My friend and I really enjoyed eating at Agra,It was a last minute decision but it was The right decision.The prices are really reasonable and the food in fact is really tasty.Though the restaurant is small in size the decor was charming I will say.The service was up to par.Overall it was a delightful experience and I will definitely go back and will recommend it to my friends.
The hubby and I are kinda obsessed with their cheese naan. They are packed with gooey cheese that I think it may be more cheese than naan… Yassss queen!!
I also love their paneer makhani which is 3 of the most decadent ingredients- butter, cream and cheese. It is a dish worse spending your cheat meal on hands down.
The staff is always friendly, helpful and accessible. We came here for the first time for a birthday. They easily accommodate big and small intimate parties. I recommend this place to get your fill on Indian cuisine. I trust you will leave satisfied.
It's a little hard to find this place. There is a very large sign outside but you have to go through these unassuming doors and upstairs to the second floor where the restaurant is. The advantage though is that you have a nice view of the street while you dine. If you are with people who can't walk up a steep flight of narrow stairs, this isn't the restaurant for you. Inside, it is very well decorated and it is an intimate setting. There are two main rooms with plenty of tables, though I would recommend sitting near the windows with the bird's eye view of the street. We had the potato samosas to start and the chicken tikka masala for dinner. Everything was extremely good. The masala was flavorful, creamy, and made with high quality white meat chicken which is surprisingly rare at many Indian restaurants. The prices were quite affordable and the service was exactly on point. I really enjoyed my time here and it surely will be my go to Indian restaurant in the area.
I came here for a lab dinner and this was the closet Indian restaurant to school. The staff is very attentive and the entrance is far from ideal. You have to walk up the stairs and turn right. The bathroom is located outside of the restaurant.
Garlic Naan – needs more garlic!
Kashmiri Naan – this is something I've never seen before, if you have a sweet tooth like me, you will like this. It's sweetened coconut, pieces of almond and raisins.
Onion Naan – bland
Vegetable Samosa – the usual mash potato with a crispy barrier
Vegetable Vindaloo – very spicy! Pair with naan for a perfect meal.
Overall, I would travel midtown for Indian if I wanted a great Indian meal but for convenience, this is okay.
Super delicious Indian food.
It's up a set of stairs. I always leave feeling like I'm about to pop. It's soo great and cozy and comfortable.
I especially love the chicken tikka and the naan.
A hidden gem. First, find the entrance, then ring the bell and wait to get buzzed in, ascend an iffy set of stairs, find the door and enter. You won't be disappointed. A nicely decorated Indian restaurant awaits, two small dining rooms with friendly service and the same Indian sound track that's been playing for the last 10 years. Plus the wait staff is exactly the same, and they don't get any older.
This restaurant is consistently good. The breads are good, especially keema paratha, and there's a nice selection of wines by the glass. You can find all the standards here, but also dishes that are unusual, like bombay calamari and chicken livers, served as a delicious appetizer and an entree. Vegetarian options abound. They are mighty good. The food is prepared to order, so it takes some time, be prepared to wait.
Be sure to check the end of the menu for the thali dinner. This allows you to select two curries off the menu plus all the side dishes and dessert for a very reasonable price. Only problem, the space is a little cramped, you may be very close to other diners. Bottom line, in this upscale Manhattan neighborhood, you really can't do better than Agra for casual dining.
I came here on a dinner date. I instantly felt cool as Its on the 2nd floor of a building. I felt like a hidden gem. The decor is really pretty with Indian wall coverings and tons of lamps. The space is good. I didn't brush up against any elbows while eating. The service was good. The servers were pretty quiet and courteous. We received our food pretty quickly, within 5-10 minutes. Speaking about the food, it rocked. The chicken liver is super flavorful. They have over 10 different types of breads to choose from and accompany a meal. The veggie soup is savory while the coconut soup is sweet. The chicken liver appetizer was flavorful, a hit at our table. The food arrived very hot. Wait a few minutes and be careful not to burn your tongue. I am so coming back.
Don't be turned off by the fact that it's up the stairs and the bathroom is in the hallway. Yes, it's not like the ground floor restaurants at first sight but the food is good and the service is good too. Worth a try if you're craving Indian food and you're in the area.
