    One of the esteemed Indian dining establishments in the vicinity, I had the pleasure of patronizing this venue with acquaintances. Our visit took place on weekdays for brunch, and the attendant displayed commendable assistance and expertise. He recommended exquisite cocktails such as the Wheel of Fortune and Spicy Paloma, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Additionally, we opted for the Negroni, expertly crafted and balanced. Our selection of Crispy Okra & Bhel Chat leaned towards the drier side, lacking in appeal; nevertheless, the Beetroot Chat proved to be a delectable and artfully presented dish. For our main course, we savored the Channa Masala, Lamb Rogan Josh, and Chicken Tikka Masala from the lunch specials menu, which offered generously portioned and well-prepared meals. The Garlic Naan was a delightful accompaniment, freshly baked and soft in texture. The attendant remained attentive throughout our dining experience, ensuring our satisfaction and concluding with a complimentary serving of Gulab Jamun for dessert. I extend my gratitude for enhancing the dining experience for both myself and my companions. Undoubtedly, a charming and inviting Indian establishment suitable for brunches and romantic evenings. The menu boasts a variety of options, accommodating diverse dietary preferences. I wholeheartedly endorse this establishment, where the cuisine is meticulously prepared, delightful, and beautifully presented. In sum, a fine establishment.

    Cool spot just south of NYU. The food was excellent! We started out with the Madam Ji gobi which had excellent flavor but was a bit chewy. That was followed by the chicken Tikka kebabs which melted in our mouths and was delicious. It was a little spicy- really just right.For the large plates we had the vegetable korma which was a good size. We also had the chicken makhani which again featured incredibly moist chicken with a sauce so tasty we almost had to order more rice just to soak all up.Our server Suvee was delightful and attentive even though it was just her covering the whole floor. The food took a while to come out of the kitchen, but was worth the wait. We’ll be back!

    For reasonably priced modern Indian food, this is the spot. Located south of NYU, place has some tasty food that will keep you wanting more. Pro tip: go during happy hour which ends earlier than what the website says for affordable bites. We got the butter chicken fries, samosa chaat, and paneer! All were very tasty especially at that happy hour price point. The mango lassi no pictured was thick enough to drink without feeling like it was a workout.The main dish lamb was really good with tons of spices. The butter chicken main was also full of flavor and a bit spicy so be warned. Garlic naan was a good addition but not a required get.Staff was friendly but a bit slower than I’d like but bathroom were clean and vibes were nice.

    The food and service were excellent. The shrimp and lamb were both cooked perfectly and the sauces were very flavorful. The samosa appetizer was delicious. Our server, Chadu, answered all of our questions graciously.The meal ended with yummy rice pudding, on the house! We highly recommend Madame Jis! You wont be disappointed.

    We visited Madam Ji in NYC for a birthday celebration, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience! From the moment we arrived, the ambiance was warm and inviting, perfect for a special occasion.Our server, Alison, went above and beyond to ensure our group was well taken care of. His recommendations and attention to detail added a personal touch to the evening.The food was exceptional! The standout for me were the Ajwani Fish and Paneer Chilli Bao, which were both unique and delicious, and the Lamb Chops, which were perfectly cooked and packed with flavor.Madam Ji is a fantastic spot for anyone looking to enjoy modern Indian cuisine in a chic yet comfortable setting. The combination of stellar service and exquisite food made this birthday celebration unforgettable. Highly recommend!

    We stopped in on a night that SantaCon was going on outside. What a peaceful retreat from the chaos outside! The service was great. We had five dinners. We ordered family style: 2 breads, 1 appetizer, 3 entrees, and a little pickle and raita for the table. Along with cocktails—some specialty, one non-alcoholic, and a couple of beers, we felt the overall $$$ was good. Fair prices, excellent flavors, lovely service from Suvee. Would definitely recommend.

    First time in NYC was told by locals to try this place, amazing Indian food. Suvee was very helpful picking a dish and service was great! Highly reccomend the chicken saag/spinach curry.

    The food here was delicious! The mango beer was unique and accommodated the food perfectly. We had several items as a quick pop-in snack while exploring the neighborhood: Bao Bun and chipotle paneer, both delicious. Suvee was behind the bar and she is fantastic!!! Very generous with her hospitality and showed us a great time. Will come back for the full program!

