"Awadh specializes in Northern Indian dishes the like clay pot meats and biryani draped with naan. It’s a great place to take someone for a nice but relatively low-key outdoor meal. Their covered outdoor patio is open every day for dinner between 5pm and 10pm." - Hannah Albertine

"Awadh makes northern Indian food like slow-cooked meats, kebabs, and biryani cooked in clay pots with naan layered over the top - which alone is worth the trip. This two-story place also has lots of room, and it’s nice enough for a fifth date or a dinner with your grandparents who are visiting from Westchester." - Bryan Kim

Awadh is our go to for Indian food in the neighborhood. They recently painted the restaurant blue to match the outdoor seating area, which is a nice change and makes the restaurant really stand out when walking by. The food was delicious and the service was good.

I am amazed at how unassuming the location is and how unbelievable the food itself is. This is some of the best Indian food you may ever eat. I had their paneer tikka masala, vegetable biryani, and garlic naan. Each was easily the best I’ve ever had at a restaurant. The paneer was perfectly cooked, with the sauce unbelievably smooth as if it was strained for perfect consistency. The flavors were bright, vibrant, and delicious. The garlic naan was fantastic. I always like a ton of garlic, and the garlic they put made it taste like the perfect naan. The vegetable biryani was the best part. It is cooked in a clay vessel with a naan/roti, covering the lid to seal all the flavor in as it is cooked. I was stunned at how aromatic, fluffy, and delicious this was. The restaurant also provided some raita (yogurt) and papadum (crispy snack) as well. Honestly, you are missing out if you do not come here and try this restaurant. Price is reasonable for New York ($15 per dish).

Excellent kebabs, especially the chicken: juicy, tender, charred just right and full of flavor. The Nawabi Murgh Tikka and Awadh Murgh Tikka kebabs were beautiful. We thought the Kakori lamb kebab wasn’t as good, but the spicing was very nice. Chicken biryani was pretty good too. Three kebab orders alone would be enough for a meal for two—they’re pretty substantial.

Loved the sweet potato-pineapple grilled appetizer. Service is great and a pretty well done interior and ambience. On the pricey side, but we loved their dal makhani, paneer tikka and veg biriyani as well.

This place is a great choice for authentic Indian food. Ambiance and service on point! Quality and taste of food was excellent for the most part. Among the various dishes we ordered, kofta was a slight disappointment coz of the overwhelming flavor in the gravy and lack of the same in the actual kofta. Desserts were really good. Drink, appetizer, main course and dessert ( all sharing) will cost you an average of $50 per person.

This place has the one of the best lamb chops in NYC period. The place in general is OK. We ordered following things: The Nawab: Great Tamarind Flavor. Rating 4/5 Galouti Kebab: Very juicy and lamb was very fresh. It could have had some more spices but overall is was good. Rating 4/5 Shikampuri Seekh: Again chicken was very fresh and well marinated. Kebab was very juicy. Again some more spices and salt in kebab will just enhance the experience. Rating 4/5 Chaap ka Barrah: Best lamb chops in NYC. So juicy and full of flavor. Rating 5/5 Lagan ki Raan: Portion size was good and flavors were great too. The quality of meat they use is really good. Somehow I felt that salt was less in this dish. Rating 4/5 Khaas Korma: Great chicken dish if you looking for something with mild flavor. Chicken was very well cooked and was very juicy. Rating 4/5 Green Chutney: Most different green chutney I had in my whole life. It had very raw flavor of mint but nothing to compliment it with. There is seriously something missing in it. To make it even worse they add something sweet to it. Rating 1/5. Overall the place has great potential and I would definitely give it another try.

This Indian restaurant is quite different from all others. Nice and cozy ambience, well trained staffs, yummy delicious food. I really liked there serving style, presentation and taste of dishes served. Chicken biryani and kulfi is a must try.
