My past posts about this place were truthful and not very nice. But a waiter there on my last visit the other day made me a forgiving spirit. The food is awesome here. And it’s vegetarian friendly. I’m used to paying bargain prices at restaurants but the little more here is well worth it.

While I was entering. I was confused if the place is functioning or abandoned. Fancy place. Kinda expansive. But, the food was good. If you a desi food fan, the food you buy from other places for $8 is $20 here. The place is a little dark. and stays empty all the time. They add their tips on the check; weird.

I love this venue very much. there is a friendly ambiance. The meals are superb. the service is efficient and the crew is courteous. The cost is fair. truly recommend.

Nice food. Good place for quick snack and meals. Tried vegetable platter it was amazing !!!

Average little Indian place with average ambience and food

Food is OK. Little expensive with respect to interiors and food taste. Restaurants decide their own tip and add that to the bill. Thats weird

Went for the 1st time for a work luncheon, the food was ok, buffet style

This spot is my favorite. I eat in plenty of restaurants but to this one I keep coming back again and again. The stuff is very amicable and the cooking they offer is so delicious. I would always prefer to have a decent dinner in this restaurant. Highly recommended.

Fantastic location, food and service. Great view of One World Trade Center. Place stays very busy and is used by various tours from India. Lunch buffet is tasty. Friendly staff/manager/owner. Was there to pick up my sister who visited with a tour, staff provided information about tours arrival, etc..

Loved their afternoon buffet. It is small and has about a dozen selections, but I wasnt disappointed. Fresh made bread. Appears fresh and definitely worth going back.

Truly authentic Indian restaurant in Manhattan with reasonable rates. The servers are nice and respectful. The food was great and with generous portions. They even have is complimentary desserts. They did add a default 20% tip to the bill which was odd.

The food I had here was fine, but not great - the samosas were flavorful; the tandoori chicken did not seem to have been marinated with much spice. It was a 90 degree day, and the space was too warm; they didnt include any ice in my water. Aside from that, service was good. I dont normally care about decor, but this place looked run down and was darker inside than I thought it needed to be. It didnt feel very festive.

I absolutely enjoy the food and service, awesome area very close to my apartment. The workers are always welcoming. Highly recommended.

I visited this place with my team for a lunch and this place is a good bet for Indian food. They have a variety of the menu and the food is delicious. Must try their buffet which i beleive would be served only during lunch hours. Dont worry about spices! They dishes they have are mild and tasty. Good place with affordable prices.

The food is consistently fresh and delightful, workers hands over awesome service. I like how neat it is and atmosphere. I highly recommend this spot.

Great food and the service was fantastic! Our server was so attentive and friendly. Will definitely be coming back to try other dishes.

I really enjoyed their dishes. I always get awesome service there. The place is always clean and the cashiers are always friendly. Will come back again.

I did not like food. We went with 19 people and food was not refilled on time. We had to request again and again.Also they added tips on their own. This is not right.

Great food and ambiance. Went for a lunch buffet and loved it. Kept coming to refill the plate. My favorite were dhal and eggplant with potatoes. Everything else was good quality and fresh too

Food is excellent. When Im not feeling like going strictly Keto. It is hard to beat the food. The service and wait staff are great. There are occasions when this place gets really packed. Its a good idea to come there early for lunch to avoid the parade. Food is consistent from time to time and it can be tranquile to eat there provided they are not taken over by such mentioned parade.

These guys are great. The lunch buffet is a wonderful way to try some Indian dishes you might not be familiar with. Evening dining is Langer and really relaxing. They are here for a long time for a reason!

World class Service. The entire crew like to work as one team or should I say as family but over all Im very happy and the owners make you feel like your own place. Thank you guys and please keep up the good work. If anyone ever get a chance please try their tea. Its a complete different taste. Something new for me so I would definitely pay them a visit again.

Food was great, and the owner was so nice! She stopped by our table and talked with us for a while. The service was a bit slow, but I really enjoyed the meal.

