Mughlai Grill is my favorite Indian restaurant in the city, but haven't been to Mughlai in two…read moreyears, so I was curious if anything changed. We were walk-ins and although there were quite a few parties in the restaurant, we were able to be seated immediately. The staff were nice and attentive and gave us pretty good recommendations! To start we shared the Vegetable Pakora and oh my gosh it was so crispy and seasoned perfectly! That got us so excited for the rest of the food. For our entrees we ended up on Lamb, and the staff recommended the Achar Gosht and the Kadai Gosht. Both were so good! Lamb was tender, it was overall super filling and paired well with the aloo paratha! I can't wait to eat my leftovers! Mughlai Grill is even better than I remember and I can't wait to come back! I will be recommending it to everyone!

We were able to…read morewalk in as a party of 2 on a Wednesday night around 6:30pm but we probably got the last table available. It was otherwise mostly full. We got the lamb vindaloo and paneer tikka masala with garlic naan and mango lassi and really enjoyed everything! They had more lamb and paneer pieces compared to most places, which was nice. And the lamb vindaloo wasn't as spicy compared to most places, which I appreciated. The owner stopped by every table multiple times to check on how everything was going. Overall, a good spot!

**vegetarian review**…read more I got the malai kofta and someone else got the paneer tikka masala- spicy, rosemary naan etc. The food is not bad but average. Nothing stood out in flavour. The rosemary naan - I expected would have fresh rosemary and it doesn't. Barely any herb flavour. The paneer tikka - had soft paneer but the spicy level felt like red chilly powder was added on top and mixed in. Not cooked through. We also got ras malai and gulab jamun. Those were good but could be packaged ones like Nanak as the flavour was similar/equally good. Not bad food at all but I bet there are better places around.

The interior might not be up to HGTV standards but we can't all be the property brothers. Some of us need to just go with the flow and that's exactly what the owners did here.

They are tremendous. Best place ever.

Most abysmal service I have experienced in NYC. There's long waits, wrong dishes, or slow service,…read moreand then there's the racist owner who straight up lies to you. After an hour of waiting for our food, the three tables around us who arrived after us already got their food and were nearly done with their meal. We ask about this twice, and each time the owner says all three tables "pre-ordered" their food. I was confused and asked every table if this was true and obviously it was not. Before leaving, we confront the owner about the inconsistencies in his story, but he just double downs on his lie, alleging that we don't understand how a restaurant is run. For some reason, he even started to yell at the busgirl who was trying to get him to apologize? In addition to holding us hostage for an hour and continued lying, he tries to make the racist point that Indian food is more sophisticated and takes longer to prepare than other types of Asian food. I feel there are certain standards in the NYC service industry given the competition, and this was a confusing and unacceptable experience. The food was admittedly good, but not good enough for them to have the attitude they had.

My favorites - The Dahi Sev Puri and Mutton Sukha is to die for. Butter Chicken Wings were worth it too. I've had better Butter Chicken so can maybe pass on that but get the damn Mutton Sukha. Beware, it is unapologetically spicy. It is meant to be so no modifications! Indian food is not for the weak over here! Wash all that down with some Cha and go to bed in your food coma. Go go go go go.

As a vegan, who was paying for the table with two non-vegans, I was pleased they had two items on…read morethe menu listed specifically as being vegan; the Thatte Idli and their Curried Chick Peas ($20 for a bowl of stewed beans). I ordered both, informed the server I am vegan, and ordered the Lacha Paratha for my bread as the server said it was the one bread they could make vegan. When the appetizers came -- I was surprised the Thatte Idli had coconut chutney -- and I asked if it was vegan. The server said, "oh no -- the chutney is not vegan, and there is ghee on it as well. I asked why it was listed vegan on the menu and they said they had changed the recipe -- but had not yet changed the menu. I said, but I also informed the server I am vegan. They apologized, left the new recipe item for the table and left us waiting to move on from appetizers until after my newly made appetizer also came out and was eaten (almost making us late for our tickets to Hadestown). When the bill came -- I was charged for two orders of the Thatte Idli -- until I said something and they removed one of them -- not removed both as they should have. DO NOT CHANGE THE RECIPE OF SOMETHING LISTED ON YOUR MENU AS FULFILLING RESTRICTIVE DIETARY NEEDS, IF IT NO LONGER MEETS THOSE NEEDS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!

