Copper Pot Curries and Crispy Bhaji Near Penn Station
Dig into smoky tandoor grills and slow simmered curries at a spot minutes from Madison Square Garden.
🍛 Curry Night on 34th Street
Patiala Indian Grill sits on West 34th Street, a short walk from Penn Station and Madison Square Garden. The kitchen leans into North Indian classics, the kind that arrive in hammered copper handis with cilantro and slivered ginger on top.
Order the onion bhaji to start, tangled fritters fried deep gold and scattered with fresh herbs. The chili chicken lands bright red and glossy with curry leaves, and the crispy okra comes light and lemony on a white plate. Rich, tomato forward curries anchor the table, ready for charred naan straight from the tandoor.
The place has pulled more than 4,600 ratings at a 4.5 average, rare this close to the tourist crush. The room stays casual and quick, easy before a game at the Garden or a train out of Penn. Portions run generous, spice comes through real, and the copper serving pots keep everything hot to the last bite.
