We enjoyed the simpler ambiance and food in this Indian restaurant. We tried the beetroot starter which was well balanced with slight spicy sauce. For entrees, we went with the mix veg saag which had good assortment of veggies and Butter chicken. Overall, a good family option if you are around for a show or around the area.

This is one of the popular Indian restaurants and make sure you book in advance. Crispy Okra salad is worth trying. Paneer Lababdar tasted perfect and paired well with Naan . Cochin black pepper chicken was also good. Biryanis are ok. Overall, a good experience.

Saar, we stumbled upon this restaurant on a sunny afternoon while roaming around mid town Manhattan. Their okra appetizer (kurkuri bhindi) was pretty good. Their sarso saag and paneer lababdar were delicious as well. Salted lassi and sweet and Salty lemonade were great combination for the table. Masala chai post lunch was enjoyed by one of family member thoroughly. Overall very delicious food and later got to know that there is a Michelin star chef behind this magic. Highly recommend to try this if you are in search of Indian food.

This restaurant is exceptional in every way. The food, service, and ambiance are all top-notch. The food is not only high-quality, but also incredibly flavorful and enjoyable. The overall experience is one that guests will not soon forget, with a level of excellence that is rare to find. This restaurant sets the standard for what fine dining should be, with an unwavering commitment to excellence in all areas and is truly exceptional in every way, and sets a benchmark for what a great dining experience should be. And was really lucky to meet Hemanth Mathur the famous chef.

The cocktails were surprisingly good – some unique flavors. Food was excellent. Service was a bit slow and we had to go looking for our waitress several times because our drinks were empty, but otherwise I great place to grab a bite with friends after work.

A nice place to have good Indian food. Decent ambience and service. Food tasted distinctly different from each other and good quality served. We ordered beet kebabs (forgot the exact menu name): tasted good, murgh kesar (the hint of kesar could be tasted and flavorful soft chicken), chicken biryani (good quality but decent in taste), baingan bharta (tasty), Cochin black pepper chicken (the dish was good but didn’t expect the tangy flavor), shahi tukda (decent).
