Outstanding food, good service, clean fancy restaurant and very peaceful relaxing environment.

Good food. Small portions. Not so good service. Not worth the value.This is close to time square and worth visiting for good food. But as fine dining it pretends to be, service is not so great. Food wait time is on high side (we waited for ~20 mins for food) but food is worth the wait. Portions were small. Bar is average as well. You can have better fun times in irish bar across the street.Only thing good here is afternoon buffet which is reasonable and good variety. One can skip this place for dinner.

Had a wonderful time at this restaurant! Lovely flavors and decent atmosphere. Our server was very friendly and helpful.I wish they had more options for dessert but the gajjar ka halwa was incredible!Highly reccomend the paneer bhurji, hakka noodles, and chilli chicken.

I hosted a dinner party in their private room upstairs and had a great experience. The room is beautifully done with great views of midtown. Service and food were excellent. The space was perfect for our group of 22 people. Would highly recommend them for top notch Indian food!

It was a great place! Lovely authentic Indian cuisine which brought me back memories! A MUST-VISIT place in NYC for food and service was excellent.Will definitely come back for more!

The food was amazing! The only this missing were cocktails, but our waiter made exact drinks we wanted. Our waiter Aldi made our first time experience at this restaurant a great one. Offered us suggestions on and off the menu. Definitely be visiting again.

Great friendly staff!Amazing drinks!One of the best Indian restaurants I’ve ever eaten at I’m definitely coming back!Clean place good ambiance!Chris is awesome! He served me drinks at the bar.He has a great personality super cool and funny!

The atmosphere, food, drinks was amazing we had a great time they enjoyed having us so much they want us to come back.. my cousin came for her bday along with her best friend from Boston and enjoyed everything

Best place in Time SquareReally amazing food🤤Must try😄

This is certainly one of the best restaurants I have ever eaten at. The food had subtle, complex flavors and did not rely on overwhelming the palate with spiciness. There is a variety of selections for vegetarians. The staff was friendly and professional. They also enforced COVID-19 protocols.

Upscale Indian restaurant in Midtown with good food and pleasant service. It feels a little corporate, but fitting for the location. I wouldn’t go out of my way to dine here, but it was enjoyable nonetheless.

Worst customer service. Food is okay and very expensive. Staffs are very rude.

Good rest if you are looking for Indian food in NY with lots of varieties including veg options. Prices are little higher compare to food quantity but if you are ready to spend then this is good place to visit

What can I say about this place. My first time trying an Indian cuisine and it was amazing. Kevin our waiter, recommended some dishes for us to try so we can get a taste of all the dishes and flavors. We ordered buttered chicken, paneer masala and lamb. Everything came out so good. Definitely a must try and definitely going back again!

Good foodMust try paneer butter masala

From walking in the door, to food, to the customer service; everything was five star.We were looking at the place and even though they were not open yet, an employee offered to let us in and seat us. It felt like a family owned restaurant invited us to sit at the table with them the whole dinner experience.The food was incredibly delicious, and we would recommend it to anyone looking to have a great evening with friends at a restaurant in NYC. If you have to get on a waitlist, it is worth it. 👍

Very bad experience.. one of the veg dishes had stone in it which actually chewed on. When pointed out multiple times to the team, including the restaurant manager, there was literally no action. Not even the basic courtesy to replace the dish in which stone was found. Had to wait for 15 minutes to get 2 rotis and spoons were not provided after reminding them 4 times. Food was good but portion size was small. Wouldnt recommend.

Great food and service! Should definitely try the Chicken Zaffrani and Fish Malabari. They have a good selection of Indian beers if youre nostalgic

This was the first restaurant we went to in Manhattan and it was amazing. We came all the way from Cape Cod MA and the food did not disappoint. We will definitely come back when we visit again! - Sona and Rohit Patel

Very nice Restaurant, The decor was nice and luxurious and the staff was friendly. The food was also delicious and I would recommend getting there mango lassi. 10/10 would come here again - Sona from Cape Cod

Great food and service, Robin was very kind and attentive!Highly recommended!

