Came here for brunch and decided to try a little of everything. We got the papdi chat to start as an appetizer. They prepped it right in front of us, which...

Dhamaka was good, but I was pretty shocked it was on Michelin's Bib Gourmand list. It's definitely not a cheap place, with vegetarian entree priced at $36...

Delighted by the innovative Indian twist in their various omelet offerings, I found the culinary experience truly unique. The sandwich, while decent, didn't quite match the level of creativity. A minor inconvenience surfaced as orders were restricted to a single placement. In conclusion, if you're seeking distinctive Indian flavors beyond the usual menu, this place is worth exploring!

Our go to spot whether we have guests or not!! As soon as a reservation opens up, we book it asap! Every veg and non veg we’ve tried has been spectacular!! Having both non veg and veg family members, it meets everyone’s requirements and expectations!! Can’t go wrong!! A great twist on dishes!! Atmosphere and music is great!! The service is quick and the employees are very friendly and helpful!! Eddie has by far been our favorite every time we visit, so polite and helpful!! Thanks guys!!🥘🍺🤤

Recommend as the best Indian restaurant in nyc but I have to disagree. Everything was bland and just not tasty. Spice level was there but flavor was not. We ordered the best dishes and the most recommended and it left us quite disappointed. There are better Indian restaurants in nyc than this one.

Located next to a busy street in Essex Market, every single dish at Dhamaka was super tasty. From the chapli kebab to the paneer methi to the big pot lamb biryani, everything was delicious. To top it off, they had an amazing wine list and super friendly staff that walked us through the entire menu (maybe a bit too much word vomiting tho). Unfortunately, the portions, especially on the appetizers, are extremely small. If you're coming with a party of 4+, consider ordering two portions instead, otherwise everyone will have just a tiny bite. The curry and biryani were more meant to be shared. But even still, we left somewhat hungry. I'd say this is more of a spot for a party of 2, and maybe read up on the wine list beforehand ;)

The best Indian restaurant I have ever been to. The flavors are so good. It’s definitely a blast of different flavors in your mouth. I liked the paneer- haven’t had such fresh paneer in any restaurant. Restaurant menu seems expensive but it’s totally worth it. Do not expect large quantities for the price. Note: Its better to go as a group since you can try different types of dishes.
