India At Times Square

India at Times Square exceeded all our expectations! The food was absolutely delicious—full of authentic flavors and beautifully prepared. The staff was attentive, welcoming, and genuinely kind throughout our visit. A special mention goes to Alisha, who made our experience truly outstanding. She was incredibly professional, warm, and attentive, and she went above and beyond to meet every one of our needs with a smile. Thanks to her kindness and care, we felt completely taken care of. Highly recommended for anyone looking for amazing authentic Indian food and excellent service in the heart of Times Square!

We visited this restaurant around 10 PM, completely exhausted after a long day, and honestly, it turned out to be one of the most comforting food experiences we’ve had. We ordered our must-have chai, and I can confidently say this was the best chai I’ve had outside my home. We’ve searched everywhere, Ottawa (Canada), Boston, and multiple places in New York - but nothing came close to this. We haven’t tried every restaurant in the city, but so far, this is the best chai till date. (5/5) ☕️✨ For food, we ordered: • Kachumar Salad - fresh, light, and perfectly balanced (5/5) • Kadhi Pakoda with Rice - incredibly authentic and full of homely flavors (5/5) What truly touched us was their generosity - they provided extra rice at no additional cost, which was more than enough for both of us and made the meal even more satisfying. The ambience was pleasant, and the staff was very active, we interacted with Dev, he was very nice and kind, attentive, and welcoming, even at such a late hour. If you’re craving authentic Indian flavors, especially a soul-soothing chai in the heart of Times Square, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommended! 🇮🇳❤️

It was a nice experience overall, the atmosphere was amazing, but the food was average. I expected much more… the server was very accommodating and helpful, however he lacked in knowledge of the food and wine… I don't think I would come back here.

We are coming 2nd time ..really food and service are excellent..Kids enjoyed the chilli chicken, Naan and dessert..Chicken briyani was superb..we will definitely come again.

Great food! Great ambience! Great flavors! This is one of our favorites. I recommend trying their Veg Hakka noodles. It’s a bomb 💥Susmitha’s service is a cherry on the cake :)

Ordered chai and ice cream to go. Bill was $17. Chai was a instant chai packet mixed with water (can assure that as I drink it very frequently at work) and 2 baby spoons of vadilal ice cream. Even Mariott Marquis on times square gives more ice cream than that in $9. Total rip off.

Good Indian restaurant near Times Square Serving North Indian Dishes Tried - Garlic naan and chicken Tandoori - was tasty and fresh. Enjoyed the food. Qty was bit more for 1 person.

I had a movie date with my friend & because I don’t eat meat if it’s not halal we had find something near by in Times square! I googled it & called them also to make sure the food is halal. I have also asked if they need reservations, they didn’t . So we went there to have dinner. It was like 12 min walk from Times Square.. The place was cute, not too fancy ! Not too crowded, lots of empty seats . We both used the restroom & it was too smelly. And not much clean, I was kinda shocked! So I told a person who works there & she was just looking at me like what she is talking about. So I told her to go inside & have a look. I always say if a restaurant has bad smelly bathroom & kitchen is also not good then not a good idea to eat food there! We were already seated so I decided to stay. We ordered Chicken Tikka Sizzler, Goat Biriani , Coke. I liked the chicken but the biryani was not so much. We both had hard time finishing the biryani, kinda disappointed! The price was high & I understand why ! But I did expected better food at this price. Customer service was good.

Wow! I was on my way somewhere else when I instead stopped into India and I'm so glad I did. I got my favorite dish Lamb Korma and it was absolutely perfect! I also got a masala chai tea which definitely hit the spot for this crisp fall day. Service was attentive and kind. Can't wait to come back here again and again!

Horrible could not describe this experience. I had delivery for lunch and it felt like a school lunch gone bad. I selected the chicken tikka masala, it had literally 4 small pieces of chicken which was so dry and came with a minimal amount of rice and a very dry and hard naan. Look at the picture for lunch delivery, overall very sad experience and will never order from here again!