Beware of the waiters in the hotel and do check the bill before paying. They cheated me and added almost 50% extra amount in my original bill. Later on reaching home i realized and called them back. Then they gave me explanation that its tip that they added, without asking me. They will behave nice toward you but pls be cautious.

A Good place to visit for buffet for vegetarian and non vegetarian is not that expected. Nice place for family and kids. They provide with drinks service too. Neat and clean but small space to occupy 50 persons maximum. Good in Greater New York city.

May be its American style Indian food... But I thought it could be better.. Decor is old but nice. People are friendly and helpful

Overall food was very oily, very spicy despite by saying medium spices. On top of it, they have added TIP by 15% by themselves in the bill - this is extortion. I will not recommend to anybody to go to Salaam Bombay - I have been travelling across countries, this restaurant is just a black spot on our Indian cuisine.

Very big room for improvement in a lot of items on the menu. I have personally placed 3 different orders in 3 months and did not like the food every single time.First, I ordered Idli Sambar, Idli looked stale and sambar had nothing but red chilli (extremely hot) and the coconut chutney had gone bad already.Second, I ordered Baingan bharta and it looked like it was churned in a blender wi no taste at all.Today I ordered Dosa & Idli. Dosa was very oily and the potatoes inside it were extremely spicy. The Idli again looked stale. The sambar had no water but plenty of vegetables including Cauliflower which is not supposed to be in Sambar. And there was no coconut chutney.

Amazing food! How is this place so little known? My husband and I stumbled across this place on our way back to our car amongst the other restaurants on Greenwich. It had absolutely phenomenal food and prices that werent $35 a plate. We both got one of their curry dishes, and their spicy shrimp app and was not disappointed. The service was really good and there was great attention to detail.. What baffled me was the place was almost completely dead on a Saturday night? Am I missing something? Or do ppl just not like Indian food? You guys are missing out!

It is a buffet type restaurant so it is all you can eat but it has limited food options but it is enough to try Indian food. Plus, most of my Indian coworker told me that the good are pretty authentic and the price are reasonable..

Really good food but super empty. When we were there we weren’t sure if the place was open or not or even if it was still functioning... once we got in, service was really slow but the food was good.

Good place! Nice buffet! Great staff.

I eat here a lot since I work nearby. I like how the service is always fantastic and they keep the spot well organized constantly. Prices are fair and they serve big portions.

Great Indian buffet. The food is tasty and not too spicy. The goat is delicious and tender. The dessert is small selection, but what they have is good.

Are you serious guys? Asking for the more tips before you even deliver the food? Put the condition like if you’re gonna do 50% tips then n then you’ll deliver the food? DEMANDING!! Wow. Keep your food with you Malek! Have some ethics at least when you running the business.

I am a native New Yorker and will keep to the directness of how we are known to be :)Food: Good. I had the lunch buffet special, but nothing stood out as exceptional. It was good, just not a single dish stood out. The desserts were good :)Space: This place is so beautiful.The website does nothing for this place and its interior. The cushioned wooden chairs, copper plates, drapery extended from the ceiling its the perfect place for date nights, business dinners, or get-togethers.Service: The staff is very professional, courteous and provides elegant service.

Ive been there few times and the reason is authentic Indian food, which is hard to get in the city. Their lunch buffet is the best, you can try the whole bunch of options.

Good Indian Food...lot of options available in menu. I liked veg staeters and desert...overall very good for Vegan

Love love the desserts! Food is the best too in the area, great buffet!

Good food and good service always.

Great Indian menu and atmosphere... a little cramped and often busy but otherwise fine. Our Labor Union gathers there yearly to announce and celebrate our membership and benefits.

Environment and food is OK for a quick weekday lunch.

Great buffet. Both vegetarian and non-veg options for the buffet. Price is also decent. I paid $18 including tip. Buffet includes free appetizer options, entree had 2 veg options, 2 chicken, lamb, rice and naan..