    Amazing food and ambience. A bit pricey, but their menu is unique with plenty of options for vegetarians. We tried a butternut squash malabar curry for the first time and it was wonderful! Their eggplant aubergine and jalapeno cheddar naan were also delicious. Would recommend the lemon rice - this is the first place we found where the rice didnt disappoint - full of flavor and perfect with curry.Their cocktails werent as flavorful - the mango mule we got was more sugar syrup than mango, but they were boozy and when done right, they should be delicious.

    Cute little place with amazing food and brunch. We got the Chole Bhature, Lamb Burger, Pav Bhaji sliders and Butter Chicken Fries and each was better than the last. The service was amazing and kind! Highly recommended!

  • Review 23 (2019-11-05 - Rating: 4)

    Took advantage of a Pulsd deal (which is still available!): $49 for a three Course Dinner for two, including four cocktails.We went on a Sunday night - the only other person in the restaurant was a guy (who had already finished his meal), talking on his phone and trying to walk his co-worker through some work issue. It was nice to mostly have the entire place to ourselves.To start we ordered the Samosa. And, our selected entrees were the Nilgri Lamb and Crispy Salmon. The entrees are served with rice but we also ordered a naan. Everything was delicious!For drinks, I ordered the Bubbly Maharani - it was refreshing but by the end, became too sweet. My BF ordered their Old Fashioned and it was so good I ended up getting the same for my 2nd drink. They add a cardamom pod and a small cinnamon stick in the drink, which I liked. For dessert we tried the Gulab Juman (a version of an Indian donut). It was soaked in a slightly sweet syrup/sauce and was lovely.Cant wait to go back!

    Went to Madamji for brunch. Tried the bottomless deal, they didn’t inform us before the hour was up but overall a good deal. We tried the daal, butter chicken burger, eggs and aloo tikki burger. Everything tasted good except the chole bhature which were kind of mid

    Surya is the best Indian restaurant in Greenich Village . Their secret sauce is their bar .. They have a wild assortment of cocktails,beer, wine & Indian whiskey. Must try their butter chicken, fish tikka , samosas, mango lassi w a little something something for my alcoholic friends :) .. perfect location near everything. Friendly staff , competitive pricing.. check them out !

    Visiting from Toronto, we were craving authentic Indian food during our trip.We came across Madam Ji’s and were simply FLOORED by how delicious every single thing on the menu was. One of my most memorable NYC meals and the most authentic home made hearty tasting Indian food. Cannot wait to come back and dine here again! Well done. Please don’t ever change! It’s hard to come by well spiced well balanced meal that doesn’t water down the flavours. 👏🏼

    SO good!!!!! Gem of a place. Small plates were all delicious & unique. They really care about the quality of their food & drinks.

  • Review 30 (2018-04-11 - Rating: 5)

    Very legit Indian food with a wide variety of appetizers, vegetarian options, and drinks. My only complaint was that the portions were a bit small, but we did family style and ordered/shared a bunch of different things, and it worked out great. Great location, too, if you were hoping to go out afterwards!Might not be that great for giant groups - we were a party of 8 and had to make a reservation. I believe we had one of the only larger areas/tables in the restaurant.

  • Review 31 (2021-03-01 - Rating: 4)

    Another bomb brunch place by NYU. The Pav Bhaji sliders are great starters to share. The spicy potato purée is rich with a kick, and the dense flavor is cut nicely with fresh, acidic topping.The butter chicken sandwich unfortunately came with burnt toast and was a bit difficult to eat. Chicken was a bit dry but overall spices made up for it.Can’t go wrong with kahlua and irish whiskey in the same glass. Will come back for bottomless brunch.

  • Review 32 (2017-10-17 - Rating: 4)

    Nice place and good ambience. Their menu was short and simple. We ordered tandoori ginger chicken and chicken biryani. Tandoori chicken was amazing, biryani was ok. Service was amazing.

    The food at Madamji is genuinely amazing but the service even better!! My fifth time going here and tonight we ordered Mangalore chicken, Delhi style paneer, and Malai Kofta. A friend had a nut allergy but our server, Ellison was wonderful. He helped us through the menu and triple checked with the chefs that there was no contamination. He also played great Bollywood tunes 🔥 thank you!