Went in for brunch on a Saturday and had the whole restaurant to ourselves for the first 30 minutes…read more- only 3 other tables came in the whole time. Surprisingly quiet for a Saturday. $46 for a 2-course brunch is a great deal for an elevated meal, especially since the two courses come with a side ("accompaniment"). Quick heads up if you've been to the original in New Delhi, while they share a name, the New York experience pales in comparison. New Delhi is a full tasting menu with bold, unique flavors and presentation. New York is much more westernized, a fusion fit for the American palate. Service was consistent throughout, though not the most helpful when it came to menu questions - don't expect much guidance if you're trying to decide between dishes. They start you off with a tiny mug of pumpkin soup, creamy and delicious. The burrata comes as a big ball of cheese with crispy lotus root for scooping. The dal with naan as your accompaniment is a generous portion and the dal is beautifully flavored. The tawa paneer has a lovely presentation but the flavor didn't stand out. Coorg black pork was moist and paired perfectly with the cracklings. Best part of the meal was the Truman Bazaar cocktail - Truman vodka, suze, and tomato foam. Sweet, bitter, and spicy all at once - a genuinely unique combination.

TLDR: Creative, modern Indian fusion dining with standout service and a fun prix fixe experience -…read moremixed dish hits, but worth it (get the butter chicken kulcha!!) I believe there are other Indian Accent locations in India, and was excited to try their NYC spot. We went on a weekend evening around 5pm and had a really enjoyable experience overall. Nice ambiance inside, didn't feel overly packed where we were sitting. Service was great for the most part. Shane, our main server, stood out and he was SUPER helpful in walking us through the menu and making thoughtful suggestions. That said, it's definitely a team-service setup, so multiple staff members will assist your table throughout the meal. Everyone had great energy and made the experience feel polished. We did the prix fixe menu and went with 3 courses each across our group of 3. Two of us opted for the "midis" and one went for dessert, but we ended up sharing everything. Even though the portions initially seem small, we were surprisingly full by the end. One important note: go into this with an open mindset. This is not your typical, "generic" Indian food experience - it's much more modern, creative, and experimental. We did a lot of research before deciding what to order, so here's what we got/ordered: Amuse bouche (complimentary): A pumpkin shorba (soup) served in a cute little cup and blue cheese naan. Both were a great start, and we actually asked for more of the shorba. They said they'd bring it, but it never came, which was a bit disappointing, but still appreciated the palate cleanser concept. Appetizers (ordered 3): * Phulka jackfruit: Kind of like a taco - really nice flavor with these crispies on it and a nice sauce. * Kashmiri morel mushrooms: I'm not usually a mushroom person, but this was excellent. Loved the creamy base and overall flavor. * Potato sphere chaat: Probably the weakest of the three. It was more sev than potato, and didn't quite hit for me. Midis (ordered 2): * Yogurt kebab: Very interesting texture with a nice chutney base * Sweet pickle pork: I didn't personally try it, but the other two in my group loved it Mains (ordered 3): * Sweet corn vadai: Really unique and flavorful - one of the standouts * Paneer kofta: Not my favorite; different from what I expected * Chicken tikka meatballs: Surprisingly good! I don't usually love meatballs, but these had a great texture and flavor Accompaniments (ordered 3): * Butter chicken kulcha: Easily my favorite - would come back just for this, but note it can be a little "greasy" * Daal with black garlic naan: The naan was unique with a slightly sweet taste; the daal could've used a bit more depth * Chana masala kulcha: A little spicy but still very flavorful Dessert (ordered 1 + 1 complimentary): * Banana sticky date cake: A lovely, satisfying end to the meal * Makhan malai (complimentary for a birthday in our group): Very airy and unique texture - not really for us personally, but appreciate the team supporting our birthday celebration We skipped drinks even though the menu is extensive - we wanted to focus on the food Overall, I really liked this place. The dishes were a mix - nothing was outright bad (except maybe the makhan malai for our taste), but not everything was a hit either. Still, it's a fun, elevated dining experience with creative takes on Indian cuisine. I'd definitely go back, especially for the butter chicken kulcha. Only real miss was the forgotten re-order of the amuse bouche, but otherwise service and vibes were strong.
