An Authentic Indian Cuisine Restaurant With Great taste. From South Indian Dishes to Indian Street Food to North Indian Dishes. Lots of variety. Tons of vegetarian options a paradise for Vegetarians & Indian Food lovers. Impressive Menu Options. Nice Clean place, beautiful interior. We went there for lunch & the Menu was so vast that we were confused as to what to eat & what not. Rates are very reasonable. Located conveniently in Midtown Manhattan. You must visit this place for great tasting Indian food. Loved It.👍🏻😍

I honestly wish I were exaggerating, but this was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had.<br><br>Midway through our meal, we saw a cockroach crawling near our table. We immediately alerted the staff, expecting concern or urgency. Instead, they were completely unsympathetic and acted like it wasn’t a big deal. There was no meaningful apology and no sense that they took the situation seriously.<br><br>What really shocked me was being told that the cockroach “didn’t count” because it appeared after we had already received our food and started eating. I truly cannot wrap my head around that logic.<br><br>Rather than addressing the sanitation issue, they tried to smooth things over by bringing us free dessert. When we explained that we didn’t feel comfortable paying for food we couldn’t finish due to a clear health concern, they refused to offer a reasonable solution.<br><br>I had to repeatedly explain that a cockroach in a dining area is a health violation, yet the only compromise they were willing to offer was taking one item off the bill, continually pointing to the free dessert as if that somehow made the situation acceptable.<br><br>To make matters worse, the server kept coming back to ask how the food was, and when I explained that the situation was deeply unsettling and that no one seemed to care about the cockroach. She said that this was the first time this ever happened there, which is clearly not true because if you look at some old Google reviews this restaurant has this issue quite frequently. My question is- why hasn’t anyone looked into this?<br><br>I go out to eat often, and I have truly never experienced customer service or food quality like this. The combination of the cockroach, the refusal to take responsibility, and the complete lack of empathy was astonishing.<br><br>I will never be returning to this establishment, and I strongly suggest others reconsider dining here if they care about cleanliness, accountability, and basic respect for customers.

Response from the owner

We are truly sorry for this distressing experience and for how our team handled it; you were right to be upset and we deeply apologize for the lack of urgency and empathy you received. <br>We take this seriously, have engaged pest control and are retraining staff, and would appreciate the chance to make it right; please DM us or email manager@ourrestaurant.com so we can address your bill and concerns directly and ensure a much better experience moving forward.

Fantastic restaurant with interesting dishes that you won't get at most Indian restaurants, with convenient markings for vegetarian and gluten free dishes. Highly recommend the assorted Sindhi pakoras.

Response from the owner

Thank you, Rajeev — we’re thrilled you enjoyed the unique dishes and found the vegetarian and gluten-free markings helpful. The assorted Sindhi pakoras are a team favorite, so we appreciate you recommending them. We look forward to welcoming you back soon for more new flavors.

Loved the Daal Pakwan, Mini Koki Trio & Samosa Chaat at Kailash Parbat. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The pakwan was perfectly crispy with well-seasoned daal, the koki was soft and comforting, and the samosa chaat had just the right balance of spice and tang. A satisfying mix of textures and classic flavors. Would definitely come again!!

Response from the owner

Ansu, you’ve officially joined the flavor fan club! So glad the Daal Pakwan, Koki Trio & Samosa Chaat hit the spot — can’t wait to welcome you back for more crunchy, cozy deliciousness! ❤️😋

I came here to dine in with my friends, and we had a wonderful time. I regularly order from this place, so I know the food is usually great. All the waitstaff were amazing, especially the one serving our table, Arman. His excellent service truly made our night special. Even though I already know the menu well, his clear explanations of even the smallest intricacies were very helpful. I have been to many restaurants, and this level of service goes toe to toe with the big leagues.<br><br>The food was really good that day, though not as great as it usually is, but that was not a problem. If anyone wants to try Indian vegetarian cuisine, this place is a great choice.

