After so long, I finally got to try Shirley's and it was delicious! My husband wasn't sure why I was so excited to try this place, but it was amazing. A friend had suggested placing the order the evening before so it would be ready on time, and that is what I did. The restaurant even called me after placing it to confirm it was for the next day, and I confirmed that it was. We didn't order much, but what we ordered we loved. We got an order of samosas, paneer korma, and paratha. All of what we ordered was delicious. We were running a bit late, and the restaurant was kind enough to store our order in their fridge until we got there since I informed them that we wouldn't be eating it until later. Overall, I can't wait to have this food again - my one and only tip would be that I would have loved a mixed veg/paneer option for my Korma! read more

No photos because we ate it too fast! We had their food delivered from doordash. Ordered butter chicken empanadas (so delicious), def have it with their jalapeno sauce, butter chicken (delicious), chicken tikka masala (although tasted just like the butter chicken), mixed pakoras were really yummy. I was not a big fan of the vegetable biryani, even though it looked promising with fried shallots sprinkled on top. It had too much cardamom powder in it, and that threw off the flavor profile. Would love to try other items on their menu. Get their jalapeno (not mint sauce). Would appreciate it if the restaurant made it possible to enter comments for the food items being ordered on doordash so we can make a few remarks on which sauce i would like with my order. Please open a location in Riverdale! read more

I always hit this place up whenever I'm back in town. It's just the best. Such good South Indian food. Feels like home but with a twist. Love everything but the beef fry street cart is one of my favs! The service is not quick so place the order in advance. [[HIGHLIGHT]]And it's a pick up window so no seating![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Shirley's India - Indian Near Me - New Rochelle, New York

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is a hole in the wall - not even sure they really have a proper place to sit and eat, but let me tell you this is the best dang hole in the wall I've visited for Indian food - another new Rochelle gem![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I stumbled across this place from an instagram ad and my husband (who is South Indian) is always on the prowl for good Kerala style food - we decided to try it and ordered takeout a few months ago. Best. Decision. Ever! We've ordered sooo many things off their menu - the monthly specials, the parotta rolls, the south Indian and North Indian specials - it hits EVERY TIME. My favourite dishes are the Kerala fried chicken biryani, the street box with rice and chili chicken, and the palak paneer - but really you can't go wrong with anything from here! 10/10, will always be back whenever we're in new Rochelle!! read more

Yes. The food is delicious. I tried a beef Samosa for the first time and it was delicious. I ordered the garlic naan the cheese naan both were also delicious. I would say the food here is good and so is the service [[HIGHLIGHT]]there's not a whole lot of ambience to speak about or to refer to[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] however you will enjoy the food and the service and that's what you're paying for. Definitely check them out They're in neighborhoodgem read more

Update: As you can see, Shirley's contacted me immediately. My review probably came off so angry because that website was really awful! They've asked me to email them so they can address it. Also, they did make the point that ordering straight from the menu is cheaper, rather than through DoorDash, and I know that in my heart, but the website debacle clouded my judgment ha! They've also offered the desert we didn't receive. Their reply was so nice that I might even try the website again. I will definitely try the Nutella cheesecake samosas. Thank you, Shirley's, for being so kind to a cranky customer. TLDR: Good food, terrible website experience, problematic delivery process, and part of our order was missing. Review: I've said in many reviews that we have a favorite Indian restaurant in Clarksville, TN, Tandoor, that we've patronized for at least a decade. I judge every establishment by this spot, and have yet to find any place to beat it. I only say this to point out that Shirley's is probably a five in many books, just not mine. First, the gripes, which have nothing to do with taste, just in case Shirley's reads this (I don't want them to get bored and quit reading before this part): we never got our Nutella cheesecake samosas. We paid, but they never arrived with the rest of our order. Considering we paid over 150 dollars after taxes and tip (which still doesn't warrant free delivery), that's a kick in the stomach. Another thing, I will never order to go from Shirley's website again. It is the WORST website. Slow, buggy, glitchy. It took FOREVER to put an order together. I used the Shirley's website over DoorDash for a couple reasons: one, I do try to funnel as much money directly to business as possible. Two, there were a couple of things my husband wanted that were on the website, but not DoorDash. What happened? Our delivery was still sent by DoorDash and we still paid the more than six dollar delivery fee. Delivery fee? Fine. But that website? I can't get the at least 45 minutes it took me to struggle through that order. On to the food: In addition to the obligatory naan, we got: Aloo gobi with the potato base. Creamy with well seasoned potatoes--just the right amount of firmness. Chicken 65--good flavor, though Shirley makes hers soft and we prefer crispy. That's just a preference thing. Loaded street fries with chili gobi (cauliflower): Fries were crisp, not soggy, and the gobi sauce was bursting with flavor. Chicken Manchurian: We usually get gobi Manchurian with cauliflower, but it's not available here. Chicken was fried, but not crispy, which actually worked here. Savory and well seasoned. Mattar (green peas and spiced cream sauce): Creamy, velvety, lots of spices and herbs. This and the aloo gobi were probably my faves. I think we ended up with the "not mint" sauce instead of the mint sauce. The coconut chutney and raita were thin for our taste. Shirley's has a pretty expansive menu: samosas, butter chicken, tandoori dishes, curries, etc. They also have wraps: mix veg, paneer, chicken tikka, coco beef, stir-fry shrimp. They have a deal on Monday (though yelp! says they are closed on Monday) where you can get three for the price of two. Food was pretty good. Experience wasn't great. read more

