I believe good hospitality makes the food taste better. And Bhatti is one of those places, the staff are very nice hosts. The food is traditional yet with a unique chefs signature, with beautiful presentation. The launch specials come at excellent price and in a district with many indian restaurants, Bhatti stands out.
We got paneer tikka masala and lamb rogan josh, which were delicious.What stands out the most about Bhatti is their kind staff. It was pouring outside and we had a baby puppy with us. Every other Indian restaurant in the surrounding did lot let us come in, even though there was a storm and our dog was in a bag, but Bhatti let us in and gave us a lot of comforting food! Highly recommend. Their chai was not the best.
Great food and great atmosphere! We sat outside as we wanted to take advantage of the pleasant evening September weather. It was a full house so highly recommended to reserve. We ordered potatoes/cauliflower dish, biryani chicken, prawn dish with rich tomato gravy, white rice, naan and roti. Although they didn’t serve the usual free papadum with three different dipping sauces and rice/bread wasn’t included with an entree, everything tasted very very good! Fragrant, authentic and the portion was quite generous. One of the best Indian restaurants in the neighborhood! Service was fast and efficient (read: a bit cold; didn’t ask if the food was ok and had to ask for more water).
We ordered Bhatti via Ubereats. The food got delivered to us 2.5 hours after we ordered. We contacted Ubereats and they said their delivery guy was waiting for Bhatti to finish cooking. We ordered 7 items and only 5 were delivered. They cancelled 2 items and did not let us know. We called the restaurant to ask them why the food is being delayed and they sarcastically told us we were delaying the food delivery because we asked for a status check on the food we ordered. We had run a race earlier in the day and we were all starving and craving Indian food. Since it took 2.5 hours to be delivered, we ordered from another Indian restaurant in the meanwhile to curb our hunger.
Recommend 👍Loved the food. Exceptional food quality and taste😊 One of the best Indian food available in USA. Their biriyani is the best 🤗
Phenomenal Cuisine and Impeccable customer service! The lead chef is an Amazing and hospitable gentleman.
I was here a year ago. Food was delicious, presented well and service was nice. Planning to go there again next week.
We went on a Sunday afternoon and our experience was amazing. We ordered Paneer Tikka Masala, Dal Bhatti, Garlic naan, Chilli Naan and Laccha paratha. Everything was very delicious. The customer service was also great. We asked for extra spicy and the food was on point. I highly recommend Bhatti if you want some authentic Indian food.
Some of the best curry Ive had. All of it was fantastic
The servers were exceptionally rude. Even after making a prior appointment, they pretended to be confused by our arrival. The servers were literally making a face at us. There’s no doubt we left without any tip. Do better next time.
Had a quick lunch with my aunt and we both left fat and happy!! Out of dozens and dozens of Indian restaurants in manhattan, BHATTI GRILL IS A TRUE GEM!Their service was awesome, all of the food was fresh and very tasty but surprisingly their Daal Makhani became my favorite, and I’m usually not a daal fan! Can’t wait to go back for dinner.
The manager was good, focused and very attentive. But the other staff was least interested in attending guests. We kept on waiting for everything little thing. I would highly recommend not to go on a busy day and timing, as the service level will be very low. Food is good but the experience matters too!
We were four of us yesterday for dinner. We had a really great time in Bhatti. As always, I enjoyed their food and also my family did. The food that we ordered were all delicious. Special thanks to my server who took a good care of us. Thank you Mayank ji.Overall, food was great, service was outstanding, and the outside dining experience was good too. I’ve come to Bhatti couple of times before for indoor dining. But, dining outside was my first time here and I love the decor.
Wow good restaurant but just this morning I saw them on the news with a really bad stance which seemed anti customer. Its as if their ready for unwanted customers. We get it we need to show a piece of cardboard that says we got a shot which this entire process is illegal! Food is good but the interview put me off.
This restaurant reminded me of few best Mumbai restaurants. Keep up the good work. I would love to come again.
Nothing special more like hype, if you come without reservation they make you wait and then give seats after 20-30mins even seats are available all the time, remember they add 40% tip already ,make sure cancel that .Better skip and go somewhere else.Naan suppose to be more crispy as I told them but seems regular one, spice level mild they even dont bother to ask.
