    Utsav is our go to Indian place. With wide variety on the menu, we always get a chance to try something new and the taste doesn’t disappoint us. Good food at great value in NYC!

    Excellent food. Love the addition of Bengali dishes, only restaurant in Manhattan with this. Food is authentic and well spiced, not watered down for a Western palate nor over-spicy to hide the poor quality of meats (which is the case with some trendy, popular Indian restaurants). Came with someone who has not eaten much Indian food - loved it and wants to come back next time to this restaurant only!

    We came back here after having an amazing time our previous visit. Our server, Naseem remembered us and seated us right away. The food was as delicious as our last visit. Love the Tandoori options! The service was impeccable. The ambiance of the restaurant was very pleasing. Can’t recommend it enough!

    For the price you paid it was expensive - Indian food is never this expensive! It was also quite spicy - but the food was good and hit the spot amongst all the Italian restaurants in the square.

    The food was very good and the ambiance was good as well. However, our food took over an hour and a half to come out of the kitchen after our small appetizers were served and only after we spoke to the manager did our food come out. We had previously told them to bring out what was ready as soon as it was ready and not to wait on everything, to no avail. The portions are small and the prices are high. Be careful with the bill. We had only five people in our party and a 20% tip was added to the bill automatically and then there was a space to add an additional tip.

    Went back to my favorite Utsav, with out-of-town friends who had never been. Utsav has now become their favorite too!! We had a mix of Indian and Indo-Chinese and just loved every single item that we ordered. AMAZiNG and authentic flavors along with new creative dishes. Great cocktails and service too! The restaurant seemed full, and ambience was wonderful ….a lovely surprise considering it was a Monday night. Going back for more soon! R.S.

    The food is mediocre, but that’s to everyones preference, I have eaten in lots of Indian restaurants which I feel are much better. There are not enough waiters so it’s hard trying to get their attention. The service is awful and very slow we waited ages for our food to arrive. They put the gratuity onto the bill already so you are not allowed to tip how much you would wish to tip. I certainly would not have tipped the amount I paid! Overall a basic Indian restaurant noting special.

    Although the restaurant was very busy, the service and food was incredible. We will be returning soon and will be recommending to all of our friends. We ate the tandoori shrimp and garlic naan to start and we were shocked by how quickly the food came out. Our server went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of by refilling our waters and beverages.

    Ambience: This place definitely needs a renovation. Visibly old and dusty decor, and dull lighting. Music selection is poor. Food: Acceptable. Value for money is poor. Service: Very poor. Very slow. Very rude. Over that gratuity is included by default in the check. Conclusion: For a place located on 47th St just off 6th Ave, not worth visiting at all.

    Utsav has gone way down since the pandemic. Service is spotty (although they add 20% gratuity on all parties and don’t bother to mark that on your CC receipt!), food is now just base Indian (they charge you for rice!!!) and the prices have increased 20% from a year ago. We’ve been coming here for 10 years and this our last time. There’s no value here except the location to theatre district, but that’s certainly not enough to come back.

He made the night extra special by making us feel like valuable guests. The entire staff was very nice from the host stand to our table, we were treated really well. I will definitely go back again!

    Best Indian I've had in a long time, perhaps the best ever. Everything was perfectly prepared, the meats were so tender, and the flavors all aromatic and well-balanced. Even the cocktails were a hit. Was a perfect pre-theater dinner. Will definitely return.

    This is such a great restaurant! The Indo Chinese was delicious. We tried hakka noodles, chilly prawn, chicken lollipop and chilly prawn. The Bengali food took me to Calcutta. The mutton chop and the chicken rezala were my favorites. The gulab- jamun creme brulee’ gave the happy ending to this awesome meal!

    great food, and a great option due to location for pre-theatre dining. however, when crowded, frustratingly noisy, making having a conversation rather difficult, having to shot across the table to hear/be heard. that said, i do definitely recommend it for the food.

    The food was good however the service was bad, we had ordered a take out for a member of our party was laid up in a hotel room, we ordered the take close us finishing our meal after 15mins I enquired status of our order and was told 1min, that passed and no food once again I enquired and was told 1min now I had waited 30mins, 1min passed and no food once again enquired and again 1min now we had waited 45mins. The waiter was very apologetic the manager was aware of the delay but never once did he stop by finally the food arrived 50mins later I asked the waiter that since I waited for so long I should not pay for it he approached the manager who refused the request and disappeared so I could not talk to him. On top of that for 4 people he put on a service charge. I would not recommend Utsav to my friends and family. Extremely disappointed with the service and attitude of the manager.

    We are sorry you were unhappy with the service provided at Utsav. You ordered a take out of one naan & one order of the kurkuri bhindi We were in fact sold out of the bhindi (okra) but rushed to have our chef in the midst of a busy dinner service cut & prepare the fresh okra especially for you. We were happy to do this for our customer rather than tell you it was an unavailable item for the evening This is why the delay in your order.
