Mustard Indian Eatery

Excellent food and outstanding service. Every dish was flavorful and cooked perfectly, and the staff was incredibly kind and attentive. Highly recommend if you’re looking for delicious Indian cuisine.”

Great spot! This is going to be my new go-to for Indian food. The saag paneer was delicious and the garlic naan was perfectly soft on the bottom and light and crispy on top. The service is great and the dining area is nice too with really cool music. Definitely coming back.

I enjoyed my meal here. Very friendly staff with great recommendations. I started my meal off with the masala chai and I also ordered the garlic naan with SHORSHE BHATA MAACH (Calcutta-style mustard fish curry). I would order this dish again. Before and after pictures to really let yall know it was delicious.

I loved this place so much I went two days in a row! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and authentic, with a great variety to choose from. The staff speaks good English and gave excellent recommendations, which made the experience even better. Service is friendly and welcoming, and the dishes are consistently delicious.

Ummmm, how to start this…Go Now and Eat Now. If you order take away, then you miss the atmosphere, the music and the fantastic service from Prama, who gave perfect suggestions and was so kind. Make a date night and go for a real Indian cuisine get away. My dish, Mughlai Biryani vegetable, was outstanding. The rice had such flavor and balance of spices with a touch heat that I was taken back, really, with each bite and the yogurt sauce refreshed each tasting. A double appetizer of jalapeño cheese naan and papri chaat was just the start I had wished for and it exceeded what I had thought I was going to get. My Calcutta lemonade was also another great level up from the normal lemonades, this one has a touch of masala. And Prama brought a dessert, sandesh I think. Did not ask, didn’t need to, it too was fantastic. Again, Go Now…even if you have never had Indian cuisine, this will turn you.

We found this restaurant by Googling Indian restaurants in Harlem. It got pretty good reviews, so we gave it a try and we were not disappointed. The restaurant decor was simple but nice. The waitress was very friendly and attentive. My boyfriend ordered some spicy chicken curry dish and I ordered butter chicken. Unlike some other Indian restaurants, they cooked chicken perfectly soft and juicy. We also shared samosas, which was crispy and yummy. We could tell this restaurant really takes pride in serving delicious, quality food. If you are ever in West Harlem and in the mood for Indian food, we 100% would recommend to try this restaurant. The portions and prices were also great!

The food here was amazing . My coworker & I decided to swing by on our lunch break. Our server name was Brama. She was absolutely the nicest person. She seated us, kept checking on us to make sure everything was okay, and also told us some of her favorite items that were on the menu since it was my first time coming. The food was nice & fresh. I had butter chicken, rice, & garlic naan. Everything was very tasty. I also give another compliment to the chef for making such a lovely lunch. I am glad I came & will be coming back soon!

Fantastic! I've been here twice so far -- once with my parents, and once on Valentine's Day with my girlfriend -- and I'll definitely be back for more. On both visits, the food was absolutely delicious: intensely flavorful, yet not too heavy. It's a calm, clean interior with no frills -- just great food and kind, attentive, friendly service. I highly recommend the mughlai gosht, the dal tadka, and the chana masala. Also, as a Bengali, I'm also so glad they have specifically Bengali dishes like kosha mangsho on the menu! Every dish I've tried, so far, has tasted like home.

Everything was delicious. I had the lunch special. I had the Murgh (Chicken) Chettinad. Which is named for a Mercantile Caste in Tamil Nadu. We had the mulligatawny soup which was remarkably bland almost like a watered down unspiced dal. The chicken was spiced, tasty, and served with a hot naan. The naan was unremarkable and didn't have a lot of texture. Sort of a commercial mass produced bakery product. The achar, was a mixed pickle, was very spicy and nice. I didn't see any other piles on the menu. The cabbage and potato was spicy and delicious. Easily the pick of the meal. Overall the spot is really nice neighborhood spot. The dining room was bright with sunlight streaming through large storefront windows. Definiatly worth the walk uptown.

Had a hankering for Indian and decided on delivery. Found a deal on GrubHub so ordered Mustard Indian's Lunch Special Rogan Josh plus a Mulligatawny Soup. Really enjoyed everything in the flavorful Rogan Josh Lunch Special, especially along with the warm naan. Particularly worthwhile with my GrubHub promo. The Mulligatawny Soup was less exciting and may be less of a value at its regular price. Since it's nearby, likely pickup next time I order. Would recommend Mustard Indian, especially that Lunch Special.

