Best Indian Restaurants in Morningside Heights

The food was really good. A few of the items we ordered were amazing, and some of the items could use a little more salt in it, but it was definitely a great place. Make sure to have a reservation because the place is really busy.

Excellent food. Impeccable service. We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience. Next time I’ll do the 3 course, instead of the 4. The portions were a bit larger than I thought they’d be- which I am not complaining about. Although the decor is pleasing- it lacks vibe. One could say the decor is a blank slate to better show off the art of the food- but it’s just a bit sterile, imho.

The food at BAZI is outstanding. We make a point of having dinner at BAZI every time we come to NY from Boston. Every dish is delicious so it is difficult to chose. This trip we had the lamb ka akulfBarraeh, Paratwala kofta, Darib ka kulfa, rice and raita. Everything was Terrific. We ate on the early side-around 6:30- and the noise level was civilized with conversation easy.

Delectable food with notable flavors and welcoming and attentive service. A great meal out!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Manhattan Valley with a group of friends, and it was a fantastic experience all around! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted warmly by the staff, and the service remained top-notch throughout our meal. We started with the vegetable samosas, and they were absolutely delicious. Crispy on the outside and packed with a flavorful filling, they were perfectly complemented by a variety of chutneys that added an extra layer of depth to each bite. The chutneys ranged from tangy to sweet, and each one paired wonderfully with the samosas. For the main course, we ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala and Shrimp Masala, along with rice and garlic naan. The flavors were bold and fresh, and each dish was made to perfection. The chicken in the tikka masala was tender, and the shrimp in the masala was juicy and succulent, absorbing the rich, aromatic spices. The rice was fluffy, and the garlic naan—soft and warm—was the ideal accompaniment to soak up all the flavorful sauces. The food was so good that the table went quiet for a bit, everyone too absorbed in their meal to speak! But beyond the food, the service was excellent, with attentive staff making sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. Overall, this was a memorable dining experience, and I highly recommend Manhattan Valley for anyone in the area looking for fresh, flavorful Indian cuisine with great service. We’ll definitely be back!
