Banjara Indian Restaurant, New York

- 95% 

Since they didnt have very many of the standard veggies ( like channa saag ) I ordered a mushroom and pea dish that was very good although I did use some lime pickle to kick up the heat and add a little saltiness. more»

In particular, the chicken at Banjara is the best in the city, in my opinion -- it is the most tender and the tastiest. more»

The food here was absolutely incredible, the wine list was reasonable, the lighting was right, and the wait staff was very helpful and friendly, and there was plenty of them. more»

The service was also excellent, although I can not say whether it was due to us being the only customers on that ugly day. more»

Banjara has made a menu that showcases both classic and contemporary Indian dishes. The key is in the spices that they use- dishes are prepared using age old recipes however, spices are used sparingly which in turn helps make the menu subtle and therefore, unique. The atmosphere is romantic with authentic Indian décor setting the tone. If your favorite Indian dish is not on the restaurant's menu rest assured, the talented culinary staff will bend over backwards to tempt your specific cravings regardless. Notable menu selections include the Adraki Chop (fresh ginger-flavored lamb chops marinated in chef's special sauce and grilled in the clay oven,) Salan Curry (choice of lamb or chicken cooked with garlic and ginger in Jalabor sauce,) Mushroom Hari Moti (diced mushroom and green peas create a dish that looks like delectable green beads) and the Achar Ghost (hot but not overpowering lamb or chicken cooked with a special Indian pickle.) No matter what the occasion calls for or your appetite demands, the friendly staff at Banjara looks forward to serving you soon.
