Sherkaan Indian Street Food

Soooo good. Would definitely return again. High quality food, well prepared, great flavor. Honestly some of my favorite Indian food that I’ve had.

Food is delicious. Servers are friendly and attentive. The only reason why I’m giving them 3⭐️ is because of their business practice of limiting diners to their dining experience to 2 hours. We had a reservation for 5:30. We get there, the host checks us in and immediately states “We’re going to need that table by 7:15pm, that should give you enough time, right? 2 hours?” It also happened to us before, while we were eating. The host came over and asked if we were almost done, because they needed the table for a reservation.

This place is located right in the heart of Yale University. It is clean, with a nice atmosphere and you can pick to sit inside or outside. The food was very good and the portions were pretty good and filling. We ended up taking half of it home. Their samosas were amazing by the way. Truly a lovely place.

Came here for happy hour - really cool ambience (loved the bikes on the ceiling and the artwork), friendly service, solid happy hour pricing on drinks and snacks. Chole was spot on, bhature was a little fluffier and less oily than I'm used to - not bad at all, just not what I expected. Wanted to like the butter chicken nachos more - again flavors were on point but the chips get really soggy under all the sauce. Would probably opt for butter chicken with some naan or rice instead of the fusion in the future. Good place overall to come with friends.

Sherkaan has some of the best Indian food I’ve ever tasted!!! This is one of my favorite lunch spots in New Haven, I always order the same things & they always hit the spot! Must try the Okra fries, spring rolls, hakka noodles, & butter chicken… my mouth is watering just thinking about it. Don’t forget an extra side of garlic cheese stuffed naan bread! The cocktails are always fun to explore, I love how creative the flavor combinations get. Service is always impeccable, the manager Eileen is so kind & knowledgeable! I order take out all the time & it’s always seamless with food tasting just as good as when I sit on their patio. Thank you to the whole team front & back, you’re the biggest reason why I keep coming back for more ❤️

Excellent food and friendly, helpful staff. I’m not an Indian food expert but Serkaan’s dishes remind me of the wonderful culinary experiences have had during my many trips to India.

The waiter was fast and friendly and I really liked the atmosphere and vibe of the place. It’s definitely a great spot to relax and enjoy your time. On a hot day, an ice-cold beer here would be perfect!

Craving Indian Street Food at Yale? Savor the flavors of India right here on campus! From spicy, tangy chaats to warm, flaky samosas — enjoy fast, flavorful Indian food with the perfect balance of quantity and quality.

We had an awesome experience at Sherkaan! First of all, the name is awesome. The vibe and decor is so cool and the art on the walls is very beautiful and thoughtful. We were walk-ins, but the hostess was able to seat us for an hour and 15 min until the next res arrived and we were so grateful! Our server, Nicole, was amazing! She gave great recs and didn't rush us at all. The food was fantastic! We had the samosa chaat, doja, and butter chicken. Our favorite was the chaat! For the doja, we had the aloo and we wished we would've gotten the chicken, but we had never had it before! It's like an Indian crepe. Very yummy and portable. The butter chicken always hits :) We will be back!

I had dinner at Sherkaan with my husband and some friends over the Fourth of July weekend when we were doing a bit of roadtrip through Connecticut and stopped in New Haven for a night. With its street food concept and large menu, it was a really fun meal for sharing with friends! We shared a bunch of dishes: chili gobi (marinated cauliflower, onion, sweet chili soy sauce, red bell pepper); pani puri (puri shells, chickpeas, spiced potato, onion, cilantro, sev, and chili mint water - or you can ask for tamarind water); okra fries (fried matchstick okra, chaat masala, lemon, and maggi ketchup); pav bhaji (toasted pav buns, vegetable curry, onion, and lime); chicken curry (marinated and braised chicken thigh, caramelized onion gravy, tomato, and basmati rice); paneer tikka (thick-sliced paneer marinated in spiced yogurt and tandoor roasted, red bell pepper, onion, lime, and green chutney); garlic and cheese naan; and gulab jamun (with grapefruit, rose syrup, and crushed pistachios). Overall, the food was very good - I enjoyed every dish! They also have a great variety of drinks - cocktails, mocktails, beer, and wine! I had their Count to Ten (tequila blanco, passionfruit, mango and rosemary shrub, dry curacao, and lime), which I really enjoyed. Then I had another cocktail (can't remember the name) - another great cocktail. We sat outside - they have a great patio that is a little quiet - it feels like you're right in the heart of campus, just by the campus bookstore. But the inside of the restaurant is very cool, too. Fun vibes inside and outside. The service was good as well. Overall, it was a delicious and fun dinner. I'd happily eat there again.