Ordered goat vindaloo, really tasty but not spicy as vindaloo should be... very disappointing. I would definitely come back and order curries as they are probably cooked more to expectation. I hate when dishes are downgraded from traditional expectations to appeal to non natives taste buds.

The chicken tikka masala very delicious, not very spicy, overall very nice place, Excellent food. Great service. Nice ambience.

I went here for dinner a few nights ago and was impressed with the food. I ordered the chicken tikka sizzler, which was really good. My only complaint is that it was a little overpriced for the portion. But the waiter was very friendly and made our experience a great one. The sheer decor on the inside was also quite inviting.

The food was great. However, they have B rated sign posted. Also, ambience is off and the servers can't answer basic menu questions. Also, it was slow when I dined there so many servers were just standing around. One in particular was standing right behind my friend and staring me down. Very creepy.

Tangy spicy papdi chat takes you back to India and it's authentic tastes. The salmon goan curry was rightly spiced with zeera flavored rice- again achieving the right balance. Loved the speed and service of the place. Must try if you are in the area.

It was conveniently located near Times Square. Food was good. Staff were very helpful. Large space and variety of dishes. By default 18% service charges but I think it is common everywhere near times square. If you are near times square and trying to find Indian cuisine then definitely consider this. Check out menu as there are limited vegan dishes

Excellent food. Great service. Priced well. Nice ambience. I wasn't expecting great Indian food around this area as it's very touristy, but this is worth the visit.

Honestly I was super dissatisfied with the service here. The food was alright, drinks were warm. We got charged while the food was being delivered which was super weird and uncomfortable. My family and I were discriminated because we were the only non indian family. Indian food is my absolute favorite but after coming to this place my love for indian food has gone down. The 18% of "gratitude" we paid should be refunded because we were not once checked on and asked if we were doing okay. They made us wait a whole hour to get our food. Mind you I'm pregnant. Super unprofessional! Not only were we discriminated but when we ordered we asked if it was going to be enough food it in fact was not enough food. $213 for 4 small ass plates of food is crazy! NEVER EVER EVER COMING BACK! DONT RECOMMEND!

Great Rors and Veggie Biryani Decent ambiance Great service It's nearer to times Square- reached dinner time and great service and good food

I've gotten take out here a couple of times. Food is always good. Great spice level. Friendly staff. Will eat here again.

The food and service here is awesome. I reached this place barely 15 mins before their closing time and still the owners welcomed me without hesitation and allowed me to take my time to place the order. Next time you are in time square give this place a try!

INDIA AT TIMES SQUARE restaurant on 44th St. is the worst indian restaurant I have ever been to in my entire life. !!!!! and i eat at indian restaurants every week! at 2pm in the afternoon, The lunch special only had gooey , saucy, items so i had to order the tandoori chicken from the "regular" menu it was 25 f 99 dollars For 4 little teeny weenie little pieces of dried chickenthat were the size of chicken wings it was dry as f Even the sauce that they claimed they made in the back, the ambiance is lovely the servie was lovely the food sucked tasted like they opened up a bottle and put it in the little TINY bowls I don't mind paying 25.99 for tandoori chicken but it should be good or at least relatively good. This was just awful dry four little teeny weenie pieces served with no sides whatsoever No rice No bread nothing If you wanted anything else with the 4 weenie pieces of dry chicken, you had to order it separate After we finish eating there, We left and stopped to get pizza Oh, and the place is very, very, very big !!!!!huge !!!! and we two were the only people in the entire restaurant not one other person came in at lunch at 2 o'clock in the afternoon we should've known

My husband and I usually get the chicken tikka sizzler and the saag paneer. The chicken is nicely seasoned and never overcooked. The saag paneer is flavorful with nice sized pieces of paneer. We've ordered other things as well and they've been good. My only criticism is that spicy isn't spicy but then again I am REALLY into spicy.

Terrible service. Service charge is automatically included and it shows. They do not check on you during your meal, they did not have a significant amount of their dishes available. Just not a place I would go back to. There are too many other great restaurants in the area.

