Was in the area and saw a sign for a lunch special. Ive been here in the past for dinner with friends and left always happy. Today I dropped by and had their lunch special which included a small side and an entree. I chose the vegetable samosa and the Kerala vegetable curry. The samosa had a nice flakey crust with a flavorful and substantial amount of filling. The kerala curry is coconut milk based with really great heat. The vegetables were firm and soft. And it was the great balance. Truly top notch curry for a lunch special. I was absolutely full, happy, and satisfied by the time my lunch break was over. Will certainly come back if im in the area. read more

So to preface, I've dined in and ordered delivery at Seva before, and every time it was delicious, friendly and nice vibe and service, and quick! This time though, for delivery, it was disappointing. To start, it took over an hour, at a 25 mins estimate.The food itself was overwhelming mid this time. The naan was cold and chewy, the samosas were also cold, and the chicken tikka masala was bland and watery. The chicken was so dry and tough too. It tasted nearly identical to TJ's frozen curry, which is a far cry from the dishes I've had in the past here. Four stars because it was serviceable and I know it ~can~ be good, but hoping it improves! read more

I came to Seva Indian Cuisine with a friend who had been on an Indian food kick lately, and this was his pick. Safe to say, he knew what he was doing. We kicked things off with the lamb spring rolls, which aren't something you see on every Indian menu. They came out crisp, well-seasoned, and paired with a cool cucumber raita that balanced the spice nicely. Not life-changing, but definitely a fun and solid opener. For my main, I leaned into a random lamb craving and ordered the lamb vindaloo--and this is where Seva really delivered. Deep, rich flavor with a satisfying level of heat that doesn't hold back but also doesn't overwhelm. The lamb itself was tender and clearly given the time it deserved. This dish alone would bring me back. Service was attentive without hovering, and the pacing of the meal felt just right--no awkward gaps, no rushing. read more

A coworker of mine recommended this place so we had to try it. Seva has AMAZING hospitality and service. It's nice and bright inside and the A/C on a hot humid night was a bonus. Our party of 4 arrived around 8:30 pm and ordered a ton of food. The employees there were so kind and gave us a free appetizer, dessert, and were accommodating to make a fresh masala chai so late in the evening. Everything here is delicious and full of flavor. If you're not sure what to order, you can't go wrong ordering the "stars" off the menu. But we also asked our server for recommendations and he did not disappoint. There's a protein for everybody and everyone left full with leftovers! Seriously cannot wait to go back and try the rest of the menu. read more

Decided to give Seva a shot for take out and so happy we did. Food came packaged perfectly (although missing utensils). We got the lentil soup, spicy chicken tikka masala, spicy lamb biryani, butter naan, and veggie samosas. The spice level was spicyyyyy so beware in case you like it more mild. We really enjoyed it but def needed lots of water. The lentil soup had a hint of sweetness (maybe coconut milk?), but it was really yummy and blended well! The biryani was PACKED and came with delicious raita. Lots of pieces of lamb. The chicken tikka masala had so much chicken in it - usually there's less. Will definitely come try Seva in person and for take out again! read more

Great vegetarian options. The Pre Fix menu was a great value and the food wasn't heavy at all. :)

Food is delicious but after waiting an hour and 15 minutes for a small order I was very disappointed with the portion. There was maybe five small chunks of chicken in a whole bucket of sauce. I ate all the meat in a few minutes and I'm still hungry. I know Indian food is saucy and meant to be eaten with naan/rice, I even ordered extra rice for this reason, but this was genuinely a rip off. read more

Seva Indian Cuisine - Butter chicken - Indian Near Me - Astoria, New York

Whenever I'm in the mood for Indian, Seva always hits the spot. Came for lunch and got the chicken tikka Masala with the mulligatawny soup. The soup feels so nourishing and hot on a cold rainy day. With a pleasant little spice and bits of cilantro on top. Can't go wrong with the chicken tikka. It's a classic. I also love their vegetarian dishes like the Chana masala, their vegetarian selection is great, but I try to get more protein, so I went with the chicken. It was very tender the last time I dined in, which was great, but sometimes it's a little harder and drier. The 19.95 dinner special is a great deal with an appetizer, entree and dessert. The service is nice. I usually get takeout but I wanted to dine in recently and it was quite a nice experience too. The interior is new and modern, clean and bright. There's calm music, and not crowded on a Saturday afternoon, perfect for a solo outing. Totally recommend Seva. read more

