"Gupshup is a good option for a fun group dinner two blocks off Union Square. Come here for colorful cocktails infused with Indian spices, and fusion-y dishes like chicken wings with makhani sauce and jackfruit tacos. They also have classics like chicken tikka and saag paneer. The dining room is pretty relaxed, and it's a good spot to bring a few friends and share a bunch of small plates." - willa moore, bryan kim, matt tervooren, will hartman
"With a name that means essentially “idle talk,” this Flatiron restaurant took the neighborhood by storm when it first appeared late in 2018, slinging opulent dishes with elaborate platings, along with strong cocktails and a decor that is, at turns, playful and garish. Like other places intent on delivering Indian food into the realm of fine dining, it tweaked flavors in stylish offerings with international references, like charcoal-grilled salmon tikka with cream cheese and jackfruit tacos, sometimes featuring specialties like paneer and pineapple tikka." - Nadia Chaudhury
"If you’re the best version of yourself around others, Gupshup in Gramercy is offering two large-format Diwali dinners that each feed at least four people. One comes with goat meat cooked in saffron basmati rice for $60. The other $75 option features tandoor-grilled leg of lamb with pulao rice. Be sure to order in advance due to limited availability." - team infatuation
"In honor of the holiday, the perpetually packed GupShup will be bedecked in diyas and marigolds. Executive chef Zahir Khan will also offer a menu of festive dishes, including mutter ki kachori, fried pastries filled with peas, and a rich lamb and yogurt curry. Customers leave with a gift of a diya and handmade chandrakala, sweet fried flour balls stuffed with nuts." - Shivani Vora
"I noticed GupShup for its novel furnishings and playful menu, another example of the newer, upscale Indian restaurants aiming for a distinctive, themed dining experience." - Robert Sietsema
