Delicious late night vegetarian food and very friendly people who were extremely sweet. I loved aloo mutter, roti with butter and chai.

We ordered the $10 thali, which has 3 veggie or bean dishes that you choose with 2 Indian bread (roti). I appreciated that they had so many vegan beans and veggie options in the thali. I think only one was not vegan because it has paneer (cheese). My favorite were the kidney beans (rajma) and spinach (palak). My husband’s favorite was yellow lentils(dal). and eggplant. This ended up being our favorite place during our trip and we went twice. I would definitely recommend some oil on the rotis so it gives that buttery feel. The rotis were huge and handmade. The thali was so filling especially after a full day of walking and being tired. We also ordered to go which we ended up eating for breakfast both days. We ordered samosas, potato(allu) paratha and also mooli(radish) paratha. There was so much love in every bite and it really tasted like home food. :)

Bathroom, AC and a little spot to sit. Great calm spot in UWS with vegan and vegetarian food (I'm not either but it's awesome they have it) and their lunch special is $10 or something, much better than others in are that is $16

When in New York, you can sometimes find a hidden gem in the smallest places. We stumbled upon this place through google and it didn’t disappoint! This is one of the most authentic Indian food places we have ever had. This is home cooking in a restaurant. The depth of flavor is unmatched and is much better than other Indian restaurants we have tried in NYC. Ram, the head chef and owner, talked to my wife and I like a beloved uncle and treated us like family, even though we were only visiting. He told us stories on how he has students from Columbia visit him everyday because it is the only place they feel they can get a home cooked meal. We saw students there and a lot of cab drivers. Some cab drivers used the restroom and grabbed a chai (tea) on the way out. Some only used the restroom and left. Ram welcomed everyone with open arms and definitely showed the kindness in his heart. In 3 days, we tried all his curries, a couple of parathas, fresh homemade dahi (yogurt) and chai (definitely a highlight)! On our last day, we thanked him for his hospitality and great food. He gave me a hug and has definitely left a great impression on us!

I was in the area and looking for something quick and veggie friendly. This place popped up on my Google search & reviews were good, so I gave it a try—Soooo glad I did! While the food was delicious, what really stood out was how incredibly nice and welcoming the staff was! The man helping me was soooooo nice and explained what each dish was, including ingredients (etc). Lots of traditional dishes served on a huge plater; I chose a plate of chickpeas, okra, lentils, and rice— and all of it for less than $10! I also ordered a fresh juice, which was delicious! And while I waited for my food, I enjoyed this beautiful bouquet— there was 1 at each table. Really happy I stopped by!

A one of a kind Indian restaurant in Manhattan ! Probably the only place you don’t feel like being ripped off. The plates are really large (they are not on the menu though, just go in an ask a platter) and for only 7$. You can choose up to 4 different toppings, and it’s spicy but not « hot ». I’m not good with hot food, and I usually don’t eat « indian-like » cuisine, but I’ve been there two times already and will go again! PS : best to order there and eat at home, the place is tiny and usually packed with regulars :)

Very authentic and affordable food. Very affordable by NY statdards. A wide variety of parathas. Very friendly guys. Place is very congested. It is best for "take aways".

Had the thali tray ($10). with a choice of 4 items and 2 large freshly made rotis. All choices were vegetarian. Pretty flavorful. One dish was chili spicy. The rest were well spiced and each tasted different. Dine in, 3 tables, 11 seats. Bathroom.

The location was perfect for me because it was a block away from the place I was staying, this is the second time I try this place and for vegetarians is a great spot, you find a lot of Indian healthy and tasty options, there’s a few dishes like byriani that take time for them to make. The prices are reasonably cheap (but of course, it’s not a fancy place).