When I go out to eat, my goal is always to find either something that tastes so amazing that I'm inspired to try new things in my own cooking, or something I can't possibly duplicate at home--either because the method is too complex or the ingredients are too specialized. Sherkaan absolutely delivered on the drinks and the Pani Puri. The flavors in the Pani Puri and the crisp, melting texture of the shell are absolutely delightful. My only advice would be to eat them as soon as you get them, because if you try to save them for the end of the meal so that you can taste them again, the base of the shell will go soggy in the sauce. I also got the chicken frankie roll. Honestly, it mostly just made me wish I'd gotten one of the curry sharing plates instead. The chicken curry in the roll was absolutely delicious, but it was really dominated by the slaw and the flatbread, which didn't have the right kind of textural and flavor power to handle being the stars of the roll. I would absolutely come back here! Service was excellent, the ambiance is lovely, and I'm sure there are many more fascinating and delicious things on their menu I didn't get to try.

Was recommended by a family member, and all of the food was delicious. The garlic naan had a LOOOOT of garlic on it, which made it some of the best garlic naan I've had. The gobi pakora was delicious and had the perfect balance of crispy + sauce, and was sad we weren't able to finish it all. The butter chicken was pretty typical, and had a good amount of spice. All plating was pretty, and overall, some good Indian food at a reasonable price.

Spoiler alert: I love Sherkaan! I have been to this place many times since my first review. My friends and I have decided we love their Happy Hour (although they got rid of their spicy margarita from the HH menu. Please bring it back, I love that marg!) Their service is always great. I love their space and there's ample seating, although parties larger than 8 may be difficult to seat The items we find ourselves ordering again and again include the HH butter chicken nachos (which they will sub paneer in for a veggie option) and their espresso martini. Opinions on a random selection of their other foods: - HH Makhani Mac n cheese: really creamy mac n cheese with a slight curry kick - Butter chicken: amazing! love love the creaminess and spiciness. - Chaat dog: surprisingly good! - Pani puri: table favourite - Hakka noodles: I will fight people for this - Samosas: I will also fight people for this - Spring rolls: just okay, wouldn't order again - Dum Biryani: impressive! Not quite my flavor profile but others love it

Absolutely delicious! 10/10 must try Food, Drinks, atmosphere, and service were all great. I've been raving about it since going!

This was the best dinner I've had in my two-weeks-plus in New Haven. It came highly recommended, but everything exceeded my expectations. We had a sampling of a few things including the goat curry (you have to get it. The spices were perfect), lamb kabeb (with piles of shaved red onions on top), aloo dosa (really, really big portion for what you pay), and garlic naan (tender and buttery). This is a really fun place to spend an hour, busy with people and really well organized. The seats were unbelievably comfortable (weird thing to note, but they really were), and our service was excellent. We even got a story about a bridal party our server had gone to. It was all brilliant, honestly. I can't wait to try to happy hour which has, I believe, nachos done with indian spices and meats, along with cocktails, which sounds like the best thing I could do at 4pm in the afternoon with my one wild life.

My friend and I came here for Sunday Brunch today. It was our first time here after hearing many good things and seeing great reviews. We were seated right away in a booth. The first thing we appreciated was the beautiful decor and ambiance. Our server was sweet and helpful with choosing what we wanted from the menu. We ordered the Om Tea and the Desi Chai to start. I absolutely loved that my drink came with cookies! I ordered the Chai French Toast from the brunch menu and my friend got the Chaat Dog. We were both pleased and I look forward to returning for dinner to experience the regular menu.

