Good food, lovely atmosphere, friendly staff. Wide range of types of Indian food, including kati rolls, dosas, and curries. Great addition to the neighborhood.
Jun 2023: spicing is very mild, generally. Extensive vegetarian and vegan menu, and lots of gluten-free items.
I highly recommend going to Tamarind to celebrate a special occasion! The chicken tikka masala, chicken takka tak, lamb vindaloo and saag paneer were incredible. For dessert, you must try the cardamom crème brûlée which was unlike anything I had before! I’d describe the menu as elevated traditional Indian food with exquisite flavor. Staff was very attentive (including to gluten free, all nuts and sesame allergies) and the ambiance of the whole restaurant was lovely.
I normally do not eat gluten free, vegan, or vegetarian, but this place was just amazing!
The food is exquisite, every dish was just right, best spring roll I've had since my grandma's, the peanut sauce was so light yet full bodied, the salad dressings brought out the flavors rather than cover them....
My friend booked the place for her birthday party, the wine selection was really nice, the owner was attentive to our requests and we had a wonderful time. The place is not big but offers a cozy and warm setting, which was perfect for our small party.
I used to avoid dining out in vegan places, I thought the food was weird and tasted strange, this place totally changed that, so i will definitely bring my fussy vegan and vegetarian friends here going forward, and would recommend this restaurant to everyone for nice meal with friends or a small dinner party!
Thanks Jonathan, for make this event fun and memorable.
Expect an authentic vibe with a diverse menu catering to various dietary preferences and a welcoming atmosphere.

We had a perfect meal at Vatan. Every dish is extremely unique with a different flavor profile, all complimentary to each other and beautifully arranged. Our server, Divisha, was joyful and observant. Very accommodating with my gluten allergy. Will tell all my friends.
Expect a vibrant spot with unique flavors, quick service, and a minimalist vibe perfect for dining in or taking out.

Super yum, fast service, friendly workers, good price point ($15-20), and they have great WiFi when I eat in. I always get the lentil falafel chaat bowl with half rice half salad. The roasted sweet potatoes with the coconut sauce was divine. Complex flavors, gluten free and vegan. Tastes fresh and healthy, not greasy or heavy!
Experience flavorful traditional Indian vegetarian dishes with a vast menu, perfect for everyone, and a cozy atmosphere that keeps you coming back.

For years, Dosa Delight has been my favorite restaurant in Jackson Heights. Whether dining in, taking out, or catering, they never disappoint. I highly recommend them as caterers for your next event, especially the palak paneer and samosa chaat. Dosa is also a great option if you have vegan and gluten-free guests. The amount and quality of food is unmatched, and they will absolutely be on-time and professional, making the entire party-hosting experience far less stressful. Even my Keralite parents approve of the dosa here. Management is extremely responsive, helpful, and polite. Thank you, Dosa Delight!
This spot is a vegetarian gem with a mouthwatering menu, perfect for anyone craving tasty Indian flavors and a variety of plant-based options.

It’s a nice place offering Jain, vegan , gluten free options. Gobi Manchurian, Onion Pakoda were amazing! We also had gunpowder Mysore dosa Jain and Masala Gunpowder dosa both were great too.. the only thing which was kinda okay wad medu vada, the taste was good but it was kinda hard, maybe it was just a bad batch. But everything else was just amazing. Definitely recommend it and would love to visit again

Aloo Goshti Kathi roll (lamb/potatoes) was sooooo delicious. I’ve come here for years but this was the first time I had that particular roll and I fell in love. It was just so good. I had the chickpea wrap, (the gluten free option). I highly recommend!

We've been semi-regulars and huge fans for more than a year, but I finally had to post a review when I saw the one-stars—are you kidding? This is our go-to spot in the neighborhood for both delivery and dine-in. The food is great, the staff is so kind and friendly, and we always have the best experience. We appreciate a well-labeled menu too as people with dietary restrictions. Everything is labeled for vegetarians, vegans, and those who are gluten-free. There's even vegan/gluten-free naan, and we are obsessed with the piazi. 100% recommend, tip well, support local restaurants!
Enjoy a family-friendly atmosphere with quick service and a delightful dessert, making it a favorite for a fantastic dining experience.

