Food was good. Portion size could be a bit larger. Service was great. Ambiance was also great. Would take my significant other here if I could.

Came here with a few friends for iftar dinner. It was quite the cultural experience and a great place to come break your fast. Interior was beautifully decorated as you can see in the photos. It was little dimly lit when we first walked in, however, once the sun set, they're lighting really made the ambience something to vie for. The food came out quickly once the sun set. Everything was absolutely amazing. Samosa chaat was seasoned well and you can taste all the spices and flavors from the cucumber mint chutney to their tamarind spice. The chili wings were tender, juicy and seasoned well. Weren't over fried as other places tend to do. The apps themselves almost filled me up because I get going back for more. I got the lamb bowl as an entree. It had a nice kick to it with their curry and I have a relatively high spice tolerance so reader beware if you want to try. Lamb was cooked perfect. I couldn't think of anything I didn't like. Would come here again! Give this place a try!

I'm generally a huge fan of Indian food, and Paratha Wala offers a slightly modernized take on the classics. I've tried a couple of their rolls, and each one is a perfect portion with well balanced ingredients. The beef curry was delicious, with perfectly tender meat, and the rose basil lemonade is a refreshing standout. Paratha Wala is a little more expensive than most of the other Indian restaurants I've been to, but it makes sense for the overall vibe, plus the prices are average for the neighborhood. The portions are also smaller than most Indian places - not great for tons of leftovers, but perfect for an evening out without taking part of your meal to go. I've gotten takeout several times and dined in once, and I'll definitely come back for the happy hour deals (I forgot what cocktails I ordered, but I remember that they were delicious!). Every time I've come in, the staff has been super friendly and even offered recommendations. Service is fast for takeout or dining in, and the place is clean and super cute! It's a great spot for hanging with friends or a cozy date, would definitely recommend!

The food was fresh and absolutely delicious. Me and my husband both had the chicken tikka bowl. I also had the mango lassi and it was amazing. It wasn't overly sweet which is great because it was the perfect balance. We both loved it and will def come here again. They def have us hooked. The decor is cute and modern. The restaurant is not too big but it's great for small groups. It's located on Metropolitan avenue in Forest hills, there is tons of street parking usually so parking shouldn't be an issue.

Wow! Paratha Wala is actually amazing! I randomly walked by and the decor inside caught my eye so I decided to go inside. The service here by the server, Janelle, was fantastic, I wanted steak and she recommended the lamb chops with mashed potatoes which were so juicy and fresh. The lentil soup was the best I've ever had, also super fresh and tasty. Now, let's talk about their drinks- that Wala Iced Chai was so good, I had two. Overall, as a beverage manager, I love to see restaurants offering an extensive mocktail menu. Their boozy menu also looked fun. And they're open til 10p on a Sunday! I highly recommend Paratha Wala if you're looking for both great food and drinks! Bravo!

Great food and service. Really liked the samosa chaat, fish taco and the rice pudding. Would come back again just for the rice pudding.

Super cute lunch stop over the weekend. The menu has a lot of options, but I un creatively chose the name sake. Our server, Hyat was attentive we appreciated her care. There was so rush after we finished our meal we had some tea and chatted. I enjoyed the ambiance. All tables were full when we were there so it was pretty energetic. I did also notice they have a little games section which was thoughtful. My only comment would be to ask how sauced you want your food. Some dishes were overwhelmed with sauce or chutneys. The food was good and spoke for itself beyond the garnishes. Perhaps sauce on the side would have been the way to go in the future. Indian eats with a modern flair.

I was looking for an Indian place in the area for dinner. I found this place. I'm so glad I came here. I ordered the chai tea, samosas, garlic paratha, saag paneer and butter chicken. We also had the gulab jamun. Everything was incredibly delicious and flavorful. Our server, Amani, was very attentive and friendly as well. I'll definitely come back here again. I've been to many Indian restaurants; this was by far my favorite one, with fresh and yummy food. I can't wait to stop back here.

Had a late weekend lunch dining in at this neighborhood spot. All of our dishes arrived quickly and were delicious and consistent with past orders we have experienced here. We ordered Samosa chaat, butter chicken, lamb kadai and some roti and garlic paratha. These are our go-to's and hit the spot. I preferred the paratha over the roti. The entrees each came with a bowl of white rice. Service was friendly and helpful. The tables for two are "cozy" but adequate and ours became a bit crowded with the many dishes we ordered but it worked.

Super tasty Indian food. We got the Samosas appetizer, Butter Paneer, and Garlic Paratha (with extra garlic). I really liked having horseradish sauce to go with the samosas. The spices in the paneer were numerous and a flavorful blend. My only complaint is that the paneer was crumbled too finely. I prefer to have identifiable chunks of paneer. Highly recommend. Also a great, classic ice cream place, Eddie's, just down the street.
