Patiala Indian Grill

Excellent takeout experience! The chef truly knows how to bring out amazing flavors in every dish. The food was fresh, authentic, and beautifully prepared even for takeout. The biryani was perfectly seasoned, the curries were rich and comforting, and you can really taste the care put into the cooking. Compliments to the chef for such a delicious meal 🔥definitely ordering again!

The food was great and the staff are very accommodating. Buttered chicken with garlic naan for me is fantastic. Had a great Indian meal experience and definitely<br>recommended.

This place is amazing! The whole staff was friendly and helpful and the food was spectacular. I came here with my mom and we ordered and shared a few dishes. The people at the table next to us also had a few dishes and we all ended up sharing with each other. So I ended up trying five dishes during my dinner, and all five were phenomenal. The prices are very reasonable too. I eat Indian food a lot and this was some of the best I’ve ever had. I highly recommended it. They have two locations, one on 35th Street and this one on 34th. Most people go to the big location on 35th. This location is small and cozy and just perfect.

Tried Patiala Indian Restaurant and ordered the tikka masala—really enjoyable. The sauce was rich, creamy, and well-balanced with just the right level of spice. The chicken was tender and soaked up all the flavor. Definitely a comforting, satisfying dish that I’d order again.<br><br>Sustainable Packaging and utensils are the Cherry On TOP!

I was very blessed to eat here. I feel this place is always packed and I’m not a big wait in line kinda guy. I literally was the first table to be seated , and once I put my order in the place was packed.<br><br>Keep your party small , no bigger than 4<br><br>Don’t let the size of this restaurant fool you , it may be small but the flavors coming out of this kitchen are huge !<br><br>The restaurant is dark , small , and cozy.<br><br>Sorry , none of my photos came out. It is very dark in this restaurant. But my video came out ok.<br><br>This is what I ordered :<br><br>- Aloo gobhi<br><br>First off I am not vegetarian, but if I was I would eat nothing but Indian food.<br><br>Aloo Gobi is a popular Indian curry made with potatoes (aloo) and cauliflower (gobi) cooked with onions, tomatoes, and aromatic spices like cumin, turmeric, and coriander, often finished with garam masala and cilantro. It can be prepared as a dry stir-fry or with a light gravy and is a versatile, flavorful, and often vegan dish served with roti, naan, or rice.<br><br>- Chana masala<br><br>Chana masala is a popular Indian chickpea curry made with a spiced tomato-based sauce, known for its earthy, tangy flavor, and is often served with rice or flatbreads like naan. To make it, you sauté aromatics like onion, garlic, and ginger, bloom spices (like cumin, coriander, and turmeric), add tomatoes and chickpeas, and simmer until the sauce thickens and flavors meld, finishing with fresh cilantro and lemon juice.<br><br>I also got garlic naan - delicious<br><br>Naan is a soft, leavened flatbread from South and Central Asia, traditionally made with yogurt, egg, and flour, giving it a tender, chewy texture with characteristic charred spots from being cooked in a tandoor oven or on a hot skillet. It's often brushed with butter or ghee and served with dips, curries, or used as a wrap or pizza base. Key to its texture are dairy (yogurt/milk) and leavening (yeast), while a very hot cooking surface creates bubbles and charring, ( google )<br><br>Food came out fast and the service was fantastic.

Amazing chicken biryani, one of the best in Manhattan. Tastes very similar to those I had when I was in Delhi. Juicy chicken and spicy, fragrant rice. Also, the server was super kind and courteous! Definitely recommend

I would start with off with quite possibly the best but instead I’m gonna be brutally honest and say it is the best Indian food I have had and I’ve had Indian on multiple continents and even in India.<br>Mango lassi, Butter chicken, garlic naan, and the most flavorful rice. Don’t miss out on this small, but delightful restaurant.

Patiala Indian Grill is conveniently located on the corner of W 34th Street, in a small, cozy space that accommodates about 10 to 15 seats. Despite its modest size, it offers flavorful and well-prepared dishes that reflect authentic Indian cuisine. The restaurant also has a larger setup with a bar located at W 35th Street, providing a different dining experience. I visited with a few colleagues from work. I ordered the Hot Lentil Coconut Soup, a creamy and mildly spicy starter, along with a traditional Salted Lassi to cool the palate. For mains, I enjoyed Kurkuri Bhindi (crispy fried ladyfinger), Paneer Chilli (spicy paneer with peppers and onions), Egg Curry, Chilli Garlic Naan, Dal Tadka (spiced lentil gravy), and Zeera Rice (cumin-flavored rice). My colleagues tried Tandoori Murg (bone-in tandoori chicken), Pepper Lamb, Sweet Chilli Chicken, and Chicken Curry. All dishes were authentic, thoroughly cooked, and tailored to Indian taste preferences. You can request your preferred spice level to suit your palate. Overall, it’s a good option to consider for flavorful Indian cuisine in the area.

This is one of best among all the restaurants, I have visited so far in New York. Though it’s higher side on pricing.<br>Its location is very convenient.If you are roaming around Times Square, then no worries for authentic Indian food and drinks.<br>Better you reserve a seat in advance.If you can not, then still okay. Wait time is not more than 15 minutes.

Amazing Tasty North Indian food!<br>Couldn't stop eating! Especially Paapdi Chaat and Dal Makhani.<br><br>They also gave us Complimentary Dal soup when we came in, and in winter cold, it was a breath of relief and warmth.<br><br>The place is a little small, but the taste makes up for it by 10 times over.<br><br>Good place for even Vegetarian people.

Absolutely divine. I have never had such well crafted Indian food. We came here after reading reviews online and it's all true. This food warms the soul. They were particularly busy the night we came and had to wait in the cold. To warm up up they served us a small yet hearty lentil broth. Amazing care and family feel. Quick with a water refill and absolutely delicious food. Silky smooth gravies. Would absolutely come again!

A Hidden Gem with Stellar Service!<br><br>We hosted a group of seven at Patiala Indian Grill on W 37th St, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish.

This place is very close to The Edge and Times Square, making it a great spot if you’re around the area. The restaurant is small with only 4–5 tables, so seating is limited. They had a lot of to-go orders, and the in-house service was a little slow because of that.<br><br>They serve authentic Indian food, and the ambiance is cozy and nice—perfect for a date night, especially if you enjoy small spaces with corner tables and candlelight vibes.<br><br>We ordered:<br>• Samosas<br>• Paneer Kali Mirch<br>• Langar Wali Dal<br>• Lemon Rice<br>• Chilli Cheese Garlic Naan<br>• Butter Naan<br><br>Everything was absolutely delicious with unique and fresh flavors. We really loved the food!<br><br>Overall, a great place to visit, but we’ll definitely choose takeout next time due to the limited seating.<br><br>Highly recommended for Indian food lovers! 🇮🇳✨

Not a cliche indian restaurant, very mordern restaurant.<br><br>We went for evening snacks and ordered- palak patta chaat, papadi chaat, tea and filter coffee.<br><br>The tea was amazing and the coffee too. I personally loved the palak patta chaat due to its crispness. But the papdi chaat was also good.<br><br>Must visit 👍👍