The service at the restaurant was very poor. The waiter asked us if we were ready to order right after he seated us, which of course we weren’t. Little did we know we would have to wait for 25 minutes before he came to take our order again! We repeated asked for an extra glass of water (we were 4, there were only 3 glasses) and were brought one well into our first course. The food was also mediocre, and quite a disappointment as I’d heard good things about the place pre-pandemic. The chicken curry was too salty and the butter naan had no butter! When we asked to replace the naan the chef came out and insisted that the butter naan is supposed to be ‘dry’ - absolutely absurd!Overall I wouldn’t go again and would definitely not recommend the restaurant to anyone else.
This is a pass. The food is only ok. The service is very slow and either the wait staff is unfamiliar with the menu or they are trying to pass some dishes off as other well known staples. There are better places a block away
We travel from Colorado twice a year to NYC and always come here. However, we have been disappointed with the flavor and spices of the food the last 2 times. We loved the authentic spices and “bite” to the food. That’s been missing. The food was “bland” and spiced down for the American taste buds. So disappointed. The Saag paneer is bland ! No flavor or bite to the food as they used to have . Maybe they have a new chef? With so many Indian restaurants in NYC, you have to remain authentic and competitive, have your unique flavors. That said, the service is amazing, the care and attention to detail is phenomenal.
We enjoyed the grills. The biryani was horrible. We felt that it had too much of rose flavor in it.. both rice and yogurt. The staff are laid back.. so expect delays and extra time for your orders.
Ate outside. Had two appetizers. Both good.
Buffet style Indian food for an unbelievable price during lunch hours, only $14, but they bring the food to your table. Gets really crowded during noon.Usually they serve 3 appetizers, 5 course of veg and non-veg items, and a dessert item at the end.They take reservations only for weekends. Service is not at it’s best but the delicious dishes and the affordable price overcomes the shortfalls.
Horrible service, bad food. I got the gulati kebob which was dry, pasty and tasteless. I also ordered their chicken kebob which was also bland. The two dishes came out together and were served nearly cold. The roti I ordered was definitely cold, I don’t think it was made to order. Paid nearly 40 bucks for two appetizers, was so disappointed, chose not to order dinner and left.
One of my favorite Indian restaurants in NYC!! Authentic Indian flavors and great Naans too. My favorites being the Butter Chicken , Dal Makhani and the Lamb Roganjoah!! Do try them you won’t be disappointed!!
Tastiest chaat Ive ever had with the perfect amount of chutney, and a mango Lassi that was delicious!
Had the lamb korma. Cashew based sauce with subtle flavors. Lamb was very tender. One of the better restaurants in the area.
Avoid it. Bad food. Little in quantity and low on taste. The potato patty in banarasi chat was stale, the paneer tikka masala was bland and the naan bread was hard. This place is best avoided. Plus the ambience isn’t helpful. The air conditioner was leaking water.
Very poor service and small portion sizes. Had to wait for 20 min and remind someone to take our order and then another 30 min to get the food. Not worth the time or money. Avoid the place
Beautiful restaurant, delicious food, can gear up a bit on service (i know it takes time to make fresh food)
Had the lamb lunch special, everything was very good, especially the appetizer, and very generous variety and portions, will definitely be back. Only downside is that service is slow, took ~35 minutes, so be sure youre ready for that.
Excellent service, keeping the Covid in mind very very friendly people, loved it to the core
Food was ok but not great. Service was ok but not great. Sitting outside and catching up with friends with over priced wine? Perfect.
The rice , the butter chicken and chili naan was amazing. First time there and the server was so great with her help and answered my questions.
My friend and I decided to give this place a try, but we were greeted by extremely rude service. The server put the spoon directly on the table. How do they expect us to use silverware to eat which is directly lying on the table? This was totally unacceptable. We still requested for another spoon. Then started the long wait for food. When we almost waited for an hour and asked for our food.. we were told that there is no order placed. I found the server with whom I placed the order and he told us that because we switched tables, the dish went back. Apparantly it is very complicated because there are so many tables and we switched tables. Shamelessly no apologies by the staff. In fact we were handed our checks and were told that if we want the dish, we will have to wait again. Extremely rude staff. We had to leave hungry after paying for our drinks and find someplace else for dinner.
