This is a very fine, little place to get the BEST Indian Vegetarian food. The place is tiny, what you might call a "hole in the wall" but the food selection is out of this world. The best Indian food we ate in the whole of Manhattan was right here! The staff were very nice, efficient and got our meal to us in no time. They had some items that you don't always see on a menu such as Ghiya, like what my wife sometimes cooks at home - so tasty!!! The roti's are fabulous as well as everything else on the menu. They do not have table space, however they do have a stand-up bar where you can eat in. We simply took or order to go and went to a nearby park to eat. It was a really nice experience and I highly recommend this restaurant for some of the best vegetarian/vegan Indian Food at a really good price!

Good food. Not cheap though (considering it is a small store and not a mid tier restaurant). Cash only, also think twice before using the ATM outside, it has crazy charges. Order rotis carefully, they are huge. Their food tastes good but make sure you consume it the same day as it builds a sour kind of taste (unlike food from other places which easily lasts for a day)

We went here twice during our holiday and it’s THE BEST little deli in NYC. The owners are so nice and helpful. The food is DELICIOUS! Both savory and sweet are banging. The chai is a beautiful drink to grab in the morning. Lots of love from the two Londoners.

Have been here a bunch of times, it is always pleasant to come here. Usually I get a samosa Chaat, which tastes great. Have also tried their vegetable curries and roti , they taste very simple and homely. The prices are very much below average. They accept only cash.

The channa was unreal. Soon as you walk in you’re hit with a woft of spices - it’s definitely more about the food and grab a limca if you can

Quick and delicious Indian food that doesn’t break the bank. Highly recommend the samosa chaat with some cha. All the locals go here and it’s a good opportunity to speak some Punjabi. Can’t go wrong with any of the food or sweet options.

Loved their roti and curry options. Pakora was great too

Small place serving wonderful authentic Vegetarian Indian food, I believe they are Sikh. The roti and the hot food selections are delicious. I don't know what I even had last time, they were only labeled with numbers. But the one thing was spinach, and the other thing had paneer in it. The man who was working said that all of that day's selections were vegan, except for the paneer one, which was still vegetarian. I am neither vegetarian nor vegan, but I appreciate delicious food, and that is what they serve here. Both the items I chose were incredibly delicious. I sat on a bench in Tompkins Square Park and ate with my companion. There isn't really much room within the establishment to stay and eat your food, but this is not an issue. I will return to this place many times. I love it.

Best budget place in NY. The food is delicious and very tasty. Try the samosa with number 1 and 4 with yoghurt unions and masala.

So glad to have come across this place! We decided to go in just to check it out but the food smelt so good that we decided to stay. We got a three vegetables + two rotis combo with saag (mustard greens), bhindi (ladyfinger) and aloo shimla mirch (potato & green bell pepper). We also had the double tea bag masala chai and it was so delicious that we had to get another one. Everything here is made fresh and super reasonable! We loved it and would definitely go back here. P.s - they have a standing counter, no seating! Something to keep in mind. However, there are benches outside where you can sit if you'd like.

Chai and Samosa for just 2$ each, that also in 2022!!!!! Homely food! Super yumm and tasty! The owner is a gentleman Sikh. He has been here for 45+ years and serves really authentic Indian food at the price which is fair. Nobody no other restaurant in the whole of New York can compare the desi-ness of this restaurant.

Food and service was great! Super delicious. Would love to visit again!

A great place for chat, very welcoming people and delicious food. Recommend the simosa with chickpeas (chana masala) on top. Good prices. One of our favorite eats during vacation weekend.

Friendly service, tasty food with good portions, great prices. I visited twice during my stay in the city. Once I got chana masala and the other time for samosas. Both were great, though the chana did not have much spice. If I lived in the area I'm sure I'd be a frequent visitor. God bless the Sikhs.

the sauce for the samosas was truly incredible! this is the perfect place for a cozy meal in the city

Really delicious desi food which feels home cooked and is very reasonably priced. The achaar on the table is just cherry on top if you are looking for desi soul food!

Great food ,nice people,clean place Tried the saag,Chana masala and roti it was delicious (literally felt like I was eating home cooked food)

So nice inside, great place to get some chai and roti and channa curry.

A bit of an icon in modern-Punjabi culture. Firstly, when I visited, it was a blisteringly cold day, but I was saved by the warmth of the masala cha and the chickpea dish. The food and drink was great and it is not overpriced either. In terms of being iconic, many of us have seen pictures of the deli on Adidas adverts, in music videos and the sorts so it became an interesting place to visit. Not only are the people nice to talk to, they are funny too which makes the experience that ever much better. Highly recommended

Got a yummy samosa chaat here! Good prices, portion, food and people!

