They’ve relocated to this much nicer, spacious, and premium location. The food is incredible. I tried the Kadhai Panner, Garlic Naan, Tandoori Roti, and Dahi Puri, and everything was delicious. The portions were satisfying, and the price point was fair for New York City. The staff, Mr. Azar and Mr. Prathmesh, were also very friendly. The chef, from the Punjab region of India, brings authentic flavors into the food. They even offer free chutney and papad to all tables, which is not only rare but also very thoughtful & nice of them. Will keep returning!
Delicious food. We made a reservation for my birthday dinner here and when we arrived we were promptly seated. The food was delicious and the balance of heat and spice were handled expertly. We will be back. Sometimes the hype is worth the visit.
Had an amazing experience at Angel didn't grab a photo but the fresh lime soda was amazing. This is a cozy indian place serving dishes right out of a very homely kitchen, none of the dishes feel restauranty and feel made with lots of love and spices.
Delicious food , portions are large and each item cooked with care . I have never tasted biriyani in US that tastes as authentic. The biriyani has meat in large portion and is soft perfectly cooked and melts in the mouth . Our server Adbul was genuinely welcoming . This place is worth every penny spent here. I am very glad we chose this from the list of about few … “10 best Indian restaurants” in NYC 😊
it was a lovely experience! The food were delicious every dish was bursting with flavor. We had butter chicken, bhindi masala, aloo tiki chat, paneer pb35. Plus garlic naan and fave amul cheese naan! We also got mango lassi. The service was warm and attentive, making us feel right at home. The cozy atmosphere made it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a great meal. A special highlight was getting to chat with the chef himself Chef Amrit! such a friendly and passionate person who clearly loves what he does. Can’t wait to come back!
Angel Indian Restaurant in NYC is absolutely amazing. The lamb tandoori is top-tier juicy, tender, and perfectly spiced. Chicken tandoori was straight fire, full of smoky flavor and cooked just right. Every bite tasted fresh and authentic. The seasoning and marinade really stand out. Portion sizes are generous and totally worth it. The aroma alone makes you hungry instantly. Service was friendly and welcoming. Great spot for real Indian food lovers. Definitely coming back again and highly recommended. 🔥
I had an amazing experience at Angel with my family. The paneer was incredible and imo the best paneer in nyc. The service was also great and they were really accommodating. Our server Prathamesh was super kind and knowledgeable. We also had the amazing experience of meeting the chef and owner himself, Amritpal Singh, who happened to sit down next to us and eat with his family! We had a lovely conversation with him about his experiences and passion for cooking. It was extra special because we were celebrating my dad’s birthday and they really made sure we had the best experience possible and also sang happy birthday and gave us some complimentary kheer. Highly recommend the fresh lime soda, pani puri, samosa chaat, kadai paneer, and paneer kulcha! Will definitely be back soon.
I was so impressed by this restaurant! The food is delicious and the service is exceptional. There were tons of vegetarian and vegan options which is exactly what I was looking for. I am definitely coming back to this super cute place. I totally recommend!
One of the best Indian restaurants in NYC. Each dish we had topped the previous ones. We had a great samosa chaat and dahi batata puri. The dahi in the dahi batata puri was perfectly thick too. The lotus kofta and kadhai paneer then came out alongside the amritsari kulcha. Each item was incredibly flavorful. The piece de resistance was the dum biryani. The vegetables were perfectly cooked and felt tender. The service was amazing too! I strongly recommend getting a reservation here as seating is a bit limited.
Angel Indian Restaurant in Jackson Heights absolutely lives up to the hype—and the Michelin-star chef recommendation by Vikas Khanna feels well deserved. From the moment the food hit the table, it was clear this is a place that takes traditional Indian flavors seriously while executing them with precision and heart. Amritsari Lassi The meal started on a high note with the Amritsari lassi—thick, creamy, and perfectly balanced. Not overly sweet, not too tangy, just deeply refreshing and indulgent. It felt authentic, like something you’d get in Punjab, and was the perfect companion to the bold flavors that followed. Samosa Chaat The samosa chaat was a flavor bomb. Crispy samosas broken down and layered with chickpeas, yogurt, chutneys, and spices—sweet, tangy, spicy, and crunchy all at once. Each bite had contrast and depth, and it never felt soggy or heavy. Street food comfort elevated to restaurant-level execution. Chicken Tandoori Starter The chicken tandoori was beautifully cooked—juicy on the inside with a smoky, charred exterior. The marinade penetrated deeply, giving the chicken layers of flavor rather than just surface spice. The fresh herbs and chutney on the side added brightness and balance. Goat Dum Biryani The star of the meal. The goat dum biryani was rich, aromatic, and deeply satisfying. Long-grain rice infused with whole spices, tender goat that fell apart effortlessly, and that unmistakable dum-cooked aroma when you dig in. This is slow-cooked comfort food done right—robust, soulful, and memorable. Amazing food