Why this place is never full is a true mystery. A beautiful, welcoming space with very nice and patient servers and exceptional Indian food is a must visit place. Spiciness is your choice on any dish and the staffers are Indian and authentic. You always get it, so just stop by.

Nice food but it is not me. I went with some friends from my job as for a Holiday celebration

Food was good....but the service was not up to the mark

Very accommodating staff. Lovely restaurant. Good food.

We went there for a weekday lunch buffet with high expectations. The quality has deteriorated over the years - all the dishes tasted like oil. The chairs are greasy and dirty, and the place seems to be falling apart. Its a pity because they were one of my go to spots a few years ago. Only saving grace is that their jamuns are still amazing!

Food is un noteworthy, prices are expensive ($30/person not including tip), and waitstaff repeatedly pressure you to order more food and drink. They serve you papadum (wafer/crackers) without asking and charge $2 for it. Not a big deal but it all adds up to an uncomfortable experience where at every turn theyre trying to make a few more dollars off of you without giving you anything you actually want.

Ambience is traditional Bombay feel. Food taste was average

Spent some quality time here with my friends.. food and drink is nice.

Love this place. The waiters know our family personally and are always willing to go beyond what is in the menu and prepare custom dishes for us.

Excellent food at a fair price. Options vary per day. Chicken Tikka Masala is typically there. Amazing appetizers. Ive only had the buffet, but its worth every penny. I recommend trying a bit of everything, theres always something exciting and invigorating.

Not a bad place for Indian, but there are definitely better Indian places in town. The service is pretty good however the interior is a bit dated.

A cosy place. Nice ambiance. Sadly thats all I liked it there. Has buffet. For $15 the food was sub par. 2 meat starters and 3 vegetarian ones, if you count idly as a starter. Idly for me is breakfast!The meat starters were both chicken. One of them was a bit undercooked. The pakoras were good. None of the curries were good. The lamb in lamb curry was rubbery. Chicken tikka masala was very sweet. Vegetarian curries were ok.The only saving grace was the dessert. Mango flavoured kheer. Just the right amount of sweet.I would have given this restaurant more stars had the buffet been priced at $10 or do. Definitely not with $15.

Service is above and beyond. They catered to me from enter to exit. When I came in the place was empty, and I was a bit worried that there would be issue with the food because the service was top notch. I had the buffet because Im an Indian Cuisine novice and didnt know what to pick other than chicken tika masaala, and I was in an adventurous mood. I tried a little of everything. I dont recall the names of the dishes, but everything on the buffet was tasty to me. It tasted a bit mild for what I would expect from Indian food, but still very flavorful. I will definitely return.

They lied, they accepted the order on Grubhub but never delivered.I Want my money back

This place has the worst Indian food in the entire New York. Starters are reasonably fine but the main cuisines are bland and lack the spices. The bread served is pretty cold. 20$ for the buffet is too much.

Food is excellent. Service is excellent. Been here many times and will keep coming.

Average food. Nice ambience. Look for other options if you have them.

Worst waiters. We friends wentthere for lunch they doing add extra tips and all I never had any restaurant like that before........

Good food and nice place for gatherings

We went here for our 2014 NYE Party.. it was organized by a group called Bollymix NYC. The place is really nice in terms of available space. Its a shame they havent invested in making this a better lounge. It can easily compete Pranna...

Poor quality stale Indian food. Also the restaurant charged $2 as tip when it wasnt mentioned by me. Absolutely shady and pathetic.

Mixed experiences here.Some days I find fresh and tasty food and some days not.

One of my main go tos for takeout. The cashew korma is amazing.

Food is great. Had to wait a bit for plates.

Very bad food. They offer lunch buffet for $17 and the food is not at allllll worth the price. No much options in the food. No taste in ffood. Still they have kept the buffet for a veryyyy high price.Even though we were very hungry, we couldnt even eat it.