Found this place by researching cheap places to eat in the city before a recent trip. The rest of my family was afraid to try it based on the looks of the outside, but it was some of the most delicious Indian food I've ever had. Price is very reasonable, portions were decent, taste is out of this world! Only a small counter for two people to eat at but there are benches and seats outside nearby not associated with the restaurant. Highly recommend giving this place a try!

In the past, New York City was renowned for its authentic culinary delights hidden in unassuming corners, such as the junction of Houston and First. Following gigs at Arlene's Grocery, Mercury Lounge, and CBGB, it was customary to savor these treats. Although it's been ages since my last performance at Mercury Lounge, I took advantage of its proximity and revisited. Much to my delight, the food remained irresistibly flavorful and affordable! Their menu featured a variety of seven piping hot dishes, with a strong emphasis on vegan options. From savory samosas to crispy pakoras and other delightful Indian/Pakistani delicacies, the choices were plentiful. This spot is highly recommended for a quick and satisfying meal in the area. While seating is limited, there's a standing counter indoors where you can enjoy your meal if dining in.

The best chai in nyc. You cant get a better doodh patti chai anywhere in nyc. This is like the el bulli of chai in north America. Unassuming place, quite cramped. Smells like curry. But you arent going there for the ambience. You are going there for the fresh doodh patti chai with cake rusk to dunk in it

Definitely a New York institution among the South Asian population. Ordered the chai (tea). It was sweet yet you can taste the complexity of the flavours. Will try again for the food next time!

Don’t be mistaken for the size of the Deli, it serves quite a variety of lunch dishes with rice/roti, along with other quick appetizers, sweets and snacks. I’d the Aloo tikki + channa and also tried the kheer. Everything reminded of home.

This place is here for more than 28 years and overall place is good if you want to eat home made Punjabi food and Indian snacks. I ordered large bowl of rice with 3 vegetables which includes sarso ka saag, chole and Cudi. Taste was really good and felt like food was prepared in India. Apart from that I ordered aloo paratha too and taste was okay maybe because the time I finished rice bowl it became cold. But overall good experience and the owner was very friendly.

delicious vegetarian food, reasonable prices and kind people. I got the small rice combo with chana masala and saag and a chai without milk.

Crazy good food! Had the 3 vegan stews with rice.

I love this place. The staff is super friending and the food is delicious. All this at a very reasonable price.

Great food for a great price! I can’t wait to force my boyfriend to take a picture in front of the store with me.

An institution in New York City. Great and affordable, healthy vegetarian food. I've come here many times on a night out in the city. Always satisfying!!

One of the best places in NYC to get authentic delicious Indian food. The food is here is delicious and reminds of food my grandmother makes in India. The price is also extremely reasonable. It’s definitely worth visiting. Great food that is easy on the wallet.

If you’re looking for Punjabi food in the area, you can’t beat Punjabi Deli’s quality or prices. I had the aloo sabzi and roti, both which tasted fresh and piquant. The staff was also extremely welcoming from the moment we entered, offering us a place to charge our phones and seats while we waited for our food. I also appreciated the deli’s selection of desi treats, like biscuits and nimco. Seating was limited but there was plenty of counter space to stand and share a meal with friends.

Punjabi Grocery & Deli serves up vegetarian curries, samosas, chai teas and more to cab drivers on break and residents looking for wallet-friendly eats without meats! the interior is very narrow, contains a ledge you can stand at and eat. the rest of the interior is taken up with various snacks lining the sides and the hot food area where you order/choose your eats. the interior is fairly clean considering the foot traffic. stopped by here wanting a quick dinner to go. there are two basic choices: 1) small rice with two veggie choices for $6 2) a large plate with three veggie choices for $8. got a large plate so i’d have leftovers. i got saag (spinach); bitter melon; and chickpeas. was pretty satisfied and the veggie curries are flavorful and filling. you can’t beat this price for vegetarian eats in the area. plus the samosas and the rotis are great side items with a large plate order. basically all the foods are in heating trays and get reheated in a microwave if you want…i opt to reheat at home bc I always order takeout not dine-in. service is friendly. waits really depend on the occasional line for food.

