Veeray da Dhaba

A nice place in Manhattan to have some good Indian Food. Loved the Biryani , it was a bit different from what I am used to (probably because of the added rose water),but liked it all the same and it was quite flavourful and tasty especially with the raita. The achari chicken tikka was great as well ,so was the garlic naan. Bhel puri was tasty ,but the quantity could have been more . (Nice presentation though) Disappointed that they did not have gazar ka halwa when I went :') ,but the delicious gulab jamun made up for it. Overall it was a nice experience,and for someone wanting to try out good North Indian food in Manhattan this would be a good choice. The staff were very polite and helpful as well ,and the service was quite swift I'd definitely recommend this restaurant.

The Butter Chicken!!!!!!!! 10/10 Service was great, the yellow lentils were amazing and warm. Butter Nan is made to perfection and overall a great atmosphere to enjoy authentic Punjabi Cuisine

Delicious food and excellent service makes this place worth visiting. Food tastes authentic and good quality ingredients. Highly recommended!

My friend brought me here for dinner and let me just start off by saying this is by far one of the best Indian restaurants I’ve been to in NYC. It’s pretty small, but it’s cozy. The staff are very friendly and attentive to your needs. We ordered a couple of main things: the Samosa Chaat, Butter Chicken (mildly spicy), Paneer Makhani, Lentil, 2 Butter Naans, and Basmati rice. Everything was absolutely delicious. I would definitely come back here again whenever I’m craving Indian food, and I definitely recommend stopping by, especially if you’re in the area.

Shivam was an outstanding host. Food was amazing, they have the best authentic Dhaba Dal Makhani hands on in NYC. Authentic Dhaba style, delicious and affordable food. Loved the place overall, good ambiance, high recommend it and looking forward to going back again soon.

We had a fantastic experience at Veeray da Dhaba. It was a Sunday night walk-in for the five of us, and we were lucky enough to be seated right away by Shivam. We got straight to ordering our food from their very reasonably priced menu, which included appetizers Achari Paneer ($10), Samosa Chaat ($9), and Achari Chicken Tikka ($10). Our mains included Goat Biryani ($20) and an extremely delicious Jackfruit Biryani ($17) - an absolute treat for Vegetarians or prior meat eaters who turned Vegetarians like me. The Dhaba Dal ($16) was delicious and was thoroughly enjoyed by our little one. Specific shoutout to Sanjeeda who was very friendly, accommodating and interacted with our little one and made it a pleasant experience for all of us. Also to our host Shivam for being kind enough to waive off our corkage fee!

Small hidden gem in this area, this spot is a wonderful concentrate of kindness and tastefulness. In a month I kept coming back, trying a lot of chickens with great pleasure. The last time I ate there, a week ago, a couple of Indians from Mumbay were there eating by chance too, for the first time, and they confirmed the quality of the food, I've experimented all the times. Very suggested! Chicken Korma, my best choice (my Karma). Just writing about it make me miss. Very curious to try the new concept restaurant that will open soon 45th St and 3rrd Av, as I learned from rhe kind and smiling staff. It has been 30 years I travel to New York. There's always the possibility to discover new magic places to eat. This is surely one of them! I realized that I didn't take many photos of the dishes (too commited to eat). A reason to come back soon. Warm memory of the experience. Thanks.