Sherkaan has ruined Indian for me - in the BEST way possible! I've been coming here for a few years now and have recommended it to countless people. I continue to try other Indian restaurants and they simply pale in comparison. Maybe it's their depth of flavor, the street food aspect, or the facets of Indo-fusion cuisine - but I refuse to go anywhere else at this point. The team is usually very accommodating and warm - although a recent lunch visit left a bit to be desired (we felt rushed even though the restaurant was not full at all!). Food is always cooked to perfection and served hot and fresh! Top items that my husband and I continue to opt for, tried and true: Butter Chicken, Indo-Chinese Ribs with Fried Okra, Chili Chicken, Samosas, Garlic Naan. Time and time again, they never fail! We've tried almost everything else on the menu but these are the go-tos! Don't sleep on their bar either - the drink menu is inventive, incorporating south Asian flavors, herbs and spices in a way that makes me want to try them all. From traditional Mango Lassi, to Rose Lemonade, to crafted cocktails, you can't go wrong. The innovative menu, easy to love brand, and delicious eats keep us coming back. I'll keep finding an excuse to be here for any meal time!

Great name for a restaurant! We were in the area and in the mood for street food. The decor is gorgeous and attention to detail was evident from the seating to the menu to the entire vibe of the restaurant. The drinks are so unique. The drinks menu deserves 5-stars. The flavor combinations make you doubt, until you actually try it. I don't like cumin but thought I would try a drink with it out of curiosity. Loved it! Who would think of putting cumin in a cocktail? Well done! We ordered several dishes. Everything tasted great, but my bhel puri was soggy (not the original crisp I am used to), and not enough flavor. They might of missed adding sauces. Since bhel puri is a staple of street food I need to give the eats a 4. The nan, curry, Szechuan chicken and sandwich were flavor packed and I would definitely come back to try other menu items. Especially the drinks! Great service and super friendly team.

Yummy elevated Indian street food! My partner and I came here on a Friday night (made reservations) for our Valentine's day dinner. We definitely recommend making a reservation for dinner time on the weekends since it can get busy. The service was fantastic! Our servers were wonderful and so kind. We were able to make it for happy hour so we decided to get a passion fruit lemonade and poutine. The poutine was good but really small and the drink was great. If you LOVE tart, you will definitely like, but if you don't I wouldn't get it. For food, we got the two most popular dishes: butter chicken and samosa chaat. They were both DELICIOUS! Super flavorful and filled with spices. The garlic naan was honestly probably one of the best naans I've had. The prices were great for the portions. I would definitely come back.

What amazing food! We stopped in town for a short visit and several folks recommended Sherkaan! We were not disappointed.

Seriously good Indian food. Lives up to all the hype. You must dine here if you're in the area (Yale students are so lucky, they don't even know!). Service was wonderful and the decor was beautiful. We ordered far too much food, but since we were visiting, we wanted to make sure we tried all of their star dishes, and then some. - Samosa chaat: the best dish - Naan: amazing - Hakka noodles: just alright, suggest skipping this dish - Butter chicken: to die for - Dum Briyani: I think the spices (sheer volume of it) was overwhelming. This is usually my favorite Indian dish to order, but I'd stick to the butter chicken next time - Chai: stellar - Mango kulfi: HEAVEN sent, must order item I'm so bummed to not live close. This was such a great find!

Good Naan & Beverage Menu w/ attentive and classy service and vibe. It was my first time checking this place out. I was waiting for the Apple Store and was there for a very short tie, but enjoyed it!

Consistently the best Indian food in New Haven. Also really good value for money when compared to most Indian restaurants.

This place was located in downtown New Haven. The parking situation wasn't that bad actually we were able to find parking in the front that was metered. The restaurant is located within the Yale community. The food and service were both excellent. We had special requests that were taken care of immediately. We were able to enjoy happy hour as well as some of the dinner menu items. My favorite would have to be the wings and the butter chicken nachos. The inside looked great as well. There were numerous paintings on the wall that made it seem like it had that salvation flare!