Delicious, affordable vegetarian Indian food, and a must go to place in NYC. Friendly staffs. Stay safe brothers

An excellent late-nite spot in the East Village. You'll be getting such a different selection of food than every other deli in the city -- and it's such a refreshing experience! Get the large plate with 3 sides if you want a full meal for cheap. Or grab the samosas for a delicious snack.

Located across the tourist trap Katz's Delicatessen, Punjabi Deli is a taste of Punjab in the heart of East Village. Walking into this narrow entrance I saw people of different ethnic backgrounds enjoying roti, daal, & sabji. I loved to see this. They have samosas, pakoras, chai & all the sweets. The simplicity of their menu pays homage to authentic Punjabi cuisine. They have everything your Punjabi neighbor would feed you. Not to mention their plates are incredibly affordable. They have mostly vegetarian dishes if not all. They have snacks from India & a variety of other items. Behind the counter you will see Sardar-Ji (the Sikh turbaned man) with broken English but a friendly smile on his face. Stopping by this Deli was a wholesome & authentic experience. Looking forward to coming back! PSA. It’s a small space inside (standing room only) so takeaway is best and it’s cash only.

Such a great price! Only $9 for this plate of food with 3 choices and rice. Taste great and vegetarian. Not a place to sit in and eat. Better for take out. Small, may miss it while walking past it.

this place is absolutely awesome. everything you would expect from an indian spot. i came here because i saw a youtube video where this spot was ranked as a best spot for cheap traditonal chai tea. not only was that pretty freaking tasty but the samosas are just delectable. light and crispy with perfectly cooked and seasoned potatoes in the middle. cant wait to come back for more

YOU NOT FROM NY IF YOU NEVER HAD PUNJABI DELI- AND IM TALKING BEFORE THE HYPE. ALWAYS GAS! ALWAYS FAST! ALWAYS FRIENDLY. ALWAYS AFFORDABLE. GET ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING, BUT MAKE SURE YOU GET A SAMOSA DONT PLAY WITH PUNJABI DELI MAN THEY HERE TO STAY

I have been visiting Punjabi for approximately 25 years. In that time it has become the Number One spot I have eaten at since I moved to NYC. I have visited at times more than once a day. And while I haven’t visited every week, it is rare that I go two weeks without a visit. Open 24 hours! Never more than a three minute wait to order! The food is outstanding, priced low, delicious, served quick, it is the best. All pure vegetarian, you can have any of the main dishes, I prefer the yogurt curry. I always get pakora and barfi. Do not skip the barfi, get some extra to snack on later. (Barfi is a little sweet made of flour and nuts or spices, etc, not too sweet) The best!

Folks, Punjab deli is OPEN for business as of this message, Jan 12th 2026! Thankfully they were closed TEMPORARILY for renovations. Someone had torn down the sign. Yay

Very affordable home-like food. This would be more of a local hidden gem. This place is cash only but $10 goes a long way here

I’m not sure if I can say anything that hasn’t been said already, but I still felt I needed to share my praises of Punjabi Deli. It goes without saying, the food is delicious, hearty, affordable, and made with a feeling of home-cooking. I thoroughly enjoyed my saag, chole and roti. But to add to this, the staff were also incredibly warm and welcoming, in the most genuine manner. I hope Punjabi Deli stays the way it is for years to come.

So good! Great vegan & vegetarian options! It was a 10 out of 10! The spinach was great, chickpeas, & lentils with rice! The price was amazing too!

An nyc institution!!! Cash only with cheap prices, great portions, and veg friendly! We got a bag of pakoras (so many!!) and split a small rice with two sides. I liked the numbering system to keep things easy and the kind workers. Will surely be back :)

This place is absolutely phenomenal. Home cooked food away from home after 5 days of New York's incredible cuisine. Real home cooked food, incredible vegetaroan food at incredibly low prices! A visit is a must!

Delicious 100% Veg Punjabi food. Just like the way its cooked in Punjab (India). Try Chole, Sarsau Da Saag, Daal, Kofta, Paneer Peas with Rice, Wheat Roti, Stuffed Paratha or Makkai ki Roti (Indian Corn Tortillas). Fresh and just the right spice. And really cheap. Must visit if you are craving for something right for your appetite and wallet. And dont forget the Cha (masala tea) and Kheer (Rice Pudding)

Great local spot. Solid Punjabi food. Large portions for cheap and the owners are some of the nicest people ever. It was great to visit a place that made me feel like I was home.

Authentic Indian street food. Had good Masala chai and Samosa for $1.5 each. Best thing about this store is it is open 24/7. Friendly staff too.

