Our Guestbook
“ In a city with so many choices for every type of food, it's hard to find places that distinguish themselves over other similar cuisines. Utsav did itself proud! We visited at lunch hoping for a buffet but ended up ordering a la carte. We had veg samosa, lamb biryani, palak paneer and garlic naan. Wow - it was all so delicious. We have eaten in India many, many times; and we found this to be even better than that. The restaurant has an upscale look and feel. There's cloth napkins and table cloths. The service was good as well, even with many full tables. We visit NYC many times per year, and we now have our Indian restaurant in the city! Sorry no pictures, we were too busy eating! ”
“ Came here for my birthday dinner, and I liked that the restaurant has a Bengali menu. Restaurant is spacious, and the waitstaff is attentive and prompt. The food was delicious! The puchka (pani puri) was reminiscent of my childhood. I enjoyed the kadai paneer and chicken biriyani. I had the mishti doi for dessert, and once again...reminiscent of my childhood. The flavors were wonderful in all the dishes we tried, and the drinks were strong. I'll definitely be back! ”
“ Came here for a Diwali event. Enjoyed the food that was served at the event as well as the drinks. Mango Lassi is delicious. The Butter Chicken is fantastic. I took more of that sauce just to mix it in with the jasmine rice, game changer. Also great with the naan bread. Gotta end it with Gulab Jamun. ”
“ I took my family to this restaurant while we were visiting New York. Ambience is good. We ordered daal tadka, jain daal, papad, jeera rice, tandoori roti, bengan bharta. Taste was good but the service was too slow considering there were handful of customers. The only surprise was the price of water bottle. $8 for a liter of water bottle which costs less than $2. That's ridiculous. ”
“ Hard to find but worth it! You have to go down either 46th or 47th past Ave of Americas and then you will see a sign. The restaurant part is on the second floor when you walk into the building. The food here is incredible, and is a little bit spicy so be prepared for that. ”
“ Utsav is located in Midtown Manhattan near Times Square. The seating was uncomfortably close together for how empty the restaurant was for a Friday evening... Taking pride for its Indo-Chinese and traditional Indian cuisine, the restaurant has a mix of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options that cater to all palates. The food at Ustav was flavorful and beautifully presented. The paneer tikka masala was another highlight, with generous chunks of paneer in a tangy, slightly sweet sauce. The biryani packed a punch of spices and flavor while the rice was aromatic. Portions are small considering that traditionally these meals are eaten family style. ”
“ Stopped at this place after visiting Rockefeller center. Very spacious restaurant unlike other NY restaurants which tend to be cramped. Nice decor. Crispy chilli babycorn and Chilli prawns (dry) were spicy and awesome. Chicken Haryali Kabab was one of the best I had. Bhetki Macher Paturi (a bengali fish dish) was nice but I would have preferred gravy. Chilli garlic noodles and Chicken in manchurian sauce were both very good. Only reasons this place gets a 4 star instead of 5 are: 1. The Cocktail (Tiki tamarind) was too watery (less alcohol). For $16, it was a ripoff. 2. The entree and appetizers were pricey but portions were less. I would suggest charging a bit more but give your patrons large hearty portions. ”
“ Overall a nice restaurant in Times Square with incredible service! I came with friends on a Sunday afternoon and found the place very clean and spacious, which is a luxury in this area of NYC! I liked the food, especially the saag paneer. I thought the chicken tikka would have been better with better cuts of chicken; my pieces were mostly gristle. The malai kofta wasn't quite what I was expecting either. Overall, I would come back! ”
