Atithi

Great service!! They’re on top with refilling your water, which is much needed because their mild spice is pretty spicy. Delicious dishes! The 3 course deal is a bang for your buck. BYOB which makes this place better! Highly recommend.

Had been here for dinner. We ordered malai kofta, mutton Rogan Josh, green chilli chicken , garlic naan and chicken biryani. We asked for very spicy as we can handle spice. The server asked us 4-5 times if we were sure and it was pretty embarrassing. She even forced us to take the milder version a few times which was unnecessary. The food was good. Particularly liked the chicken biryani. Green chilli chicken was basically chicken kadai with a few green chilies on top. Malai kofta was creamy and well made. Garlic naan was soft and buttery. The very spicy version was not spicy as per our standards despite all the warnings our server gave us. We got lemonade on the side which was so watery that we had to send it back. They served it once again, same watery no flavor, no salt or sugar and we sent it back again. The service was quick, decor was good, music was loud so difficult to hold conversations.

Food was the perfect level of spice. Out of the appetizers, we liked the lamb spring rolls but the chicken samosas were too dry (the chicken). Out of chicken tikka and lamb korma, we liked the lamb korma more. Naan was mediocre, the garlic flavor didn’t taste real almost.

The most outstanding component of my experience at Atithi was the service, which is a lot to say considering how great the food was! The staff was FOH staff were keenly aware and on top of refills and sending out the next courses. The highlight dish for me was the pakora, and the mint sauce it came with! The garlic naan was a bit of a miss, unfortunately, since it turned out to be a bit moist with giant pieces of garlic and the lamb could’ve been cooked a bit more tender. But overall, it was a great experience and I’ll likely be back

Amazing dinner! Service was fantastic (not the kind of place where they forget about you for hours), bringing water and napkins as we needed. Food came out quickly even though the restaurant was pretty full. Everything tasted delicious. We got the lamb spring roll, chicken tikka masala, garlic naan, lamb biryani, and rasmalai for dessert. Also good value! They have a lunch and dinner prix fixe that’s very reasonable (dinner was <$30 for 3 courses). Bonus points for the great Bollywood throwbacks playing in the background.

Always a great experience! I could go through everything but the Chicken Tandoori is a standout. Everything is great its just a matter of preference. Very reasonably priced. Unlike many restaurants over the last few years the service has gotten better and better.

Fantastic food that is equally matched with the excellent service. Not often you give a restaurant a five star review but Atithi is more than worthy. The cuisine is fresh and flavorful and delivers the right amount of spice/hotness. From the papadum served with their two medium hot sauces, you become well aware that this place is legit. We ordered garlic naan and 4 main dishes including vegetarian saag, chicken saag, chicken tikka masala and shrimp tikka masala. Each dish was well-sized and included rice. Total bill without tip was $95.

Words can’t describe how much I love this restaurant…no seriously! The service is top-notch. You are literally always taken care of, be it water, napkins, utensils and etc. The food….man where do I even begin lol. I had to literally give compliments to the chef because of how poppin everything was, especially the lamb korma and the biryani. Truly a gem of the neighborhood. Only negative thing I can say is that the size of my waist might get a few more inches bc I’m already wanting to go back lol!

It's hard to believe it's been a year since I've been here. It was so nice that the manager Bithi and Ram were able to remembered me after all this time! It's important for me to say that any neighborhood restaurant should come here for schooling on how to properly take care of a customer. I can honestly say that outside of some select hi end restaurants like Daniel or Le Bernadin, in Manhattan, it's hard to find a restaurant who's entire staff is so polite, attentive and makes you feel like a true guest. It's a BYOB restaurant, it usually gets busy at night. I don't know what I can say to emphasis how great everything was, that I already said in my last review. We had the Atithi special platter, shrimp curry, Nan bread and Bithi prepared a special version of her chicken curry and grilled chicken for me to try. I was very impressed and very full. The food is authentic, fresh, bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. At the end of the meal, Bithi came over to share some personal stories about her goals and aspirations for the restaurant. She really understands customers and customer service. Never once did anyone push anything on us. Just like every restaurant there are a few Yelp or Google reviews that were low stars. Customer perception is reality. I can only tell you that Bithi appreciates the customer feedback and will work to overcome any challenges customers bring to her attention in the reviews. She really "owns it", which was so nice to see. I would highly recommend this restaurant and say without a doubt it's one of the best all around Indian restaurants I have been to period.