+1

Punjabi Deli has quickly become my go-to lunch spot. The food tastes just like a comforting home-cooked meal, simple, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying. On top of that, it’s amazingly affordable. Couldn’t recommend it more.

Giorgio Ponte

Hands down the best Indian food in NYC! Delicious, healthy, affordable and we the friendliest personnel out there. My absolute go-to spot for takeout. 100% recommended!

Jillian Friedman

The food is great and the service is amazing, I always leave with a smile on my face. The portions are very generous and reasonably priced — make sure you bring cash though, they DO NOT take card or Apple Pay!! I highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area and looking for an affordable vegetarian/vegan lunch to go.

Prateeta D K

We visited this place on Monday evening. We ordered small veg bowl with rice and dal,potato brinjal sabzi. Rice was well cooked and fluffy. Dal was mild yet flavourful. Brinjal Potato sabzi was perfectly seasoned. Everything was very tasty. There was a complimentary pickle and pickle tasted fresh and very tasty. Paaji was very kind to us and the place had good vibes. The food was similar to home cooked food and prices were really affordable despite of being in NYC. I definitely recommend this place to everyone visiting NYC,I am sure the food wouldn't disappoint anyone.

Priya W

For the price, the food is delicious, homey, Punjabi fare. No frills. Plus, the man behind the counter was very friendly and very kind. My food was packaged very well and I was sent away with warm, heartfelt blessings. There is counter space to eat at in the store, if you want to as well. This is a gem tucked away in East Village.

Alisha B

Good desi vegetarian food. Fresh food , flavor is definitely there. Got the chaney and daal with rice. He warmed it up and got no complains besides they should add labels of the items not just numbers.

Oscár OA

Very interesting place. I was skeptical when i first heard about this Indian deli and turned out to be a very nice culinary experience. I didn’t know what to order, i just picked the large bowl of rice and two vegetables. I literally point what i wanted it. It was all delicious. I fully recommend the spinach dish, not very good looking but super tasty. Also the prices are great. And if you are worried about getting sick, don’t be.

sushruth chunchu

Best place for anyone to taste proper India food (vegetarian). I suggest to try bread pakoda and samosa I did even try their thali(platter) which is very delicious.

Damien Bassman

This is what New York used to be: absolutely delicious, authentic food from a little hole in the wall spot on Houston and first. Regularly ate here after gigs at Arlene‘s grocery, Mercury Lounge, & CBGB is back in the day. I haven’t played Mercury Lounge in years but took advantage of being nearby and dropped in. To my delight the food was still absolutely delicious and cheap! They had seven hot dishes to choose from, five of which were vegan. They had samosas, pakoras, and other Indian/Pakistani goodies. I definitely recommend this for a quick bite when you’re in the area. There’s no seating but there is a standing counter inside at which you can eat if you want to “eat in.”

Afaq Zraikat

My go to spot for the best tea in the city! Try the Dhudh pathi, rich milk tea with fresh ginger cardamom and cinnamon spice, with a biscuit (or two, they are that good!). The wide assortment of vegetarian hot food bar is so fresh and nutritious. Owners and staff are so courteous and professional. Highly recommend!

Mr Singh

Singh is King! Really heartened to find this place on my New York travels. Directly across the road from the tourist trap that is Katz, enjoyed popping in and having a nice cup of cha and a ‘gup shup’ with sardar ji. Nice selection of Punjabi comfort foods, including daal, cholae, saag, samosas, and jalebis, but was up to my eyes in pastrami from the place next door.

Alan Varghese

Exceptional vegetarian food at very low prices at this humble Indian/Punjabi deli. They had one of the best gulab jamuns I have ever had ($2). Cash only though (Unlikely you will need more than 10 bucks though per person). Strongly recommend. There is limited standing, eating space in the deli but they do allow take out. I got the roti with two veg combo, and got the palak (spinach) and channa (garbanzo beans) curries, both of which were exceptional. Will definitely be back to try their Dal makhani, Dal tadka and other curries (7-8 curries are available at a time). The desserts were also really good with the gulab jamun (great flavor and not too sweet) and carrot halwa standing out. They also have a good amount of snacks like Samosa, pakora, lays, maggi as well.

I love this place! I was overseas for 7 months and was craving this for the longest. This was my first stop when I returned to NYC. This is comfort food made with love. Chai tea is delicious. I ordered from here for a week so far. Rice pudding is a must try as well.

