- ZenFoodsterDecember 9, 2017Nothing beats staying in on snowy day & delivery of our faves: Anardana Ckn (Pomegranate Grilled Ckn), Dum Ki Gobhi Aloo (Cauliflower+potato), Palak Paneer (Spinach Paneer), Butter Ckn & Garlic Naan.
- Village VoiceJune 3, 2013The updated Mughlai dishes here still bring plenty of heat to the table! Stockpile napkins and dig in to the tandoori chicken and lamb kebabs. The lunch buffet is also a neighborhood deal at $11.95
- NoufMarch 23, 2018I’m not a big fan of indian food but this was exceptional. Such a great place when it comes to food & service. Highly recommended! Chicken butter was really good.
- Marc SchneebergerMarch 12, 2019Its probably the best indian restaurant in the upper east side. Dishes are very rich and if you go for the brunch deal you will eat an enormous amount of food!
- The best Indian in the city. Great food great service. Murg makhani was so so so good!!
- Amelie PMarch 3, 2015Great deal of veggie options, just enough spices and reasonable prices. We shared the mushrooms kebab and I got the Palak Paneer : very good although portions end up to be bit too much for me
- LilyDecember 20, 2018NYT ** (2012): "Pakoras, murgh tandoori/makhani, burrah kebab, malai kofta, dum ke phool, baingan Patiala, bhindi jaitpuri, paneer makhani, mkebabkeen curry, crab lehsuni, signature masala."
- Excellent Indian food. Would recommend the lamb curry, butter chicken and paneer kadhai. Dal makhni is delicious!
- ZenFoodsterFebruary 20, 2018MMD was 1 of my top go-to Indian restaurants..but now-sadly-no more! Recently, I’ve noticed food quality & taste have been slipping, a “C” health-rating, pricier menu ≠ smaller (delivery) portions!
- ZenFoodsterDecember 29, 20161 of my fave Indian lunch buffets-choice of vegetarian or meat-which has pretty much the same veggie options + 1 meat app + 1 meat entrée (no lamb for me)! ;9
- Varun ShettyDecember 7, 2012Phenomenal food: paneer tikka, dahi palak, murgh tandoori, burrah kebab (best thing on the menu), murgh and dal makhani - and, of course, gulab jamun
- Zeba SiddiqiMay 31, 2016Best indian food in Nyc! Their kadhai chicken , paneer butter masala and daal makhani are on my favourite list.
- José Javier GonzálezNovember 20, 2022We had a wonderful night at this place. I have to say that we loved the smoke taste on the KHUMB KEBAB. The MEEN CURRY was outstanding!
- Paula BuzzoMarch 4, 2018Highly recommend the all you can eat brunch, delicious and very good quality . The service is impeccable.
- Jess SpinosaOctober 26, 2018Best Butter Chicken ever - nice mix of sweet/savory/spice. The biryani was also very well spiced with incredibly tender chicken. Pass on the Pani Puri though - all looks.
- My fav is Fish Tikka but everything on the menu is so good. But beware that food quality of takeaway is not as good as dining in.
- Laura De ValenciaJanuary 17, 2013It can easily beat the "T" and "J" places. Real chicken tandoori without coloring. Their phirni (crushed rice pudding) is a must try. We also had the chicken with yogurt/cashewnut gravy- crazy good
- If you're looking for North Indian food and a fancy setting (especially if you're not Indian), this is the place. Best Indian restaurant in town hands down.
- Crypto ConsumerJuly 28, 2017Had such a great meal here the other night. Decided to move on from chicken tikka and went with a lamb dish. It was delicious!
- Strongly suggest getting one each of the vegetarian and meat lunch specials if you go with someone else - vegetarian appetizers are especially delicious!
- Harsh SharmaApril 19, 2014The best Indian food in US I have eaten! Dal Makhani compares to the best of Old Delhi. Paneer Lababdar is delicious and so is Khasta Roll. Do talk with Chef Kishore. He is as warm a host as they come
- Wow. Very easily some of the best Indian food I've ever had. Get the butter chicken, chana masala, lemon rice, and plenty of samosas.
