We'd just celebrated a birthday last week at Modern Love, but decided to come back for Taco Tuesday this week after seeing an IG post about the specials. The Hot Honee mushroom tacos and the Elote did NOT disappoint! Agave tequila margarita was delicious too (we tried the jalapeno one). Was also fun to see (and eat) the Crunch Wrap back on the menu. Hoping to successfully lobby ML to keep tacos on the menu for a while :)

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.

The restaurant is a smaller space, but the food was very delicious with many options to taste everything Indian. The service was great and the dinner was much more affordable than I expected. Best to order several dishes for sharing.

We had a great time at Sammy’s Fish Box, We Usually like the Other Sammy’s (Shrimp Box) but it was Closed for Reservations. So we went to the More Lively spot across the street and it was Well worth it, We had Andrew as a server and he was good and got all our orders Correct! When he wasn’t sure of an answer about one of the orders he came back to ask. We were also greeted by the Manager Lauren who came by to see how our birthday celebration was going. The Food Was Great and very Tasty! Lobster, Shrimp, Salmon and Burgers were all very GOOD!
