Bengal Tiger Indian Food

“May 2026: Came here for dinner on a Wednesday evening. Just flew in from San Francisco and was craving some comfort food. Had roti, saag paneer and the aloo golbi matar. Everything was delicious 😋. Service was friendly and attentive. Would definitely come back again for more delicious Indian food.”

“This place is hands-down the best! I am sure to stop in every time I come to NYC. I highly recommend the samosas (meat and vegetarian), the chicken korma and makhani, and the kheer makes for a refreshing dessert. Entrees are served piping hot, fresh and full of flavor. Service is unparalleled — each person we encountered at our most recent visit was attentive and kind. Their new space is elegant yet warm and welcoming (like a hot cup of their chai). Bengal Tiger is a must-try!”

“Butternut Squash Soup: Unfortunately, this wasn’t my favorite part of the meal and didn’t quite meet my expectations. • Chicken Tikka Masala & Chicken Korma: Both dishes were enjoyable, but the flavors felt very similar to each other. The main difference was that one was slightly saltier than the other. In my experience at other Indian restaurants, these dishes usually have more distinct flavor profiles. • Rasmalai: A nice way to finish the meal. I enjoyed it overall. Overall, it was a decent experience and I’m glad I gave it a try. While some dishes didn’t stand out for me personally🙌🏼”

“Went to Bengal Tiger for dinner on a weekday evening. It was well marked and easy to find. I didn’t have a reservation, but I was seated promptly. The restaurant was fairly busy. The restaurant felt roomy and had decent ambiance. I looked over the menu and decided to go with the fixed price 3-course menu. Choose to get the soup for appetizer, malai kofta as the main and the rasmalai for dessert (it’s an extra dollar to get the rasmalai over the plate the other two choices). The meal is served with rice but I decided to get a naan so I ordered that as an extra. I also got a raita for an extra charge. Overall, I really like the atmosphere and the service was very good and efficient. So I’ve given them 5-starts. However, I thought the food taste was very average. The soup was hot and thick but really didn’t taste particularly good. The kofta itself really didn’t have any flavor and the gravy was just ok. The raita wasn’t any better. So I gave the food just 3-stars. What I did like is that they have a three course menu that works for a single diner. As I wrote earlier, I also really liked the service. I wish the meal came with the choice of rice or naan rather than only rice. I also wish the dishes had greater depth of flavor. I would not recommend this restaurant for anyone looking to have a great Indian meal, I think there are several other excellent choices in the city. However, for someone looking for a quick meal this works.”

“3.3 stars. With light snow falling and temperatures dropping, we were craving serious Indian food to warm us up. We arrived around 4:30 without reservations but were seated without any issues. It took about ten minutes though before we had our orders taken as the team seemed to have some coordination issues. We all went for the Prix Fixe option ($28 pp) which included one appetizer, one entree, and one dessert. We added three naan (coconut, rosemary, cheese) for $15. Our son had a Chai ($4) too. Food was brought out after about 15 minutes. Flavors were average though. All-in for dinner for our family was right at $165.”
