Bengal Tiger - New York

I went there for a weekday dinner with my wife. The interior was excellent and the servers were very kind. We tried the 3-course prix fix. The food was good but I wasn't overwhelmed. There are a lot of better Indian food out there but it was great for the price. The food I chose was so spicy which the server warned me about when I took my order. My water cup was consistently filled by any passing servers which I really appreciated it.

Nice option for lunch if you like Indian food. I got the KORMA almond cashew nut sauce, yogurt, coconut and a side of black daal. I thought that the rice accompanied the main was very small but they were happy to refill it without extra charge. The daal wasn’t amazing

Another casual Indian place in the city that I’ve heard from a few people! Reasonably priced and yummy, portion is a little smaller than usual but definitely enough for one person. A good place to stop by if I’m in the area, but I wouldn’t take the commute just to go there.

Took a co-worker for Indian cravings as it was walking distance from Times Square. The entrance to the restaurant is shady, you walk upstairs and then walk into the spot. Decent ambience, no AC. This is dry restaurant so BYOB. We ordered food after we cooled off a bit. Kofta kebab, lamb vindaloo and chicken korma. Chicken was decent, lamb was good but very spicy, food doesn’t have to be this spicy, they should at least have various levels of spice for those who wanna try vindaloo. Kofta kebab was garbage, it was like a boiled meatballs absolutely no flavor unless u dip it into chutneys. Kebabs aren’t made this way and are usually full of flavor. This was a decent spot 3.5, to satisfy the Indian cravings but definitely not an awesome spot.

Great food, decently priced and excellent service. Some highlights: A. Water served is at perfect temperature. Not as warm as you get in a non-refrigerated bottled water and not as cold as refrigerated water or ice water you generally get in restaurants. Also, the server was diligent about refilling our water glasses timely. Best thing was it was served in a steel glass. Being Indian, it’s a great homely feeling of drinking perfectly cold water in a steel glass. B. The curries had a slightly different flavor than you generally get in typical Indian restaurants in the US. They had more strong flavors, maybe of cinnamon and other rarely used Indian herbs. Definitely different than standard Indian restaurants in US, so a great one to try once in a long while. C. In appetizers, samosa seemed like freshly made and had authentic taste whereas the butternut squash soup had a slightly different after taste than you generally get after having standard soups. D. 5 stars to the service. Excellent and diligent.