Delicious food & amazing service! I did not get the name of our waiter but he was amazing. I went two weeks ago and I've been craving their chicken masala, samosas & chutney every since! Keep in mind that the spice is real hunny - I'm Jamaican so I'm accustomed to super spicy food but their food is spicy spicy. I LOVED it but just wanted to give a warning lol. 10/10 recommend Also, it's BYOB!

This place is sooo good. They have a great lunch deal. We shared the Lamb Spring Rolls and Garlic Naan. Both were sooo good and the spring rolls came with a delicious yogurt sauce. For my main, I got the Chicken Samosa and Chicken Vindaloo. The samosa was huge but the filling was amazing and had a bit of a kick. BEWARE: The chicken vindaloo is SPICY. They warned me and they were not kidding. The flavor was delicious, but it really has a lot of heat to it. Overall, great meal and lots of leftovers as the food was super filling. My only complaint was that the waitress kept trying to clear our table when we were packing our to go boxes. Like I'm still eating some of my naan and felt like I had to stop eating because she was taking all my plates and utensils like girl just give us 5 minutes here.

Probably one of the best flavored Indian spots I've been to here! I'm a fan of super spicy food and this def exceeded expectations. They do warm you that the vindaloo chicken is spicy but believe me, it's extremely spicy. I have a pretty good tolerance level and this was def up there. It's def flavorful so you will def keep eating. The curry is also great! Ask for raita to help cool your palette if you need and def try the gulab Jamun! One thing to make this spot perfect would be that they offered drinks but it is byob which is great!

The service here is amazing - we arrived without a reservation and were told the wait would be about an hour and a half. We were ready to leave and come back another day when they told us if we could eat within an hour we could have a table - not a problem cause we're fast eaters! The pre-fix is such a good deal, app, entree and dessert for ~$27. The chicken samosa was hands down one of the best ones I've had in a minute - and the Chicken makhani was deliciously spicy and perfectly seasoned. Also want to note that the waiters here were some of the most attentive ones in a while - my cup of water was constantly being topped off and we were always being checked on. Cannot wait to return here and try more of the delicious food.

So I've ordered from this restaurant a million times but this is my first time finally dining in. Im not sure what I expected but it was a pretty decent experience. The inside was a bit on the cozier side and dimly lit which was fine, nothing extravagant. The service was slower than I expected, nothing awful but just not great, took a long for everything to come especially if we asked for anything extra. The medium spicy chicken tikka wasn't as spicy as it is when I order takeout but that was ok. The Garlic naan was delicious, samosas were maybe a 7/10, not as flavorful as it used to be but still good. Overall like I said it was a decent experience but ill just stick to takeout so I wont have to worry about service delays!

Service is the star of the show at this buzzing Indian eatery in Williamsburg. Atithi translates to "Guest" in Hindi and they do take that seriously with warm, attentive hospitality even on a busy weekend night. The food is great too. Samosas are mind blowing. Bombay bhel needs improvement. Paneer makhani has generous pieces of paneer and a sweet-spicy flavor. Garlic naan and Roti are on point. They listened to our feedback and also gave us Gulab Jamun on the house. Delightful! Overall highly recommend Atithi.

Amazing place with delicious food and incredible service! We came by on a weekday evening and can't tell if it was because of the weather but there was a decent number of seats available but so many delivery orders (i've never seen a restaurant with so much!). We got: - Atithi special platter 9/10: we couldn't decide on which appetizers so we got this platter and it was a fantastic choice! The lamb spring roll in particular is phenomenal, highly recommended. And as you can see, the samosas are respectable size. - chicken korma 10/10: excellent and creamy, perfect contrast to - lamb vinadloo 10/10: our waitress warned us it would be spicy and it indeed was! We were pleasantly surprised and it was incredibly delicious - garlic naan 9/10: solid naan, very chewy - gulab jamun 8/10: i prefer mine to be slightly more crispy but otherwise it was still good Service was also top notch, which i normally don't notice so i felt like the staff went above and beyond, especially considering the number of takeout orders they were dealing with.

