Chapati House - New York

The best place for Indian food at Columbia! The meals are ideal for everyday dining, and unlike many other restaurants, they don’t use heavy cream. It brings back memories of Podi Bhaji Kendra in Mumbai, which I've loved for a long time. This is my go-to spot for affordable Indian cuisine. However, their desserts are quite sweet, so you might want to skip them. Overall, it’s the perfect place for daily meals!

I decided to finally try this Indian restaurant, which is similar to Chipotle but for Indian food. You can select either a rice plate or a Roti burrito, then add your choice of protein and toppings. For the rice dishes, there are two protein options and two types of rice. I went with double portions of chicken makhni with basmati rice and a side of Roti. It was quite a lot of food. While the meal was satisfactory, I felt it lacked flavor. The Roti was a bit tough as well. I'd be interested in returning to try their Samosas.

I won’t be returning. The samosas were decent, but the chana masala dinner was disappointing. The chickpeas were undercooked, and the sauce lacked flavor.

A very good choice to eat something good and quick. You have a few variations, with a rice base (bastati or brown) or in a pack, then a selection of meat or vegetables. This place offers good value and I am always happy to eat there for lunch.

Great spot for casual dine-in or quick takeout. Very good mango lassi, chicken makhani and samosa at very reasonable price. Wide assortment of excellent toppings for your meal as well (pickled ginger, house spicy mix, etc.