This place is scummy--18% automatic tip (see: no incentive for waiters), sticky tables that I had to "pry myself off of", and ridiculously priced food: $8.27 for the smallest ras malai (less than 1 inch diameter). I am floored at how pathetic this place is. If you're looking for Indian food in the Times Square area, go to Curry India; they're relatively unknown which is a shame given how delicious their food is + the fact that they've been around since 1915 (A little after electricity was brought to Time Square and all the signs were alight). When we swung by for lunch today only two other tables were seated. The waiter still found a way to take forever; not only did he not pour any water (82 degrees out), it took him at least 15 minutes to come and get our order. Even then, he seemed to have left his faculties elsewhere, with significant latency "Is there tandoori on the menu?" "Uhhhh". Uhhh to everything. It seemed evident he had been at the place for a while though so I'm not sure why he didn't know the menu. The other patrons also seemed displeased with the wait--the 2 tables that is. Either way, our tandoor chicken + tikka masala eventually came out. Very generic Indian food not even holding a flame to the the authentic spots where the cabbies eat! I was shaken to the core at how inept the waiter was--but that was before I saw the ras malai. I have never seen such a laughable thing in my life: less than 1 inch in diameter in the tiniest "bowl"--this is the most scanty dessert offering ever $8.27. The real cherry on top--which shall now be also recognized as a dessert having seen this place's "ras malai"--was waiting on the check. The waiter made us wait 10m idly (finished all our food) so we ended up asking a second time. He had to serve other tables when he was literally so close to the register so we had to ask a 3rd time. We were not gonna leave a tip, which is uncommon for us, but they ended up having gratuity anyways. Screw this place.

Colorful and clean atmosphere, excellent food, and mediocre service...more interested in taking food pictures for an Instagram post than checking on us for drink refills. Food arrived from the back with a smile though.

We arrived when they first opened, and service was slow. They advertise that we could order from the menu but kept pushing the buffet. Finally our servers decided that we could order from the menu. I had the tomato soup with about five croutons, and my friends had Butter Chicken and some sort of lamb. They both enjoyed their dishes. Also, we had the Naan Garlic Bread and it was delicious Overall, it was a good experience but the service could be better. The customer service was good but the servers seemed confused. If you enjoy Indian food and not in a hurry, I would recommend this restaurant. The decor was pretty emerald green.

The food is delicious. I've been twice and both times the food was very good. I had the butter chicken the first time and the chicken korma the second time and I really enjoyed the food. It's nice inside. The service was just okay, but they were not very attentive. The servers were more focused on their private conversations than on serving the customer. I with they were more customer focused.

The first thing I liked was their interior. even because of this, I'm ready to return.

Maybe I just ordered the wrong thing. Waiter recommended the Goan fish so I got it. The fish was cooked well (slightly crispy on the outside but soft and tender on the inside) but the curry sauce wasn't my favorite. Probably just a personal preference but the sauce felt like it had shreds of coconut, which gave it a weird texture and taste. Service was friendly albeit a little slow. Spacious interior. They do have an intriguing prefix option for $35 that I would've gotten if I had been more hungry. Choose two appetizers, two entrees, a soup plus a dessert. I didn't see how big the portions were but sounds like a good deal to me! They also appear to have a lunch buffet every day for $17.95 (not sure when it starts but I think it goes until 3:30pm), which I might come back to try just to see if I just ordered the wrong thing this visit.

Food was great, servers were attentive. The bread basket was delicious. We ordered Tikka Masala and Tandoori chicken and both were great.

The ambiance is good and clean, food is average and some items are oily. Staff is inattentive. Portion sizes were not bad. They do automatically add gratuity so be aware of that. They could really use some help with food serving and presentation as there seemed no effort in that area. Overall I think I would have been happier with attentive service hence will take my business to other Indian cuisines in the area.

Firstly, it's TIMES Square. One of the absolute best Indian restaurants I've ever been to, not just New York but including Boston & Baltimore. Friendly service, good prices, excellent location close to Intercontinental Hotel where we were staying. We like to eat on the earlier side (6-7) & the place was empty so no reservations needed.