Food was okay, nothing out of the world. Also, they say they close at 9.30 pm by which they mean the whole restaurant closes 9.30, you will be pushed out if you didn’t complete your food on time.We reached around 8.20, and we were told we need to order fast as they are closing 9.30. Stewards were rushing too much. I would never go there again.

The food is good standard fare for decent prices. The head waiter is positively gruff. The others were friendly but frazzled.

Nice ambience and delicious food. Staff were attentive and friendly. Prices seem ok for NY. Weve had nice time and kids enjoyed the dinner.Though not ordered liquor, menu appeared decent for the selection.

Truly a wonderful dinner. We ordered and shared two appetizers, and both were delicious. One was a puffed rice and mango cake that you scooped and had a wonderful blend of a savory and sweet. We had the bhindi masala and a dal made from blacl lentils that were cooked overnight. Both were seasoned perfectly. Nothing was overly spicy (as in hot with chilis) but the flavors were perfect. Will definitely return!

This place is really amazing for Indian cusine, their service, ambience is really good. There are variety of dishes and the food quality is really worthful. Must visit place with family and friends. Both veg and non veg is really tasty.

Excellent taste of food - authentic Indian. Though service was very slow.

It’s a decent restaurant. Ambience is good and the location is good . Quality of the food is above average and the below average quantity makes it a average place to go.

Chicken was super salty. Service was just ok, water wasntt refilled regularly. Probably wont be back again.

Old lady manager was very rude even though I had reservation she rudely told me to get out from dining room and stand in the queue and there was no person from the staff to attend people outside. Also she entertained other customers who didn’t have reservation. She was really disrespectful

Great lunch menu. Had the tikka masala, basmati rice, and a lamb curry. Delicious!!!!

Good was good but too costly. Not worth the cost. Just ordered 3 items chicken tikis masala and dal makhani with 1 roti but ended up paying 70$

One of the best paneer masala curry we have had , must have malai kulfi for desert loved the faluda and chia combination 👍🏻👍🏻 Would definitely recommend

The place is good with decent options to pick from appetizers to entrees. Other than the wait time on weekends and peek hours (7-9 PM) everything is good about the place.They do have exquisite dinning place for get together and private events. Consider having a buffer time of 2 hours if youre visiting here.

Great food , ambience,location and of course Kevin -a friendly, knowledgeable host ,with a good sense of humor,- made the whole evening dinner experience a memorable one. The food was cooked to perfection, and the spice level just right.(not too westernized to lose the original). We went by Kevins advice on the combination, and it was perfect. Will definitely be here again.

Nice food... But overpriced and extremely small portions.-1 star for auto adding gratuity on parties

Lovely ambience, amazing service. Kevin made us feel at home -provided excellent recommendations and surprised us with some very good off the menu cocktails . The food scene close to Times Square is usually not good. This is a rare find. I will highly recommend this place. Bengali fish curry and the saffron shorba soup were amazing. Indo Chinese options very good as well. Must visit when in NYC.

We were just looking for something different around time square and came across Utsav. It did not disappoint. Great food and great service from our waiter Kevin.

Christopher was amazing he was very professional and told us whats good to get he was very helpful the food was amazing

The food was delicious, we took all the classic dishes, and enjoyed the butter chicken and chicken zaafrani which were super creamy and rich in flavor. The restaurant was packed by Indian guests and that says it all...

Good Indian cuisine in their buffet spread. Used to be a few spots for those seeking authentic Indian cuisine in the late 2000s. Well maintained, decent portion size, appropriately priced. Clean and hygienic.. suitable for small gatherings. One of the oldest Indian speciality eateries in midtown Manhattan. Loved it always.

Nice place, cool windows and sofas, oh yeah and the food was kinda pricy lmao. I mean you can find that stuff at trader joes

Slow service but tasty food

Extremely rude staff, absolutely no manners. There were atleast 20 people dining in the restaurant. We barely sat on the sofa and the staff came calling loudly hello hello, closed closed.I asked him to refer to some other restaurant that would be open. Without listening, he spoke very loudly and rudely. Not becoming of hospitality staff. Not becoming of Indian culture of atithi devo bhava.

Great food ! Very friendly staff and amazing service. Very pleasant ambience onspitw of the crowd on Friday night. They have an eye for the little details and make it a point to go one step further than required to make it a pleasant dining experience. One plate of samosas consisted of 3 samosas but since we were two of us at the table, they made it 4 samosas on their own. Such small gestures go a long way !