Decebt indian restaurabt, the mulligwatany soup was flavorful, ambience and decor was lively. The jalepeni cheese naan was nice. The chana marsala was good flavor. Service was ok and could have been more attentive. But nice lil restaurant when visiting Harlem, NYC.

Best Indian restaurant I have tried in a long time! Had to come out of Yelp retirement to write this review. Beautiful new restaurant, which was unfortunately not too crowded. Ordered vinadloo, butter chicken, chana masala, and saag paneer. All come with rice. Amazing flavors, not a bad dish all around. Reminded me of my time in Singapore having great Indian food. The complexion of flavors was on another level. Must try in New York City if you are in the area. I was not expecting much but this place blew my expectations away!

I cannot recommend this eatery, for the service is far from satisfactory. Delivery food arrives late, cold with no apologies. When I called the restaurant, the staff was either dismissive or patronizing. Luckily there are many other options in the neighborhood.

Finally a good Indian option in the neighborhood! The owners are so kind and the food is on point. Highly recommended!

Great staff, very friendly. Very good food as well. Value for money. Thank you and we will be coming back.

Really impressive Indian restaurant in Harlem - the staff there are very attentive, kind, and thoughtful (especially to families). Interior is bright and clean. We ordered daal tadka, garlic naan, raita, mango lassi, and chicken skewer and it was well seasoned, flavorful, and chicken was amazing char and not dry at all. Definitely recommend checking out! We will be returning in the future.

That is best Indian food I have ever had! The vegetable biryani, saag paneer, and tandoori chicken were amazing.

Had lunch here yesterday. The Lamb Rogan Josh and Goat Biryani dishes were delicious. Aloo Tikki Chaat for a starter was perfect. The place is very clean and bright. We especially love the BYOB option. Desert was very tasty Indian ice cream and they brought us a complimentary rice pudding which was also delicious. A solid Indian restaurant. The spices are all on point and the environment is excellent. We will definitely return.

Very good addition to neighborhood..ordered vegetable samosas -they were very light and flavorful, tried butter chicken as per nyt review-very moist, tasty, plus other dishes -all good -people working there, extremely nice...

I got takeout. Delicious! Well-seasoned (spiced authentically). Generous portions. I cannot wait to try everything on the menu.

The food is very good and highly recommended. If you enjoy real flavorful Indian food this is the place. We tried the usual dishes as well as some new ones and they were all delicious.

Wonderful restaurant. Has some unusual dishes that you won't get in regular Indian restaurants - like fish in mustard sauce, amazing goat meat and lamb preparations. Hope more folks start trying out this new place!

Food is excellent! Some of the best Indian I've had in a long time. The chicken and paneer were juicy and sauces were flavorful! Great attentive service as well!

Mustard is, by far, the best Indian in Harlem. We live in Central Harlem and used to go to Indian Summer but their dishes had so little chicken that we would often be disappointed. Mustard has a great menu, their food is perfect and delicious, authentic, and their service is exceptional. This is our place for amazing Indian food.

This may be the best Indian food I have had in NYC. It is nothing fancy, but it is incredibly delicious. Couldn't recommend more

I ordered on Grubhub today for lunch. I found the food to be fresh and hot and very tasty. So I would recommend them. Only thing I suggest is instead of the cabbage to consider offering an appetizer or other option on the side of the lunch special. The delivery also came quick and I appreciated that

Fabulous!! Butter chicken & lassi were delicious. Very excited about this new addition to the neighborhood. Will return & highly recommend. 90% of menu is naturally GF, although it's not marked, they explained it and pointed out everything to avoid.

Absolutely insane Indian food- rich and deep flavors and high quality freshness. Savored every bite. The hospitality was just as incredible. Instant fan and will be back!

We loved our meal here! Truly one of the best Indian restaurants in Manhattan. We had the butter chicken, the chili paneer, the dal tadka, lasooni gobi and the papri chaat. Everything was perfect. We will definitely be back!

Love this spot! It's fairly new in the neighborhood but I've eaten here 3-4 times. It is very clean. The staff is always kind, efficient, and helpful. And everything that I've ordered is stellar and reasonably pried!

I think this newcomer is currently the best Indian food in South Harlem. Ordered twice so far, very happy. Will return soon.