The food is delicious, but I would be hesitant to come here again because of how poor the service is. There was one other table in the restaurant, and yet it took us 30 minutes to receive our bill. We were also not checked on once after we received our food. I'm sitting here typing this review as we are still waiting...

We order delivery from this place. We had the turmeric rice with the okra and the chicken tikka masala. It was pretty good. Nothing exceptional. Flavors were mild, even though we asked for extra super spicy. Decent size portions, and the price was very reasonable. But the food quality was a little disappointing.

Went here as wanted to pick up some Indian before getting on bus back to hoboken. Will keep it short. This generic looking place that looks like a cross between a hgtv remodel and 80s idea of Indian fancy. Food was okay but nothing special as it tasted like a frozen Indian meal from grocery store. I see no reason to return.

I'm Indian, and this was the best Indian food I have had out in a very long time. Would definitely recommend this everyone! We ordered chicken tikka masala, lamb rogangosh, chick pea masala and shai paneer with garlic naan. EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS!!!!!

It can be hard to find this place with the small indistinguishable awning entrance but the interior is pretty nice. They have these green velvetly chairs and it's nicely decorated with a painting at the front and some fake vines with flowers at the entrance. I came here already a few times for work lunches and the food has been pretty consistent and good. I had a mango lassi today it was refreshing and they gave it in a pretty big cup. The naan is solid as well as the garlic naan. The samosas are tasty. They have this pan puri which I had never had, it's supposedly Mumbai street food. It's basically like an open, crunchy samosa with some potatoes in the middle and comes with this watery brown sauce. It was different, and pretty good, although this was the first time I've had it The Rajasthani curry was tasty, and the butter chicken was really creamy and came in a thiccc sauce. Very good. I also had the lamb tandoori which tastes great also, and has a slightly nice crispy finish. The tikka masala is pretty standard, very good though as well. It's usually not crowded at all there when we've gone for lunch. As a matter of fact, we were often the only ones there, not sure why being this is really close, basically right on the close outskirts of the heart of Times Square. The reason for the 4 stars and not 5 is the service can be a bit slow, and a few times they forgot an order. I'm usually very forgiving with that as long as a "sorry" is said or they put a pep in their step but since it happened like two thirds of the time we were there when there was barely anyone else in the restaurant, I am holding it against them. However, definitely a solid, and good Indian place in Times Square. I think that's even more credible and noteworthy given the mostly chain restaurants in the area and generally thin dining options for good, authentic food in the immediate Times Square area.

Very expensive India restaurant.. not a cent worth.. I don't have an option but have to at least select 1 star while writing the review.

Loved it, friendly people, and the food was really amazing! I'm not an expert, but we were blown away with the depth of flavors

Amazing. We came here during their partial opening and the ambience was beautiful with a royal twist in their interior design. The service was impeccable and very professional. We were pretty clueless on what to order but our server Mohan took care of it by recommending vegetable samosas for the appetizer, butter chicken (masala) and chicken curry for the entree with side of regular naan and garlic naan. The food was spot on and of high quality. I really liked the chicken masala; it went perfectly with the rice, the naan, or even on its own. Towards the end of our meal, we were offered a complimentary dessert known as Rasmalai, which is basically cottage cheese soaked in condensed milk. Overall, this is definitely a great addition to the neighborhood and will definitely be back again. It's definitely one of the better Northern Indian cuisine I have had in a long while.

We were pleased when India at Times Square reopened after closing during the pandemic, because it was a favorite pre-theater dining destination. We gave it a try recently (December 2022) and found the food to still be quite good, although not all of the dishes we tried were the same caliber as previous. For example, the pakoras were a bit greasy and the chickpea flour was a little raw in places, and the sauce on the gobi Manchurian was a tad sweet and the cauliflower wasn't deep fried. However, the butter chicken was excellent, as were the Sikh kebabs, and the breads were really good and still reasonable with 4 pieces per serving. Unfortunately, some of the more interesting menu items were gone, but there also were a few new additions. My only complaint was that service was a bit lackluster, with no excuse because the restaurant was pretty empty.