I visited for the first time and placed a takeout order. Everything was absolutely delicious! The establishment is clean and very inviting and again, the food was amazing! I will have to visit again but, this time, my family and I will dine in lieu of takeout. Thank you so very much Seva! read more

I went to this pretty popular northern Indian restaurant a good while ago with a group. The place is easily large enough for our group and the staff was friendly. In general, this place is very tasty and this is coming from someone who prefers other styles of Indian food more. They gave us some papadum at the beginning which were pretty standard though I prefer the versions with some seeds for texture and flavor. The chutneys were standard consisting of a tamarind one which wasn't too sweet as well as a I believe mint and coconut one. The only appetizer we got were the Tandoori Chicken which had 8 pieces for $10.95 which were tasty. The chicken was moist and tender and there were plenty of large pieces. I prefer the more heavily spiced versions you find in some places but for the more common non spicy version, this was excellent and I would recommend it. My favorite of the main dishes was the Green Chili Chicken for $16.95 which like other mains comes with basmati rice. The chicken was good again and the dish had a good amount of heat to it but not too much being well balanced. The bit of raw ginger slices on top added a nice tang to the dish as well. Also tasty was the Aloo Chana Paneer for $15.95. The paneer were plump and flavorful while the tomato based sauce wasn't overly sweetened. The Lamb Rogan Josh for $17.95 was pretty standard but fine. The onion base was well flavored and the lamb inside was a bit more tender than usual but otherwise, it was less notable. My least favorite main dish was the Shrimp Korma for $19.95. The nuttiness was present and there was a pretty good amount of shrimp but I disliked the curry. This is usually on the creamier end and it was but it had an odd amount of sweetness not typical for the dish. We also got Garlic Naan which was solid. Plenty of garlic flavor and the bread had good texture. Short review as the flavors here are just good interpretations of standard Indian fare. It's above average northern Indian with a couple standouts with the only miss among the 5 mains being the korma. Low 4 for the general solid cooking and good proteins. read more

solid standard indian fare in an upscale setting but wasnt wowed by anything and thought the prix fix was a bit pricey for what you get especially compared to another indian spot across the street that recently opened. they have all the standard indian dishes plus a few like the kerala curry i got but they cost extra. service was a bit slow but i did stop by late around 8:30. read more

Currently my go-to Indian spot in Queens, either for takeout when I'm somewhere nearby in Astoria or for delivery. Haven't had a sit-down meal there yet but it looks clean and comfy, and all the staff seem really friendly. They do the Indian basics well (butter chicken, biryani, garlic naan, vegetable pakoras) but I recently tried the chicken samosas, which have become my favorite dish there so far. The outside is crisp and flaky, while the inside is well-spiced and flavorful. They hold up well the next day too! Eat one of those and all is good with the world for a few minutes. read more

The food here is EXCELLENT!!! It's not a huge establishment, a little tight but that's generally kind of the vibe in Astoria. Loved the artwork on the wall. Everyone is very polite and attentive in terms of service. My bf and I just got engaged and we picked this place for our parents to meet for the first time. I'm Indian and they're Chinese- everyone really enjoyed the food which was a relief since it was my first time coming here as well. It was a great dinner and I would absolutely come back to try more dishes. We were too busy talking for me to take more pictures but I will definitely take more when I come back. I'm so happy I found another Indian restaurant that I can go to time and time again! :) Also, the goat curry and the goat in the biryani was so tender! Would highly recommend getting either one. read more

Ordered this at 8:30pm and it arrived at 9:45pm. The butter chicken was overly salty and gritty for texture. I was expecting it to be smooth and creamy. The chicken samosas were gritty as well, didnt enjoy the texture or taste. I got an assorted bunch of naan; garlic, cheese and butter which they all came burnt. All i could taste was char. Overall order was $55 and was not worth read more