We cannot express how great of an experience our family had at Aahar. They helped us order gluten free foods and a fun mango drink for our 7 and 9 year old children. The food was amazing and the service was wonderful! They were very attentive and the food arrived rather quickly. They also gave us a complementary dessert. We all left full and spent about $15-20 per person.
Lots of delicious vegetarian/vegan/gluten-free options. They even have a Beyond Beef kathy roll! During the quarantine I pay online and head over for no-contact pick up.
Favorite vegetable korma (or they call it navratan) and saag paneer! Vegetarian and gluten free! Ask for papadam! Great raita too! Outdoor seating with a heater for covid safe!
Expect a chill vibe with a variety of shareable dishes and knowledgeable service that makes your meal feel special.

I love this restaurant, my favorite Indian restaurant I've ever been to! Definitely try the pani puri, it is unique and delicious. The service is excellent; I have to eat gluten free and they happily explained the entire menu to me, and there are so many options. Everything I've eaten there has been absolutely delicious. I wish I lived closer but regardless I gladly travel to have dinner at Angel. Don't hesitate, just go and try it!
A charming spot known for its vibrant atmosphere and consistency, it's a must-visit for anyone craving deliciously fresh flavors.

This is one of my favorite restaurants. All of the servers and staff are super nice, and the food is excellent. I’ve had dine-in service several times and regularly get takeout (maybe once a week on average). The food is high-quality and also very consistent in quality. There are also plenty of vegetarian and gluten-free options. I only have good things to say about this place!
Prepare for an unforgettable experience where delicious dishes bring joy and the diverse menu offers something for everyone!

I strongly recommend the restaurant. The food is very tasty, large menu with a large variety of options for gluten gree and vegan diets. I eat gluten-free and they are very knowledgeable. They even have gluten-free nans. They have very good deals for lunch and dinner menus. The staff is very nice and welcoming.
A bit on the expensive side, but delivers on time and offers a discount on your first order. Popular among locals, too!

Super Restaurant. Hatten nach etwas indisches gesucht und direkt ins schwarze getroffen. Ein gutes Zeichen für ein gutes Restaurant ist, wenn viele, in diesem Fall Inder, in dem Restaurant essen. Das war hier der Fall. Ich kann nur sagen, top. Essen sehr lecker. Personal super nett und der Jogurt drink, dessen Namen ich wieder vergessen habe, Super!
Ich kann nur empfehlen hier einmal essen zu gehen. Viele Glutenfreie Gerichte und vegatische Alternativen

I don't ordinarily post restaurant reviews on Facebook, but the OAO and I had a delicious meal at Neem Indian Cuisine (3549 Johnson Avenue, Riverdale, New York): full of color, flavor, and texture, and with the nicest most solicitous service imaginable. My wife is a gluten-sensitive vegetarian and I am a carnivore and we both concluded the meal with happy satiaed facial expressions. What could be better? I'll tell you: live Thursday night jazz from guitarist Joe Wittman and bassist Alex Claffy. All our senses were stimulated and gratified.
Authentic vibes and flavorful dishes make this cozy spot a must-visit, with generous portions and a fun BYOB option for groups.

Great food, atmosphere and service. Also good for gluten free with items labeled GF. The flavor was good in all our dishes, it’s not spicy but we didn’t request that either. My one note is that the gin tonic special cocktail was not actually very special (after asking about it we found out it was just a regular G&T and we didn’t order it). We got the lavender gin fizz and it was very good.
A top spot for tasty vegan options with a clear menu, making it easy to pick what suits your dietary needs effortlessly.

Ordered the Philly cheesesteak with a gluten free bun and lentil pancake and I was blown away. Almost tastes as good as the real thing. Definitely will be coming back and being my friends ! The Philly was flavorful, bread was fresh and warm.
This place is awesome. The owner was so friendly and gladly guided me through which foods were gluten free. My dish was incredible. If you like well spiced food, go here.

Omg gluten free Naan! Food was delicious and lots of gluten free options. The banana pakora were great and even the samosa were gluten free!
Consistently excellent and the service is attentive and friendly. Highly recommend the lamb korma and lamb chops (ask for mango chutney for the chops). Taste of India is also a great choice for anyone who has celiac disease and needs gluten free options.
Nice people. Everything was outstanding. Mix pakora was freshly made. They modified spinach pakora to make it gluten free for us. Paneer Tikka Masala was delicious. Loved the service!
A cozy hole-in-the-wall with quick service, it’s a perfect stop for filling, flavorful meals after a Central Park stroll.

Went here for lunch after a visit to Central Park and had some phenomenal food and such friendly service. The Chana masala, saag paneer, and tandoori chicken were all amazing. Our daughter has celiac (gluten free), tree nut and sesame allergies and they were able to accommodate us with no issues.
Flavorful dishes and generous portions make this spot a go-to for regular cravings, with plenty of options for everyone to enjoy!