Have had better experience with Bhatti before. This time, the Methi chicken was super salty. Also the Chili naan took so much time that we had to wrap up and take it home as we were getting super late. The other naans came with the Entree but the Chili naan was missing. Had to tell them multiple times and there wasnt a single apology or acknowledgement of the screw-up.
Only non veg was good, veg was hell and service was disgusting.... 2.5 hours wasted for just two curries and 4-5 naan and rotis.... Charged 152$.... I mean please think once what you are charging for....
Just do it! My friend and I have been bouncing around the Indian restaurants in the area and this place is by far our most favorite. The ambiance is quiet and somewhat romantic. Sophisticated. We usually take pictures of the food we eat but once we tried what was brought to our table we forgot all about it and the food disappeared in moments. Everything was well flavored and so fresh. We had no complaints about anything. Will definitely be returning often.
Very good food, A bit to much oil on the food some times
Horrible food. Rude chef. Not worth it. Terrible atmosphere. Dirty restaurant. Food was disgusting
Excellent food, great service. A must go to
Amazing food and slow service.
Awesome food and service we had a great server
The food was very delicious. Best Indian food Ive had. The price is very good. Highly recommend. 😊
One of the few places that does Indian meats (lamb/goat) proper; MEDIUM cooked with marinade, (not WELL DONE). And properly cooked. And the right quantity. And the chutney uses real coriander leaves. Pricey but worth it. All the menu is quality.
Bhatti rhymes with Tatti.So is their food and service.I am sorry to say this but, the service was so bad that we were sitting without food for 45+ minutes. Also, when the food came, it had hair strand in it and small hard stone like things. And above all the utensils and glass in which they serve water were also stinking.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️This restaurant was recommended by our Uber driver after a show. It was a Saturday night, and I had no reservations. Albla was super sweet and made our night! She got us a table, ... the best table actually! Now the food,.. I must say, this is the BEST Indian restaurant I have ever eaten at. I’m such a snobby eater and a huge foodie. I ate till it hurt! You must try!!🥰❤️
Has the management/kitchen changed?? Not too long ago, we thought the food was decent. However, had an extremely poor experience when ordering last night. The whole experience failed miserably on all counts. First, the quantity was almost half of what it used to be. When calling the restaurant to talk about it, had to deal with a really obnoxious employee by the name of Sachin. He started of the conversation itself in a rude, arrogant and demeaning manner from the get go, which really riled us up. Cannot believe they employ such people to talk to their customers! Second, the food was really bad. The paneer was hard and chewy. Saag paneer curry had no flavor. Malai kofta had way too much salt. Very disappointed. We would have probably given it another shot given we have liked the food here in the past and giving the benefit of doubt that yesterday was an off day; but the treatment we faced by the said employee has left a really bad taste (pun intended!). We are DONE with Bhatti and NEVER AGAIN!
Had a reservation for 8:15. It’s currently 9:03. still waiting. So hungry. Hopefully this food will make me add stars.
One of the Best Real Authentic Indian Restaurant in NYC...everything on the menu is mouth watering... Specially my Favorite Bhatti Da Murg & Lamb Chops.... My Regular Spot since they started.... Highly recommended
I had reservation for party of 4 tonight. As we entered the restaurant there was no host/hostess to seat us.There was a random guy who just came and sat us on a dirty table.We asked the server to clean the table and told us to get up.I mean why did the person seat us when the table was not clean .We immediately left restaurant. Wanted to try this restaurant but customer service was really poor god knows how the food is.I’m really disappointed.
The table beside us was brought so close to us. It got uncomfortable. They were so busy attending others , they didn’t even come to our table.Served beer without glassServed chicken starter without onions or chutney. Very disappointed 😢
Really good paneer! I went there with a friend and it tasted delicious! However a bit pricey because I would not pay that much for daal when I could make it at home and it would taste just as good. But I have a feeling the prices are for the outdoor heating and the atmosphere. Very good nonetheless.
We went expecting spectacular service and food based on the reviews. While the service was decent, the food left much to be desired for. Our appetizers were ok but served with this weird rose flavored yogurt decoration and no chutneys which are a must for any Indian appetizer. Additionally, the quantity was laughably small! Who charges $15 for three kebabs? Our entrées were again just ok but the butter naans barely had any butter on them. We weren’t in the mood to be disappointed by dessert so paid and left. I wonder if this is a recent deterioration or if the other reviewers hadn’t been to good Indian restaurants. Not recommended at all!