So sad I did not take a pic of my food but the lamb biryani was the most delicious dish I've had. The yogurt sauce that came with was an excellent pair that cooled down the spiciness. Had a sip of the mango smoothie with but SOOO tasty esp on a hot day. More yogurt than fruit so if you're worried about too much sweetness, you're ok! Employees are super kind and very attentive! Love the people

If you're in the mood for some top-notch Indian food, look no further than Atithi. This place absolutely nails it when it comes to both flavor and service. The ambiance inside the restaurant was also great. Not too loud, and the lighting was just right for dinner. We tried a few dishes, and everything was on point. The garlic naan was a standout. Speaking of which, both the chicken korma and lamb korma were phenomenal. Rich, creamy, and perfectly spiced. The service at Atithi was equally impressive. Our server was attentive and made sure our water glasses never went below half, which was much appreciated. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, adding to the overall great experience. So, if you're looking for a fantastic Indian meal, head to Atithi and make sure to try the garlic naan.

I decided to give this restaurant a try because of the raving 5 star reviews. I came with a few friends for dinner. The restaurant had seating when we arrived, but quickly got filled as time passed. We were quickly seated upon entering. When reading their menu, I was super hungry, so their 3 course prix fix meal sounded like a great deal to me. We got 4 pieces of complimentary papadam for the table to start (one for the each of us) - paired with a side of sweet brown sauce and spicy green sauce. That's always light and delicious. For my 3 course PRIX FIXE: I opted for VEGETABLE SAMOSA for appetizer The vegetable samosa was way bigger than I expected. Nonetheless, it was delicious. Liked the fillings inside. The mix of the brown/green sauce at the bottom was a delicious combo for the samosa. I really enjoyed the app. Would order again. CHICKEN KORMA for my entree I like that you get to choose your spiciness for all the dishes. I chose to get medium spice for my korma dish. It was a tad bit spicy for me, but very tolerable in my opinion. Had a similar spice level of the green sauce as the server had explained. I also like that every dish comes with a decent sized bowl of rice. And a large plate if you need to mix the rice and entree. I've never had Chicken Korma, but I really enjoyed it. Chicken was soft. It had small pieces of nuts inside. The sauce is flavorful. I ate it all. and KHEER for my dessert This is a rice pudding dessert. It has a slight coconut taste, but you can tell it's Indian with the hidden spices underneath the white exterior. I was honestly bloated with my meal & everything else prior, but since it's light and not too sweet, I was able to finish it all. First of all, I came out of the restaurant feeling very full. The whole meal was delicious and filling. Secondly, the service was great! The server came to check in on us and offered us water refills multiple times to even count. They were very attentive and quick with the orders. I did enjoy my experience here.

I was here with one of my groups back in early May. This is a local Indian spot serving primarily Northern Indian grub which while not my preference is either good or bad depending on how overly sweet they make the dishes. This place was definitely on the good end and I can see why others like it. The prices were reasonable. Service was nice. I remember getting a mango lassi and it was to my preference. Not too sweet and quite thick with a strong yogurt flavor. Pricey but would still recommend. They gave us some Papadum which was the usual. We got two appetizers. First was the Pakora ($10) with onion fritters and cauliflower fritters had a good portion size and were properly fried. The Vegetable Samosa with potato and green peas in a mixed turnover for $9 was different. They were much larger than usual and came with 2 and were tasty though perhaps a bit less fried than I am used to. They are also available with meat. In terms of mains, our host got a mix of curries. For vegetables, the Saag Paneer with spinach, cheese cubes, garlic, and coriander for $17.95 was very good. Good spinach flavor with good paneer texture. The Chana (or Channa) Masala with chickpea, tomato, onion, cloves, and cardamom for the same price was probably the weakest dish and the only miss of the evening. A bit too lightly flavored even as this dish goes and the chickpeas could have been cooked more. In terms of meat dishes, our favorite was the Achari Lamb with mixed spicy pickle masala, onion, green pepper, and tomato for $19.95 was very good. The lamb was tender and well spiced from the achar/pickles. Would recommend if you want something spicy and sour. The Chicken Korma at $18.95 with cashew nut and almond, yogurt, coconut, and cream was also good. Not as sweet as other places which to me is a good thing. Rounding out the dishes was the Shrimp Tikka Masala for $21.95 with griddle fry, light cream, and tomato sauce. This was more standard and the shrimp were fine. Probably the 2nd weakest but not shabby. All the dishes came with rice and we got Garlic Naan ($4.50) which was a very solid version. Food was tasty. I can see why it's popular and high rated. Not the best Indian food I've had or even northern Indian but very solid. Low 4.

