Amazing food and even better service!!! We were seated quick and the staff were super attentive and friendly! Highly recommend the chicken briyani and naan with mango chutney. Would def come back :))
Yesterday I was happy I could smell, eating at Mughlai Grill Indian Cuisine. The medley of aromas is exquisite, matched only by the food. I got vegetable pakora, daal saag, and mango lassi. The person I went with got chicken samosas, chicken tikka masala, and naan. There was also rice and peas served with our meal. I enjoyed every morsel (even tried hers) and only wish I'd had room for dessert. The decor was also beautiful. They even dressed up the bathroom (which I didn't take my phone to so didn't get a picture of that). I do a big recommend here.
Delicious food!!!! We had a great time here! The service was impeccable and the food very flavorful and delicious. The chef has over 40 years of experience with tandoor chicken. Everything was so flavorful and delicious. The mango chutney I ate by itself with a spoon because it was perfect. The seating is a little tight so it might be better to just go with a small group, a date or just by yourself. Will definitely be back!
Best in the neighborhood, no contest. Delivery is fast and the quality is on par with eat in, but it’s the atmosphere in the restaurant that makes this place a staple for me. I was told with stern affection to eat in more often, and I will. The staff and particularly the manager are all amazing. Even when I just come to place a to-go order they sit me down and offer water and maybe a snack. Will always give personal recommendations and tell you about what you’re eating. The restaurant is run with pride, and for good reason. Food, service, and atmosphere are always top notch. Always packed on evenings, but attention is paid to every guest and repeat customers are remembered.
4.5 rounded up. First time impression: the wall of smell that hit us when walking into the place was amazing, it smelled like an Indian kitchen. Maybe some won’t like that, but you can smell the intensity of spices. Waiter was friendly & asked if we been to the restaurant before and gave us some tips.She noted that the tandoori chef was a 3rd/4th generation tandoori chef so we settled on Mixed Tandoori Grill. We asked & she recommended Kerala Pepper Chicken, her favorite. The complimentary Papadam was slightly stale (not crunchy) and was happily changed out by the waiter to freshly made ones. It was accompanied by tamarind chutney and cilantro chutney. Our Mixed Tandoori Grill came out piled high on a sizzling plate, creating a lot of steam and giving off an incredible aroma. There was 2 pcs boned chicken (brown meat), 2-4 pcs chicken kebabs, 2 jumbo shrimp, 2 pcs large chunks of lamb kebab, and 2 chicken sheesh kebab (?) etc.; they included some tandoori marinade, which amped the flavor. It was *the best* tandoori we had in a really long time. We got it spicy and it was just perfect, bordering on too much. The Kerala Pepper Chicken was also very good, with a rich thick gravy; the chicken chunks were moist and the portion was generous. The naan was light and perfectly chewy. The waiter asked if we wanted mango chutney and I agreed, not realizing it was an upsell; it was just ok, with an insufficient amount of spices; we took 80% home. The small bowl of raita, which I did not order but paid for, was thick and had the perfect amount of cucumber and spice mix; we normally don’t need this for the spice levels and we ate 20%. We were offered a complimentary mughlai special kheer because we told her , when we first sat down that it was our first time there. The service was mostly fine; the busboy kept our water glasses filled; the waiter answered questions and was attentive until it got busy. Regardless of the smal bumps in the road, we are looking forward to returning. 8/24
This is the tastiest Indian Food in the Lower East Side/East Village area . I've tried a lot of other places in the neighborhood and this is the best. The place is very chill inside and the manager greets you. They are very friendly and attentive to the customers. We started with the Jhinga Balchoo shrimp with a zesty sauce and the Vegetable Pakoras which were very hot and fresh ( I asked for salt though.) Next time I would try the Samosas. For main course my friend got the Kashmiri Chicken Korma which he said is one of the best chicken dishes he's EVER had ,anywhere. I had the delicious Shahi Mutter Paneer ,which is peas and cheese. Wow, this even smelled good when it came to the table. Fantastic. Rice was fragrant and good. Fresh Naan was awesome too. For drinks I got the Portuguese white wine which was like $9 and very nice. My friend had Taj beer (after being talked out of the Stella by the manager but Taj was good beer.) I have to say how friendly and cool the staff is . They even gave us free dessert because it was our first time. Homemade rice pudding was the better dessert. Please come here and have dinner, it was delicious and very fair prices for the area. Recommended.
The best Indian food! Ordered the Chicken Xacutti and lamb chop per the waitress's recommendation and they were a great combo. Chicken Xacutti has this sweetness to it as it is cooked with coconut, which compliments the spiciness of the lamb chop (comes out on a cast iron pan). They also give you a generous portion of rice and a free small dessert (rice pudding) at the end.
