Food and ambiance was great! Unfortunately, the service was too slow. We weren’t asked for water and provided menu until 10mins after our seat. Also, we had to call the waiter to give our order and the food came in too late as well. No doubt the food was delicious, but service messed up the experience.

Excellent service. Very good food. Excellent ambience. Reasonable price. Utsav is, in my opinion, the best Indian restaurant in New York.

Delicious food. Service was good and quite timely. Room is a nice size and pleasant. Dal was flavorful, lamb Rogan josh was very tender, basmati rice with peas and garlic naan completed our meal nicely. Will return. A secret in the theater district that should be well known.

We had a fantastic dinner at Utsav Restaurant on a busy Friday night. The place was packed, but thanks to our reservation on OpenTable, we were seated promptly. The Indo-Chinese dishes were outstanding—Gobi Manchurian was perfectly crispy, the Fried Rice was flavorful, and the Hot and Sour Soup was just right. The ambience was cozy and modern, making the evening even more enjoyable. The staff were attentive despite the crowd, ensuring we had everything we needed. Highly recommend Utsav for both the food and the seamless dining experience!

Utsav NYC truly stands out as a gem amidst the hustle and bustle of Times Square. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and impeccable hospitality. The staff, always attentive and friendly, made the dining experience feel both personal and luxurious. The food? Absolutely divine! I started with the Gobi Manchurian, which was perfectly crispy and bursting with flavor. The Paneer Kulcha was a delight, with soft, melt-in-your-mouth paneer tucked inside fluffy, warm bread. The Saag Paneer was rich and creamy, striking the perfect balance of spices. To top it all off, the Moong Dal Halwa was a heavenly dessert that left me craving more. The restaurant itself is spotless, exuding an air of fine dining with its elegant decor and well-maintained space. The ambiance is perfect for a relaxed meal, whether you're in for a quick bite or a leisurely dinner. And with its prime location in Times Square, Utsav is incredibly accessible, making it a perfect stop for anyone in the area. Highly recommend for anyone looking to indulge in authentic Indian cuisine with a side of exceptional service! <3

The service was top notch. They took really good care of us. The food was good and it came out quicker than many Indian restaurants. I love that they also offer Chinese food!! Downstairs bar area had a great ambiance. Plus a little outdoor dining area for anyone who can tolerate the people smoking outside. Oh! And most importantly a four minute walk to the theaters.

Just okay. My family of four went to Utsav for a pre theatre dinner. It wasn’t busy, but food took much longer than expected and we had to rush to make the show. Positives: Food quality and ambience. Everyone loved the lamb. Negatives: Small portions and inattentive service. We had to carefully portion out the lamb and chicken to make sure everyone got a few bites of each. Our waiter disappeared and had to request for water refills twice. Bottom line: Better options and value elsewhere in the theater district.