I have ordered here before and the street boxes are full of flavor. Today I ordered 2 street boxes and I called because there was a lot of salad and two fries. I told them this order couldn't be right because I didn't substitute the fries for salad. They were very kind and apologetic about it. They came to deliver the difference. Come to find out they changed their boxes but their website did not reflect the change. I do really appreciate their customer service and trying to make things right! Thank you so much! read more

One word: Wow! Was debating to get food from here for a while and so glad I decided to order from here. The food came well wrapped with no spill and was delicious. The butter chicken empanadas price is on the high side but for the size and amount of filling, totally worth it. The empanada also came with different sauces making it more tasty. The butter chicken entree was also good but the empanadas take the crown. Look forward to ordering from here again. read more

I like Shirley's. *This eating establishment is an ORDER AND DELIVER OR PICKUP JOINT ONLY. When I worked in New Rochelle as a driving instructor for New Mellenium on Main Street, this place was one of my fave Indian influenced take out restaurants. They have a cute little window alongside of the building in which they house their kitchen. My usually order was Tikka Maasala or Chicken Biryani. Now, don't expect your order to be pumped out in 10 mins or so. That's NOT how this place works. They take their time in preparing a good meal. So avg waits can be as long as 25- 30 mins for your delicious Indian meals! The wait is S0000 WORTH IT! The naan is pretty avg tasting and the rice is usually prepped freshly. I highly recommend this reasonably priced and DELICIOUSLY prepared Indian cuisine. Small place that prepares with BIG deliciously, spiced flavors! I can't comment on their website and ordering from their as I have not used it. Every time I ordered, I would do it through their little slide window in the side of their restaurant. If a person is not at the window to take your order you need to press a bell that will buzz them in the inside to notify them that you are their to place your order/s. Enjoy ! Buon Appetito!! read more

as a foodie I'm always paranoid about trying new places in Westchester that aren't Italian. Being Indian myself, I was weary of this place but figured I'd give it a try-- their butter chicken empanadas look amazing in pictures! To be honest they nailed the crunch aspect of them, but the filling, just like all the food we ordered lacked flavor. It "looked" good but tasted quite bland. The chicken tikka masala was also quite bland. We ordered the chicken tikka Kati rolls- again they look like they are going to be good but also lacked flavor- salt, spice. Definitely won't be back. I think they have potential but wondering if they are trying to cater to the surrounding population? In that case I recommend maybe they add a mild medium and spicy option for everything. read more

Absolutely delicious!!!! The empanadas with the no mint sauce!!! So good. My mouth is watering just thinking about it! I ate there yesterday and wish I had more. This will definitely be part of my trip to New Rochelle from now on! I live on Long Island. The street box--- so good. I don't know what herb is in the rice but please go try!!! Thank you TikTok for putting me in to this spot!!! I wish that gave me more sauce though!!! read more

I love Shirley's. I look love how they had the staple butter chicken but also have some really fun options like their Nutella Cheesecake dessert. [[HIGHLIGHT]]One down part is that we can't sit down and eat there![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But other that that this place if amazing! read more

Excellent food. Makes catering an event at home a breeze. Creative Indo-fusion foods and authentic Kerala recipes make this a one stop shop.