I went to Seva a few months ago and Love Love Loved Seva! Definitely 5 Stars for that 1st visit! I thought the food was so flavorful and couldn't wait for a return visit! 2nd visit (3 Stars for this visit): For some strange reason, the food just wasn't the same. Food/flavors were ok but definitely not as great as the first time. I asked for raw onions, hoping this would enhance the texture/flavors. It helped but still wasn't the same as our 1st visit. Something was off and lacking, and I couldn't quite figure out what was wrong. Mystery solved: I didn't realize until I got home, that our server never asked us how spicy we preferred our dishes, and I forgot to tell him our preferences. In hindsight, a little spiciness would have made a world of difference! Next time, I will have to make sure I tell them we do NOT want everything MILD! Note to staff: just because we were 6 non-Indians, don't assume we can't handle spicy food. Please ask for our preferred spiciness level. Note that Seva has Daily Specials: -- $15 Daily Lunch Special (ends at 3pm): choice of one samosa or soup, and choice of one entree w.Basmati Rice from their special lunch menu selections. -- $25 Daily Dinner Special: is the same as the Lunch Special (with extra menu choices), AND it includes a dessert of your choice. Seva's regular menu has many dishes; both veg and with meat. This menu is much more extensive that the special menus, which are limited to specific appetizers & entrees. I would definitely give Seva another try, despite this mediocre 2nd visit. Tip: free Butter Naan with Yelp Check-in! read more

Best Indian food in the Astoria area! I miss living close to here for their incredible lunches and dinner! Need to fjnd tjme to visit again soon!! read more

To start off, the service was great. Awesome waiter, food came out not too quick but not too slowly. We ordered the veggie pakora, samosa chaat for apps along with some naan and popadom's. I loved both appetizers and could eat popadom's all day every day. For my main I got the kerala chicken and it was great, spicy but not overwhelming. I was a little stunned to find that the people I was eating with weren't really taken with their orders (Rogan Josh and a korma or masala, can't remember). I didn't try theirs but they also thought the appetizers were just good. So while I have to listen to the crowd a bit on this one I also say that some of the food was well above average at worst and most of it was delish. We went kinda early so it wasn't too busy when we got there but was packed when we headed out so get an earlier reservation if possible! read more

Honest review for someone trying Indian food for the first time: In my entire 28 years of existence, I've only tried naan once in the past, which was over a decade ago. I do not remember how it tasted, honestly. My partner of 5 years loves to try new food and cuisine. After being with him, we went on a journey to eat out at different restaurants, multiples occasions a week to eat food made by different restaurants and cultures (some includes: German, Greek, Italian, Mexican, Spain, Peruvian, Korean, Vietnamese, Thai, Various Chinese, Japanese... *there are probably more cuisine that we've tried that I couldn't think of at the moment*) Before dating him, I sticked to my usual Chinese health foods that my mother would cook every night and a bit of American cuisine that was introduced in school & university. I rarely went out to eat at restaurants. The times when I did eat out, was on very special occasions (which was probably 2-3 times a year). I've been very open in trying all the restaurants that my boyfriend wanted to try for the past 5 years. I said yes to everything for a chance to gain new experience and diversity. Years later, I started to develop a sense of what I liked and disliked regarding to the taste of foods, after all, I've been eating similar but different foods from different restaurants and cuisine for over 5 years. One cuisine that I have never tried with him was Indian food. My partner suggested we should order it for dinner, tonight. I always had the perception that it would be too heavy of a flavoring than what I was normally used to. I decided to have an open approach to trying it out again, today (over 10 years later). Food: Chicken Tikka Biryani - The rice was a bit spicy according to my partner. Since I was raised in a family who usually eat white rice accompanied by other dishes that consists of mostly vegetables seafood, light on meat, which didn't have much salt and sugar, besides the soy sauce my mom used in fish, tofu, & cucumber, this rice dish was way too salty to my liking. I still ate most of it, but I wouldn't order again. Vegetable Samosa - This reminds me of empanadas which I've tried in the past. It was filling and after being microwaved, I can say it was pretty comforting to eat. Lamb Spring Roll - The size of the rolls was bigger than expected. When eaten alone, the 2 pieces of lamb spring roll can be a whole meal. I'm not a big fan of the texture of ground lamb inside of a big roll, maybe because my family don't really eat ground lamb. I still finished it all, though. It was interesting to say the least. Garlic Seasoned Naan - This was probably my favorite food out of all of what we've ordered. It was not too flavorful and it can be dipped to however much sauce/korma to your liking. Lamb Korma - Again, very flavorful, but comforting? I guess. Mango Lassi - It was a sweet treat after a very salty/savory meal. It neutralized the salty flavoring in my mouth for a few minutes (it lasted only a few minutes though). I only finished half of it and saved the rest. In conclusion, this meal left my mouth feeling extra salty, even 2 hours later. Do I regret trying? No, I've gained a little bit of experience in trying another culture's cuisine. Would I try it again? No, definitely not my cup of tea. If you have never tried Seva Indian Cuisine (or Indian cuisine) before, it is definitely a worth to try to see whether you like it or not. read more

