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.

Great way to end a NYC trip. The food was outstanding and the service just as well. Nice selection of various Indian Chinese Bengali cuisine and we topped it off with mango ice cream and mini donut crem brûlée. Highly recommend and will definitely return if we are back in NYC.

This is not your mother's Indian food. If is very inventive using Indian flavors and ingredients to create unique dishes. Definitely opt for the four-course menu. The staff is very good at describing the dishes to come up with choices the will suite induvial diners. Service was excellent with the staff seeming to enjoy and take great pride in their job.

We went here because I wanted Jain food (I am allergic to garlic and Jain has no garlic). Anyway we were so pleasantly surprised by the lovely room in the back, great service and delicious food. There were four of us and we ordered about 6 different things (Appetizers, Naan, 3 mains) and it was all quite good. My friends eat Indian a lot- and they both said it was excellent.