Being new to the area and missing my excellent Indian restaurant in my former town of Brewster, I figured I would give it a try. I ordered the chicken masala, rice and naan. All was very underwhelming. I have decided to take a trip back to Jaipore Royal Indian Cuisine in Brewster,New York if I ever need to fulfill my need for Indian cuisine. I have to go with what I know, and they are the best in the region. read more

My partner and I ordered delivery from Shirley's. While pricey, it's a solid option for the area. Their portions are generous for entrees, though we did find the samosas to be a bit small. When they say spicy, they mean it! We liked the beef fry, even though it was a little dry. The lamb korma taste was a bit average but had some good chunks of meat! The naan texture was a little different than I've had before, but it's a good compliment to the dishes. read more

Superb food...I especially recommend their daal, cabbage thoran, tandoori chicken, vegetable korma, and samosa. When placing order for takeout, make the choice of ghee rice, it is simply superb in taste. If you are picking up the food yourself, do ask for a sample of their masala chai, it is out of this world! Restaurant highly recommended. Very quick in getting orders ready. Window service is courteous and prompt. read more

This is one of the best Indian restaurants since Coramandel, when it was located right down the block from the Shirley's Indian spot. I love the street cart fries, and I tried the wraps the other day. I really liked the chicken one. The coco beef was a little dried for my taste. If you're looking for an Indian comfort food, order from Shirley's, you won't be disappointed. read more

We ordered a bunch of things for a lazy Saturday brunch. Shirley's India got incredibly popular after a few social media posts went viral and is super popular among New York food reviewers. This place is takeout only and the folks at the counter are super considerate and kept giving all of us waiting updates about our order. The beef fry was a little too dry, the chicken 65 was good but nothing to sing too many praises about. The butter chicken empanadas were truly unique and was the highlight. The Nutella samosa was well sweet. Overall, the food was okay and is definitely worth trying for the hype it created among food influencers. read more

I don't know what to say about this restaurant, but the impressions are not the best. To be more precise, when we first ordered food there (I always take cashew korma and my husband tika masala) it was quite tasty. The second time I had plastic parts in my dish, apparently from packing vegetables or something similar. We decided to order a third time, but this time my husband had something foreign in his dish that had to be thrown out. I am very sorry, but because of the unsanitary nature of this place we will not be ordering here again and unfortunately I can't recommend it to others. P.s. For the founder of the business. I've attached screenshots of our orders. As you can see, the first order was rated 5* In the mix veg korma there were a few pieces of plastic, like salad wrappers or something like that. And in the last order from February there were pieces of stones, small size, dark color. I'm not sure where they were. In the rice or in the sauce, since we eat everything together. Thanks. read more

Food is always amazing and Johan was so sweet! The chai tea was so good! Get this place guys!

I've ordered from here five times over the past year and a half, always getting their signature dish, "Chicken 65", along with a different app each time. Although the apps are still very good, the Chicken 65 is no longer. Each time I've ordered it, the quality of the chicken has slipped slightly, with my most recent order being VERY fatty and a little dry. Too bad, because that dish was at one time actually spectacular. Do better (again)! read more

What an incredible find! We discovered this place after looking for takeout options post climbing at the Rock Club in New Rochelle. We were enticed by the pictures of paratha and were thrilled to discover an authentic and delicious South Indian home cooking operation! They are takeout only but so amazing and highly recommended! We've quickly become regulars and except on a few "not so great" days, every single item we've ordered has been phenomenal. Order everything or make multiple returns and work your way down the menu. The biryani, the vegetarian dishes, the beef fry, the appetizers, the bread, the paratha rolls.. EVERYTHING IS DELICIOUS!! read more

Ridiculous! I ordered food here at 8:20pm tonight on Uber Eats waited over an hour, after the Arrival Time kept going up. Seeing the status as "preparing my order". Only to realize the store closed at 9:30 pm without even preparing my order. If your store cannot prepare on time to be delivered before your closing time, reach out to let customers know. Don't just have customers waiting and wait out on their order. read more

Used to rave about this place, but the quality has gone down as well as the service. We placed a pick up order tonight and were told about 1 hour 10 minutes yet it was about 2 hours before the food was ready. In fairness I think it's hard for a store front to turn out great fare when the menu is the size of Shirley's. I think it's a bit overpriced too, and their portions are smaller. I think there are better take out options in the area. read more

I was in the mood for some authentic butter chicken. I was not a fan of this. There was very little flavor. There was also very little chicken as seen in the picture. The sauce was very thin unlike most butter chicken sauces I've had. The naan was also very small pieces for the price - the butter chicken was $20 and the naan was $5. Overall I don't recommend this place and I've definitely had more flavorful butter chicken. read more

Was sadly disappointed. Overall lacked flavor. Empanadas were a weird consistency and chewy. So much hype but didn't live up. Staff were friendly. read more