Response from the owner

Thank you for the wonderful review and for being a loyal guest; we're delighted Arman's attentive service made your evening special. <br>We appreciate the note about the meal and will review it with our kitchen to maintain our high standards; please ask for the manager on your next visit so we can ensure an exceptional experience.

Desserts were nice and good quantity, 2 people can share, little too sweeter for me.

Response from the owner

Thank you, Shelly — we’re glad you enjoyed the desserts and found the portions great for sharing. We appreciate the note about sweetness and will share it with our pastry team as we work to balance flavors. Next time, try one of our fruit‑forward or tart options or pair a dessert with coffee to cut the sweetness.

The restaurant used to be great a few years back now it’s just sad.<br>We ordered manchow soup which was fine but the quantity was a lesser than expected and we had to go look for the server to get extra crispy noodles. Then came the starters and mains.<br>Kebab Platter - which was missing tandoori aalu, being told in advance that they got over would have been nice, the paneer was hard and rubbery, veg seekh dry, and the mushroom filling was bland.<br>Dry veg Manchurian was dry and unappetizing. Schezwan noodles were spicy as advertised but that’s all they were, no flavour. Paneer lababdaar - gravy was good but the actual paneer was dry.<br>Laccha parantha was fine, and the green chilli roti was super spicy as expected.

Response from the owner

Dear VB, I'm truly sorry to hear about your recent experience and completely understand the disappointment you felt with the quality and service. Your feedback is invaluable, and we will address these issues with our team to ensure improvements are made. Please feel free to reach out to us directly so we can make amends and restore your trust in us. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

My absolute favorite spot for authentic Indian food - and the only place in town serving Sindhi cuisine! Everything here is amazing, but the Dahi Puri, Sindhi Kadhi, and Paneer are must-tries. You honestly can’t go wrong with anything on the menu.<br><br>Also want to give a huge shout-out to Pretty - her warmth, hospitality, and attention to detail make every visit so special. She’s a big reason we keep coming back!

Response from the owner

Dear Gunjan, thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear you love our Sindhi cuisine and appreciate Pretty's exceptional service; your feedback inspires us to continue delivering memorable dining experiences.

Excellent food, ordered Jain pav bhaji and as we reached before sunset n requested to make it fast...n surprisingly we got it before my son n husband can decide their food...they ordered batata papdi chaat, chhole bhature n they were very contented with the tadte, quality n quantity of food...Jain pav bhaji was also tasty.... Definitely one should visit esp for Jain food as they have many other options available for jains as well vegetarian choice too. My son n husband ordered online Dal makhani n jeera rice today approx 9 pm...n they relished it too much....Taste of Dal makhni they really liked very much.

A well known chain of restaurants in India . Been to their Chennai branch . I always love their chaat items .. but then I went for lunch wanting to eat something other than chaat. They had an exhaustive menu .. looking around the menu , my eyes were obviously wanting the Chole batura :) I know it’s one of their best seller there. .i still wanted to check if anything else .. after I ordered they said there was a lunch special menu !! Why wouldn’t they give it at the first place ? Lunch special items were also not that impressive . It’s kinda a mix of chaat items , Chole batura etc .<br><br>Lots of space to sit and eat . Obviously there is no parking spots being in the heart of NY .. nice location and easily accessible … close to many other restaurants..<br><br>Chole batura was delicious ! One of the best chola puri I have had in NY NJ . Very authentic and the Chole quantity was very good. Batura had very less oil and tasted great .. loved the experience . Wish they had more menu for lunch specials and thanks . 4 stars .. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️

The most amazing chole bhature I've ever had, courtesy of Kailash Parbat (@kailashparbatnyc). To be fair, was is the only chole bhature I've ever had, but my goodness, was it ever tasty. The flavour of the curry was perfectly balanced, with a delightful zippiness. Makes sense given this place is straight from Mumbai. A word of warning. This dish is very filling—enough for two people.<br><br>The samosas and and pav bhaji were also great, but the chole bhature was the shining star of this meal.
