- Jenna Odett LaskinAugust 10, 20162 people? 1 bread, 2 chotas, 1 bada, 1 side. Go for chutney sampler (mango is great), cheddar kulcha is a quesadilla, don't miss the aloo mutter, skip chicken tikka
Alex HamelSeptember 24, 2016Impressed with this spin on indian food. We tried their take on chicken tikka and spicy pork ribs, both great. The breads are fun to mix and match with a larger group!- Chad HornerAugust 6, 2016Floyd Cardoz's return to New York cooking, Paowalla offers more ambitious Indian fare than most are used to, like Vindaloo pork ribs (fall-off-the-bone tender) and halibut in a watermelon chutney
Nikhil VartyAugust 27, 20163 Chilly Chicken/ Kulfi / Hyderabadi Goat / Fluke Ceviche... But the Three Chilly Chicken is the best
AmateurConciergeOctober 24, 2016BRUNCH: Indian flavors on American friendly dishes at soho prices. Bacon naan is not naan and it's quite pricey. Dug the chicken tikka
Vivek BhagwatAugust 7, 2016A really awesome, new take on Indian food. Just as good as Tabla was. The small plates are the best.
NickOctober 5, 2016Trendy spot with high-end service. You can get naan anywhere - go for the Tingmo bread roll. Rechado stuffed Sea Bream comes deboned and is fantastic.
BunmiAugust 24, 2016Super trendy but casual and amazing service. No words do the flavors justice but definitely get the fluke ceviche
Ruchika BJanuary 13, 2017Roasted bone marrow, curry leaf chicken tikka, golden tilefish with a side of lemon rice. I have never licked my plate clean at a restaurant like I did here.- Chris BurchAugust 17, 2016With the plethora of Indian restaurants in NY, I was not expecting to be blown away. But this place is very fun, casual, and delicious. Would definitely return!
Natalie VSeptember 1, 2016Everything is good! The skate, goat and chicken tikka entrees are musts. Highly recommend the chutney sampler and pao small plate as well.
Kim PhamAugust 26, 2016Stunning Indian in a casual environment. The best thing on the menu? The fluke ceviche. Oh man.
Nabeel HyattSeptember 14, 2016Fluke ceviche for sure, and the heirloom tomatoes. But actually all the appetizers are amazing.
Roniel TesslerMarch 14, 2017This place was good, but with all the hype, I was expecting unforgettable. It's a great modern take on Indian, but I'm excited ti tapestry now.
Kt LacasseNovember 6, 2016Trendy Indian that has 6 different south breads, naan included. Really delicious
Minns MokkiSeptember 20, 2016Don't order daal or the rice dish. No flavor in either. The peppers and eggplant were decent.
Beena KalaiyaDecember 24, 2016Mediocre overpriced food... do not order grilled pineapple dessert... it is the worst thing I have ever eaten (had a bite) and it is served cold... there are better choices for good Indian food in NYC
Kunjan PunatarJanuary 8, 2017Vada pav is on point. Chaat has too many potatoes. Not enough vegetarian options. :(
- Caroline ChungSeptember 17, 2016Tasty but...it's Indian food catered for Americans - sweet, fried and fat. There was nothing ambitious about the food, dishes lacked flavor depth of real Indian cuisine. Overall food/service was good.

"Egg dishes are the name of the game here, with organic, locally-sourced offerings like soft scrambled eggs with smoked salmon and roe, and zesty barrio tripe with fried eggs and pico de gallo."