Portions are ridiculous and food is always spectacular. Make sure you order ahead of schedule because the food takes time to be prepared. This is not order and in 20 min it is ready sort of place. Give it an hour. The chicken tikka masala, saag goat, beef korma are winners. The chicken 65 is some sort of dish they made up and it is my favorite. Honestly, it gives you the most bang for your buck. The saucy dishes have less meat bc, well...all of the sauce and since this dish does not, you get way more meat. Yay! It is a bit spicy, but not overkill. The veggie pakora was the best I have ever had, but I did not see it on the online menu this time. Tried the onion pakora and it was underwhelming. Total hole in the wall place and easy to miss when walking by. As far as I know, it is only take out. I hope they have indoor dining at some point. read more

Shirley's India - Butter Chicken Empanada and Lamb Curry with rice. - Indian Near Me - New Rochelle, New York

I've ordered from this place in the past but I always forgot to take pictures until this last time, this is a takeout/delivery only place, I always order directly from their website, you get text notifications when your order is ready to pick up, the food is always packaged well and ready to go at the given time. They have a pretty large menu of items to choose from and good sized servings for the price, my wife and I shared an entree, naan and appetizer all for under $45 and we were full. The food is definitely homemade with great flavors, we went with the butter chicken empanadas which were unique and amazing, the mint dipping sauce was so savory and tasty, we enjoyed the garlic naan and we loved the butter chicken which came with basmati rice. They have a ton of veggie options as well, anytime I have a craving for Indian I'll definitely be ordering from here. read more

Took out lunch today, Got the Butter chicken Empanadas, wasn't a big fan( filling was basically just a thick gloppy paste) but I could see how people like them, they should also somehow indicate which sauce goes with which dish if ordering multiple items.however. The chicken tikka street cart box was incredible, ample meat, Rice, French fries and Pita pieces. Absolutely delicious, will get it again. ( get tikka sauce for an extra $1 , well worth it. Overall impressed. read more

My boyfriend and I were super excited to come to this place because of a video we saw on Instagram . The first disappointment was to find out it was only take out but honestly no biggie . We arrive order our food and the person taking our order said it would be an hour , he proceeds do ask for my bfs number so he gives it to him and we end up going for a walk around the area , we never got a text . So my boyfriend goes up to the window and the food was ready , us super excited we open our food in the car Because we drove from Norwalk Ct to try this place out . First thing we open are the empanadas , we take a bite and they were cold , we put those away and try the Shirley wraps we each had the chicken tikka ones and once again cold , the wrap itself was good but everything was cold . After I ate some bites I started to feel a bit itchy but I didn't think much of it . We also ordered butter chicken with naan for the house . Later on that night I eat it and once again I start itching, my eyes were slighty swollen and it was bothering me to even smell this food so I threw it away . I ended up taking an Allegra hives pill to calm down my reaction. I have had Indian food multiples times but this food , Almost had me going into the ER . I have no idea what reaction I got or from what but I did . I'm very dissapointed and scared of how much worse this could have gone . We also spent $68 on this food so it was very disappointing . Did I mention the food was COLD ? yes not a happy customer . read more

Tried to order thru their website, but it didnt work, so had to switch to the seamless website, which worked fine. Delivery was on time. Ordered the Channa Masala, Palak saag, Paneer, tandoori chicken, nan, paratha, and butter chicken. After service, tax, and tip, the charge was $125. The food was just okay. The chicken (both tandoori and butter) was dry. read more

The food is really really good! It's been really hard to find authentic indian food in my area, so Im thankful I found this place.

What can I say more than the food is great! Had delivery and perhaps a little problem with GrubHub but I was so happy to provide my family with Shirley's great food.

Whenever I'm in the mood for Kerala-style takeout, this is my spot. The fish mole is authentic. My kids love the chicken korma. And the beef fry is delicious. The beef cutlets are best consumed when fresh out of the fryer. And who doesn't love naan? Some things to know before you order. India is an extremely DIVERSE country when it comes to languages (over 14 recognized languages), climate (snow, desert, tropical), religions... so why should the food be any different. The majority of Indian restaurants in the US focus on northern Indian cuisine. Kerala is a tropical state on the southwestern tip of the subcontinent. It is one of the smaller states in the country... and the unique food matches the uniquness of the people. Not all of their menu items are native to Kerala, so keep that in mind when ordering. The native menu items are all amazing. If there's one area I'd recommend for improvement, that's to give more accurate time windows for food preparation/pickup. read more
