About the restaurant

Bhatti Indian Grill is an ultra-authentic north Indian restaurant in the heart of NYC that’s refined yet affordable, upscale and modern. Bhatti opened its doors in 2009 to much fan fare and accolades for the authenticity it brought to indian cuisine.

One of the city’s preeminent Indian chefs and restaurateurs, Gaurav Anand of Awadh and Moti Mahal Delux has completely revamped and renovated Bhatti just in time to celebrate its 10th anniversary this year. Perennially packed and attracting celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence and Food Network’s Duff Goldman, Bhatti became a popular dining destination due to its delicious, boldly-flavored food, especially kebabs. For its 10th anniversary, Gaurav wanted the restaurant that set him on a successful restaurant career to get a sexier new look, more elevated menu and an adventurous beverage program including an all natural wine list, befitting the next decade.

Love that it was completely gluten free so no worries for me! Wait staff was attentive and did a great job. My only issue is price. Very expensive. Is it worth it to not have to worry about gluten? Maybe once a year, but too expensive for consistent visits.

Fantastic dining experience! Our server, Mahalaya (I might have the spelling wrong, sorry!), was exceptional! Very patient with our table of one elderly man with hearing difficulties, two foreign guests who speak minimal English, and me (an exhausted millennial). She went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed, and she truly made us feel welcomed! Honestly, every staff member we encountered was wonderful. It was clear that they loved working at Friedman's, and it showed! We ordered the Salmon meal, the Asian Salmon Salad, two BLAT's and I also ordered a Margarita. All were delicious! I highly recommend the Salmon meal!

Best Indian restaurant we tried in NYC and one of the best in the US. We’re from Mumbai and this restaurant is as close to authentic as it gets.