Raja Ramakrishnan

Excellent Punjabi food with authentic taste Samosa Chaat, Kadi and saag with rice and aloo paratha were awesome. Tastier than most other expensive places in town Their space is a bit cramped for dine in so take out is recommended Price is extremely affordable and value for money is top notch

This place has a different vibe. I loved their food. We went twice in our small trip to New York . Friendly people. Cheap yet tasty food. We had samosa chat and had saag with roti. Delicious and enough quantity. I loved it. They should have more branches in other areas or cities.would definitely visit again

Loveeeee this spot! Definitely a wonderful “hidden gem” as a previous reviewer stated. I was fortunate to have an acquaintance recommended the place to me. If you didn’t know it was there, you could easily walk by and miss it! Where in NYC can you get such a fast, delicious, quality Indian meal like this for under $10?! The food fills you up. They are very generous with their prices. MOST items are vegan but some use dairy like yogurt so make sure to ask when picking your curries, etc. Victor is especially personable. He always makes sure to say hello and takes extra steps to provide warm hospitable service. I became a quick regular and don’t mind traveling sometimes over half an hour on the subway to get there. I usually get a large plate and extra sides to take home so I can eat the food throughout the week. I actually enjoy the community-like feel of standing while eating with others along the wall table. They have all these wonderful photos up to look at as well of the staff and food and events. The food tastes fresh is actually better quality than many Indian restaurants I’ve been too which charge double to 4x the price for the same dish. They change of some of the hot bar items which is cool. I do wish there was a way the food could be warmed without microwaving the plastic however...but apart from that. No complaints! You will have your food in less than 5 minutes, sometimes sooner and it’s served with a smile. If I was in college in the area, I’d go there almost everyday. Great for people strapped for cash looking for a filling and healthy meal. Keep it up guys and thanks for spreading plant based food yumminess!🌱😍 5/5

It's a small shop and there's only vegetarian options. The food was too spicy for me which is unfortunate but it was tasty! I felt a little out of place and was confused on their ordering and payment process. I wanted to pay after I ordered but they said to pay after I ate which was nice. I ordered a chai and was hoping to drink it with my meal but the staff weren't able to make it until I was practically done eating which was around 10 minutes later. The chai was really smooth and I'd highly recommend trying it!

I always drop by for their masala mild tea which is pretty good. Food taste is pretty authentic but nothing special, they heat everything up with microwave only. So don't expect too much. It's more of a local grab and go type of a deal here. So don't compare this with a real restaurant then you should be fine...

Huge portions, very good bang for your buck. We went right at the start of the dinner rush on a Friday. A bit disappointed to see that the food is served reheated. It still tasted really good, but I wouldn’t come all the way here just for it. Would def grab a bite if I’m in the neighbourhood and want a simple and tasty meal. Heads up - this place takes only cash.

I mainly come here for the chai. the food is affordable but otherwise only ok. all vegetarian menu super nice staff who let me sit inside even when Im not really buying anything compact space with bar stool seating and deli/grocery set up

The food was great for the price. If you are hungry and don’t wanna cook, it is the best go to place. It is small and cute! The vibe is great and the owners are very friendly. We ordered chai, samosa chat, rice + paneer bhurji + dal + Kadhi and break pakora! Ps: the chai was dip-dip chai

Very tasty Indian takeout, everything is pretty good, although I don't recommend the rice pudding; too watery. Service is not the worst but not the best either. You pick the dishes via numbers and the prices are listed on the menu. The dish then gets reheated in a microwave and you pay at the cash register. Seating is nonexistent and there are a small standing area for eating in. Price is decent and the food is ready fast.

Nice food and reasonable prices.

Hole-in-the-wall style punjabi deli across from Katz’s with a rotating menu of bhajis (vegetables/curries). It’s really cheap too especially considering the area it’s in ($6 for a plate of rice with 2 veg, and $2 samosas). 100% vegetarian deli and cash-preferred/cash-only. Service is kinda slow but the food is served hot! Food itself was solid. The samosa was my favorite. Do yourself a favor and check out this awesome deli!

AS

Food was really good but THEY CANNOT MAKE STUFF SPICY !! I asked for the spiciest stuff they had and he said he had some really spicy hot sauce for me. With a straight face he gave me a small container of Tabasco or some other vinegar based mild hot sauce. He also gave me two tiny green Birds Eye peppers which are spicy, yes, but I asked for extra extra spice so I was expecting way more.

Prayash Barua

We had the samosa chaat, aloo tikki chaat, and bread pakora — all of it was very authentic and delicious. But more than the food, it was the service that made the experience truly special. The person who runs the place greeted us so sweetly and even found a small spot for us to sit and enjoy our food. His hospitality was genuinely heartwarming. A wonderful little gem — highly recommend!

