This is the best Indian restaurant in the UES. The food is AMAZING, great atmosphere, reasonable prices, service is top notch. Their naan is to die for.
Came to OM on Valentine's Day without a reservation with my bf and was able to sit at the bar. Service was great and friendly! The food was super yummy... and strong drinks. I'm a big fan of Lamb Korma and OMs is up there with being one of my favorites! We will deff be back
We made a reservation for a late lunch on a Sunday afternoon in their outdoor seating. There's so much outdoor seating available! When we called to make the reservation they were very accommodating. The server was very nice and attentive. The food was delicious, we split a lamb Rogan Josh, chicken tikka masala, malai kofta and garlic naan. It also smelled very good inside.
A wanted to try this place since it's been a while since we had Indian food. Food was good and service was good. It wasn't very busy inside so it was quiet. We both got drinks. A got the mango martini which was amazing and I got some sort of mango lassi with alcohol which wasn't very good. It was too rum forward I think. Food wise, I got the chicken curry, A got the chicken tikka masala, and naan. The curry was well seasoned and spiced. It was cooked perfectly and not too spicy. A's tikka masala was also very flavorful and seasoned well. He liked it a lot. However, it is a bit pricey and while he did like his dish, A wasn't too impressed by it. He said it didn't blow him away. So this is a maybe I'll go back place but only for special occasions.
Came here for date night with my boyfriend for dinner on a Friday night and made a reservation through OpenTable. The service was really great -- super friendly and attentive staff willing to answer our questions about the food and menu items. We got the samosas (comes with 2) and the Tandoori Panir to start. Both were good but I preferred the samosas. Overall, the food was good I just thought my chicken tikka masala was a bit dry. But overall, great portion and value. You just have to order the naan separately but the entrees come with a side of rice. I will also say the draft from the door opening and closing made dining a little uncomfortable but maybe I'd grab a seat further away from the door next time. Thank you!
Best Indian takeout in the area & I've tried them all! When you ask for spicy, they make it spicyyy. Faves are the mutter paneer and Bhurjee. They have many flavored naan & roti options. Prices are average, and well worth it.
