    When asked for a recommendation for mild spicy food, the choices were limited. There were only a few pieces of chicken and a small dish of spinach with chick peas for the lunch special. Luckily, the pita bread was plentiful. I do not think this small lunch special was worth what I paid. It was a disappointment.

    The food and service at Utsav is excellent. They have a nice combination of some classic Indian dishes (served in the US), as well as many less common, and delicious selections. The tandoori broccoli is to die for and the Chicken Chettinaad is my new favorite dish.

    Had to continually ask to have the music turned down and at one point it sounded like it was coming from a radio station with intermittent talking which was annoying and not in keeping with the feel of the restaurant. The food as ever was very good and there were plenty of staff on hand constantly checking on us. It is one of our favorite Indian establishments and hopefully the music will be softer the next time we visit.

    Great Indian Food in Midtown. Food was tasty, and our waiter made suggestions that met our expectations. Decor is OK, nothing fancy and it seems like a place where many families go for this type of food.

    Apart from the waiting time this place is definitely worth a visit. The food was simply amazing. I had the schezwan chicken fried rice and paneer chili. Simply mind blowing. If you are super hungry be patient cause it will take 30-45 mins to get your food.

    I’m reading Covenant of Water and had a craving for warmly spiced Indian food. Utsav was excellent. I had sea bass in a coconut based sauce and the flavors were wonderful. The staff was attentive and I got to the theater with time to spare.

    the food and service continue delicious but the same problems persist the ladies' room is in even more disgusting condition than befaore - toilet seats missing, stalls locked, dirty ....we keep on complaining and they say they will let the owner know but nothing improves the decor has become more "high class" diner - they have put up a wall and divided the room into two - no charm whatsoever - utitliatrian tables and chairs - the only saving grace is the windows to the side overlooking the passageway between 47 and 47 it used to be so beautiful and atmospheric with the billowy white curtains - transported you to India - now it transports to you a more claustrophobic diner like setting

    Utsav has been my fav destination for last couple of years. This time I was led down. We had our dinner yesterday. The quality of Dal Makhni was really bad. It was just full of cream. Additionally, the servers were in a rush to clean the table. They didn’t even bother to ask. Regards

    The food was good. The waiter did say 2 of the items were not spicy (paneer butter masala and chicken lollipop). However they were very spicy. He suggested they were good for kids - quite the opposite! We had to buy fast food for our kids when we left. Despite all of this, the food was very good and quality was excellent. The portions were good too. Price was fair.
