“ This is a very small, cozy restaurant located about 10 minutes walk from NYC Penn Station. There are around 6-8 tables so most of the orders are takeout. We were able to get a table easily on a weekday night and service was decent but not the most attentive (inspire of having 3 servers standing at the counter for 10 or so people dining in). The food was presented well although it was quite expensive for smaller portions. I liked the copper jugs and glasses for water, that added a nice Indian touch. We ordered butter chicken as it was suggested by few other reviewwrs as well as yelp and it did not disappoint. The paneer kebabs were well marinated and tasty. Garlic naan was fresh and soft. Overall, a decent Indian restaurant find during our visit to NYC. ”

“ Good food, 2 locations. Fast service and cozy ambiance. Bhel puri was good! . ”

“ Very well done! Everything was perfect! We had the lamb vindaloo (waiter said it was 8 spicy but I thought it was 6-7 but I can handle it) the butter chicken and garlic naan also delicious. Good quality, ”

“ There was a long wait on the Friday night my friend and I went so we decided to get takeout. We got Chicken Tikka Masala, Garlic naan, and Lamb Biryani. It was a burst of flavor and I enjoyed it so much! The texture of the garlic naan was perfect too, I love when it's soft and has the right amount of garlic. The service was okay, they didn't seem attentive. ”

“ It's been many years since I've last tried Patiala. My friend recommended this spot for dinner last week and I had no idea I've been here before. We got the samosas, butter chicken, saag chana, and naan. What a completely different experience. Food was amazing! Everything was delicious, and it was an incredible value. Only "con" was their butter chicken tasted more like chicken tikka masala. I actually like chicken tikka masala better than butter chicken if done well, and theirs did not disappoint. I took home the leftovers and had enough for lunch for another two days! Absolutely can't wait to return. ”

“ Great food and friendly service. Highly recommend! I stopped by with a friend recently, and first thing of note is that the store is very small; probably 10 tables for two, but they're so close that they need to pull out the table in order for the inside seat to be reachable. I don't find an issue with this, but I can see a larger party becoming pretty hard to manage. I also got lucky without a reservation, but it's busy enough that I would make one next time I came back. We got the onion bhajia, lamb makhani, chicken tikka, and a couple naans. My first time having onion bhajia, and it didn't disappoint. Not overly oily, super good crisp, and quite flavorful. Also my first time having lamb makhani, and it was great. Lamb was amazingly tender, and the sauce was flavorful throughout. I honestly couldn't tell you exactly what the dish is/tastes like, but highly recommend giving it a go! The chicken tikka wasn't as good; a bit dry, and the flavor was a bit too one-dimensional. Highly recommend if you're looking for Indian food in the area! ”

“ My sister and I stopped here for a quick dinner before heading to the airport. The service was quick and the food was phenomenal. My sister ordered the chicken tikka masala and loved her dish. We also had naan and rice to share. I definitely recommend Patiala Indian Grill and hope to eat here the next time I'm in NYC. ”

“ We were here around mid-December. It was cold and windy outside and we were starving!!! We just went in as it was the closest restaurant around. The place is quite small and it was crowded! We had to wait 45 mins just to be seated. We were a party of 9 and with the festive season, the extensive wait was understandable. Despite the busy atmosphere, the overall experience was enjoyable as we were with family and Christmas time around New York is just a happy place to be! The server who got us seated was from Nepal and he was so accommodating and helped us secure seating for 9 against all odds (hah)! He got our elderly parents hot water and was just very attentive. Now for the food, let's start from the bad: we had paneer lababdar which was the only dish that was below average as it was too sweet and had a strong smell of raw tomatoes! Second I would say the patiala chicken curry. It had clash of spices, a little too much if you ask me. The sauce was very textured as well of course because of the amount of spices added to it. It was not bad but I wouldn't order it next time or maybe tone it down a little bit. Now for the good: we had 3 Murgh Biryani (chicken biryani), lamb madras, saag paneer and loads of garlic naan. The crowd favorite was the saag (spinach) panner and mind you I don't even like paneer! The saag paneer was the best I ever had! Second fav was the garlic naan! It was freshly made and served hot! It was just buttery soft, so good! Next was lamb madras. It was quite spicy but unlike patiala chicken curry, this didn't feel overwhelming! The blend of spices were just perfect, the lamb was cooked very well and was properly marinated. This dish with naan was unmatched! Chicken biryani was quite good was well. It was cooked in dum. ”
