Javitri

Javitri offers a well-rounded Indian dining experience, featuring both classic dishes you’d expect and a few less common selections, adding a touch of variety to the menu. I opted for the prix fixe menu, which was overall good—nothing particularly groundbreaking, but satisfying especially for lunch. Pricing felt standard for a restaurant of this caliber, making it a solid option for a refined yet approachable Indian meal.

The food at Javitri was excellent. We loved the tikka masala and biryani. Beware, the goat biryani is full of bones. I subtracted one star because the waitress specifically said “none of the biryani dishes have bones” but then the goat biryani was full of bones. When I asked her about it she tried to gaslight me. Very weird service experience overall. But the food was good.

Really enjoyed the food here and good selection of beer! Ambiance was clean and aesthetic. Service was nice too, the whole experience was more “classy” than your typical Indian Restaurant. They were clearly trying a fresh take on Indian food and it worked Paneer tikka app - came in a cast iron hot plate, great flavor that popped in the mouth. Paneer itself was soft and clearly made fresh Jackfruit biryani - my first time trying jackfruit in biryani and it did not disappoint. I also love me the presentation because I love when it comes fresh out the tandoor Saag paneer - well made saag, very little heavy cream which I really appreciated, rather focused on the spices itself Naan - fresh and crispy I’d definitely go back, Indian food in general is expensive in the city, might as well pay similar prices but better food!

This place not only has some of the best food in the city these days but the staff as well is just as good. The Manager is so gentle and kind and goes over the extra mile to make his customers happy and try new stuff too. I’ve made it a weekly routine to go eat here not only for the delicious food but for the staff that makes it feel like a family. The food has never disappointed and comes out super fresh and hot. The menu has very good selections for people who want to eat and try different things. Hands down in my top 3 best restaurants in NYC

Javitri offers an exceptional dining experience! The ambiance is elegant, and the service is top-notch. The dishes are flavorful without being overwhelming, making it perfect for those who enjoy well-balanced flavors. From the creamy butter chicken to the fresh naan, everything was cooked to perfection. Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic and delicious Indian cuisine!

Wasn't impressed by the food. It was average at most. Ordered Chicken Biryani, paneer pasanda, garlic chilli nan and gobi manchurian First: Gobi manchurian was very dis-appointing, no flavor just gobi pakoda tossed in tomato ketchup. Also, who serves an appetizer like this ? (see attached photo). 6 pieces in an very small plate. Just overall zero effort in presentation. Chicken Biryani: The rice very mushy, in a biryani all rice grains are supposed to be separated from each other. Taste wasn't bad but it was like a pulao not biryani. Just mushy rice and chicken mixed together and served in a pot. Paneer pasanda: It was fine, good to eat. Thing I didn't like was they charged $20 for water. They asked for water, still or sparkling and we ordered still. Didn't expected to be charged $20 for the water. Portion size is small (Not a complaint, just for some information to someone reading the review) Not going to visit again

Beautiful Indian bistro very near to Central Park. We tried the Beet Dahi Puri, Jodhpuri Dal, and Chicken Tikka Masala. Everything was very flavorful and perfect for sharing family style! Our server, Sonam and Mr Dhanduram, the executive chef were excellent!

Every dish I’ve had from here has been super flavorful and delicious. I especially love their dal dishes and jackfruit biryani. They have continued to be really creative with their dishes and their drinks which makes it fun to come back and see what’s new! Service is also very attentive.

Ya'll... believe it or not, I'm new to the Indian food scene but I have to say, this was a good introduction. Everything was super tasty and I tried so many different things. The Amritsari Fry appetizer was one of my favorites. It was crispy, light and well seasoned as well as the Patiala Chicken Masala which was their version of a Chicken Tikka Masala. I only had 2 drinks this time after being out all day but my first one was smooth and fruity and the second was kind of like an old fashioned (I'm sorry I don't have the names since their drink menus aren't online). We also had their classic mango lassi which was a creamy and refreshing way to cleanse my palette. Lastly, the service was incredible. ‍We were served by the general manager who did an amazing job with recommendations and suggesting dishes that I should try as a newbie. Overall it was a great experience and I deff think you should check them out for yourselves. As always thank you @javitri.nyc for having me!!

Was delighted to try this place. Most of the items here are pretty yummy! Service is friendly, prompt and provide great recommendations! The fish and dal were really yummy. But my down side was the butter chicken, it was overly sweet and the chicken tasted old. They were nice to fix it but even when sending back and getting a new one it was still the same! Maybe it was an off day, would try it out again . The ambiance is vibrant modern and welcoming Must have: dal and fish

Try this place for dinner last night. Everything was very good! Ordered the lamb chops based on another reviewer and they were awesome! Cooked to perfection, tender, and delicious! Also tried the.dum biryani with chicken. Neither of us had ever tried something like this before we both liked it. The non-bread across the top was soft, the rice and chicken were both flavorful with an ice cake. Ordered a side of garlic, naan bread that was fine but unnecessary with the dish just mentioned. The side sauces that came with both dinners accompanying them nicely. We also ordered the tiramisu for dessert. We both felt the bottom crust was a little too dry, but the top was nice. Overall, an excellent meal... I would definitely return!