Honestly, I was positive shocked. I moved to midtown west in 2020 and would always pass by this. However, I decided to go on my birthday and ordered saag, biryani, chicken tikka masala, and naan. They were really good. It's a good place to get some good Indian food.

The review is overdue for me. This place is the best place to eat halal food. I love the owner and his wife. They know how to accommodate their guest. The food is very delicious.. puri is out of this world

This is an excellent addition to the neighborhood. We went for the lunch buffet which cost about $20 each. The buffet had salad, basmati rice, dal makhani, lamb curry, tandoori chicken, peas & carrots, saag paneer, and a dessert dish. The owner came by to give us naan, and check on us a few times. Everything was delicious. Service was excellent. It is very clean and has a nice appearance. It has only been open for 2 weeks, but they seem to have their act together. They do not have a liquor license, as yet, but apparently that is in the works. My only suggestion would be to add a little heat to a few of the dishes which are all quite mild. I would recommend this restaurant for authentic, and tasty North Indian food at a reasonable price.

Place was clean and very accommodating. The food was good and the staff super friendly. Would definitely come back. We had the shrimp parkoor, butter naan, and the butter chicken. Everything was great

The food here is delicious and the staff is friendly and courteous. The place is quiet (but not too quiet) and the atmosphere is casual and welcoming. This is a great place to go to for dinner before a show because of its proximity to bustling Times Square, it is great any other time as well! I'm excited to explore more of the menu. I got the fresh shrimp last time and it was the perfect size for a small meal. The shrimp came in a tasty gravy and came with a big puffed bread.

I've been to many Indian restaurant but this has to be the best one so far. Food was delicious and the service was excellent!! Their butter chicken and mango lassi is to die for.Highly recommended !!

Visited on a Thursday night and place was empty but dishes were delicious but on the small side . 4 dishes for 4 was not enough

Paneer was not what normally paneer tastes like- it was more tofu style rather than milk based and much tough than soft. Overall, it still tasted good and we enjoyed our meal-

I was very disappointed when I went in there first of all I sat and waited for a very long time when there were four weight staff and maybe 10 other people in the restaurant. So then I ordered iced tea only to be told we're out of that so then I said I'll have lemonade oh we're out of that so I said okay I'll just have water. I am then told they don't pour a glass of water I needed to purchase a bottle of San Pellegrino or a regular bottled water be the $7 or $4 again they do not provide water to their customers. At this point I told them thank you but it was my first visit and would be my last and I left.

Location is good, decor is well done, very clean, the service was great and the food was fabulous. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

This place is amazing. Omg the food Is so delicious and the staff is gracious and amazing. I love this place. Wish I lived closer. I would've taken pics but I devoured the food already:/

Excellent food and great service. It was a pleasure to meet the owner, who took time to talk to us at length. Loved their house drink, which took me back the memory lane when I loved it growing up in Pakistan.

I've honestly never felt more disrespected eating at any restaurant before. This place is racist. Literally sat there for over hour after eating and they never asked us if we were done or if we needed anything else. While we were eating an old white couple got seated right next to us. They got their food, finished eating and got the check. In that time we're we're done eating with our plates not in front of us, with empty glasses and waited for the waiter to come to our table. He literally went to every table probably 6 or 7 times to check on them, we were the only black people in the restaurant by the way, everyone else was white. After all the waiting we had to get up and tell them we needed a to go box. My girlfriend just wanted to walk out and not pay but I just wanted to just give a 1 penny tip but the tip was included on the bill. If I had known the tip was included I would've just walked out because the absolute terrible and disrespectful service warranted it. Just a heads up if you're black you will be ignored and the service will be terrible.

This venue is amazing! The food, decor and service are all extraordinary. Their samosas, yellow dal tadka and chef's Moghul Emperor special curry are outstanding. I've dined here weekly since they opened. Words cannot express how happy I am to have India at Times Square in my neighborhood!
