Excellent Indian food. Glad to have such great food so close to my home. Portions are generous, food is perfectly spiced and service is always great, whether eating there or ordering delivery. Favorites are the Butternut Squash Soup, Samosas, and Lamb Vindaloo. read more

Amazing food, wonderful staff and a great ambience. The trifecta of a great dining experience. Keep up the great work.

Vindaloo is rich and fabulously spicy without being greasy. The coconut naan is superb if you like a little sweet with your savory. The kheer was flavorful but the rice was a little firm and the consistency a bit thin. The gulab jamun similarly had great flavor and aroma, but were too firm compared to what I'm used to. Overall a very enjoyable and traditional assortment. read more

Great takeout place. I ordered for the first time this past weekend. Got Chicken Tikka Masala, Garlic Naan and Butter Chicken. YUM. Delivery was fast, food was yummy. Butter chicken was my favorite! I'll be ordering from here again soon. Happy to have a great Indian place in the neighborhood! read more

Food here is on point! Chicken Vindaloo is spicy just the way I like it. Samosas were nice also. Def. Will eat again.

Amazing weekend buffet. From the Naan to the rice and chicken, everything was on point. Would definitely recommend.

The food was as good as the owner. She was friendly and the service was great. I loved the food esp the naan. The cheese naan was the best and went with all the curry. I will visit soon read more

Solid spot! The food is delicious dine in and delivery. Service was excellent during the dine in experience. The garlic naan is so good. I've had several of the non-vegetarian entrees and have not been disappointed. The spicy level on the chicken vindaloo is not joking around! I was warned. read more

So glad to have an Indian restaurant within walking distance and yaar did not disappoint. Food is great and service was above and beyond. Although moth mangalore will forever be my favorite Indian in NY Yaar impressed me from day 1. I tried to leave an immediate 5 star review but it took a while to get their Yelp page up. Great dal, lamb, and tikka! Naan super fresh and flavorful! I usually don't like lassie but LOVED this one (which came complimentary from the manager after a lot of back and forth!) We'll def be back! read more

Hi, Please don't order food from this place. The food cooked is not authentic Indian food. I ordered korma and all it had was broccoli and zucchini. Who puts broccoli and zucchini in Korma and when I called them regarding this, the person I spoke to was rude, he said it is what it is and also mentioned that I would never find Indian food here in US because it is not India to find Indian food. He also said he has many customers who are very happy and he doesn't care if I am happy or not with his restaurant food. Thanks but never going back again! read more

Veggie samosas tasted freshly made; the accompanying mint and tamarind sauce was some of the best I've tried -- very fragrant and not, in the case of the tamarind sauce, overly saccharine. The chicken tikka masala was solid and the white meat wasn't dry (a rarity!). Naan was light and airy. My one quibble: the aloo gobi matar. The sauce tasted of two dischordant notes (tomato and garam masala-esque) in need of better melding/development. BYOB is great. Service is very attentive and sincere. Glad to see this addition to Astoria! read more

Love this place. The veggie samosas are my favorite. Delicious food and friendly people

At first I was quite skeptical on trying this restaurant, but boy was I glad I went! Food was excellent and the service could not be any better. The waiters were extremely kind and always kept waters filled and even gave my friend yogurt when he said his food was a bit too spicy. Would definitely revisit! read more

Delicious Indian food for a good price. It's the best Indian I have had in some time. The vegetable samosas were super moist and the delivery was quick! read more

Solid place for Indian food that won't break your bank! Came here for their $13.95 prix fix dinner, that comes with an appetizer, entree, and dessert, and will leave you probably stuffed. I tried the butternut squash soup, chicken tikka masala, and kheer. Also ordered a side of garlic naan. All were yummy. Not the best Indian food I had but decent for what New York has to offer. I also had a taste of my friend's entrees of bhindi masala and it was on par. No wait for a Thursday night at 7:00PM and service was good. read more

Food was delicious and on point. I ordered the butter chicken and garlic naan which were all so good. The sauce was creamy and perfect. Will return. read more

Food was great and it is very clean inside. Would come here again.