Delicious desi food, just in the midst of Yale University. We are a large group, and made reservations earlier so we get seated. Service was quick and they have a great sized bar. Brunch menu is offered along with the many different items. We ordered Pani Puri, Dahi Puri, Goat Curry with Tandoori naan. Chicken tikka Butter chicken with Cheese naan. Biriyani which is a huge portion Hakka Noodles and Chilli Chicken. drinks are amazing Especially the presentation of The Mumbai Manhattan, Cardamom Queen ( not so great ). Bandar Log Crew and a nimbu Pani spiked with tequila Food came out super quick and the waitress was super friendly and knew every dish and drink, she explained them very well. Ambiance is super cool, with Indian music playing. Overall great experience, highly recommended for Indian style street food.

I visited this restaurant for lunch and had a very mixed experience. If you are expecting authentic Indian food with authentic flavors, this isn't the place for you, but most of the dishes were still okay. Everything was a lot sweeter than typical Indian food, which might suit customers who have lower spice tolerance. The only major disappointment was the biryani, which looked beautiful but had undercooked rice with no flavor. The chicken in the biryani was cooked in a yogurt marinade that seemed to have very little seasoning. The appetizers came out very quickly but unfortunately the entrees were pretty slow. The outdoor seating is very nice though and inside looked really pretty too.

I was skeptical about coming here because I'm not really a fan of Indian food but we were being adventurous. First off the atmosphere and decorations were so cute. There may have been a little extra decoration for Diwali, but I really liked their style. I ordered a sangria which was ok nothing to write home about. For a meal I got the samosas and the butter chicken. The presentation was great. The garlic naan was amazing. The chicken was good but again I'm just not a fan of Indian food, but it was pretty tasty. Even in the cooler temps, people were dining outside and looked pretty comfortable. This place looks perfect for lunch or even a dinner date.

Ambiance: definitely a beautiful restaurant! The murals on the wall were really captivating and the bicycles on the ceiling were definitely a first for me but seemed part of the story of the restaurant. Service: the service was great and the food came out quickly. The staff were really friendly and gave great and very honest recommendations. Food: the food!!! Amazing I missed taking pictures of the food because it was amazing the dosa, butter chicken, the roti all were amazing but one of the best dishes was absolutely the ribs. Would recommend everything mentioned here and would love to go back again and try more!

So I came with a group about a year ago and the menu must have been pre fixed. At that time it was amazing! This particular time it was very VERY spicy. To the point it was not enjoyable. Be tried the butter chicken which was the spiciest! The extra yogurt dish t even help. Not sure if I'll be back at this time.

The ambiance is so special - really sets the tone for what you're about to get into. The apps were much better than the shareable dishes and the drinks were awesome. I loved the presentation of everything - the drinks, the food and the chai. Our waitress was really really good and catered to our questions (the menu was is really overwhelming - you don't know where to start!) and gave honest suggestions. The chili chicken was a favorite along with the pani puri. The chai was good and the mango lassi had a little twist - making it taste more like mango kulfi - which I enjoyed. We look forward to coming back!

I love Indian food and this place definitely hit the spot!! The ambiance inside was beautiful. The bar area where we sat was so spacious for a bar. The food menu was unique compared to other Indian restaurants but still had your popular known favs. I loved everything I ordered!

During my summer session at Yale University, Sherkaan Indian Street Food shifted my entire listing of favorite foods! Now, I love Indian dishes and have been in search of such delicious meals ever since I tried a variety of their dishes. The service was smooth and I loved the decorative ambiance!

Strongly recommended. A vast lively indoor space and outdoor patio tucked behind the Yale bookstore with friendly service and delicious Indian food. The standouts we ordered were: -butter chicken. rich and creamy, chicken stayed tender (which is tough to do!) - biryani, served in a giant iron bucket thing covered with a semi-edible dough. The goat curry was yummy, the rice had a great texture and color even if the saffron flavor wasn't that prominent - samosa chaat. Even if the crunchiness is dampened by being dunked in so many sauces, the sauces were vibrant. Even the Chinese-inspired dishes my colleague ordered were surprising but equally tasty.

