Saar Indian Bistro

“Having explored Indian cuisine across more than 20 states in the U.S., I can confidently say that today’s meal at Saar Indian Cuisine & Bar was the best I’ve had. The Kadai Mushroom, Onion Kulcha, and Garlic Naan were absolutely delicious, and the tea was the perfect way to finish the meal. This experience deserves far more than just 5 stars! A special thank you to Tasnim and the entire team for the outstanding service and authentic flavors. If you are in New York and looking for the best Indian food, this is the place to be!" Thanks so much”

“Saar serves one of the best biryanis I’ve ever had! The rice is perfectly cooked, the spices are rich and flavorful, and the meat is always tender and juicy. Every bite tastes fresh and authentic. The portions are generous, and the service is friendly too. If you’re a biryani lover, Saar is definitely a place you should try. Highly recommended!”

“Solo diner off the lunch menu, the food was hot and delicious! My waitress, Tasnim, was covering as a bartender and though claimed to be inexperienced did a wonderful job with both of my drinks and provided great service. The decor is very nice, and I felt well taken care of. Will def come back to try other items off the menu! With tip, I did spend a pretty penny but worth it *to me* Ordered: Sparkling water 2 cocktails (blanking on the name, but it’s the one with the tamarind vodka) Samosa tasting Butter chicken Garlic naan (OMG SO GOOD)”

“Happy hour (12:30-6pm everyday) at the bar review. The drinks were practically free! Well, $4 for beers and $5 for flavored margaritas. The drinks were large and flavorful - surprisingly good was the tamarind one which was flavored with Indian spices (like masala tea is flavored, although IDK exactly which spices). The tandoori chicken ($10, a drum and a thigh?) was juicy and delicious. The tasty chili paneer ($8) was a stir-fry with red and green peppers. The biggest disappointment was the deep fried chicken wings ($10, 3 PCs), which had barely any flavor and overpriced for what you get as most places are $2 +/- a wing. Off the regular menu, we ordered garlic chili naan ($6) which was fluffy and had a kick but I couldn’t discern any garlic; I would get the regular naan next time. The bar was half full on a Thursday 5pm visit. Feb 2026”

“Came here for lunch as we were looking for a spot in theater district. It was pretty quiet coming in, and we were seated right away. We started with the lasooni kebab and prawn balchao for apps. The lasooni kebab was pretty good, but we did not enjoy the prawn at all. It had a very fishy taste and seemed slightly too undercooked for our liking. For mains we shared the black pepper chicken and lamb rogan Josh with garlic naan on the side. Both curries were good. The lamb pieces were very tender and the black pepper chicken had good flavor and was spicy.”
