Yeah! We've picked up takeout from here multiple times, and it never disappoints. CAREFUL WITH THE VINDALOO – it's already spicy, if you ask for it spicier, they don't mess around (my husband, heat-lover, could not handle it).
I usually order the chicken tikka masala, always great, and has just a hint of heat (enough for me, a medium-salsa girl).
The samosas are crispy, wonderful, and filling. Naan, poori, and aloo paratha all good. We plan to branch out into other dishes soon and will update.
Service over the phone and when we pick up is always friendly and accurate, and they've never screwed up an order in the 10 or so times we've gotten takeout. Woohoo!
As someone belonging to a family that doesn't like Indian food, this restaurant is an amazing addition to my neighborhood. I ordered some Tikki Masala for a takeout dinner and received one of the of better indian meals i've had. The sauce had a carefully curated balance between the richness of cream and the savory tomato flavors. I've seen a lot of Masalas that fail to keep the chicken juicy, but this place was able to excel in maintaining the plump chicken flavor.
If you like naan, you should try their Garlic Naan. Their Naan is soft and the subtle garlic flavor adds a strange addictiveness.
I look forward to seeing what other great indian cuisine i can find here.
Very good Bayside Indian restaurant is actually better than most places in Hicksville. Wonderful samosas, a fire hot but seriously delicious chicken tikka masala and a very flavorful lamb rogan josh. Our entrees came with basmati rice, lentils and cabbage. Prices are lower than I'm use to paying for Indian but the quality of the food is higher. Nothing fancy, just very good cooking. Service wasn't perfect but still mostly courteous. Only gripe of the dining room is extremely dark so it wasn't so easy to read the menu. I look forward to coming back here and highly recommend it.
Amazing food for an amazing price! The decor is super cute as well, you will feel like you are sitting in a zen den. The food is definitely authentic, so be wary of spice. The naan is amazing as well as the curry lamb dish. I would recommend this place to anyone. Very cute for a date night or a girls night. Reasonably priced bottles of wine as well. Cheers!
Came here for lunch again with some friends. I still consider this the best Indian place in the Bayside area. The waitress w had this time was much more knowledgeable and we were able to successfully get all the food without cilantro.
Of you have never tried Indian before ,come here for lunch and order chicken tikka masala
I think most Indian places are good so if you're in bayside and craving Indian, come here!
First of all, the place is decorated like a fancy upscale restaurant and has a faint scent of spices that gets your stomach excited. I was ready to eat.
They start you off with these thin paper like crackers with a few different sauces. My favorite was the green one made from cilantros. I liked it so much that I kept eating with my naan bread.
I got chicken tandoori and it was GREAT! what I liked most was all the other little things they give you with the chicken. You get these yellow cabbages and lentil thing that was so flavorful I finished both with my rice. Not gonna lie, I liked my side dishes so much that I couldn't finish my chicken. Mind you they give you pretty much a whole chicken – thighs, breast, wing, drumstick. It was a lot of food but it was good as leftovers too.
My waiter was great at keeping tabs with me, but didn't overstep. I was having a pretty serious conversation with my friend and he took notice. We probably were there for two hours but he didn't say anything. THUMBS UP
I've been here only a handful of times, and I must say that I do like it here. When you walk in, the ambiance is soothing.
While looking at the menu, they serve you papadum, crisp lentil wafers served with cilantro and tamarind chutneys. Always good.
The last time I was here, I ordered the:
– Chana Masala sauteed chickpeas & onions in tamarind sauce
– Shrimp Vindaloo shrimp cooked in red chili simmered in spicy masala
– Mango Lassi
– Roti
Can't go wrong with these dishes. I've also ordered for take out:
– chicken tikka masala
– Aloo Chana potatoes & chickpeas sauteed with tomatoes & tamarind
– naan
All entrees are served with rice. For the handful of times that I've come here, I've been really satisfied with both the food and service. I do recommend coming here.
Good, food and good service. Been here twice and the food was good both times. The samosas are a bit different than the typican Desi samosas. They are wrapped in the same dough as the potato samosas instead of the fill wrapped typical beef samosas. I'm not sure if its halal or not. They do serve alcohol, if that's a factor for you. The chicken tikka masala is sweet and savory, not spicy. The naan was delicious and so was the tandoori chicken. The Breast was a bit dry though. The food comes with daal. Free delicious daal? Yum. The legs were perfectly cooked. We will definitely be back.
