“ Ordered mixed grill, have not eaten such fabtastic variety and taste on bbq in a long time. Reminded me of delhi ”
“ Food & service were EXCELLENT. Vibe was very chill. Our new go to. The naan is great, butter chicken was to die for and the mango lassi was spot on. ”
“ Yelp steered us towards Sahib in Curry Hill, and it was really a smash hit. We visited back in December and had a fantastic dinner. The appetizer of the paneer ke sooley ($13.49) was a splendid way to start the meal. Smoked paneer cheese? Sign me up. The lamb rogan josh ($21.95) and the chicken bhuna ($18.95) were full of flavor and were hearty and warmed us up on a freezing night. Sahib offers a zillion options and therefore definitely should have dishes that float your boat. The decor was on the minimal side but very classy. The service was also as stellar as the food. It's not all that often that you feel like the employees actually genuinely care about your dining experience. They were attentive without hovering and made sure we were enjoying the food and the meal overall. They also didn't shoo us out even though they were about to close, oops. You can't go wrong selecting Sahib! ”
“ Everything here is good quality and affordable! Nothing on the menu is sooo crazy - like very Standard north indian fare. The apps of papdi chaat and samosa chaat were pretty fine; maybe wouldn't order it again necessarily, but passable. Mains were good and this curry was $17 and quite tasty, so I think that's exactly what you want to not break the bank on something so standard. Service was nice and very easy to get a spot even on a weekend night, so in favor of this place! ”
“ Wonderful service and even tastier food. We attempted to go to one of our favorite restaurants just a few doors away from Sahib, but experienced difficulties getting seated and served. Not to worry because Sahib was more than welcoming and our food here was fabulous. The Mixed grill platter was one of our favorite dishes that we had at Sahib and it gives you a nice variety of all the various items that they have their tandoori treats. And of course we couldn't have our platter without having wonderful garlic naan bread. And we also had to have Mixed Vegetable Pakora and Samosas. We didn't have "cutting-edge" smash-up Indian food, but what we had was delicious! ”
“ Head on down to the 20s and Lexington Ave for a taste of culinary heaven! With so many options to choose from, it's easy to feel overwhelmed, but fear not--each restaurant on this vibrant street offers a unique and delicious experience. Whether you're craving the bold spices of North Indian cuisine or the comforting flavors of the South, you'll find something to satisfy your taste buds. So, I recently stopped by Sahib and let me tell you, the Dahi Aloo Tikki stole the show. And even though the Pani Puri portion was a VERY small for the price ($9 for 6 Pani Puris ) I enjoyed every bit of it as I hadn't eaten it in so long. I took a friend along for her first street food experience, and she was hooked. We got the Paneer Lababdar for main course, and it struck the perfect balance between sweet and savory. Best part? It didn't break the bank! Less than $30 per person for a feast. ”
“ Korma is still amazing as well as the butter chicken. New thing I tried was the onion Naan, and I liked this even more than the garlic Naan here (this Naan could see more flavor). ”
“ Definitely one of my favorite Indian spots in the city. Despite all of the nearby competition, Sahib has stood out for its quality and value. I've dined in and ordered takeout from Sahib numerous times in the last few years and you can't go wrong with anything on their menu. My favorites include the saag paneer, paneer tikka masala, dal, and samosas. I often order multiple dishes just for myself because I can't decide what I want! I'm certain Sahib will be a go-to spot for years to come. ”
“ My husband and I are in town for the weekend and knew we needed to get our fill of Indian food. I found this place on a list of Eater's best NYC Indian spots. We arrived around 1230pm on a Sunday. The place itself is relatively small--maybe 30 or so seats. There was plenty of space when we arrived. There are a ton of $15-16 lunch specials that come with your choice of entree (we got the lamb Rogan Josh and butter chicken). dal, rice, a dessert, an order of naan AND an order of samosas. We got everything in this photo for $35 (sans tip) and service was good. We left with full bellies, a smile and our leftover food and fresh order of naan :) ”