ZERO STAR. Extremely unhealthy. There was a big cockroach on the Chicken Tikka Masala. This was delivered to my family, including my six-year-old child, and the sheer negligence is unconscionable. Do not order from this restaurant. read more

They need to check in on their bathroom to ensure it's clean more often.It wasn't great in there,the restaurant wasn't crowded and thank goodness I only needed to wash my hands. Whether the floor is dirty or other things,especially with it being small they need to make sure it's sanitary. They take a bit long to bring the food even if the place isn't crowded and the food is kinda meh but it's pretty cheap given the prices everywhere else. The customer service is fine. read more

Stumbled upon this place after walking around the neighborhood when we saw the 3 course meal for $25. It's a pretty good deal and portion sizes were large, we all took home leftovers. My friends got the Lamb and Chicken Vindaloo and they enjoyed them, it was a good spice level. Butternut Squash soup was solid and the curry puffs were flavorful. I got the Chicken Biryani, which is not a part of the pre fixe menu, and it was good, but it felt like everything was mushed together in the middle. Service was great, everyone was so kind and they even gave me a gulab jamun for dessert on the house. It's a very cute and cozy spot to eat some good food and chat with friends. Would come back whenever I'm in the area again! read more

Seva is an excellent restaurant by Astoria's standards, but not the best Indian restaurant in our area or Queens in general. Seva is highly rated for authentic North Indian dishes and budget-friendly prix-fixe meals. Main dishes include Chicken Tikka Masala, Butter Chicken, Lamb Vindaloo, and Saag Paneer. Yesterday I stopped by after 10 years. My 2015 review disappeared or got buried. I ordered a lamb korma and onion naan with two mango lassis. Everything was delicious; in fact, the portions were so large that I had to take some home. Overall, Seva has improved, though I have heard and read other posts that the quality and service have declined. Based on my experience, I did not notice anything wrong with the food A worthy 4 stars. read more

Fantastic casual Indian eatery with flavorful North Indian classics. Seva offers a great lunch special menu with an appetizer and main entree for $15. Really great service that kept our glasses full and made sure we loved everything we ordered! The saag was very rich and flavorful, a hearty stewed dish. My favorite was the fish tikka masala a la carte, which was so tender and flavorful. I love how fresh all their ingredients and their fish was really tender and perfectly seasoned. Highly recommend this place for their lunch special! read more

Seva's open-air exterior welcomes you with open arms as you walk past, and it's an invitation that's more than worth accepting! We made a reservation (over the phone) for a Friday night just a bit earlier that day, and they were able to fit us in without any hassle, which was a welcome surprise. We started with the rosemary naan (one of six(?) different naan flavor options), which was excellent, and the mango lassi martini, which was a lot of fun. I got the green chili chicken -- despite a verbal warning from the waiter that it was "very spicy" -- and while it had a lot more heat than the one pepper sign next to it on the menu seemed to indicate, it was nothing too crazy. The flavor, however, was incredibly rich, and the portion ended up being more than enough, despite coming in what felt like a relatively small dish. As Indian goes, Seva doesn't necessarily go above and beyond, but everything about our experience was pleasant, and the food was absolutely worth coming back for. Looking forward to returning! read more