Delicious Indian food with friendly service. I came to dine in during lunch time, and they have a good lunch offering where you get a size-able samosa + lunch entree. The food is fragrant and delicious. Highly recommend! 5/5

This wonderful little family owned gem in Brooklyn certainly embodies the mantra Atithi Devo Bhava. Wonderful, personalized service and incredibly attentive waitstaff. I felt revered from the moment I entered. The lunch special was fantastic with a variety of entrees to choose from. I had a vegetable samosa which was grand along with aloo gobi mater. The gulab jamun was the perfect sweet finish. Prices are fantastic, especially for the lunch specials. Drop in for an immersive experience or order to go.

Enjoyed their prix fix meal for $28. Got the lamb spring roll and chicken samosa, my friend said the chicken samosa is good. I thought the lamb was fine, a lot of sauce and piping hot. It was huge a huge appetizer for 1 person. There's veggie, chicken and lamb to choose from the entree. I got the curry chicken in spicy and friend got the chicken tikka masala medium spicy. The chicken tikka masala is pretty sweet and not very spicy. The curry chicken had a nice amount of spice and flavorful. The chicken was tender, this dish might've been too flavorful and more on the salty side. Everything came piping hot which is great. Tried their garlic naan and it was really good with chunks of garlic. Ended dinner with kheer and rasmalai and it was a small portion and was ok. Came on a Friday night and it got busy around 7pm. The service was great. Always come to refill the cup with water and checking to make sure everything is ok. It is dim in the inside which is prefect for a date. A lot of deliveries were being pushed out too.

Very loud place, and I could barely hear the other diners in my party speak..Staff hovered constantly, and really leaned in close to speak. Food was great but I go to a restaurant for the atmosphere as well, and this place doesn't have it.

One of the best Indian spots I've tried hands down! I went here with my friends Saturday night and the vibe down to the food was so good. Service was very attentive to us and gave great recommendations. I tried the lamb saag and it was pretty spicy but not too much. It was flavorful and delicious with the garlic naan. Inside was pretty lively and the prices are not bad for good Indian food. It is BYOB so if you like make sure to bring a nice wine to pair with your food haha. Love it! :)

First off, ambience wise, it was a little trippy inside with the dim lighting and slightly warm. But it was nicely decorated and vibrant overall. In terms of food, this is a decent spot for Indian food. If you're looking for really ethnic style Indian food, this probably isn't the right place. Chicken malai kebab - I think this was the best dish of our meal. Super soft, flavorful, tasty. Lamb Korma - average, decent, not a lot of flavor but lamb was cooked well. Chicken korma - really enjoyed this, chicken cooked well, can really taste the cashew. Lamb biryani - this wasn't really a typical Biryani dish. Reminded me more of Punjabi biryani. Was more like a pulao than Biryani, but the lamb was cooked well, and the quantity was great. Service was attentive and fast. Quantity of food was also really high. Overall, I would say this is a good spot. In the area, it's hard to find much better. That being said, there was nothing overly special about the food. It was all just quite solid.

Absolutely massive portions, easy to share with others. The spices are on the spicier end so be ready. The coconut naan was great!

Delicious food and kind, accommodating staff. Each entree comes with a bowl of rice which I don't see often at Indian restaurants! We loved the chicken tikka masala and aloo gobi we ordered. I also ordered a mango lassi (delicious), and I unfortunately knocked the glass off the table which shattered and left an orange crime scene at our table. Staff quickly cleaned up as I sat there apologizing and embarrassed, then brought me another lassi on the house. It was so kind of them; I really hate being the person to accidentally make a mess at a restaurant, but the staff swiftly cleaned up and ensured we had a great dining experience. Lovely people and amazing food. Highly recommend!

Delicious Indian cuisine. As authentic as it gets in my opinion. Both the chicken tikka masala and chicken korma were as good as it gets. I can eat either of the 2 everyday for lunch. Add some fresh garlic naan, there is no combo better. The samosas were also pretty darn good especially the sweet spicy sauce it was served in.