What a fantastic meal, and great service too. Cute patio environment. The food is possibly the most authentic I've had outside of India--especially the masala dosa, the chili chicken and the white rice. I would absolutely return.

Food is absolutely delicious. Service was great, drinks were phenomenal. I was lucky enough to get there for happy hour, and had the Mango jalapeno margarita. Also had the grapefruit G&T. Both amazing! Was disappointed in the portions for the butter chicken, very small but tasty nonetheless. Other reviews stated that the butter chicken was too spicy, but I found that it was a perfectly appropriate spice. My waitress stated that it changes from day to day, which means that it's made fresh, and I like that. I had the Samosa Chaat, and those were extremely spicy, still very tasty, but a bit distracting with everything going on. I think I would have preferred the punjabi samosas better. Well in all a great experience!

Sherkaan is a great deviation from the traditional Indian food I'm accustomed to at other restaurants. I've never been to India so I don't know the authenticity of these "street foods" but it was good to me. My very first experience here was takeout. The food overall was great, even though there were personal hits and misses. I loved the dahi puri, I wanted more but the puffed rice of the bhel puri was too much and I wanted less Lol. The green chutney was amazing. My other experience was dining in. Again the food was all good but still hits and misses as a matter of personal taste. My favorite item was the chicken stuffed Naan. They offer it plain or with a butter sauce (makhani naan) I can't figure out if I loved the sauce or if I liked it because the whole time I was trying to figure out the familiar spice in it. I should have just asked. Lol. The Gunpowder Shrimp was a safe dish. While grilled and flavored well, it is definitely foe the less daring eater. Drinks are night club pricey but good. I loved the fashionable decor and the atmosphere! We sat at a high table/booth. The host was very hospitable. It was busy and I say that because the while service was good, when we needed her, our server wasn't always available. There was a moment of hope when our server was heading towards us, and then Bamm, she gets stopped by one of her several other tables. But overall she was friendly and did the best she could with a fully packed restaurant. My recommendation with eating at Sherkaan is to try everything and don't play it safe!!! Just don't be shocked at the end because that bill (especially with cocktails) can add up quickly... Even with some hits and some misses You will Enjoy!

Fantastic. I'll keep writing because short Yelp reviews aren't that helpful but if you like Indian food (or want to start), this spot is for you. We ordered a ton of food: dahi puri, butter chicken, lamb curry, the chutneys (a must get), and the dum biryani. All of it was excellent, and the service was as well. Really cool vibe. Easy recommendation as a "must try" in New Haven.

This was the best dining experience that we've had since moving to CT. The food was mouthwatering. The cocktails were unique, well balanced, and just right. The ambiance was great. The service was top notch. If you have Nicole as your server, trust every recommendation she makes. She was amazing, listened to our preferences, and truly delivered on all fronts. Plus ... this was the easiest gluten-free dinner I've had in an incredibly long time. Most of the menu is naturally gluten-free, and it's clearly marked. If we could give more than 5 stars, we would. Made for a very happy anniversary dinner. Thank you, Nicole! Second visit (11/8/24): still a 10. Tried all new dishes and everything was fantastic!

Salad is tasty but a little spicy for my wife. Mango lassi has some spice so that it is good combination with foods. Garlic Naan is great.

Recently I Visited Sherkaan Located In The Heart Of New Haven At The Shoppes At Yale. This Hidden Gem With Delicious Food & A Unique Atmosphere & Large Outdoor Patio Can Be Found Amongst Great Shopping! I Highly Recommend Ordering The Gobi Pakora, Chaat Dog, & Butter Chicken- You Won't Be Disappointed! In Fact, You'll Be Planning Your Return Before You Leave!

