Aahar

They are renamed to Bombay Indian Restaurant. Food quality is best in NYC and their taste cant be beat in the city.. wonderful dinning experience..

This was one of the best meals we had during our stay in NYC. We had the chicken tandoori which was so tender and well spiced, the mattar paneer also very well done, garlic naan and mango lassi. We were so happy w our meal and pleasantly surprised by the great prices and generous portions.

We enjoyed a delicious dinner here. The food was incredible - fresh and filled with flavor. We ordered vegetable samosas, chicken kebobs, Aloo Gobi, Bhel Puri, and Lamb Vindaloo. All were fantastic. The staff was so friendly, and the gentleman that came around to ensure we were enjoying our experience was the sweetest. Although I didn’t necessarily find it to be the nicest dining experience from an aesthetic point of view, (the decor could be nicer) the food was phenomenal. We will definitely be back!!

This is the second time I've been here because the amount of food you get for the price makes it worth it. It's decent food at an affordable price that will leave you feeling satisfied. The staff have been super friendly and attentive to my needs both times I have visited I went for the pre-fix lunch special and got an order of Butter Chicken with aromatic basmati rice, Cocktail samosa (veggie), Garlic naan, and Mango Lassi for under $25. Food: Butter Chicken: I told the waiter to make it on the spicier side when I placed my order but I received the opposite. It was on the sweeter side which was okay but just a little disappointing. The butter chicken was flavorful and had a nice creamy mouth feel. I did find it to be more on the tomato-y side which overpowered the rest of the spices. The chicken wasn't dry and had great flavors. It was pretty decent but again I wish it had a little more heat to it. The basmati rice - although fragrant and tasty it could have been a bit softer with a little more moisture. 4.5/5 Garlic Naan: By far one of the best garlic naan I've tasted in a very long time. The dough was fully cooked through, super soft with crispy pockets, and the garlic was not too overpowering. 5/5 Cocktail Samosa: The exterior was light, crispy, and golden to perfection. The insides were stuffed with lightly seasoned potatoes and peas. The stuffing could have used more seasoning, although I did taste the cardamon a lot of the other spices didn't come through. What really saved this appetizer for me was the mint sauce (hari sauce), it was bright, fresh, and brought it all together. The tamarind sauce was too sweet for me and just sort of sat there. 4/5 Mango Lassi: This drink was sweet, sour, and extra thiccc. It was creamy and delicious, but it did take me at least 10 minutes to get it all down. Luckily I had a glass of water near by to help it go down with ease. 4/5 Service: Very friendly staff that will check in on you once in a little while to make sure everything is to your liking. Decor: Dimly lit restaurant with a clean and cozy atmosphere. Plenty of space for large and small groups. The restrooms were cleaned and well maintained. Overall I did enjoy my food, I left with a full belly and satisfied with my order. The prices are affordable for the area and the food is decent. I'll def visit Aahar again!

Very tasty. The place had lots of room for a late dinner. The food was great and the waiter pointed out some fun dishes to try to expand the usual set of options. They were all delicious.

Food were awesomely good and the servers were very friendly. I love the ambience of the restaurant makes me wanna stay just to chill. If I’m gonna visit NYC again this Indian cuisine will be on my list ❤️

This is just one of those hole-in-the-wall places that you just get lucky and FIND while out roaming the city. Service was teeny bit slow, however when the food is damn good, those things get pushed to the back of my mind. The SCALLOPS?! Yes please, I’ll take 70 more on the fly. The chicken was delicious, samosas were packed and fresh out of the fryer and the dipping sauces were incredible. Sooooo worth it! Authentic Indian flavors will always be top 5!

Exceptional Experience – Highly Recommended! This is by far the best hotel I’ve experienced. It’s not just the taste of the food that impressed me — the ambience and the quality of service were truly top-notch. I would like to highlight two exceptional employees who made my visit even more memorable: An Indian waiter went above and beyond by patiently guiding us on local transportation options. What truly stood out was his honesty and integrity — I accidentally left my wallet behind, and he followed the same route he had earlier explained to us just to return it. He caught up with me almost 0.3 miles away, and my wallet, which contained all my cash, was returned untouched. His actions were the main reason I felt compelled to write this review. Another waiter, of African descent, served us with great politeness and professionalism throughout our meal. If you're in the area, I highly recommend visiting this restaurant at least once. Food recommendations: Definitely try the Dum Aloo and Naan. As for drinks, the Mango Lassi and Rose Lassi are must-tries. I’ll certainly be coming back on my next visit!