Went for office dinner with colleagues. The ambience is good and a very nice and huge location near Rockefeller. but very poor service and lot of arrogance. Server was emphasizing a lot on getting Indo - Chinese even though we wanted to eat authentic Indian. Would not recommend to go.

Worst Indian restaurant. The Manager old lady was very rude. I already had a table reservation but the lady denied and asked me to be in queue. The way the lady talked with me was very disrespectful. I dont recommend this place. Wish I can give negative rating.

The customer service was good, they were prompt. Got the food quickly but experience was not that great. The quantity for the price was way too less. Also the food didnt taste that awesome.

Great place for indian food. Good service

Ask for Krish he will give the best service and tell him how you want the food he will take care of it…thanks Krish

Food is good, service is amazing. Many vegetarian options. Nice atmosphere and interesting cocktails selection

$22 lunch buffet is very good. Lots of dishes and good selection. I would have given them 5 stars if the bathroom was cleaner and if some of the dishes had lamb. The mango dessert is very good.. Mix. Of southern and northern curries. A few dishes you dont find at most Indian restaurants. Good for groups and families.

Amazing food! Amazing service by Kevin. People who want to try authentic indian food in United states, this is the place. Jain food is amazing too

Finally tried Utsav as I kept walking past it. It was a Saturday evening and we made reservations. Seating is spacious on 1st floor and has elevator access. We ordered dahi palak kabab, lamb kababs from appetizers, malai kofta and lamb nihari. All were amazing. We got saffron rice and mint laccha paratha to go with it. Excellent preparations.

Tasty, but overcrowdedRestaurant in the heart o NYC consists of two dining rooms on the second floor. Stuff is nice, food is good. But it was overcrowded with families with children. We vere surprised sinve it was a bit too late for small visitors. So it was very noisy. But food was very tasty.

Kevin is very professional. I recommend him to everyone. He had the best customer service skills. Food was very delicious

It’s a nice restaurant, with a few hits and misses. The apps Veg Seekh Kebab and the Butter Chicken Kulcha though something new, was far from impressive. The portions were small plates sized and left is surprised. Also tried the Bhuna Mutton which was really well cooked was the best dish at the table. There was a paneer chilly gravy we tried which was nice and different. The bVeg Biryani though didn’t look the most interesting was really flavourful and a must try.

Good & Tasty food. Reasonable Price.Huge menu. Exceptional service. We need to support this place during this time. 🙏

The best and most authentic Indo-Chinese cuisine I have eaten in the USA! Besides all the standard Indo-Chinese favorites, Utsav also serves the specialties like Chinese Mustard fish and Chilli Garlic Butter prawns!The service was excellent! We were looked after by a fabulous team who made sure we had a wonderful evening!

Meh Indian food. The tandoori rotis are undercooked, the vegetarian choices have muted flavors. The salad was ok, as was the paneer tika. Kheer was delicious. Service is provided without attention or a smile. $22 for this buffet is only possible in Manhattan. Location is convenient for Manhattan, and quite.

Fav place for butter chicken🍗

One of the best Indian restaurant in the Times Square area... Near 6th ave & 47th Street. You must try LAMB SHANK NIHARI!! Its awesome. They have some special Bengali and Chinese items as well...Chris and Kevin were awesome hosts and served us well... They take complete care of their guests..Great location, awesome food, cordial hosts... What else could you ask for...

The food was amazing! Probably some of the best Indian food Ive had in a while.

The Best Indian restaurant in NYC. They added taste to our three day trip in NYC.We went there for the first time on 15th aug 2018 recently ordered the chicken seekh kabab an they were just melting in mouth. They were so yummy and delicious. They even served green chutney same which we get in the hotels of India. Then we ordered biryani dat was also good. We had a grt experience for the first time. We liked it so much dat we went there all the three days of our trip and tried their lunch buffet which was again very mouthwatering. Their samosa..aloo tikki...tandoori chicken...and evrything watever we tasted in those three days were delicious. The price is on a higher side but its worth it. Wenever i llgo to NYC i ll definitely visit it for sure. God bless the owner and the workers for feeding us such delicious food far away from INDIA my motherland. For a moment i thought i was in India while eating all those delicious dishes. UTSAV is really a celebration of food.

