Pearl Indian Restaurant

Had the opportunity of enjoying this establishment for the first time. A early Birthday dinner for my cousin and I. At first I was a little skeptical cause I never ate Indian food . Let me tell you they did not disappoint me at all. I ordered the Red snapper with the vegetable rice. Food came out sizzling hot. When I say it was ooh so good. Lot of veggies on the fish but that was ok. Look I didn’t think about taking pictures. 😂😂😂😂 I was ready to dive in. That’s just what I did. Yes I recommend giving it a try. You and your friends, solo night. Date night or what ever. Just keep in mind it’s not a big establishment but it’s worth the time. Trust me.

Delicious! Great place for casual eating with well made, flavorful (spicy in the best way) food. I also loved the decor- cozy. Also very clean.

I came with 2 other people on a Friday night and had an excellent experience. The food was fantastic and prices were really reasonable, especially with generous portions so we were happy to have some leftovers to take home. All around great service too! It’s BYOB, so stop into Mr. Kale a couple doors down to grab beer first if you’re dining in.

Seems like a lot of people get delivery from Pearl, but we decided to eat in and were not disappointed. Delicious food and generous portion sizes. There's a nice vibe - we felt very welcome and taken care of. BYOB and expect to have leftovers to take home!

Went with my partner-- shared a paneer tikka masala, garlic naan, and mango lassi. All were excellent, service was very attentive. Left stuffed and impressed! Less than $30 for the whole meal

So yum! The chicken korma and service was incredible, perfect for a quiet dinner out :)

I went here in February of 2019 and loved everything I had to eat

Discovered this gem after moving to the neighborhood. Hands down best Indian cuisine I’ve had. Plus the interior is so cozy and calm, pretty quiet so you can have nice conversation. A great way to end the day 🙌

We ordered a bunch of dishes: Samosa, Gobi Manchurian, chicken tika masala, lamb saagwala, garlic naan, mixed pickle, and mango juice. My partner ate everything and I only had the lamb saagwala..she enjoyed everything and particularly complemented the flavors of this dishes above other Indian restaurants we have tried. I specifically enjoyed the lamb saagwala..it was done to perfection and balanced the flavor of the meat with the spices and the creamy spinach. We will definitely try other dishes in the future!

The decore, the warm ambiance, the wonderful host/server… The Food… OMG the food was amazing! So tasty and wonderful! Some of the best Indian food I’ve ever eaten and I was a front end manager of an Indian Restaurant in my past! Pearl truly is an excellent Indian restaurant! If you are visiting or live in Crown Heights, this is definitely worth the stop!!

Pearl Indian Restaurant offers a wonderful dining experience that brings the vibrant flavors of India to life. From the moment you step inside, the ambiance sets the stage for a memorable meal, with warm, inviting decor that complements the rich tradition of Indian cuisine.

I have eaten here many times and wanted to show some love. I usually get one of the curry's, they are so perfectly spiced and delicious with such tender protein (I LOVE the lamb and the chicken) The naan is perfect and let me just say again how perfect the curries are. You may sweat a bit but the flavor is so out of this world. I'm from East Tennessee and this restaurant has made Indian food feel like home cooked comfort food for me. Go for the dine in special everything is half price. You'll pay less than $13 for a great meal.

The food is good and priced well. The "owner" gives off a bit of the "no soup for you" vibe, but he means well lol. Get the garlic Naan and Goan shrimp.

Ordered take out through ChowNow. The person providing the food over the counter was quick and accommodating. The restaurant itself appeared clean and warm, the packaging of my food was strong, they were clearly doing a brisk take-out business, so good to see/know. The food unfortunately, wasn't the best. The samosas on this occasion were overcooked 150% (so, dark brown, very hard, and not even slightly flakey), the "thimbles" of sauce were no where near enough for three samosas (FYI, ask for extra). The food (sag aloo, and an eggplant dish) were fine, portion-wise, but honestly both were pretty bland. Needed more salt and flavor in general. The rice was oily, but had good flavor (bay leaves and cardamon pods). The portions / value was really good, but again, the flavor was mediocre. All in all, I wish I could say that the food was fantastic (especially since a lot of reviews make it seem so), but while it wasn't by any stretch awful, it just wasn't great. I'll give it another go another day, but for a first experience, I personally wasn't impressed. Your milage may vary. If it's convenient to you, it's a fair choice, but I'll still be trying other neighboring spots as well.

I came here a while ago and asked for a non spicy Biryani, and then I received a spicy one. When I complained, they told me these are normal Biryani spices, and when I insisted, they replaced it with another dish that was a bit sweet. Looked like my first dish with something added to it. Besides this, the old member staff was really rude and almost yelled at us while calling him. Weird experience. Never again.

Ordered to go - butter chicken and it tasted like sweet tomato soup Naan was chewy Chicken dopiaza (spelling??) was better.

Dryest Tandoori Chicken I ever had, cold and looks like it was dyed red with the dye spilled all over the veggies