First time coming here, what a great experience. Loved the food, the atmospher was very opened with lots of great art designs that felt like your eating at a local reaturant in India. The staff was extremely friendly, we had a large party which they were able to accomodate. Lots of seating inside along with plenty of bar side seating. We had a company reservation so I was able to sample a little bit of everything. We started with the Samosa Chaat, which is a great dish for vegetarians. A great to keep your stomach in check before more food came to our table. The chili chicken was a great way to start our course. Not extremely spicy but it can be made to whatever level you want. The level for me was perfect. The Kachumbar Salad had some nice fresh cucumber, onions, green chili, radish, splashed with cumin lime vinaigrette. On to my favorite the butter chicken. Tender tandoori chicken, tomato, cashew, caramelized onion, cream, cilantro, served with Jasmine Rice. The chicken was great the sause was very savory, it paired perfectly with the jasmine rice and garglic naan to soak up the sauce. The garlic naan was served warmed and was very fluffly. The final sample was the tandoori salmon, tender, and spiced just right. Keep in these pictures may not be the full sized portions as we had a special corporate menu. I wanted to thamk their staff for an amazing job. I hope to come back again to visit and try other things. The resturant is nested between the Yale book store and Apple store making it a nice hidden jem of New Haven.

I could smell the indian spices as i was walking to the restaurant. Once i walked in, the server sat us right away. It's a very nice decorative restaurant with great bollywood songs playing in the background. Butter chicken - 4/5 - the butter chicken was flavorful but it felt like it was missing something. maybe it was short on spices or they forgot to add something. overall the dish was still delicious samosa chat - 5/5 - the samosa chat was already mashed up and ready to go. there was a right amount of spices and it tasted amazing. it had a little spicy kick to it but it was so well balanced garlic naan - 5/5 - the garlic naan was soft and wasn't dripping in oil. it had the right amount of fluffy texture. Overall the vibes of this restaurant is amazing! Would definitely come back!

While the chaat experiences we love ordering from here, especially their dahi puri and vada pav. We love ordering those dishes from there, and will keep ordering them. Their tandoori salmon is good but such a small portion for the price one pays for it. Finally, we ordered their chicken biryani. The rice was undercooked, and I made the mistake of eating a couple of spoons which made tremendously sick overnight. This is the second time I have ordered their foods, and each time the main dishes have been lack luster!

Best cocktails, best fusion of Indian and American while keeping the core importance of Indian flavors. Manager is awesome, and service was great

Run don't walk to this place! We were visiting Yale for the day and wanted to make a stop here for dinner. Couldn't have made a better decision. The decor of the restaurant was very Indian inspired, not too gimmicky which a lot of places usually do. Our hostess sat us in a really cool booth in the corner, we felt special and it was since we were celebrating a birthday. Our server was genuinely so nice and attentive. She made a great recommendation on getting the Dahi Puri as an appetizer. Our drinks tasted really good, I was happy with my chai and the Parle-G cookies that came with it! We are Indian so we know good Indian food, and lemme tell you this place lived up to our expectations. Those Vada Pav sliders are to die for!! Never experienced anything like that. And the Goat Curry?! *chefs kiss* it might be on the spicy side if your sensitive, but there's no turning back once you've savored the spices and rich flavors of the curry. Everyone around us enjoyed themselves and you could see people from all backgrounds, college students, tourists (hi it me), and mature adults. My only regret was that we were unable to try their desserts because we had to make our way back to Manhattan. If I'm ever coming back to New Haven, which I definitely will, I'm going to make a pit stop to do so.

Stopped here for lunch one day and it was the best Indian food that I've ever. The interior is very decorative and festive with plentiful tables and also a spacious bar seating area - I imagine it would be great to come for dinner as well. Me and my friend were both absolutely blown away by the Dahi Puri - crispy hollow fried balls with a creamy sweet savory filling of onions, chickpeas, and yogurt. I was looking for something similar to an Indian street food that my coworker had once shared with me, but this was even better! The Samosa chaat was also so delicious, very saucy and similar flavor profile to the Dahi Puri. We were already pretty full after these two apps. The garlic naan was delicious, and the chicken curry we got was also above average. The drinks were strong and yummy, and I loved the spiked mango lassi. Definitely want to stop by again next time I'm by New Haven!

