic utensils! Then you have the nerve to look for a tip after I had to repeatedly ask for my drink! This place should establish itself like a proper restaurant if they want waitstaff. The food was so so-they call themselves serving an array of Latin, Indian/Pakistani, and continental"cuisine" which includes steaks or pizza. That's a red flag right there. Me, being a sucker for Indian, tried the curry chicken. I had to ask for my mango lassi(which didn't taste right at all-didn't even finish it, and I usually can't get enough of a good lassi!) and the naan bread several times before receiving it. I left a 3 dollar tip on a 17.00 meal. NOT a pleasurable dining experience! read more

At first I didnt like the place, it seemed too small and looked a bit dirty. But I passed by two days ago and saw that they had completely renovated the place and they had added more options to the menu. They used to have spanish/indian food but now they were serving pizza, salads, and paninis. I was quite impressed and decided to bring my friends to try the renovated place. The pizza was GOOD (they are really lenient with the toppings, they put a lot of vegetables on my pizza) and my friends had a salad and he said it was really good. read more

I was just here for breakfast while I was stay across the street at Hotel Penn. I read several reviews and when I went there was soooo much food and at an amazingly cheap price. It was early and all I wanted was some eggs (I had unfinished business with some guacamole and homemade salsa in my room). I asked for a lot of eggs scrambled and the Chec gave me maybe about 3 eggs for $3 and it was amazing. Sorry no picture it went as fast as it came lol. read more

Just started working on 7th Ave near Penn last week. I've been trying to find my go-to for breakfast and lunch, preferably within a three block radius--everything is either really expensive (like Fresh & Co) or not good (like Cafe R). So I see a guy on the corner of 7th and 33rd this morning holding a sign saying, cheap good food! I walk over, look at the breakfast specials outside and order the #5, bacon, egg, and cheese on an English muffin. The first thing I'm told--they are OUT OF BACON. OUT OF BACON? Strike one (and strike two!). I substitute ham. Breakfast order comes up and it's on a roll. To recap, I wanted bacon, egg, and cheese on an English muffin and ended up with ham, egg, and cheese on a roll. Breakfast just shouldn't be this complicated. Might give them a shot for the Indian food when the mood strikes but they're off my breakfast list. read more

Wife and I love this place. We usually eat here when in Herald Square area. Not bland like some Indian food meant for tourists. I usually get curried lamb with Basmati rice and okra and my wife curried chicken with Spanish yellow rice. To see what type of tastes we are into, our other favorite Indian restaurants are: Indian Taj in Jackson Heights and Five Star in Long Island City Since we don't go at lunch time, there are always plenty of table available and room for luggage if you are traveling. read more

Wow this place is bad! Got some chicken curry here and it was nothing but huge chunks of bone. Basically I paid $7 for some rice and whatever scraps I could manage to scrape off the bones. After my s&p "lunch" I had to go buy a Subway sandwich. I work for an Indian company so I should've took my coworkers' advice that this place is horrendous but I gave it a shot anyway. Wrong move. read more

Salt & Pepper - Ordered chicken but got a big pile of bones - Indian Near Me - New York, New York

Flavors are pretty good and the price is right. Don't try getting an extra scoop of anything unless you're prepared to be met with a fair amount of scowling (scowls free of charge). I will say this. On occasion, and by this I mean, a roll of the dice, you will find there is fish tikka waiting for you. This means you can walk in a dozen times and it won't be made. But when it its there you nearly won't care that it was fried in thrice-used oil. The spices are just right. I HATE that it isn't there and I serve the owner my own fresh scowls when I find its not made. To be honest, I leave when it isn't there. #pescetarian. Anyway, no frills decent ethnic food again, on the cheap. Worth a shot IMHO. read more

The food was okay. I ordered the Philly Cheese Steak and it came on a chewy sandwich bun. The meat looked like gyro meat. The cheese was your basic Kraft American cheese. The service was nice. The seating area was very spacious. The guy sitting across the room seemed to be really enjoying his meal. He had this big smile on his face! Wish I ordered whatever he had! read more