Not that great of an experience. There were very few items for buffet and the food was ok-ish.

Good lunch buffet- one of the better ones in downtown.

Look, 20 bucks for a good lunch buffet, but if you want the best Indian food, there are better spots, though NOT without travel, so if you are down this way, do it.

Good food..still scope of improvement..Patels take care well..

Quiet clean hood tasting znirth Indian fare. The place is a bit sterile though.

Food is good. Seemed a cozy place . Prices are a bit too high for what youre getting though.

Food is very delicious.. Make sure you reserve before you go especially lunch hrs.

Worst experience of my life . The food wasnt cooked properly also the attitude of the restaurant staff nd managers are high in the sky. I wouldnt recommend anyone to have food in this restuarant.

The food was just average (except for the chaat which tasted great) and $16 was steep for the limited choices in the buffet. They had rice pudding for dessert when we entered, but had taken it off within a few minutes. Saag paneer was bland as mud. Naan was served as soon as we started and it was very thick and already cold.We were surprised when the check had a mandatory tip. This was awkward as I have not come across restaurants including the tip as a part of the check itself. In the past when I have had genuinely good food and great service, Ive left more than 50% tip at certain restaurants. This, my friend, is borderline extortion.

Wonderful ambience,service,good collection of both veg and nonveg cuisines. We were happy with the food for the amount we paid.

Decent Indian restaurant across wtc.menu has almost everything.taste is ok.service promptMid priced

Yes yes yes biryani..no veggi roll

I have a good taste with Indian food, so I couldnt get that here. Only few items are worth tasting.

If you visit this place with expectation of authetic indian food then this resturant is no close to the Indian taste.Food is over cooked and lack of Spices, rather than going to the Salaam bombay better you go on food cart nearby and have a biryani or lamb over rice.Ambiance is dim and on top of that service is no good, waiters need to be trained on etiquette.I would not recommed this place to anybody and will not visit this place any more.Final Salaam (Bye Bye)

It used to be great couple of years back. I personally think their quality and service was better then

Excellent for lunch. Variety of delicious dishes.

Great food and incredibly filling. Rather miffed that the entrees do not come with rice, so be prepared to spend a little extra $ for rice.

One of the nicest restaurant in the area.Little more pricey but nice interiorTasty food.

Great Indian buffet for a great price in a quiet setting.

Its good place to enjoy Indian food

Nice Indian joint close to WTC.Menu is exhaustive and quality reasonable.

Mediocre restaurant in a wonderful location.. The starters are amazing and not many options are there for vegeterians.. Went there twice and each time food tasted bland especially main course. Instead of papad (Indian Crackers), the waiter serves naan at forst which is odd...The Indian Tea at the end is so light and not tasty to bring an end to long and boring lunch buffets...

The decor was nice and seemed pretty clean and the staff was nice ... but the food was just ok at best ... it didnt seem very fresh, bread was luke warm; seemed as if the lack of people caused the food to go stale ... we went for the weekday buffet at $15+ dollars per ...

I have been here many times and the quality of food is magnificent.

Love the food and reasonably priced

Nothing fancy but decent food. The atmosphere could use a bit of updating.

Ambince wise it was Good.. We went for a buffet not many choices and no Biryani in an Indian restaurant. . Poor.

The name of this restaurant does not indicate its food. Its nowhere near to being Indian food. Its all bland no spices ,no taste. What they serve is American version of Indian food. Do not go to have Indian food . Bad experience .

Below average food forget about being good. Waiter immediately brought the naan the moment we brought the starters. (Should have waited until we bring main). and when we asked for fresh naan because earlier naan were cold, the answer we got was - they are fresh naans. Congrats to owner for earning 9 bad customers and no future visits.

Great Indian food, really missed food back in India but eating at this place was absolutely awesome. Tried the baigan ka salan and garlic naan, it was awesome! :)

Fabulous Indian food and at a great price.

Food is OK, decor needs some work