I still have no idea if this is the second Seva location in Astoria or if they just relocated from the old location lol. Anywho, I haven't been to Seva in a few years. It's been a while. While the quality and taste of the food was good, man, I sure as heck remember SALIVATING over it in the years back. The sauces and the meat were so tender and delicious and the naan - out of this world. The naan to my disappointment was dry :( but the 3 course prix-fixe menu for $25 was worth it. I'd come back, but I wish the quality was the old days! Anyone else? read more

This review is from an UberEats delivery. We ordered a Chana Masala, Chicken Saag and Chicken Samosa. The food was delicious. The order of Chana Masala was perfect and the medium spice level brought out the flavor without being too much. Not afraid of spice, we ordered the Saag with full spice and it was delicious. The Samosa is a large pastry packed with a paste of ground, spiced chicken - out of this world. The pastry is a little thick (which I sometimes don't like), but it worked here. I don't live in the area but have already recommended the place to some locals. Regarding the delivery, the food was packed well and we requested and received utensils. (I did call to confirm the utensils, since we were in a hotel room and needed them). Each entree came with a large serving of basmati rice, which was good, but not noteworthy. read more

Came here for dinner and had a great time! Pros: - The dinner prix fixe is a great deal - First time trying coconut naan, and it was delicious, it was like eating dessert - The paratha had a perfect texture - The butternut squash soup was flavorful - The Lamb Vindaloo was fantastic, though the two-spice heat really opens up your sinuses! - Good service (attentive but not overbearing) and ambiance (nicely lit so you could actually see your companions) Cons: - The butter chicken wasn't my favorite; the chicken breast was a bit dry, though the sauce was flavorful - The cheese naan was underwhelming, couldn't really taste the cheese read more

I was shocked to realize that I did not post a review for this restaurant. Like I have been going here for years. Food: 4/5 Let me start by clarifying this food here is amazing so, please come by. However, compared to my past visits before they moved, some of the food has become more tamed. Like I always get the Aloo Gobi Matar but this time the spice was not giving. Not that it was bad, but I was expecting my sinuses to open from the first bite not the fifth. However, I still had an amazing experience and my partner did too. Service: 5/5 The service here is too good. They are so attentive and skilled that I made me double-take. Like my cup of water was always filled, so much that I thought it was a magical cup. Also, they are so understanding and great at explaining the menu. All in all, I love this place. The food is always great and the service is better. It is in a nice neighborhood and easy to get to via public. read more

Seva has the best Indian food, possibly ever. My dad was a bit resistant when I told him this is where I'd be taking him for dinner, but he thanked me by the end of our meal for pushing him out of his comfort zone (he said he'd definitely be back). I love this place so much, the staff is so very attentive and the food even delivers well. They also gave me a complimentary dessert. Thank you, Seva Here are my favorite items: -Vegetable Samosa: Their best appetizer imo! -Chicken Tikka Massala: Absolutely to-die for! My bf got the lamb but said this is even better -Garlic Naan: Although their butter/ plain naan is good too, I'm a garlicky gal and this just fits the bill read more

They really live up to their name because the staff here were so attentive. They handed everything to us before we could even wait. That and our glasses of water were never empty. Their service was so good that I'm writing about the food second, which was also amazing. The mango chutney and raita were great sides to all the mains. The main dishes itself were a hit as well. The paneer makhni in particular was the star for me -- a little sweet and mostly savory. My friend ordered the green chili chicken, which I tried a tiny bit of gravy from, which was very spicy but not in a way where the flavors didn't come through. Also their mango lassi was top tier as well, a bit on the sour side which I like. Would definitely come again. read more

