Maskali Indian Cuisine is a must-visit! The food was phenomenal - the Afghani chicken was incredibly juicy, & the butter naan paired perfectly with the rich chicken curry. & let's not forget the chai, it was spot on! The staff, especially Hari Krishna, were outstanding. His hospitality was top-notch, making the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend trying their Afghani chicken & savoring the flavors of India!

peaceful & quiet ambiance (granted it was on a weekday at 3pm). Food was rly flavorful! However, bits of the chicken from the butter chicken tasted a bit hard & looked a bit burnt beneath the sauce.

I had the Tandoori Chicken, Chili Chicken, & the Lamb Curry & it was amazing. The flavors were very layered & better than most of the Indian food I've had in NYC. I would completely recommend this place if you're in the mood for Indian food!
