Cheap Best HiddenDecember 14, 2015
I'm actually in love with Babu Ji. Definitely one of the best new restaurants for me. I think about their naan on a daily basis. Read more

The buttered chicken and the coconut curry prawns are awesome

Get the chefs menu when u are a party of 4 or more. Totally worth it.

Amazing. Very tasty food, definitely coming back. I don't like raw scallops but loved the scallop curry.
Vijay DevarajanOctober 3, 2016
Amazing quality food and service was great. Try the 'Inauthentic' Butter Chicken and Garlic Naan!

Best. Indian. Ever. Protip: go with the vegetarian option.

Pro: Nan is excellent, mind you $10 Cons: VVV noisy, ordered Goat curry and it was watery not like a curry but was a soup!

Chef's tasting menu! I thought the wine pairing was just okay. I would have loved a natural wine pairing.
Chad HornerNovember 25, 2015
the papandi chaat - "Indian nachos" - is a beautiful dish with a medley of colors and flavors

Gol gappa made the Zagat list for "10 Best Things We Ate in 2015 in NYC".

The tasting menu is excellent, do it! Don't do the wine pairing. Value for money not there.

Definitely recommend the tasting menu. And make a reservation on Resy to avoid a wait!

Babu Ji is the guy on the wall. In Indian household culture, the oldest male is called "Babu Ji" as an endearment/respectful term.
Eric HoJuly 25, 2015
Oh man the coconut scallop curry. Save room for the kulfi! It comes in a frozen stick.
Craig AustinAugust 5, 2015
Chaat, butter chicken, and dal were all great. Naan is perfect.

The tasting menu is fantastic 👌🏼

The roasted squash coconut curry was heavenly. Washed down with a pale ale tallboy.

Tandoori chicken, butter chicken, cauliflower, kulfi, naan... hard to go wrong
Jessie LebitzDecember 19, 2016
The best dishes I've had were the cauliflower, tandoori chicken, and butter chicken.
Pedro SepulvedaAugust 15, 2015
Wow! Very nice modern take on Indian food ! Daal was delicious
Valentin GuerinOctober 1, 2016
Allegedly one of the best Indian restaurant in the city, and that sounds about right!
Amber LockwoodApril 4, 2016
Love, love, love the cauliflower. Baby's Daal was pretty phenomenal too.
greg neufeldJuly 18, 2015
Coconut scallop curry is amazing. Save some naan to lap up the curry sauce.
Mark D. FriedmanSeptember 23, 2016
Love this place!! Food is spectacular
Valentin GuerinOctober 1, 2016
OMG, the tandoori chicken is probably the best I ever had, so soft!!!

Service is amazing. Butter chicken & squash coconut curry for the win!
Michael McFarlaneSeptember 6, 2015
The yogurt croquettes, goat curry and butter chicken are outstanding.
Sapana KulkarniApril 4, 2016
We did the tasting menu, but I wouldn't get it again. The apps were great, but the main thali food wasn't warm and the curries were strangely sweet. Not planning on going back.
suneelJuly 30, 2015
must haves: tandoori chicken, gol guppas, batata vada, kulfi
Trevor HillNovember 6, 2015
Scallop coconut curry is super creamy and super delicious
Setareh SaidiApril 6, 2016
They only do online reservations and ONLY for chef's table with a some kind of tasting menu. If your party is 8+ people email them

Everything
SaleemSeptember 2, 2015
Great food but unnecessarily expensive. $14 for papdi chaat and $24 for chicken makhani? Confusing. Came out to $45/pp for food plus just a beer/ea. Taste's great but explore elsewhere.
c0uPJuly 3, 2016
It's good, though I'm pretty sure you can get better in many a place in NYC at half the price.
janelle guntherOctober 22, 2015
Roasted squash curry not to be missed!
Saarim ZamanOctober 4, 2015
The basmati rice is a must cop with your butter chicken
Tom MaximJuly 29, 2015
Expensive but good. Get beer out of the fridge. Naan is en fuego.
Raisa FernandoJuly 9, 2015
Coconut scallop curry