A nice, comforting Indian restaurant in Williamsburg with great food and great service! I came here with a reservation for 2 on a Monday evening at 6:30pm and we had a lovely time. I was really happy to see their 3 course prix fix menu ($27.95)! From it, I tried their butternut squash soup, chicken korma, and gulab jamun. Everything was so tasty and the portion sizes were good as well. I especially liked the chicken korma and ate every bite. Next time I want to come back and try the chicken vindaloo because I like spicy dishes! Come give this place some more love! It is perfect for catching up with friends or family over a delicious meal.

We went to Atithi on a Friday evening. We had a reservation for 3 at 7:15. The place filled up. We ordered the prix-fixe which gives you an appetizer, entree (with rice), and dessert for a little over $27. The appetizers were the highlight for me. The vegetable samosa is legit, don't hesitate to order it! The chicken samosa was good too and the lamb spring roll was tasty if you're a fan of lamb. Entrees were good as well. The chicken curry has a great homemade flavor and the tikka masala was solid. I wish the veggie korma had been more flavorful, but to be fair we did order Regular spicy for all (it was mild). The gulab jaman and rasmalai was solid. Mango lassi had that tangy real yogurt flavor and was not very sweet. Ambiance: Dark, mood lightning, generally quite nice -- except it was too loud :( Overall, not a bad place to get Indian food in Williamsburg.

We started off with the vegetable samosas, which were absolutely delicious and fresh. We also had the chana masala, vegetable vindaloo and butter, chicken. We ordered most of our dishes on the medium side, which seemed to be a little bit on the spicy side, which we loved! The staff was very friendly, and it was byob. I would definitely recommend to come here!!

I literally am so obsessed with their food ! If i could eat it every day with out gaining a pound i would !!!! Butter chicken garlic nan 10/10 !!!!

This place was really good and very busy when we stopped by! Our group tried a few things including masalas, daal, mango lassis, and everything was delicious. Their green chutney was notably so so good and spicy!

This is one of the best lunch specials in the neighborhood. Every time my sisters come and visit, they have to order from here before they go. Garlic and coconut naan are delicious!

I couldn't be happier with my dining experience at Atithi. The best Indian food I've had in a long time. Some Indian restaurants use too much sugar in their sauces not Atithi. The flavors and the service were great! I highly recommend the lunch special. It's a very good deal almost pre Covid prices:).

Above average Indian food for a great price! They have a combo meal where you can get an appetizer, an entree + dessert for $27 Pros 1. Great Quantity at a great price 2. Pretty fast service time 3. Free Papadam (deep fried dough) is always a plus Vibes/Ambiance were elevated casual Ordered the chicken samosa, lamb korma and the kheer (rice pudding) Everything was above average but nothing mind blowing. Wished the lamb in the korma was more tender, but the curry was great! The kheer and the chicken samosa could have more flavor but for the price was def worth it!

Where to start? This place has 5 stars for a reason! A very authentic Indian restaurant! My husband and I started off with the chicken samosas and lamb rolls. The portions are huge! We realized after we could have opted for the dinner special they have but glad we got the full servings of the apps instead of one of each with the special. We took the leftovers home and heated it up in the oven. Both are SO GOOD! For dinner we got the chicken tikka spicy and chicken curry (no cream for me). My husband loved how spicy and delicious the chicken tikka was and I absolutely loved the chicken curry. We both left with full bellies! Definitely a spot to come back to

Indian restaurants to get your tikka masala or saag paneer fix are a dime a dozen in New York, and glancing at Atithi's menu I would've guessed this was your run of the mill restaurant. It's always lovely to be pleasantly surprised by an amazing meal, and I am here to say that the depth of flavor in the curries I had here have me calling this one of the best Indian restaurants I've been to in recent memory, and this is just a casual spot on Grand St. I appreciate that they start you off with some complimentary papadum with a tamarind and green chutney, like an Indian chips and salsa, which almost never come complimentary at restaurants anymore. This was a tasty way to whet the appetite for the appetizer and soup. Their $12.95 lunch special includes a generous appetizer portion on top of the entree, and there was so much food I had enough to save for a second meal. While I loved the mulligatawny soup, I was floored by the shrimp tikka masala I ordered. The pieces of shrimp were large and plentiful, and the sauce had a smokiness that took this curry to the next level. It was so good I often fantasize about this tikka masala, whose smokiness I cannot replicate at home. My server was so friendly and really on top of refilling my water glass, and even gifted me a mango lassi on the house. I found the lassi to be too heavy on the sweetness for my palate, but probably perfectly fine for most people. I'm curious to return for other dishes, but I will likely be tempted to order the shrimp tikka masala again.