    The place is beautiful. Pictures online do not do this place justice. Food was amazing, ambiance was nice too, music was nice, not too loud. Service was good and food was tasty and full of flavor. For appetizers we had the cauliflower and chilli pepper fry. It was finger licking good. For Entree had the Lamb Korma, Goat Ghee Roast, and Chicken curry for entree, butter chicken. I reccomend this place. Note that gratuity is already included in the bill.

    Chole Bhature is to die for..... hands down the best Chole Ive had in NJ/NY/CT. The chole was perfectly cooked like melt-in-your mouth kinda feel sooooo daammmnn goooooodd. Bhatura was perfectly crispy on outside and fluffy on the inside. The vada pav was also very good as well.

The fries were wonderfully smothered in the sauce but crispy. So tasty and wonderful, I loved it.

    We were wandering around the West Village before a show at the Bitter End just across Bleeker Street. Indian food sounded good, so we had dinner here. Excellent as could be. This is it not standard Indian fare (which we love). Each dish is distinctive, conceived and prepared with knowledge and care. As are the cocktails. Fine service, too.Now I want more. The only problem is that I live 2500+ miles away! We’ll go back next time we visit the city.

    I eat at Madam Ji for their lunch specials about once a week because their food is excellent quality and very delicious at a reasonable price. Everything is cooked fresh and the naan comes to your table right out of the oven. A great place to go on your lunch break to unwind in their relaxing atmosphere. The service is great and Ive had quite a few nice conversations with Chondu who is very friendly and gives attentive service. There arent really a lot of other places to get Indian food in the immediate area, so its a much needed staple in the neighborhood. If you stop in at Madam Ji you will not be disappointed!

  • Review 67 (2023-11-19 - Rating: 4)

    Came here with my long-term partner who was on call for the evening. We enjoyed the butter chicken dish, chicken chili bao, garlic naan, and an aperol sprtiz to drink. We were expecting a larger portion for the pricing, for example, 3 or 4 chicken baos rather than 2. Nevertheless, the meal was delicious and the restaurant was beautifully decorated inside.

    Surya was amazing. Great food. Excellent service. A little pricey but definitely worth it. Our server/ bartender was very knowledgeable, polite, gave great suggestions and was very friendly. The food was phenomenal but what was most impressive was how the staff (not just our server but also the host and others) were very attentive and made sure our food and experience was the best it could be. My date is a VERY complicated eater but she was beyond impressed and still cant stop talking about the vegetable samosa, cauliflower chili fry, the ginger chicken, and the chicken vindaloo. Incredible! I strongly suggest the Indian Rose cocktail. It was aromatic, refreshing, and beautiful to look at. We will be telling everyone we know.

    Walking into this restaurant, I had high expectations, but little did I know I’d walk away with a meal that would redefine comfort food for me. The star of the show was their dhaba wali daal, a luscious bowl of slow-cooked black lentils and kidney beans simmered to a creamy, velvety texture with just the right amount of smokiness. Each bite was like a warm, inviting hug – earthy, rich, and incredibly flavorful. The spices were beautifully balanced, and the creaminess left me wondering how something so simple could taste so extraordinary.Paired with a mango mimosa, the experience was refreshingly unexpected. The drink was light, with a perfect blend of tartness from the mango and the crispness of the sparkling wine. It provided a bright contrast to the depth of the daal, bringing in a sweet, tropical note that somehow felt like a match made in culinary heaven.This was more than just a meal – it was a moment of pure comfort and indulgence, a taste of home, even if home was half a world away. If you’re looking to experience Indian cuisine in its most comforting and luxurious form, this restaurant is a must.

    Chandu and Keven are the best. Served us amazing food and gave us the best drink. Madajmi is the best for bottomless brunch.

    Delicious food and excellent atmosphere ⭐️Sunny did a great job serving us. Really loved the lamb chop appetizer and the “Naomi surprise” bartender special cocktail

    Solid all around Indian cuisine. My fiancé had a very nice tomato soup my mulligatawny soup was also quite nice. We liked the chili garlic shrimp starter as well as our main courses, the butter chicken and the lamb chettinad. The standout was the rich flavor of the tomato soup, other than that we were generally happy with the food but nothing else stood out considering the prices, which were a little above average I’d say for this cuisine.

