Probably the best curry house in New York City...try the Lasanu Gobi - Cauliflower to die for and also the Chicken Tikka Masala and my Fav the Lamb Vindalooo. The Phaal is not for the fainthearted !

While it is definitely delicious don't order saag paneer when you are with a group of friends post beer heavy football match. They will make fun of you for being a veggie even if you are a carnivore.

The Phaal seriously hurt me but it was well worth it. I am seasoned chili freak too so don't try it unless you have a gut of steel! The rest of the menu is amazing too. Great service also. 10/10!!!

The food here is fantastic. The Fish Moilee, the Aloo Gobi and the garlic naan are all amazing. A little more expensive than 6th St but worth it.

The lunch buffet, seven days a week, gets you unlimited scoops of chicken tikka masala, tandoori chicken and a rotating selection of other flavorful curry dishes. Read more

$15 all you can eat buffet, fresh nan when you get back to your table waiting, can't go wrong with that~

This is your place if you enjoy spicy food with good flavor. Great buffet where you get the opportunity to try all of their dishes.

For gluten-free options, try: the pakoras, (which are friend in chickpea batter), and the balti, or the meat sizzler (lamb chop, chicken, and shammi kebabs).

Known for their 'spiciest curry ever' gimmick, this spot stands out from many of the others on the East Village's Indian restaurant row.

Best saag paneer I've had, and if you like it spicy just ask for fresh chillies. The raita was also thick and super tasty.

If you have a strong constitution, try the Phaal – an excruciatingly hot curry. Otherwise, the Chicken Tikka Masala is a safe bet, paired with Sesame Naan.

Not only was the food amazing but I have very annoying allergies and they specially made my dish! The waiters were really friendly and on top of everything. Highly recommend.
Ben MackeySeptember 23, 2015
Happy Hour 4-7pm Sunday-Wed and after 11pm on Thurs-Saturday. Cheap draft beer, wine and cocktails.
JJ JonesJuly 15, 2013
Try the hot Phaal if you think you can take the heat! One of the hottest food I ever tasted!
Michelle WilesNovember 6, 2016
Can't go wrong with the chicken tikka + saag paneer combo
Sarah DittmoreOctober 27, 2012
Often need a reservation to get in, but it's some of the best Indian food in NYC. Don't miss the naan.

The buffet was great! Lots of good food for just $10. The cheapest bill we've had so far in NYC
Grace LadyecuaJuly 7, 2015
Great food, ambiance and service! I must return to try more dishes!
Thomas MoAugust 15, 2014
Lunch buffet was great value. Nothing special but still delicious - and filling of course.
Gansevoort Hotel GroupApril 8, 2011
Our favorite casual and laid back indian spot in the whole city. This place is the real deal - think less frills and more explosive flavors.
Raymond RodriguezSeptember 26, 2013
Delicious! The chicken korma was perfection. A little pricey but the quality was worth it!
Lori LuoAugust 10, 2014
Spice-addicts will want to opt for the phaal curry challenge, but the poor quality of all other dishes is a drawback to the first visit.

For a taste of the hot and savory, try the London-style Indian food from Brick Lane Curry House in the trendy East Village.

The Vindaloo is amazing. It's also incredibly spicy. If you want to sweat, I highly recommend it.

New location. Can't go wrong with the food here.

Beware of the phaal sauce! Although very good, only for expert Indian foodies.

Lunch buffet is a great deal but they had only one meat dish (chicken) and were very slow to bring it out.

Regardless if you fall for Phaal, the spice is always nice here.
Binu PauloseSeptember 12, 2009
If you're up for an super spicy food challenge, do the Phaal Challenge. Eat an entire bowl of their phaal curry and you'll get a free glass of beer.
Travis RamseySeptember 25, 2013
Garlic stuffed nann has too much garlic. Liked sesame nan a lot
Duncan MilneMarch 16, 2019
Great British style Indian food

The food is excellent. Avoid the hot phaal unless you want the fire department called on you.