Really delicious Indian food, served fast. Came here on a Saturday before the evening rush so I did not have to wait and without a reservation. I think this place really picked up by 8, they have a bit of space for seating but they are in the heart of Williamsburg so never underestimate. The food was fantastic, now one of my favorites for Indian in Brooklyn. We ordered the Coconut Naan, Garlic Naan, Saag Paneer and Chicken Tikka Masala. Which was plenty food for 2 people, I did not have any space for dessert. This was the first time I have ever seen Coconut Naan so I had to ty it, I absolutely loved it, a bit on the sweet side but still ok paired with the right curry! A must try. The atmosphere was relaxed and intimate, with a menu suitable for a range of palettes. I'll definitly be back.

I walked in and was immediately seated. The decor is romantic, dark, artistic, and most importantly - Indian. I ordered my food and received it within 7 minutes. The portions were bigger than your average NYC restaurant ! I got the Paneer Makhani and it was literally filled to the brim in the container it was served in. The Paneer Makhani itself was creamy, smooth, well salted, had enough spice in it, and had a twinge of the sweetness of the tomatoes. Really hit the spot. The chutneys they served were also some of the best I've had. Great spot I will be returning !!

After seeing this Indian restaurant on Yelp with its glorious 5-star rating, I was intrigued to try it out on a Friday afternoon. Atithi offers a $15 lunch special (price must've recently increased because I saw photos from fellow reviewers that stated lunch special was only $12.95 just 3 months ago). Lunch special is valid Monday-Friday from 12pm-3pm, excluding holidays. From the special, you can select an appetizer and choice to entree which comes with basmati rice. There is limit selection of appetizers and entree but protein includes vegetarian, chicken or lamb options. Do note that they charge extra $1 for lamb selection. I really wanted to try the chicken vindaloo but I had did some research and read reviews prior to coming and I guess reviewers put me off a bit when they said the vindaloo was really spicy. I asked the waiter if the spice level for the vindaloo could be adjusted and unfortunately I couldn't. He told me the spice level for the vindaloo was a 10/10 and while I eat a lot of spicy food and can handle the kick, I did not want to risk spending the rest of my outing seeking a bathroom. So I opt for the chicken curry and chicken samosa for appetizer. Also, ordered the chicken tikka marsala. While the vindaloo's spice level could not be adjusted, the waiter did ask us the level of spice we wanted for the curries and we selected medium spicy. The appetizer was only one chicken samosa but it was a huge samosa. Cutting into the samosa, you'll find grounded spice chicken. The flavor was really good and I really like the green sauce that accompanied it on the platting. The chicken curry came out with the rice and upon first taste, I noticed the curry was not spicy at all (well, to me) even though I ordered medium spicy. The waiter told me it was a 4-5/10 in regards to the vindaloo's spice level, which got me curious whether I probably would've been able to handle the vindaloo spice. The waiter did ask if I wanted to add more spice to my chicken curry since I said it wasn't spicy at all for me, but I said it was fine. Food was tasty but Indian food never disappoints! The waiter was really nice and was refilling our water cup just about every time I took a sip. I might try the vindaloo next time I'm back!

Second time around. And as I had planned beforehand, I ordered two entrees and lots of naans. The mixed grill was good with the exception of the shrimps, which seemed a bit off and not very fresh. Otherwise, everything else was very good.