This place is still as good as it was a few years ago pre pandemic! The restaurant went through a redesign and it looks so clean and modern I was shocked as it seemed a lot more fancier than the prices! We were greeted and the service was great as they offered their recommendations as all their vegetarian dishes look really good but they were patient with my questions about the menu. We went during lunch special for $15 and ordered two meals: butternut squash soup and vegetable samosa as the appetizer and for the mains- Fennel Chicken Curry & Navrattan Korma with Basmati Rice and Garlic Naan to pair along with Mango Lassi to share! All of the food was so filling and delicious. The butternut squash soup was more on the watery side but very flavorful and tasty. It's sweet and peppery and warmed us up right away. The vegetable samosa was really good as the crisp was there and the flavors of their sauces matched the flavor of the samosa really well. We liked pretty much everything we had but the one that really stuck out to us was the Navrattan Korma as the flavor of the curry was just so nutty and fragrant. We really enjoyed the almond cashew flavor it has and paired really well with the Garlic naan. I thought the lunch special was super worth it as $15 gets you a really big and hearty meal. I'll definitely be back and the flavor has not changed for many years! Will definitely be back and super grateful that the quality control never changed. read more

I got delivery from here and the packaging was not secure. The only thing that came unscathed was the naan. I got the chicken samosas, which were pretty dry in my opinion, even with the sauces smothered all over it from the poor packaging. I also got the chicken biryani, which I thought was pretty good, but my partner pointed out that the rice is really mushy. Also got the parsi shrimp curry, and the tamarind was the most forward flavor, which I was a bit disappointed since I wanted to taste the other flavors that was said in the description: ginger, garlic, turmeric, cilantro. The pros for this place is that the portions are huge and the price is reasonable. read more

Seva Indian Cuisine - Indian Near Me - Astoria, New York

First, call the FDNY, my mouth is on fire. Second, Wow!!! I've been patronizing Seva since it opened at their previous location. They've been consistently good. Then yesterday happened and they somehow propelled to greatness. And by great, I mean, Michelin star eligible (at least in my book). It is important to note that I wasn't very hungry, but my former munchkin was "starving". She picked Seva for lunch after her "intense" regent exam. We arrived early and ordered the usual off the lunch menu. She started with her favorite butternut squash soup and followed it with chicken tika masala. I also ordered from the lunch menu, and I selected the chicken samosa as a starter (which I shared with by brat) and the chicken vindaloo as my main. Both the soup and the samosa arrived promptly. I observed several differences from prior visits. The soup was well emulsified and hot. My samosa had a gleaming golden shine that reflected its crispy skin. It was placed in the middle of plate surrounded by a ring mint sauce and a second ring of tamarind sauce. "A" grade for presentation and freshness, I thought to myself. The rest of my experience is mired within a euphoric gastronomical narcotic-esque induced blur. Here's all that remains of my recollection: Both the tika masala and vindaloo were cooked to perfection. Indian food, when executed correctly, is an alchemy consisting of spices and rustic ingredients metamorphosizing into a delicate, refined balance of the four elements that titillate all the senses. I've only experienced this before in an established London eatery at at two of Manhattan's renowned Indian restaurants. I most certainly did not expect to find such well executed cuisine at a neighborhood curry joint. "Sir" commanded the waiter. "The vindaloo is very spicy". I arrogantly bragged that "I eat raw jolokia peppers for fun (aka 'Ghost Chilis' with an SHU rating of over 1,000,000). Then my dish arrived and soon afterwards followed the pain. I don't eat spicy food to be uncomfortable. I've learned to tolerate spicy food because I enjoy the flavor. This was different. Yet despite the intense and lingering pain, somewhere loitering in the background, was sensational flavor as a reward for tolerating the pain. (The trials and tribulations that we foodies endure for exceptional flavor?). My mouth was, and continuous to be, on fire... Velvety elegant with a hint of heat, is how I would describe the tika masala sauce. Both dishes were laden with breast-meat chicken and potatoes and tasted too good to worry about the semi-dry meat. The staff was eager to please its patrons, pleasant and prompt. While I can't comprehend the recent evolution of their offerings, let us thank Annapurna, for the blessings bestowed upon Seva. read more
