Absolute Gazab food! Random walk-in with family on a Sat night, thanks to rejections from Dhamaka and Bungalow. And aren't we glad that happened! Best thing about food; you don't have to be a celebrity chef to deliver bold flavors, something that was an absolute hit on their non-vegetarian taste plates. The Kori Sukka ($18) was a hit, and so was the Pani Puri ($13). Gobi Manchurian ($15) could've used a bit more spice, just as the Tandoori Pomfret ($22). Mushroom Panner Biryani ($24) while not spicy, was very tasty, and so was the Chicken Dum Biryani ($26). Rajasthani Lal Maas ($26) was packed with flavor, just as the Dal Bukhara ($20) with it simply rich flavors. You should not miss the Gulab Jamun Creme Brulee ($11). Shout out to Anveer, our server, and specific mention of Chef Vamshi, who manages to challenge the celebrity chefs in the area with traditional classics, presented in an effective manner with plenty of flavor!

My first time at Gazab and I loved it. It’s the Ondian food version of Soothr. Fun, hip, casual and delicious. We ate the bok choy chaat which tasted like a samosa chaat. So many excellent flavors. The whole fish was such a fresh, large entree. The onions and chutney mixed beautifully with the fish. The cauliflower was a 10/10. The lemon chicken was saucy, tender and I really enjoyed it. It was probably our least exciting dish but still tasty.

One of my favorite Indian restaurant in NYC. The venue is a bit small, but the food is really good. Get the Pomfret Fish dish if you can.

This place is the best Indian restaurant in New York City! That's right, you heard me correctly! Gazab offers the finest Indian cuisine in Manhattan's Lower East Side, featuring refined versions of Indian staples, sharing plates, and a wide range of vegan options. I love Pani Puri, Shrimp Ghee Roast, Chipotle Chicken Tikka, and Whole Tandoori Pomfret. All appetizers we tried were so yummy. Ummm I can’t stop eating hahahaha For the main course, I love Kasauli Lemon Chicken, fall-off-the-bone Parsi Lamb Shank, and savory Kerala Shrimp Moilee. O can tell you that the quality and variety of dishes already blow me away! I enjoyed every bite. The service was so nice and kind.

Outstanding food, service, quality, truly one of the best Indian restaurants in the world. Lemon chicken, tikka masala, pain puri, Biriyani, mango lassi, gobi Manchurian, all are top notch. I will gladly spend my time and money here everyday of the week if I could .

Yum! Yum! Yum! Unlike any indian restaurant i’ve ever been to. It took me places no one has ever taken me before. I ordered this coconut shrimp dish that I still think about from time to time. The atmosphere was incredible you could tell everyone around us was enjoying the food as much as we were. Here’s to many more meals shared at Gazab πŸ₯‚

one of my favorite Indian restaurants in this city and that's saying a lot! I'd recommend the paneer appetizer, it comes on skewers and is well spiced for entree I love the jackfruit kadhi pakora as it's such a unique dish to this restaurant. everything about the dish is very flavorful. I would also recommend the black daal. so buttery and creamy it just melts in your mouth. the atmosphere is very small and cozy, I feel that it would be very hard to host a larger group at this location unfortunately but a group of 6 is well accommodated
