I ended up eating here with a friend recently at her urging. To start with the positives, the food was good. The Chicken Sagg and Garlic naan was very good. Strangely enough they did ask you to pay for the rice as an extra. The price quoted (9) was only for the meat dish. They also have a full bar.
Unfortunately service was not great. With only two pairs of customers the servers were inattentive. They disappeared at random times. At one point a server was so entranced by his phone, he didn't see me making hand motions for a few minutes. I had to call for him across the entire restaurant.
Richmond Hill is one of the larger Indian/West Indian areas of Queens but it is so far out that I generally don't venture there with food. A few months ago I did and went to a terrible restaurant so I was wary about going again. However this place was very pleasant, friendly and the food was actually pretty decent.
To begin this place is actually a restaurant and a large banquet hall; the door farthest from the street corner is the door to the restaurant with the awning that states that while the other two doors lead to the banquet hall. The restaurant itself is pretty large and offers adequate seating for small and large groups. The decor is a little strange…with mural across them…
Generally the people who eat there will be locals coming in for a party or some dinner so expect a mainly Indian/Shiekh crowd.
The food itself was decent;
Mixed Tandoori Grill – an assortment of four kinds of meat which were cooked till tender and not dry or burnt; they have other dishes on the tandoori which looked great also, such as the lamb.
Naan – Soft and a little chewy; not dry or burnt which is the way it should be
Malai Kofta – The sauce for this dish was awesome but the Kofta was a little heavier than I expected and a bit too dense for the sauce
Chicken Korma – Really delicious chicken korma with tender bits of chicken in a creamy and slightly sweet sauce, excellent.
Overall I would have to say as a local establishment this place is worth going to however given the choice I believe that Jackson Heights has a better assortment of Indian restaurants that will not let you down.
This is the place to go to for amazing Indian food especially the buffet, you get to try everything for an amazing price. The food is very flavorful and the staff is delightful, and they take care of you. Come here hungry, and go home happy!
I was at my friend's house and she orders take-out from here so yeah sure, why not. I wasn't sure what I wanted to so she sorta ordered for me. (so I don't actually remember the name of the dish) It was a rice dish with chicken. First thoughts, spicy! Indian spicy, so there's a lot of kick in this dish. It slowly builds up in the back of your mouth. There was a nice ratio of rice to chicken. It was slightly annoying to pick out the spices you couldn't eat. This dish made me very full and took me like 3 days to actually finish it.
I think it's a good take-out place. I can't judge the actual restaurant or service.