We really wanted to like this place. I think the food can do with more spices. But it is a quiet pleasant place to sit down and catch up with friends.

I had the jackfruit biryani and dal bukhara here. The biryani had a nice blend of spices and good variety from caramelized onions. I would have liked a larger portion of raita on the side. The dal bukhara was rich and creamy, though I could have used a bit more on the seasoning to cut through a bit. The dal also came with a serving of white rice. Prices are about average at $47 total.

Wowww!!! What a GREAT!!! Restaurant! What a great find! Definitely one of the best Indian restaurants that we have been to. The service was outstanding, so attentive, so friendly and welcoming, they make you feel at home. The servers were super attentive, they recommended some dishes according to what we liked.. which was very helpful! Especially when I'm not too familiar with Indian dishes' names. Now, the food was OUTSTANDING!!! We ended up getting the raj kachori, the chicken handi lazeez, garlic naan and the lamb chops. The lamb chops were to DIE FOR! Absolutely a must try! They are seasoned so well with the perfect amount of spice. The chicken was absolutely delicious as well, it came in a broth, kind of stew, with a bit it spice as well, so so good! The naan was exceptional and crisp, super fresh! The little onions on the side are definitely a great addition to balance the flavors of every dish. Now, I'm not really a dessert person BUT!!! The desserts are to die for! We tried the white little milk balls with pistachios (I can't remember the name) and also the round brown deep fried little sweet balls as well (I'm so sorry I can't remember the name either!), they were so so tasty and full of flavor! The chef Ram came out to the tables to check on the food, which was a great special touch. All of the servers were so attentive and helpful! The ambiance was great as well, calmed for a Sunday night perfect for a casual dinner with my husband. We'll definitely be back! Thanks!

We went to Javitri on a whim having walked by it on the way to work. The staff were very nice despite the late hour and helped me find something to eat from their menu. The staff were super friendly. The lamb kadai was excellent. The meat was very flavorful with great texture. The samosa cigars, were good, but I prefer traditional samosa. The chicken masala had excellent flavor too. We could talk comfortably and they have dividing screens that keeps the volume comfortable.

Hosted a large party of mine easily. Great polite service. Food was awesome! Loved the paneer appetizer, the jumbo naan and many other dishes

Delicious Indian Food. Love the vibe! Very attentive and professional service. Top rating! Will definitely come back. Super. Flavors that burst in your mouth.

Dipped in for an impromptu dinner and was pleasantly surprised. The food is fresh and the atmosphere is clean and up to date. Would definitely recommend anyone wanting to try a fresh take on Indian cuisine.

Visited Javitri for a Sunday night solo dinner. Was completely blown away by the level of service that was provided. I was tended to by a waiter and two hosts, who made sure I had everything I needed. The waiters are very knowledgeable and are happy to take any customizations you may desire. I tried the lamb special with garlic naan, and the flavor was just incredible. Another detail I loved was that the head chef, Javitri himself, came out to ask my opinion on the dish!! They truly made me feel like royalty there. Will be returning to try other menu items soon.

Delicious beyond compare. The atmosphere is so beautiful, and the service specatcular. I compare it to the best of restaurants in New York. Nina E

Welcome to the new and happening gourmet Indian restaurant. Awesome drinks and delicious food. I had an awesome time great service and beautiful ambience. Love this place - definitely coming back again.

One of my favorite Indian restaurants in NYC! I genuinely have such a high standard and absolutely loved everything we had. My highlights were the chicken biriyani, giant naans, dhahi puri, and saag paneer. The chef and staff are all super nice and we even got to chat with the chef at the end. He's super sweet and gave us rasmalai on the house. 10/10 recommend!!

Food is excellent! Raul is the king. The service is on another level. It's very rare to find an Indian restaurant with a vibe this good for dining in

Javitri opened recently so my wife and I gave it a try. We really liked it! Delicious Indian food, prompt and responsive service, a pleasant atmosphere and decent prices. What more could one hope for? We'll be back.

This place is amazing :))) the staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. Rahul brought out the best pakoras, samosa cigars, passion fruit pani puri shots, makhana which is crispy lotus root aka fancy Indian popular. The bartender, Sonu is also extremely talented and made me the most amazing taj tequila twist made from Mangos. Lastly, the owner Jay is very kind and easy to talk to. I can't wait to go back here again!

The food was so amazing and the service is great. I was here sitting at the bar and this is one of the best experiences with any Indian food I've had. The restaurant is very well decorated and gives off a very nice vibe. I would definitely recommend.

Terrific food, inviting space, great lunch special, friendly and efficient staff. A very welcome addition to the neighborhood.

Charming interior. Attentive and charming service. And FABULOUS food! We'll be back. AAAAA+++++

Ate dinner yesterday. Both the food and the service was terrible. Biryani was too salty. Butter chicken is some of the worst I have had.

Great new neighborhood Indian spot! Rahul was a wonderful host and the food was delicious and very filling! Lovely space and incredible service! Highly recommended!!!

So thrilled this opened in the neighborhood. Wonderful food, great service. Nice space. Will be back.

Very pleasant new restaurant. Gracious owner and manager. Delicious food. Just opened. A nice addition to the Lenox Hill neighborhood.