    * Very good food, good ambience, friendly and attentive wait staff, good location on Bleecker.* Roughly $$ (dinner was about $200 for 5 of us, inclusive of tax & tip).* Dishes we loved: Dal tadka, Dal makhni, Coconut curry shrimp, Ajwain Fish Tikka (appetizer), Garlic naan / bread.* Suggested improvements:- Methi malai matar: didn’t taste the methi.- Coconut curry shrimp: Reduce mustard seeds, they leave a bitter aftertaste.Overall, liked our dining experience very much!!

    My friend and i absolutely loved this place. amazing food and service. we ordered the delhi style makhani as our main entree; the tenderness of the chicken and spice level of the sauce was incredible. we also recommend getting the chili bao and garlic naan. our waiter was chandu he had a great friendly personality and was very cute overall! thank you chandu and thank you madam ji for a great dinner experience. mind you this is my first time i’ve felt inclined to write a review. ig: @diionnx

    Great Indian food. And the naan is awesome. Had a fantastic Christmas Eve dinner with family. Portions were perfect, with little left over. This is our go to Indian on the island and live way uptown. Worth a trip.

    I had a wonderful dining experience at Madamji recently. The staff (Chandu and Kevin) were fantastic and the food was delicious. We highly recommend the Sanskrit Sip from the cocktails along with the Achari Mushroom, Chili Bao, Tandoori Tasting Board for 2 and gulab jamun. All the dishes were cooked well and flavored nicely.

    Casual place to get Indian food. We went in a small group of 5 people and everyone had wanted to eat different things, Im a vegetarian and someone else was a vegan and the rest wanted non-vegetairan food. This place was able to cater to us all.The food was delicious and I will definitely be going again. @traveleen_gurl

    Absolutely flavorful, we tried pani-puri (gol gappa) and it bursted with flavors, it reminded us of the Indian streets. The other food items were delicious as well. Cocktails were not so great

  • Review 110 (2018-10-16 - Rating: 5)

    Authentic and delicious place for Indian food. Love the vibe and music here. They played a modern take on Indian music that really enhanced the overall dining experience without it being obtrusive. The staff was friendly and attentive. We had the papadam and lamb biryani, both were top notch and delicious. My only critique would be, give me more papadam! Haha. Cheers

    •THE COOKBOOK•Vegetable Samosa❤️.Baby Lamb Chops☺️.Chicken Mixed Kebab💪🏼.Uncle Manoki Shrimp Curry🙌🏽.Lamb Biryani😍.Lasuni Gobi💥•THE CHEF•“My family moved to the US in the 90s. My dad was an executive chef at an Indian restaurant, earning $300 per month. We never had anything. At the age of 14 I started to work at Subway, cleaning dishes and preparing sandwiches. By 18 I owned two Subways and had become one of the youngest franchisers. For me, success is a function of both hard and smart work. I knew I had to do everything I could, if I wanted to make it in this industry. I never thought I would become a chef like my father; I just somehow slipped into it and never looked back. I just really love what I do..Our cuisine ranges from traditional to modern Indian. We have a lot of traditional dishes that are presented in a modern way. I personally love to add color and texture to every dish, as its a form of artistic expression for me. Moreover, it is common knowledge that we all eat with our eyes first and foremost..For me, one of the most crucial aspects of owning a restaurant is investing in ones team – it’s all about the people. We all will grow together, it’s never just me. My team also have families they need to take care of. If I don’t make it, they don’t make it. Thats why training is so critical to success. Moreover, it gives me the opportunity to let go and to spend time with my family as well as to help everyone else grow..At the end of the day; all you need is to be passionate about your job and come in with a positive attitude. That positivity can have a ripple effect and spread from an owner to their team, a team to their clients, the clients to their families, and in tut the community as a whole.“ (Abishek Chef/Owner @surya_nyc_)•

    Small cozy Indian restaurant, with a lively atmosphere and beautiful decor. The space was very effectively used, in that the seating was well spaced without feeling crowded or as if youre too close to others. The food was simple but tasty, and the portions were good. The service was fast and efficient, and the servers were very friendly and polite. They offer a bottomless option of $45 for an entree and 60 mins of unlimited mimosas.

    Went for a good restaurant week thali at this place. The food was good. They also made exception to the non-vegetarian dishes for our vegetarian friends. The servers were very polite which is so rare in NYC these days. I loved the food but would have liked it more if it was made extra spicy as per my request, had pickels, onion and papad in their menu. They do add the tip into the bill itself so a word of caution there. The restaurant Week thali overall was very good deal especially paired with wine. Will come again for Pav Bhaji.
