Prad NelluruJuly 3, 2017The channa masala and rotis are amazing. The place is probably the most authentic restaurant in Chelsea, but it has little seating so take it to go.
- Dan JonesAugust 21, 2014They have amazing food and fast service for cheap. Recommend taking your tray up to the High Line on a nice day. My friend and I always make a point to stop by after a run through the galleries.
Diana GMay 4, 2017All kinds of yes. I practice yoga at Sivananda on 23rd st, after class it's nice to come and indulge on some authentic Indian food. Tiny little place but for 7$ it doesn't get better than this.- Avneesh KohliJuly 9, 2018Best place to get cheap, authentic Indian food in NYC. The roti and saag here are phenomenal. No seats, so expect to stand at the counter or take it to go!
Luke AtchesonApril 15, 2016The most un-Instgrammable food also just happens to be the best. The world makes sense again.
- Cameron KetchamJune 26, 2015Really cheap good punjab food! You can either order a platter which is rice with three entrees, or you can get a bowl with just one entree.. Then you will have enough room to get a samosa as well!
Jocelyn LeavittAugust 30, 2018Yum. Freshest paneer I’ve ever had a place like this. Comes w raita and shredded onion chutney. Make sure you spoon some aachar (from the can) into your container before leaving. It’s on tables behind
Dil-e Punjab Deli is absolutely amazing. Phenomenal, fresh, and delicious. $7 never got me so much fantastic vegetarian food.
Eric LeebowJune 21, 2018Great deal, fast service, and excellent authentic Indian food to go with the spice. Stand up eating, so there's no seating, but it's well worth it!
Saarim ZamanMay 12, 2016extremely dank to-go Indian food, and at $7 for a massive lunch plate you can't go wrong
Saranya ManoharanSeptember 4, 2014Everything here tastes so homemade it's super good... Especially the sweet rice and the whole😁- Sebastian AssafOctober 15, 2014The chana masala and saag paneer were amazing! Some of the best Indian food I have had in a long time. Such a deal!
inna katsMarch 5, 2017Mmm the food here is goood. Roti with 3 veggies and lots of rice, $8. Not much room inside but totally worth it.
Dave SilverstoneJanuary 8, 2012There's a reason why the city's ex-pat cabbies are lined up here day and night - huge, affordable portions of DELICIOUS, authentic, all-vegetarian food from the subcontinent.
Edward TinsleyJune 26, 2017$9 dinner with three different (delicious) vegetarian curries is a steal...
A hole in the wall with good vegetarian Punjabi food for cheap. The Chana Masala, Saag, and Daal are good.
The aloo ghobi and bharta are fantastic! Take the 3 side platter with rice and naan.- Jesse TFebruary 3, 2017Ridiculously delicious punjab food priced very cheap, this is the ultimate late night take out spot.
- Narendra Singh PlahaSeptember 26, 2016What else can you ask for the $7.99 buffet. Its a heaven for vegetarian food lovers in the packed NY streets.
Gregory FisherNovember 27, 2011Ask for free chapatti with your lunch special (3 veggies and rice), which is actually served until 4am
Vivienne GucwaMay 11, 2014Lots of Punjab food for only 6.99. The roti is fresh and everything is surprisingly low on grease. Very, very yummy.
Alex LustickSeptember 18, 2012For 7 dollars you get 3 dishes, rice, roti, and sauces. You can't beat the quick Indian food craving any better than this place
Manasi VeeraJune 16, 2011Amazing vegetarian food..super cheap..must try: Punjabi Kadhi only available on Fridays.
Luciana BollinaMay 28, 2018Preço muito bom e uma comida típica indiana deliciosa! O lugar não tem mesas, mas você pode comer no balcão ou sentar em algum banco na mesma rua, que é bem charmosa. Amei!
