It was an authentic Italian experience! 5 of us split the calamari, caesar salad, ravioli, gnocchi and spaghetti. Anything with the tomato sauce was my favorite but the gnocchi was the table favorite! Each dish was fresh and so flavorful! Service was incredible. I asked for a nice Chianti and they chose one that was perfect. I look forward to going back next time I am in NYC!

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.