Amazing ambience and delicious food in the heart of New York.

The ambience is really nice, the Indian-Chinese food is so good, and the staff goes out of their way to make you feel at home!Kevin and Chris are amazing 😍

The food was nice, but the worst service I’ve ever had. lack of communication between employees. The worst experience in the city. I’ll never go back

Great food! Very friendly staff. Highly recommend

It was my first day at work at the Avenue of the Americas and my colleague recommended this place when I asked if they had any good vegetarian restaurants in the vicinity.The restaurant looked quite modest from the outside and I didn’t try out the buffet at the first level and rather tried the display of buffet for pickup. They had a variety of vegetarian and non vegetarian items and I tried the saffron rice with the Aachari Baigan with Mutter Saag. They offer two out of three to fit the To Go box. They also gave a complimentary Naan to go with. The checkout process was simple and quick and the staff was very kind.The baigan was very good but the mutter saag was out of the world, one of the best tasting mutter saag that I’ve ever had. The quantity was so good that I almost didn’t feel hungry until night. If you are in the 6th Avenue, make sure you try this place!

Food is really tasty . You can order anything food is really goodThe Employees are super cool , Polite and professionalMy experience was Really goodmust try once

Real tasty, and really good.

We went to Utsav tonight for dinner, the service was amazing and the food was even better. They recently reopened for indoor dining and they killed it! Spacious, yummy and great service !! Fan favorite! Would recommend !

I went for dinner after attending a dress rehearsal taping of Weekend News Update Summer Edition. As you walk in, there is a cosy bar with soft lighting. A staircase carries you to a softy-lit foyer with the hostesss desk. Seating was prompt, and within 5 minutes, a waitress was over to take our drink and appetizer orders.I ordered the Jaljeera, which consists of roasted cumin and ginger mixed with sparkling water. It was a tasty, fizzy drink, but might be an acquired taste for others.I ordered the sriracha chili-rubbed cauliflower and scallops on top of a cauliflower puree. The chili cauliflower had just the right amount of bite, with a taste similar to sweet and sour chicken. The scallops were tender and the puree had a strong, spicy flavor derived from the hint of masala seasoning used.For my entree, I ordered the Chicken Zaffrin, which is chicken breast chunks served in an almond-cream talkari (sauce) infused with saffron. It was accompanied with basmati rice and a side-salad. The chicken was very delicious; the flavors and talkari made the dish taste very rich.My guest ordered the Chicken biryani, which was served in a silver pot. It was accompanied by raita and creamed spinach. The biryani was generously-portioned and fairly well-seasoned. However, it lacked any hint of spiciness. The creamed spinach was a winner, with the taste being very rich. My guest said it was as if she was eating mashed potatoes.For desert, I ordered the Malawi Kulfi (a vanilla popsicle of sorts). It was served flan-style, topped with tapioca and a sweet fruit reduction.Overall, the service was fast and no-frills. The ambiance attempted to be laidback, but this was marred by the unruly children dining at the time. The food was delicious. This could make a decent date night spot.

Kevin was fantastic he has excellent customer service and the food is awesome!

Had chilli garlic noodles. Amazing! Loved it!Complete indian taste and ambience.

The food was amazing and they have started with Indo Chinese which was really delish.Services were really good and hygiene were maintained for you to remain safe.

Middle of Manhattan good Indian restaurant. Its big space . Good decor. Good view . And food is really good. Small quantities compare to other restaurants but good taste. Try mango lassi, panjabi sabji and Nan.

1. The ambiance is good. The place is good.2. Issue with finding restaurant. Google maps was misleading.3. The restaurant is in middle of New York by Times Square still i didn’t felt the X factor in food.4. The service was good. But got charged in bill with wrong dish ordered, that even mistakenly described by waiter. The dish we didn’t even ate.5. The food quality is okay. I won’t say it like amazing. The malai kofta was over fried. The rice was cold. If you are tired with trip to nyc and want to sit and eat you might feel better as you are hungry.6. The samosas were also over fried and oily without green chutney. Nothing is complementary here.7. I heard that restaurant in NYC are good. Tried first one and done..

