    Excellent as always. They moved from 2nd Avenue to York Avenue (bigger and nicer location) and glad to see people have found them.

    A true enjoyment from the timing we walked in from a friendly greeting, patient and explanatory guidance on the differences of dishes on the menu of which all that we ordered both unique and excellent. A true dining experience.

    Food was fair, neither especially good nor bad. Service was very bad, so much so that I had to go to the manager to get a check when we were through. And we saw people waiting a long time for food to be served. We probably won't return.

    Delightfully surprised. Has a good rating on several sites and looks are deceiving. The restaurant is small and simple/plain - which is not a bad thing. The service was prompt, the food delicious and we were very well looked after.

    Food is excellent -- however, the restaurant has nothing to absorb sound and so the noise level can be uncomfortable. Do not expect any atmosphere.

    The Tikka mixed grill was great. The curries were too sweet even when we asked for spicy (there was actually a good spicy level, but there was a tone of sugar too)

    We are happy to have found a really good Indian restaurant in our Upper East Side neighborhood. The staff was friendly and the service was also very good. They also do take out. We noticed Indian people among the clientele, which is obviously a good sign!

    The food is very good but the service needs an upgrade-they didn’t offer a greeting, a smile, suggestions or advice. As an example when we wanted something to go with the chicken we asked for yogurt-a common complement to the dish. The waiter responded with ok, and said something that was on the menu that I didn’t know. I had to ask twice to get him to explain that it was yogurt mixed with cucumbers and carrots. It was delicious. They didn’t refill our empty water glasses and we were having very spicy food! Petty, yes, but it’s the difference for me between a great neighborhood restaurant having great food and a neighborhood restaurant.

    When we first arrived at 7pm there were no other customers in the restaurant, which worried us a bit, but the room filled up soon. The service was friendly, attentive, and kind. All the dishes we ordered were very good, fresh-tasting and well-prepared—the samosas were especially delicious, crispy and thin, and not at all greasy. Good prices on decent wines by the bottle, too. Throughout our meal, the appealing aromas of Indian spices wafted into the dining area from the kitchen, which were quite enticing and added to the ambiance. Would definitely dine here again.

    My friend and I arrived 10 minutes early to our reservation and waited until our reservation time, which was fair. It took about 7 minutes for anyone to come to our table, and when our server did come, he did not give us any type of greeting, but only asked us what we wanted to order. We first ordered 2 glasses of wine, 2 entrees and 2 orders of naan. We received our wine 30 minutes after ordering, only after we flagged someone down to remind them, and then our food 10 minutes after that. We could tell it was starting to get busy, but what we noticed most is that a lot of action was coming from constant carry out orders (which is great). The food was great, we ordered the lamb vindaloo and chicken tikka masala. The portions were good, and we would definitely come back for the food, but would probably order carry out like everyone else.

    I think the dish I ordered that I THOUGHT was vegan had cream it in when it should not have (I should have clarified with the waiter, but this is not a dish that typically has cream). Server was pushy to give us naan (which was not free) and food took a long time even though we were the only ones in the restaurant.

    This is a charming neighborhood Indian restaurant, very small, maybe 12 tables. The staff is friendly and unpretentious. The food is excellent. We go there often. If it's cold ask for a table away from the door. They also do take-out and will deliver.

    Ordered two chicken dishes along with rice and bread. The chicken in both dishes was completely over cooked. In the butter chicken it was like pre cut, pre cooked chucks thrown in. We would have sent the food back but no one checked on us and we couldn't get the waiters attention till the end of a half eaten meal. We did advise the person who gave us the bill but she seemed not concerned in the slightest. There will not be a repeat visit... most disappointing.

    I really liked the food. I had samosas, the lamb palak, the lemon rice and a taste of my friend's chicken tiki masala. The samosas were ok (didn't have peas) and the sauces were good. I've had more flavorful samosas so I was slightly disappointed but it wasn't fatal. My favorite was the lamb palak. The meat was pretty tender and I love spinach on anything so it was a hit with me. The lemon rice was different and I loved it. My friend's chicken tiki masala was a bit disappointing. The meat was slightly over cooked and the sauce was runny. I liked the taste but she said it was a little bland. I'm not very experienced with Indian food but I liked Om and will probably be back to try something new.