You can't go wrong with Sherkaan. From its location on Broadway in New Haven to its lively dining room. Speaking of which, it's a good idea to make a reservation as they hold events here. The dining room has great style with bicycles on the ceiling and other decor from India. They even have a tiger imprint in the foam of one of their signature cocktails. We didn't eat the traditional street food this time around, though I highly recommend it as it's delicious. Plenty of vegetarian options as well. Apart from the Dum Biryani, which comes in a cauldron with a covering of fresh baked bread (delicious), we ordered a bunch of chicken dishes. An all time favorite is the creamy butter chicken, then roti stuffed with chicken and chicken tikka smothered with freshly cut onions. The chickpeas were aromatic with a tomato base sauce and spices. The Hakka noodles were tangy and fit in nicely with the rest of the spread. The idea was to order and take a lot home for later, which went as planned. The pace can feel rushed here as there's a lot of commotion with waitstaff running around and crowds of people talking loudly. However, the seating is good (they have higher tables by the bar and booths in the back) and once you tuck into the food, you'll enter a state of bliss. If you're unfamiliar with Indian food, start with Sherkaan. If you're a fan of Indian street food, go with Sherkaan. If you appreciate well-prepared, tasteful food... just go!

- Buttered Chicken 7.3/10 so super spicy. Nothing will ever come close to Taste of India at home. I am let down every time. Got extra yogurt to help with the spicy. I saw the owner making comments on Yelp saying they can adjust the spice but my waitress said there was no adjustment since the sauce is pre made which kinda turned me off. - Cheese Stuffed Garlic Naan 9.8/10 this was the most delicious thing. All naan should be stuffed with cheese - Gobi Pakora 8.2/10 surprisingly pretty fire. I would absolutely never think to get this - Born Of Fire 7/10 pretty good. Idk what the shaved black stuff is or what any of these ingredients are

This place serves some of the most authentic Indian food ever. Don't miss the chaat - it's sooo good and and pav bhaji is even yummier. Nice service and ambience.

This is one of my favorite Indian restaurants. The menu is fun, flavorful and has something for everyone. The decor is fun and a fresh, hip snapshot of the beautiful culture it represents. It's a hidden gem I highly recommend. The service team is friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming.

We sat at the bar for dinner to celebrate New Year's Eve and Ryan and Caleb went above and beyond to make it a great night! Ryan gave food recommendations which were perfect. Caleb and Ryan felt like old friends! So friendly! Great food, great drinks and most of all great conversation! There is nothing better than a staff that takes pride in making the customers feel comfortable, welcome and well cared for! The food is amazing as is the service. Highly recommend!! Big shout out to the staff and chefs!

Got here purely by luck on our way back from Maine! Amazing food for the price-- the serving size for the entrees was insane! The service was amazing as well. Everything was great may be except the dosa we got. Def def would come back just for this.

Service was great Menu lied LOL the butter chicken said chicken thigh so we expected juicy but it was a mix of chicken BREAST and thigh, so wasn't all juicy (some dry bits). The mango lassi was really good Skip the chai tea The butter garlic naan order more! So good!

This was my first time going to an Indian restaurant. We sat at the bar and were immediately waited on by the bar tender. I was looking for the mildest spice dinner as I was so nervous that I would not enjoy it because it would be too spicy for me. The bartender immediately sent over Caleb the manager. Caleb was incredible. He knew every dish and every level of spice and made some recommendations that were perfect Thank you Caleb and thank you to the new bartender who made us amazing drinks. We had a great time and we will definitely be back.

Was excited to try something new when we stumbled upon this gem just off the Shops at Yale during the Flights of Fancy event. My friend and I each ordered cocktails. The Painted Dove was recommended by our waitress and didn't disappoint. We also tried the Victory Parade which was tasty and unique. My friend and I shared a Dum Biriyani which was delicious with goat meat! I'm not a big fan of Indian food, but my companion was and she said she will definitely be back! My only complaint was that the waitress forgot to give us credit for the free drink coupons we had given to her upon ordering so we needed to ask for the bill to be adjusted.

I wanted to thank you for Sherkaan being consistently amazing!! Had to order lunch at the last minute (long d--n story) and boom 25 minutes later they literally saved the day. Showed up and the food was ready when the site said it would be. I am so grateful.

This was our first visit to Sherkaan and I loved the vibe when we walked in. Additionally, the food was delicious and servings were plenty to share. We'll definitely be back for more.