This restaurant is hype and treat customers very badly - wait time for food hours and no hospitality attitude - think before and take your own risk of average food with no customer service .
The food was so good and the staff was so nice 😭 i will be coming back here soon.
My friend and I were excited to give this place a try, but we were greeted by extremely rude service. Unfortunately, we left before ordering and decided to head to Tamarind Tribeca.
Excellent food. One of the best North Indian food in NYC. Try the chef special daal bhatti (black daal).
The food is great and the rose garden is gorgeous but the service, not so much. It took a good 30-40 minutes for food to be served and We ordered 2 chaats as an appetizer but it was served with the dinner which made no sense and it came one by one. The portions are small which is another downside. It was a good first time experience but I won’t be returning.
Service isnt amazing but the food is well worth it
Not a good experience. Only four outdoor seating tables. Restaurant has decorated outdoor seating but deferred the expense of putting up decent heaters. Very uncomfortable and extremely chilly trying to eat outside in the cold. Food is subpar as compared to other Indian restaurants on the same street and is overpriced. Would skip dining here again this winter.
One of my favorites in the city for the authentic Indian food!
Im Russel. I delivered a freezer. Friendly staff. Very helpful.
They have an extra 8% charge for Covid. Weird.
It took almost an hr to get our order. No update in between..no one cares.
We were a party of three who just got back from lunch at Bhatti. We had the lunch special that was served with bhel puri, sambar vada and chicken kabab as appetizers. Next came the main course with rajma masala, paneer butter masala, aloo gobi, butter chicken, saag gravy, lamb curry, naan and veg biriyani. Everything is unlimited (this is just a buffet that is served at the table).Every item tasted amazing and we werent able to finish it all. We were three, but the food served seemed like for six people.We asked if we could take the left over food to go as there was just too much food to be wasted. We were told that they dont box them to go. We were a little skeptical about what theyd do with and asked them if it was to be thrown away, and were told that it is given to a charity. We had a feeling that it is just being reused and served again.
Lets just say its worth every penny. Good quality food
Tops the list of tasty lunch. Expect a warm staff, and traditional north Indian food. Serving size is sufficient for a person and half. Garlic Naan bread was super soft and amazing in taste. Same applies for the paneer dishes. We requested a spicy-hot dal tadka and it tasted great too. Kids loved the Mango lassi. Weekends is made-to-order dishes while weekdays are buffet. Bhatti has a decent seating space.
We had dinner at Bhatti Indian Grill …. And …. it was AWESOME!!! Their outdoor dining space was warm and very beautifully decorated.We ordered a veg and non-veg platter with a delicious variety of vegetables, paneer, aloo, and stuffed mushroom, all fired in the tandoor.The chicken and lamb chops each with a unique marinade were savory.We also had the Dal Batti, Chicken Kadai Masala, and several other dishes with a mixed variety bread basket, rice, and raita.I was searching for a sense of normalcy, I certainly found it here. I highly recommend making a reservation to dine there, or certainly pick up food to takeout.You won’t be disappointed. Thank you to the staff and management for a good time. Now I’m going to eat my leftovers and I will be back very soon
We not only experienced the best delicious food, but also great management service.
Food was good. Try their butter chicken!
Very good food, the veg biryani was amazing and the dal makhni which is the dal bhatti was superb! Only catch is outdoor dining, which gets very cold during the winters. Now we cannot really help given the times we are in but it would be great if the space heaters hung on the roof of an otherwise open structure are brought down to the floor.
Great food - never disappoints
Great as always - delicious, authentic, friendly, clean and comfortable
Food was good but beware, the person who brought over the check/credit card scanner misled us. We asked how the machine works in terms of tip and he showed how to add tip wothout mentioning 20% tip was already included (group of 5)
Maybe it was an off day, but service was extremely slow (only one waiter for Sunday lunch). Food was okay-meat was dry.
Great food.
Pretty much the best Indian starters Ive had in my 7 months of stay in NY. Main course was good as well. Overall a good experience with courteous staffer serving us. Probably a bit pricey but will definitely recommend for starters.
