Reviews for Indigo Indian Bistro

Ratings_icons Affordable Indian Food

Jodi M. | insider_guru Insider Guru | Rank: 275

Walking down Columbus Ave, you can smell this little hole-in-the-wall place long before you get to it. Stop in, Particularly at lunch time. The samossa's are fresh and warm and the Nan is fresh baked. One time we did have a chicken Tikka Marsala when the chick was undercooked, so be sure to check the food carefully. The lunch special was half price of the entire bill. For a great at an affordable price you can't do much better.

Pros: Excellent food, good prices
Cons: Small (a little cramped) and check the meats carefully.

Ratings_icons My VERY FAVE Indian Restaurant

nam1125

i am absolutely addicted to Indigo Indian Restaurant. I order it for delivery at least twice a week and whenever i have guests in town, i always take them to lunch here!! They have the most amazing prix fixe lunch menu which is ridiculously cheap, but you would think you are eating the most expensive Indian food in the world b/c it is TRULY DELICIOUS!!! The chef is Indian and I always tell him that he cooks the best Indian food in all of NYC. If you like spice, ask them to make your dish hot and oh my goodness.......it will make you sweat!! But i love the Indian spices so I usually order it HOT every other time!! If you are on the Upper West Side and you love Indian food, you MUST come eat here!!!

Pros: prix fixe menu, chicken curry, chana masala, naan!!

Cons: none!!

Ratings_icons My favorite Indian restaurant ever!!

My husband and I are HUGE Indian food fans and we have tried so many places throughout the city, but every single time we say "It's not as good as Indigo." Thank goodness, we live on the Upper West Side, which is where it is located. We order it at least once a week and get it delivered. I get teh chicken curry and he gets something with chick peas, i think Chana Marsala. We also try different appetizers and love everything we've ever ordered. There chicken breast is by far the best with NEVER any fat. It is always the best pieces of chicken. I really cant say enough good things about this Indian restaurant. I absolutley HAVE to eat Indigo every single week.

Pros: Hands down best Indian Food--Great price

Ratings_icons Not as exceptional.. but quiet nice.

The atmosphere is calm and the staff is friendly and attentive. The food quality was decent, but not as exceptional. The tandoori chicken was just red colored with no flavor. The chicken tikka, although delicious was very sweet and overpowered with tomato taste. Not as authentic of Indian food, but it wasn't bad.
I would recommend it for people who cannot eat much spicy food.

Pros: Service & Ambience

Cons: Food Authenticity

Ratings_icons Indian gem on the Upper West Side!

We've been to this small, casual, 2-level Indian bistro several times and consistently have had an outstanding meal every, single time! The quality of the food (especially the chicken dishes)is noticeably better than most of the other local, pricier Indian restaurants, and is always delicious. The staff is friendly and attentive, prices are fantastic and their delivery menu has a very generous multi-course offering. We've introduced several friends to Indigo, who have had the same experience as us. A real find on the Upper West Side!

Pros: Quality/Taste of food, Prices

Cons: Atmosphere is understated and plain, but the food is so good...who cares!