- Morgan PolotanMarch 21, 2015One of the better Indian restaurants in Manhattan, though the location is a bit out of the way.
- Raquelle JessieJune 29, 2016order: butter chicken, naan, Bhuttey Ke Kebab, Khumb Kebab, Shrimp Signature Masala, tandoori chicken, rice, mint yogurt dip
- David DunhillSeptember 30, 2015Butter chicken. Daal Makhani. This place is really butter central. Bonus: lamb in spinach is shockingly awesome. A must go.
- Lunch is a pretty good. They have two options to choose from, veg and non veg. It's a three course meal with a lot of food.
- Russell HirschornNovember 16, 2014Really good Roomali Khasta and Daal Makhani. Khadhi Murgh could've been better. Solid wine pours.
- Amazing Paneer dishes. Also the Daal Makhni is out of this world! The butter naan was very well made!
- Serious EatsJuly 31, 2013An international chain specializing in Mughlai, an exceptionally rich and varied branch of Indian cooking. Very vegetarian-friendly.
- Village VoiceJanuary 18, 2013The lamb kebabs are exceptional, as is the thickly seasoned tandoori chicken. Veggies can head to a steaming lunch buffet with vegetarian options as well!
- BlackboardEatsSeptember 13, 2012There isn’t enough Indian-brewed beer to help you pronounce the murgh makhani (fork-tender chicken in a silky tomato sauce) at Moti Mahal Delux, but try your best and you’ll be rewarded.
- The real butter chicken, kaali daal and some funky delicious stuff like gol grappa shots, roomali khasta dips & scallops w/ mango chutney. YUM!
- Excellent food!! The Butter Chicken and Daal Makhani were very authentic & awesome. Also try out the Roomali Khasta, a very eclectic appetizer!
- Lears FoolJune 15, 2015Golgoppa shots are a unique experience. They can't be split - you have 4 whole mouth bites, so make sure you are ready for that.
- stephanieMay 4, 2014staff was super nice to us and our 14-month old son. brought him a mango lassi and a bunch of baby-friendly things to eat; we were pleasantly surprised when they weren't on our bill.
- Alfaisal GJune 2, 2017Real Indian food. Try lamb masala and biryani. So good,, and do not forget golabjamdoon.
- Kunjan PunatarOctober 23, 2015Veg dishes taste the same everywhere but not here. Go for Paneer Lababdar - amazingly unique and great taste!
- Christine LiangJuly 8, 2013You're in for a treat with the lunch special. $14 to eat like a king. 2 apps, 1 entree, 1 dessert. Refills. Can't go wrong.
- Lears FoolJune 15, 2015The Butter Chicken is not only probably the best in NYC, it is possibly the best on the planet.
- Moti Mahal DeluxOctober 20, 2012Diwali is around the corner! Come by between Nov 4- Nov 18 and check out our special Diwali menu during dinner (prix-fix with vegetarian and non-vegetarian options).
- Chris SteeleNovember 10, 2014On Sundays a very reasonable and tasty brunch "seated buffet" awaits anyone who can handle the surliness here.
- Heather ParkDecember 16, 2014Flavorful, authentic Indian with authentic dishes. Complex flavored vs. the norm where everything tastes the same
- The place is among the best places for Indian Food around, has good interior design, excellant service and delicious food!
- Kéké Welter-BernardJuly 7, 2013Great food, excellent waiter! He offered us a little desser, so nice. I definitively recommend this place
- Ryan GallagherSeptember 11, 2018Really good Indian. The MMD Masala is really good. Fairly cheap as well.
- ShioriSeptember 7, 2012So so delicious and filling! Come with an empty stomach and you won't be disappointed. Will be back again soon :)
- Lily O'DareAugust 23, 2014Vegetarian paradise. Amazing indian and great ambiance at a reasonable price. Yum!!
