INDN Small Plates & Cocktails

Had excellent service dining here on a Tuesday night, waiter was nice and accommodating. Food here was just ok, they just opened so I’m sure they are still figuring things out. A lot of the protein (shrimp and chicken) felt tough and overcooked, and the flavor was decent but some of it was not fitting. Tons of small plates available to share - had great garlics naan though!

Will explain in the end why I gave a four star to a restaurant that served quality good food , service and ambience! INDN showed up in my insta feed and when I saw Bukhara connection, I knew we need to try. We went there to celebrate our anniversary. Loved the vibes, the cocktails- Going Badaam, Saleem ka ghoda and Ruppee beer. Appetizers were fabulous and our fav was pakodas with the most authentic flavor, chicken and Taro. Taro was a bit dry but still not bad. Main course was Dal, Butter Chicken and yummy Kadai Paneer. The most favorite was the dessert - Shahi Tukra! After a long time got to eat a decent flavor! Our servers were great and food was excellent. Prices are steep though! The owner of the restaurant was present and he stopped and chatted at most of the tables except ours. I found that rude. Especially when he went to tables to our left and right. It could be random but did leave not so nice feeling. Will we go there again? Probably yes. Pointing out so they can improve.

A Perfect Blend of Elegance, Flavor, and Fun - with a taste and feel of today’s India! This contemporary new Indian restaurant is where elevated dining meets good vibes. From the moment you walk in, you're wrapped in a space that’s both classy and full of life — perfect for a vibrant dinner. The ambiance strikes just the right chord: stylish decor, warm lighting, upbeat music, and an energy that makes you want to linger. It’s elegant without feeling stiff. But let’s talk food — because that’s where this place truly shines. The spices are layered just right, not overpowering, and the ingredients are clearly top quality. Highly recommend!

Amazing experience from the entry till the bar Mateo is top notch best bartender he guided us thru the experience at INDN we’ll definitely coming back and tell everyone about this Gem

Food here is amazing and the hospitality is unmatched. We sat at the bar and our Bartender Cheyenne recommended there’s lovely dishes to us: Crispy Taro, Tandoori Paneer, Jumbo Shrimp, Lamp Chops, 7 Chutney Sampler and the Butter Chicken. So hard to pick a favorite dish since everything was so flavorful. She made us these delicious cocktails and my favorite was the Pickle Backstabber. Will definitely come back very soon!

Great Indian food in the city! The taste spoke for itself. Ordinary dishes with extraordinary taste😄 Would definitely go here again.

We had a lovely time at this restaurant. The ambience and vibe of this place is 10/10. Their drink menu is very unique. My Favorite was butterface! Would totally recommend this place for their cocktails!

There are lots of options on both vegetarian and non-vegetarian starters and all of them taste great. All the drinks are great, especially "slap on the face".

Now this one's a crowd pleaser- super delicious small plates of a variety that can be shared by all + choice of bold cocktails to pair as per preference. INDN is a promising new addition to the fire NYC Indian food scene. The vibe is that of a cocktail bar restaurant- warmly lit & elevated by a strikingly stocked bar. The menu is mostly focused on small plates but they serve some popular mains & irresistible desserts too. We went for a birthday dinner & had a bunch of appetizers- literally all of them were fantastic. They do charge a per head fee if you bring a cake from outside to cover service. The servers & manager both came to check on our experience which was very pleasant. INDN prices are a bit steep but worth a visit, it's unapologetically Indian and has a flare.

Came with a couple friends on a Thursday night, and it was bustling! I definitely recommend making a reservation in advance, because our wait was over an hour. The restaurant space is somewhat compact, but they make a good use of the space with low dining tables - mostly two person tables and a few larger tables for big groups, - and a sizable full service bar. My friends and I ended up sitting at the bar, which was beautifully lit and had a minimalistic aesthetic similar to the rest of the space. We ordered some cocktails to start. I had the Pickle Backstabber and my friends had the How can she slap? And Nothin' But a Ghee Thing. The drinks were all very good and very different in flavor profile. If you want something on the sweeter end, I recommend the how can she slap? - the mango definitely comes through as the dominant flavor. The pickle Backstabber had more of a salty, savory profile, as you might expect given the name. The Nothin' But a Ghee Thing was their take on an old fashioned. All the dishes are shareables, yet the portions are still somewhat sizable, which is great. We had the spinach patties, 10-spice battered fish, spice marinated chicken, and charred mushrooms. All the dishes were delicious and I would order them again; but I found that despite being different dishes, they all kind of had the same flavor. The dishes were spicy, and they all came with the same green chutney. It would've been nice to have different chutneys or sauces to go with the dishes to give some variety. Because overall, it all tasted the same, especially with the level of spiciness that seemed to drown all the other flavors out -- in my opinion. Service is great, and the staff are all very friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere was vibrant and lively with lots of conversation and energy about the space. I will definitely be back to try more of the menu items and cocktails!

We had reservations Fri night but ended up sitting at the bar and had the best time! We had the arbi, tandoori mushrooms, keema pav, and amritsari fish. Everything tasted great, I loved the small plate concept bc we had so much variety. The cocktails also all tasted great! Staff was very attentive and friendly, you can tell they're all passionate about the food/drinks. There was also a DJ at the end which really elevated the vibe. Can't wait to be back!

In their defense, when they say INDN Small Plates & Cocktails, they mean small plates. So this is definitely a good spot to share food and to grab a drink. They do have entrees as well but I feel like the joy is in sharing the small plates (which are on the pricey side and really tasty fwiw). I liked how the front of the restaurant was open to the street, giving it an al fresco vibe. While I enjoyed the music they were playing, I definitely had to speak pretty loudly and to strain my ears to hear my friends talking so that's something to bear in mind.
