If you want a quick Indian-style meal, this place is decent.
It's a Chipotle style setup, except they cook the meat to order to a spice level you specify. This got me even more excited. I ordered the chicken feast which came with rice and two other side options; I selected chickpeas and some kind of cucumber salad. It also came with a choice of na'an; I ordered their garlic one.
The na'an was easily the best part of the meal; it was soft, warm, and oh so garlicky. I asked for maximum spice on my chicken and they certainly didn't fail to deliver there: it was burn my mouth off hot which I definitely appreciated. What I wasn't crazy about, however, was the overall flavor of the chicken; it just seemed not very authentic and not the most traditional Indian flavor. It wasn't bad, just nothing about it wowed me.
It's across the street from the condo where I stay when visiting NYC, so I'll be back when I'm hungry and lazy, but there are better options in the Flatiron area.
After trying out the other location in midtown, decided on checking this Chelsea location out for comparisons. The food and menu options are the same and this time I had the mushroom kadai with saffron rice, yellow lentil dal and beet salad (kachumbar) with wheat naan. The beer selection was just as good so I choose Taj Mahal, not my favorite but wanted to try something else aside from majaraja. The food was plentiful and yummy, this is definitely my new go to place when craving quick indian food.
Came here the other night because Eataly was pack and I was starving.
Got the rice dish with chana masala as a side and chicken tikka masala. My kids loved the chickpeas to the chana masala and the naan that comes with the meal. Actually had to get another naan for the kids thats how much they loved the bread. The chicken tikka masala was still salty…i just dont get it. When i ordered medium spicy chicken tikka masala, it came salty……i didnt bother to have it changed for the line was too long at this point. We had ordered samosa chaat. The chaat was great, but need more green chutney..so i went to ask for more, they charge you for a small container. It's not my fault that the one whose making it didn't put an adequate amount.
Overall had a better experience. It could be better. U
I'll try it again if I'm starving within the area.
Approximately 1000 mg of sodium per bite but so worth it. I think Indikitch could take over Chipotle (especially now). Such a great deal for less than$10. Great portion size, lots of variety in entree and side dish, plus the food I just GOOD. If you're iffy about Indian food–which you shouldn't be, it's amazing–start off easy with the chicken. You can also control how spicy you want it. I love the carrot side which is super flavorful as well as sweet and tangy. Best lunch spot on 23rd And the long line is proof.
This is right down the road from my office and saw it on my way in. I went right at the heart of lunch time and the line was extremely long however very efficient. It was worth the wait! the chicken tikka was on point. I asked for the spiciest level not thinking it would be, but they delivered. The food is plentiful with your naan, daal, salad and your main dish. I went back the next day to get it one notch less spicy and it was perfect! Great concept and great food. Will definitely visit again.
My girlfriend and I got delivery last night, via Amazon PrimeNow. Well the delivery was fast!
Now to go over the pros & cons of the food. We are vegetarians, and really like Indian food, we like very hot & spicy and have been to India over ten times, so also like authentic. (Not really available in Manhattan).
We ordered the Saag Paneer Feast, with Classic Dal, and Cucumber, the Paneer Tikka Feast
with Chickpeas, and Carrot salad. These were both ordered at "Super Duper Spice Level". We also ordered the Onion Bhaji Chaat. This was served with rice and we ordered Plain Naan, Garlic Naan, and Whole Wheat Naan.
The first impressions are that it is less than a "feast", it was still filling, though. But not nearly enough rice, there were like a few tablespoons of rice for each of us, which was really sad, so order an extra side or two of rice always.
The chaat was eaten first, and was a big disappointment, there were not nearly enough chaat ingredients, fresh onions and the like in a ratio to Fried Onions. Again, only a couple of tablespoons of what makes a chaat a chaat. The Onion fritters left a lot to be desired in any case, not quite as good as French's Crispy Fried Onions. The chaat "sauce" though was great, the best ever, but with the quantity of Onions included, there should have been more "sauce".
The salads were small and good.
Moving on, the highlight of the meal was that both entrees were actually hot and really correctly spiced, at "Super Duper Spice Level". I would like the owners of all the other Indian restaurants in Manhattan, to sample the Super Duper Spice level, to see how hot food should be, and what correct Indian food should taste like. This was also done without the stupid trick of throwing more Jalapenos at the food.
Unfortunately, the sad thing about both entrees and the Dal is that they were way too rich. This is 2016 not 1916 – we don't have to prove how rich we are by eating oil & ghee. Because of this over richness, it is unlikely I will be able to order from here again in the future.
The Plain Naan and the Whole Wheat were edible, a little bit heavy, agh… there we go again with the oil. The Garlic Naan was not good at all, maybe it was undercooked. The Naan were basically a fail and very small. So that is a definite problem.
If you are underweight and looking to gain, this food will help you get there. I personally hate rich food, especially rich Indian food. Probably an extra 500-700 calories of oil in each entree.
Without the richness, this would have earned 4 Stars, even with the only so-so Naan and bad Onion Fritters. Great Free Delivery from the Amazon PrimeNow app.
This is a great option for those that are on the go. Think of this as an Indian Chipotle. It was my first time here and I ordered the feast option with chicken. If you can't handle spicy food, they can modify it for you, which is great! I love how this comes with a naan bread and you can dip it in the sauce of the meat. I also ordered a mango lassi, which is like a mango yogurt drink. It's heavy, but you will want to get a drink with your meal, as the meal will leave you thirsty. Overall, this place is okay for a fast meal. However, I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to eat here.
We had two of the feasts, own chicken & one pulled pork. You have the choice of mild or medium spicy. For the feast, you get 3 choices.. I had cucumber salad, saffron rice, and chickpea curry? You also get a naan bread with the order. I had an elderflower seltzer drink, very different and I enjoyed it very mucho.
The customer service here is amazing. Everyone is so friendly and courteous. The cashier with all the tattoos is pretty good looking. I'd come back everyday if I were nearby!
This place is super clean, and the bathroom is also super clean. They have a second floor as well so plenty of seating.
Can't wait to stop by the neighborhood again!
