Good Indian food, everything has a lot of cream in it (go figure). Portions were a little smaller than I was hoping for an Indian restaurant where usually tables order for family style.

It is one of the best Indian restaurants in NYC! The flavors are so authentic. We went for their new Bottomless brunch and it was a delicious experience. Their patio is so perfect for a brunch! They serve Guava mojitos as a brunch cocktail! It is the best brunch cocktail we had had… we even tried passion fruit mojito which was delicious.

I stumbled upon Imli and caught the lunch special just before closing and they were very kind to accommodate me. A fantastic price for an appetizer (chicken 1st Av), main (lamb rogan josh), naan, rice, dal and dessert (gulab jamun)! I ordered a traditional chai too which was served in a large mug and steaming hot! I am very well versed in Indian food from my upbringing and the ingredients were all extremely fresh. It was a delicious lunch and the staff were so warm and friendly. Special shout out to Karan for being an amazing ambassador for the restaurant – knowledgeable and very gracious. Thank you Imli, I will be back!

If I could give this restaurant 10 stars, I would. I am genuinely in love with everything about this place. The vibe, the food and the staff are as amazing as you could ever hope to have. The tables and atmosphere is beautiful and calming. The staff is so nice and accommodating. I already have a feeling Chef Piyush is going to be a Michelin Chef. The plates are the perfect size and portion and the flavors are unlike anything I have ever experienced. Every lamb dish I had exceeded all my expectations. The drinks are also unique and out of this world. This restaurant is perfect and I recommend Imli as one of my most favorite restaurants. I am already counting the moments until I can come back. Thank you so much Chef Piyush, Antoni, Vincent, Jessie and the entire staff for the perfect experience .

NYC has a lot of restaurants that serve Indian food. We went on a Monday night. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. My wife and I shared the Chicken Tikka Masala, Butter Chicken which we ordered spicy ️ and it was and was very good. We also had a side order of Garlic Naan which was great for dipping in the sauces with or entrees The food and service was very good. Check it out‼️

We generally stay on the west side for our culinary track. With that said form time to time we venture over to the East side. Glad we did this time. Food is pretty good and worth an out of your way stop. Service a bit slow, but friendly.
