About this restaurant

  • Vegetarian-friendly
  • Innovative
  • Neighborhood gem
Chote Nawab, literally "little prince," brings the royal kitchens of India to New York's Curry Hill neighborhood. Inspired by the opulence and nuance of Lucknow's culinary heritage, we focus on kababs, dum biryanis, thoughtfully spiced curries, and a dining room that hums with energy and color.

    Service and pricing could be slightly better. Other than that, nice food.

    Food was just wonderful—delicious!—when it finally came. On a rainy Friday night at 8:30 pm the restaurant was not full, so we were surprised by slow kitchen especially since other reviewers described being “rushed.” That said, wait staff service was friendly and relatively attentive. Beer selection good. Every dish was well seasoned and true to its menu description; salmon tikka was a standout. Ambiance is modest, with simple decor and plain tables. Note: restroom needed attention (broken toilet seat, overflowing trash can, not especially clean).

    Excellent Indian place. Wine choices decent. Lots of meat and non meat options. Biryani is exceptional. Shrimp with tomato and coconut another stand out dish. Would go back.

    I was celebrating my sisters birthday and made reservations so that the restaurant can make arrangements for larger group in advance. But it was a complete mess when we got there. The management was absolutely useless in arranging tables together and instead was giving us advise that we did not reserve correctly. After several arguments and talking the second person was able to arrange a table on one side. After an hour we were able to get seated and then order food. The whole point of making reservations did not work. The servers did their job and had decent service. I am not sure if I would want to recommend this place for larger group unless they are ok sitting in different tables in different sections