Soft lighting, friendly staff able to move quickly so I could get to the theater on time, and scrumptious chana masala.

Kevin was great at recommendations for menu help. Great customer service

We had a great time at Utsav as it is a great dining experience with good (but not amazing) food. We ordered a quinoa chickpea appetizer which needed more chutney. For the mains, we got a Malai kofta and a mixed vegetables kadai and both of them were good but did not give us that aha moment. The bread variety is great and we got the tokri basket to try out all types of breads, like the naan, kulcha and the laccha. Overall, it is not worth the price paid.

Decent food, good ambience, quick service and traditional Indian food. - would recommend

Excellent Indian Food. Kevin was great at service. Lamb chops masala was perfect. highly recommended...

Could not find a single spot to eat in Time Square, came up on this Indian Restaurant and we were glad the other restaurants were close because this place has the best Indian food and customer service. Hats off to KevinShelly

Its a OK place to try but its very expensive and quality of food is not WOW and variety is limited. I would choose some other Indian restaurants over this one. Its just that this restaurant on 46th avenue and thats all.

Kevin was a great server ! Amazing food as well but Kevin made it better !

Such a beautiful place and food

Great food with little bit of modern touch. I have tried authentic Indian food almost every town in NY. This is one of the best. We ordered Lamb chops...chillie chicken, crispy congee lamb...Mustard fish. Lamb chops were decent size and cooked to perfection. Chillie chicken was so moist and tender with a little bit of spike of spiciness....Great aroma in the Crispy Congee lamb and mustard fish is a blast.No matter how good the food is, if you dont get the right host.Our Host Kevin is the great example for that. He is very knowledgeable about the menu items and have a great sense of humor.Even the prices are very decent and the service. I will definitely go back .

The food tastes really good and the ambience is nice but the only negative I can point out is the quantity of the food served is really less.

Average Indian and High Prices and slow service. Their heart isnt in it. Food was over spiced, service was painfully slow and it was a tad expensive. Decor was drab and you just get the feeling they dont care so much.

The food and service was excellent, kevin and Chris was wonderful☺️☺️☺️.But will be missing Denis on the floor and in the bar too😌

Had a not so good experience the last time i was here. We were a big party and it was raining heavily when we got into the restaurant so obviously were not in our best of looks. We got some weird look, believe it or not, from the staff which made me really uncomfortable and i was absolutely surprised. Their behavior didn’t change the entire time we were there. The food wasn’t great either. Overall i had a very forgetful experience.

We had a gorgeous meal! The service was so lovely, hand sanitizer at the table, and we felt very safe dining outdoors. The area is covered, so rain or shine, the outdoor dining is very nice. We had cocktails, all of which were delicious takes on some classics with some Indian twists on ingredients. The entire meal was fantastic, but we were blown away by the Bhuna Mutton. One of the best dishes Ive had in a long time. Cant wait to go back!

Pushy Order Taker ; they forgot part of order lol the appetizer; and it came basically at end of dinner not fully cooked ! additional they wanted us to finish & leave for turnover of the table for more guests ; expensive ; Good Portion ; Good Quality ; the Dried Okra is good

Most wonderful Indian restaurant in NYC. Food is scrumptious and well-portioned. Would recommend the butter chicken, dal makhani, saag paneer, samosa chaat, malai chicken tikka, and gobi aloo - we truly ordered a feast!The owner is congenial and the staff (especially Kevin and Christopher) are attentive and helpful. Would visit again ASAP!

Delicious Indian Thali

This place has good food and quality is good. The place is good for taking out colleagues. It is spacious and clean. It lacks a cosy and romantic feel. We were looking for a romantic outing but were sadly disappointed.

Not a great spread, food is ok. What you pay for is the location, ambience and service.

Excellent food! Excellent service! This is what we got and it was all really good and I recommend all of this : samosas, chicken tandoori kabob, black lentils (in a creamy sauce omg so good), chicken tikka masala, and lamb vindaloo, garlic naan, and raita (the yogurt sauce not sure if I spelled it correctly). I highly recommend this restaurant. A++++

Seriously amazing. Plus the view