*Lunch buffet review. Really delicious Indian standards (tandoori chicken,tikka masala,basmati rice,veg samosa,chutneys) serves with basket of warm naan & friendly service all for $10. A steal. Oh & to the "lady" in line @ the buffet in front of me... You know that you can get up & refill your plate as many times as you want to. No need to put 5 scoops of rice on your plate the first round. Save some for the rest of us you glutinous pig. Smh. read more

Finally. Yaar is one of two places--the other, Curry Culture--that does it right in Astoria. Highly spiced, subtle flavorings, wonderful dishes overall. Really great Saag Paneer, Lamb Korma, and some kind of butternut squash soup...mmm. Yar also has a three course dinner for a very reasonable price. But, BYOB. I prefer water myself, and lots of it! read more

Ugh so good, so spicy. Walk by daily just to stare at their beautiful lights. If you order delivery, it comes quickly and efficiently. Best Indian spot I've been to in NYC, hands down. read more

This is my favorite Indian restaurant in town. My wife and I come here every Friday night as our date spot. The staff is courteous, speedy, and kind. Ambience is nice and comfortable and very clean. It's bring your own booze so we like to bring our own wine bottle. Definitely recommend! read more

The lunch buffet is an amazing deal and the dinner service is great, too. The food is sensitively cooked and voluptuously seasoned. Great place hooray. read more

I waited too long to eat here. This place is delicious and the prices are amazing. Great for date night.

I came in for lunch and had the buffet. The place was clean and there were plenty of great tasting options. I can't believe how great the selection and food was for only $10 a person! read more

We came here with my bf after reading the reviews on Yelp and we were satisfied overall. The place is clean, the staff is so cheerful, the food was good. I got pri fix with Tikka Masala entree which tasted really good the chicken was really juicy. The pre fix menu was lil bit too much for me. I couldnt finish the masala, with the appetizers I got super full. The prices are really good. read more

The pre fix course menu has so many options and the food is amazing!! The service is incredible and the best part of this restaurant is the BYOB policy! There's a liquor store across the street so we were able to pick up a desert wine "Dolce Volo" which went great with our spicy tikka masala entree. Must come!!!! read more

After reading so many good reviews we decided to try this place. I must say took us 30 mins to find a parking. Parking is extremely difficult especially if it is Sunday. Loved the service. Everyone was polite and attentive. They warmly welcomed us and were checking on us regularly. The food was great too. They have limited choices in buffet but enough to satisfy the need. Loved the samosa and tandoori chicken. Rice pudding was great as well. This place is rated "A". It is clean and well maintained. read more

The best place to dine in when you are looking for a nice Indian restaurant with better environment and excellent food. I was there one day just to try out feeling hungry with my friends. At first when we entered we liked the layout of the restaurant. The employees were very good and helpful. Since we were hungry, we asked one of the employees to order the best food they have by themselves. We hot chicken samosa, sheesh kabob, chicken curry, and goat curry. The food was awesome. Every dishes were well cooked and properly minced with herbs and spices. I am planning to take my wife with me next time and dine in again. I recommend everyone to go and try this place. This place is very good. read more

After being lured in by their samosa samples last week, I was thrilled to stop into Yaar today for lunch. We were warmly greeted and immediately presented with friendly conversation and recommendations from the menu. The appetizers we ordered were fantastic. The roasted cauliflower, fig cutlets, and samosa trios were all unique and perfectly cooked. The lamb samosa, combined with the cilantro-mint chutney, was especially delicious. The chicken tikka masala did not disappoint either. Perhaps some of the best I've ever had. The chicken was melty and tender, and the sauce was perfect when smothered all over the jasmine rice. We'll certainly be coming back to try some more from their menu. Can't wait for the lunch buffet! read more

Great Indian food! The only Indian restaurant around and they provide excellent service and probably some of the most delicious Indian food I have sampled. The location is really convenient right next to the ditmars blvd stop on the N. Highly recommend. read more

I always order take out from Yaar and always love it. They're consistently great with a warm staff and huge portions for the price! I'm in love with their Chana Masala that I won't order it from anywhere else. Do yourself a favor and grab some amazing Indian food from this place. read more

This place is amazing - best samosas I have ever had. Im a vegetarian and I really live the options! So glad I found this place

Tried it once and the portions are enough to share. I really liked the veggie samosas. I'll be back with friends to do real damage.

clean restaurant and friendly, attentive service, the only problem is that it's a bit cold. full and varied menu attentive to the needs of vegetarians. Over the weekend c is the buffet to have brunch and despite little food costs is very fresh and tasty. Waiters very kind. read more

Great Indian buffet for only $10.95! Even if you don't eat that much this place is worth it. There's not a ton of selection, but it satisfied my cravings. I enjoyed the tandoori chicken the most. It was so juicy. The fresh naan bread that they serve is amazing and I had to order a second batch. read more

A diverse menu and super fast delivery! The lamb samosa is definitely a favorite of mine.

Great service and great prefix menu that fills you up! They come and assist you right away and make the meal very enjoyable

Finally! Excellent Indian food in Astoria at reasonable prices. And the buffet is excellent as well. Great service. Quiet atmosphere. Love it! read more

Love this place. It's become my go-to Indian food restaurant due to location (right off the Ditmars stop) and the prices are pretty reasonable for the portions and quality. I've pretty much tried most of their non-vegetarian entrees and I've not been disappointed. I also love their chicken samosas! Great service, fast delivery and great food! Go now! read more
