Hungry Bird (ironically named, from their portions to their prices – you wont leave hungry at all) seems a bit out of place on Morris Ave; but then so is a diamond in the rough.A gem in a maze of dilapidated bodegas, garbage cans and discount ".99$ (and up!)" stores Hungry Bird is worth the trek to the Bronx if you're anywhere near here.
I often come here from my house in W Harlem.
It's that good.
Customer service is first and foremost the most important item they deliver, which is apparent in their enthusiastic willingness to meet all customer's needs. Don't like a menu item? No need to feel pretentious about ordering off the menu – they'll suggest it!
My first visit, they were brand spankin' new, I expressed that I am vegan and they told me just order what I want and they'll make it right (of course to a certain extent, as I am sure they do not have vegan yogurts, etc.) Saag paneer (sans sag)? No problem, throw some tofu in there. Samosa? Vegan (and effing incredible!) Motor mushroom? Weird name, also can be made vegan. Pretty much anything here they can and will happily alter to your needs. Their roti is vegan, and the bomb dot com.
How happy was I when an Indian place popped up out of nowhere in THE BRONX. This momentous occasion is up there with my wedding night and the birth of my first born child, neither of which have happened just yet.
Regardless, There's finally an indian restaurant close home, and just for existing its gets 3 stars, the extra 1 star is for just being edible. My standards are incredibly high given the 2 year elite status.
Now that i've wasted your time, the food is here is actually quite good. I've gotten the hungry bird special chicken vindaloo and chicken mahkani—the special is a killer deal, comes with rice, naan, appetizer, and the main dish, 2-3 meals. The curry doesn't blow me away, but its definitely up to par, as are the sides. ****Chicken in the curry was not dry****
Of note, I'd probably give this place 3 stars in the city, but in the bronx, a 4 is well well deserved.