So so spicy and I say this as a Desi person who eats spicy food 24/7. But delicious. One of my favorite Indian restaurants in NYC/Brooklyn and I will travel to Williamsburg for it

Atithi instantly became my favorite Indian restaurant in the city. I've eaten here twice in the last week-- once dining in, and one takeout order. Both times I ordered the vegetable samosas, chicken tikka masala, and lamb vindaloo. The samosas are perhaps the best samosas I've ever had in my life. Two large samosas with plenty of tamarind and mint sauce. There are two per $8 order. The chicken tikka masala is also perhaps the best that I've ever had, with generous portions of white meat chicken in a delicious sauce. Finally, the lamb vindaloo, while good, is incredibly spicy. You can only order it hot, so make sure you can indeed tolerate the spice level. The service is also fantastic. My cup was never empty and the staff is incredibly attentive. They also have great deals if you order through them, such as a prix fix and lunch special. Will 100% continue to come to Atithi!

Got the aloo gobi and it was pretty good. Got mine quite spicy and would go lower in spice next time. Would consider coming back if I'm in the area and want solid Indian food

Guys give this place a try, they have a lunch menu between 12-3 unfortunately for me I just missed it.The ambience ( music, art, etc) was very nice, the service was delightful, the food was so delicious.... Not sure what I expected but it blew me taste buds away.

They have a course menu which is a great way to try different dishes and appetizers. I enjoyed the lamb spring roll and the lamb korma. I wasn't a big fan of the desserts- they felt too overly sweet and artificial tasting. The naan was also disappointing... it was not flavorful enough. The mango lassi was refreshing! Overall, not bad. The staff was also very attentive and great.

One word- DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!! Chicken tikka masala was my favorite and the garlic naan bread.

Forever my go to spot that never disappoints to showcase the diversity of Williamsburg. Always seeing people from all walks of life in Atithi enjoying a meal together. Have brought every guest I've had here and a unanimous vote of being their best meal and dans to come back on their next visit! The staff is beyond kind and informed of each dish and you never feel rushed. Prices are more than reasonable considering they are enough for at least two meals. With the large amount of chain restaurants popping up, I'll always recommend independently owned ones with Atithi always at the top of the list!!

Came for a late lunch / early dinner on a weekday. Only a few tables taken up and they sat us immediately. We started with the pekora (fried cauliflower) and lamb spring rolls. Pekora was fried perfectly and the spring rolls were very flavorful. They came with a spicy green sauce and a sweet chutney. For the main course, I had the saag paneer. Again, super flavorful. The preparation was less creamy than what I've had elsewhere. I enjoyed this style more. The main course were served with basmati rice; I appreciated that there wasn't an upcharge for the rice. Service was very attentive and super polite. There were two gender neutral restrooms. One appeared to be handicap accessible.

Exellent! Great service and the food was outstanding. I highly recommend if you are in the mood for Tibet cuisine!

I took my parents here for their first indian food experience! What a great and cute restaurant. The food was delicious and the service was great. We ordered the lunch special which came with samosa and an entree from their selected list. Their vegetable samosa was delicious! It was perfectly fried and the sauce on the plate was yummy with the samosa. I tried their chicken vindaloo which was spicy but so good. I kept reaching over for it to eat with the rice. Their mango lassi was also refreshing. Highly recommend coming here!!

Excellent food, quick, waiter was nice and helpful. I went for dinner from Manhattan to try it out and left satisfied. Highly recommended!

Came here when we are exploring Williamsburg and found this place on seated for a surging cash back and also felt like annIndian food kind of a day! We first thought about lunch deal but it is not available for weekends and instead we ordered pre-fixe meals. The food is really good portion and definitely tasted very authentic! I was surprised by how full I was even before the entree! While we are genuinely impressed by the food, we are even more warmed up by the boss lady! Not only does she give us free Naan, she also asked the chef to re-cook the curry I ordered because I felt it was a bit salty for my taste. All in all, it was a great experience!

Great food in a great location! We were looking around in Williamsburg for a place to eat dinner on a Saturday evening and walked into Atithi. We're glad we got the chance to try Atithi. The ambiance and vibe was excellent and the food was great We had Pakora appetizer, Malai tikka, some curries and various naan and parathas Highly recommend and will go back again

Husband and I came because of the five star review. Food was good but I wouldn't say five star. We both agreed we have had better. The mild chicken tikka masala was indeed mild..... lacked a little flavor but was still good. Decided to share the Atithi special platter which was delicious and felt like more of a meal. I'll pass on the lamb spring rolls next time. Tasted a little gamey. The service is what makes it four stars for me. Very friendly and attentive. The restaurant itself felt comfortable, clean...
