While I don't dine out at many Indian restaurants, I think Seva fit the bill of what a good Indian restaurant should be. The servers are always on point with the water and seeing how you're doing. The food was also very good and fairly priced.
– Garlic Naan was bursting with Garlic. Very fresh, toasted to perfection.
– Shrimp Tiki masala was pretty on point. Best I ever had? Not quite but still quite delicious.
– Chicken Briyani was just okay. Wasn't too impressed but definitely flavorful. Perhaps I was spoiled by the version my former colleague cooked.
If you're having a cheat day.. Get the fried appetizer sampler and the chicken tikka masala with basmati rice. This place is amazing the food is delectable. The flavors are bold and everything you would hope for in Indian cuisine.
I was in d area for my car repair and decided to stop for lunch. Clean and tidy with attention to every detail- you literally feel the attention in the flavors. Lunch menu 10 USD with selection of chola, paneer saag, chicken vindaloo, chicken tikka masala, veg samosa, rice, naan and kheer.
Veg samosa- hardly any oil, perfect spice level, well cooked potatoes, even had peas!!- felt like I was having a samosa back home in India
Chicken vindaloo- the highlight in my opinion, havent had better one so far, spice level well balanced, fresh meat
Chicken tikka masala- delicious, mild and yet so flavorful!, fresh and well cooked meat
Paneer saag- paneer soft and fresh
Kheer- burst of flavor, rice slow cooked and full of nuts.
Tips: try it, totally worth the price, ambience casual, food top notch, service 5 star, perfect for a laid back sunday brunch. Highly recommend!!!
I had been thinking of going to Seva for a long time, but my wife was skeptic from a visit ages ago when the food apparently was terrible. They have a nice prix fix deal, three course meal for 15 dollars, which we wanted to take advantage of. The menu was very limited, especially for me as I have allergies to some common ingredients. They were not able to change any of the dishes for me (I guess it was already prepared, which is fair enough for prix fix), so I had to go with the fennel chicken curry, which I didn't really want, but it was actually alright. Because of allergies I also could not have any of the deserts, so they agreed to give me a Naan with my meal instead. It is very dark in the restaurant. although I don't want it to be too bright, this was a bit too dimly lit for me. It's a bit small and cramped so people might bump into your table or chair occasionally. I would come back to Seva as I was looking for an Indian restaurant to replace Namaste down the road which used to be my go to place back in the day (but seriously went downhill in quality). Seva Is not the best, not the worst, but worth at least a visit since there are not that many Indian restaurants on 30th Ave.
Seva is a Indian restaurant in Astoria.
I came here with a group of coworkers for dinner. The restaurant is fairly small. I made a reservation but it wasn't necessary, since there were plenty of open tables throughout our meal. We ordered a couple appetizers and six entrees – each entree has a "regular" and "spicy" option, and it comes with a big portion of rice. The vegetable samosas are huge so you could probably share one order with 3 or 4 people. I was annoyed that the servers filled our water every two minutes. The cups HAD TO BE filled to the brim AT ALL TIMES. The food is good. I really like the malai korma, which are little croquets in a creamy coconuty sauce. It's sweet and savory.
It's a casual restaurant, and we felt a little off being in work attire. The food is good, but it's worth a trip to the restaurant. They are popular with their delivery (which is free), so I'd recommend that instead.
Great Indian cuisine spot in the neighborhood.. Food is a little heavy but it may also just be because I order the heavy stuff! I love their chicken tikka masala with basmati rice.. Their naan is also incredible and they offer different flavors
This is my go to Indian restaurant in Astoria. The food is always so delicious. I usually go with the combo special, which is a great deal for only $15. You get an appetizer, main course and dessert. I usually go with a samosa and lamb vindaloo. The samosa's are always delicious and the sauces are very tasty with a nice amount of spice. They give you a good portion of vindaloo which is usually pretty spicy, but tastes great. The lamb just falls apart in your mouth. The meal is finished off with some rice pudding, which is very tasty, but at this point I am extremely full and need to go walk this meal off.
I've heard about this place way before I lived in the area and that definitely says something. Word of mouth buzz with a 25 mile+ radius is never a bad thing. Family owned and super focused on customer service with high quality authentic food output, you have to respect Seva.
Weekend Lunch buffet at $10.95 from 12-3 with a handful of solid Indian dishes. Chicken Tikka Masala, Green Chili Chicken, Chana Masala, Navratan Korma, Sag Paneer, Vegetable Samosas, and basmati rice, naan, rice pudding, and various sauces/chutneys made this totally worth it. Not one thing let me down.
Support this place. Hopefully you dig it as much as I did.
