The food is excellent. However, the whole experience was ruined by a very very loud family sitting behind us to an extend that we were unable to speak with each other without shouting and straining our throat. It would be good if the staff can ask groups being very loud to keep it a little down so it is enjoyable to everyone.

Response from the owner

One of the best Indian dining experiences we’ve had in NYC! The food was absolutely delicious with authentic Indian flavors and so many varieties to choose from. Every dish tasted fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The kebabs were especially outstanding, full of smoky flavor and spices. The staff was warm and attentive, and the cozy ambiance made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this place for anyone craving real Indian food with amazing taste and quality!

I was scared by the bad yelp reviews but the food was actually good. The naan was fresh and fluffy. The chicken and cauliflower dishes were well seasoned and not dry<br>Paneer appetizer was delicious. Didn’t need a reservation. The table next to us was really loud and screaming tho. Didn’t like that you have to order the rice separately. An app, 2 mains, 1 naan and 1 order of rice came out to $80 after tax and tip so not the most expensive spot but Definitely not cheap. Mains were around 20 ish

Response from the owner

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Jaimie. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the fresh naan, well-seasoned chicken and cauliflower dishes, and the paneer appetizer. We appreciate your honest feedback about the noise and the separate rice order. We’re always looking for ways to improve our guests’ experience and your insights are valuable to us. We hope to welcome you back soon for another delicious meal in a more peaceful setting!

Very good food, flavorful and with many grilled options for a relatively healthier Indian meal. The bhatti da murgh chicken had a tough and complex flavor and the meat was very tender and juicy. The grilled five spiced paneer was also surprisingly tasty.<br><br>The waiter was very friendly despite having a tough day working alone during the blizzard.

Response from the owner

Dear Javier, thank you for sharing such a thoughtful and detailed review. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the flavorful grilled options, especially the Bhatti da Murgh chicken and the five-spiced paneer. It’s wonderful to know the chicken’s tender and juicy texture stood out to you. Your feedback about the complex flavor is truly appreciated, as we strive to balance authentic spices while keeping our dishes enjoyable. We look forward to welcoming you back soon to explore more of our menu and continue providing a delicious, healthier Indian dining experience.

One of my absolute favorite Indian food spots in New York is Bhatti Indian Grill. I make it a point to visit this place every time I’m in NYC, and it never disappoints.<br><br>Some of my go-to dishes here are the Chicken Tikka, Dal Bhatti, Chicken Tikka Masala, and Garlic Naan — all of them are incredibly flavorful, authentic, and consistently amazing. The quality of food is top-notch, and you can really taste the richness in every dish.<br><br>One important tip: it’s better to make a reservation before going since the seating is limited and the place gets busy quickly.<br><br>If you’re looking for authentic and delicious Indian food in NYC, this place is highly recommended. Definitely a must-visit for Indian food lovers.

The vegetarian lunch special ($20.63, tax included) came with an appetizer, daal, paneer, basmati and naan. It was filling, rich, savory and mildly spiced.

I love coming here, either to eat in at the restaurant or ordering for delivery. Cozy very atmospheric restaurant and the staff are attentive and welcoming. Last night I tried to get a table as a walk in but they were super full, so I just ordered and went home to enjoy my food once delivered. Chicken Chettinad always amazing with Jeera rice and saag paneer. So good.

WOW! Fantastic butter chicken and naan! Manager was a super cool and welcoming guy, overwhelming kind and pleasant and talked to us about the history of the restaurant and how they cook their food. All of the other staff was warm and welcoming as well. The place was clean and trendy, perfect for a date night. Our food came out insanely quickly and was hot, tasted phenomenal and looked amazing. Great prices. The best Indian food we’ve ever had, we WILL be returning.

Food is good but delivery portions are tiny especially for the high price they charge. Does this look like an $18 appetizer to you? And to make things worse the service over the phone is really bad as well. I will not order from this place again.

Response from the owner

“Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the food, and we’re sorry to hear that the portion size didn’t meet your expectations. Our appetizer description clearly states that the order includes 6–7 pieces, and the price is $15.95 plus tax.<br><br>When you called, both our team and manager reviewed your order and confirmed that it was prepared correctly according to our menu. Since nothing was missing or incorrect, we weren’t able to send an additional portion.<br><br>We always aim to provide clear information, fair service, and good value. We appreciate your feedback. Thank you

The food was good. Interior is good and family friendly.<br>However, the service staffs were terrible.<br>We went there when there was no rush, but once the rush started, the service went extremely downwards.<br>After we finished eating, we asked for the bill nobody came to give us the bill but three separate service members come to our table, just to ask us if we need anything else or are we done? Are we waiting for anything?!<br>So we told them we are waiting for the bill, but one person another kept coming and asking the same question again, without bringing the bill.<br>Basically they kept asking us to leave!<br>Only the girl working on the front is the sane one.

Response from the owner

We sincerely apologize for the service experience you had, especially with the bill delay and repeated questioning. Your comments are important to us, and we will work on improving our service during busy times to ensure every guest feels comfortable and well cared for.