Punjabi Deli is a vegetarian eatery. The ready to eat foods are on display. There's variety to choose from. The pricing is reasonable. One can eat in - standing or sitting (only 2 stools in a little corner). There is also a section selling kitchen seasonings and many (cheap and little portioned) snacks ( I ❤️ this!!) It doesn't look appealing on the outside, but it's worth the try. They have a lot of customers too!!

I went into Punjabi yesterday and ordered a small bowl which consists of 2 vegetables and rice. I chose 1 veg and was told “ that’s on you if you choose one vegetable”. He had already filled the order so I decided let me get the second vegetable with the bowl since I am being charged for it. I asked him for the other vegetable and he put it in a different bowl. He then proceeded to charge me $7.00 for the additional vegetable. His explanation was he had already filled the order. I explained your sign says 2 vegetables, why are you charging me $7.00? I also had not left the store or paid for my order. He kept repeating “I filled the order already”. I have been going here since the late 90’s and the food and service have always been good. Sorry Punjabi. No positive review for you….

Decent food for good price, I wont go out of my way to try this place. They heatup food in microwave, which is totally fine. But it make no sense to eat samosa or any kind of snack coz of them getting soggy. Anyway they dont taste good. Best part is home made roti.

This place is ok & the price of menu items they have is correct for the quantity they have and for the quality. Most of the stuff is not fresh & they heat in microwave oven before they serve you . Its a Ok place for budget food but I feel its very overrated. There is no place to sit to have food. Taste is also OK not great. Please have food here if you are looking for a quick lunch standing & for a cheaper price. Staff is very friendly though and treat you well if they are not busy serving a ton of people. You can also get some Indian snacks here.

Susu

The food is delicious but the hygiene makes me wary to go. The last time I went there was a yellow juice was dripping from the lights down to the spinach curry. The man handles the food (including the samosas directly) and touches the money with the same ungloved hands. They need to make some updates in the hygiene. Update they increased their prices

The food is fine, very affordable. Maybe worth going if you want to save money and don't care about cleanliness. Strongly recommend take-out, there's barely any space to eat there and hygiene is bad.

The food is in the same takeout plastic container it's microwaved in. While efficient, this might not be the safest option. It's okay for the price. The small portion lunch (rice with 2 veggie items) for $7 is reasonable, but the portion is very small. They are honest about how they serve the food. If you are expecting properly (or safely?) prepared food, you might want to pay a bit more elsewhere.

Where is the spice? If you are looking for authentic Punjabi food then this is not the place. The food, albeit cheap ($8.50 for rice and 3 choices of vegetarian dishes), is not very spiced (cumin, coriander, Garam masala, etc.) nor is it cayenne pepper hot. I had to put a lot hot sauce to make it spicy hot. Food is prepared hours in advance so a microwave is used to heat up (unevenly) the food.

False marking or got scammed by employee he charged more then twice of what was on the menu

Don’t have a sense to talk . I am putting this review right now . Food is good not good but best Although staff is so nonsense. Now I never ever wanna come here again. So upset from from my own Punjabi brothers. Thanks

Went twice in the evening around 5pm on 2 different days, and both times the store were closed. Neighbor mentioned they are permanently closed.

I try to not give places 1 star ratings. But this place honestly was super creepy to go to. We had the craving for some samosas and we heard they were pretty good at this place. So we ventured out in the cold. This business is kind of in a basement that looks like a small cellar. Theres lines of microwaves at face level (you can get radiation from this), and a cooler with non-sanitary food handling everywhere. For the actual food, you pick some food and they'll heat it up in a microwave and then serve it to you. Theres a standing counter to eat. For the samosas, the dude tried to rip us off and they were NOT good at all. They were bland and lacked any texture. As much as we tried to justify it, it was just a disappointment. Probably one of the most unsanitary and not-up-to-code paces I've been in the city for food. Not sure what the hype is about.

This place is meant for vegetarian white girls from Ohio. Food is bland, made with no love and even the workers look a little ashamed to serve it. I took a pic of my rice bowl so you can see how small it is. I also got the world's most plain samosa you will ever try. For 10$ , keep looking.

Several years ago, this place gave me a case of food poisoning that I will never forget. I think I ordered a saag dish. Strange and uncomfortable vibe from the employees, but it was late at night. It seems fine to go in to experience the place since most reviewers do not appear to have been victims of food poisoning.
