House Of India - Huntington

I am disappointed to hear that the restaurant is closed. I had a great dining experience there a few months ago. The staff was very friendly and the prices were very reasonable, especially for the upscale area of Huntington Village. I wish I had the opportunity to dine there more often. Namaste!

The restaurant appeared to be quite empty, possibly due to the strong smells of their spices that may be off-putting to some. We ordered the shrimp curry and Rohan Josh, but neither dish stood out to us except for the tough lamb meat. The meat samosas lacked flavor unless paired with the chutney meant for the papadam. While the garlic naan was flavorful, the piswari naan was too mushy and heavy, causing it to fall apart easily. We may have been better off trying the kebabs and butter chicken, although they were not recommended by the staff. Overall, our dining experience was underwhelming and we were not compelled to return. Additionally, parking was difficult on the streets, requiring a walk to nearby lots.

As for the food, my girlfriend and I started with samosas and a chicken dish she wanted to try. The samosa was filled with ground beef and peas, but had a slightly off smell. The chicken dish was breaded and unremarkable. For our main courses, I ordered lamb curry and chicken tikka masala. The garlic naan was doughy and uninspiring. The portion sizes were small for the price and the quality of the dishes was mediocre. Overall, I prefer the Indian food in Queens and would not return to this restaurant. Seva in Astoria has the best Indian food in my opinion. While the commute is further, the quality of the food is worth it. The waitress was the highlight of the experience. I would give this restaurant 3 stars at best.

From the moment we arrived, I had a feeling that this would not be a great dining experience. It took us quite some time to be seated, and once we were finally seated, it took 20 minutes to receive silverware and another 20 minutes to get water. We never had a dedicated waiter at our table, and the overall dining experience lasted over 2 hours. If you're in a hurry, I would not recommend eating here. While the food we received wasn't terrible, the slow service left a sour taste in my mouth. The variety platter was something I would not order again, as the fried food was heavy and dry. You may leave feeling unwell after this meal.

This restaurant offers a cozy atmosphere and delicious Indian food. The service was a bit slow and unrefined, but our meals arrived promptly after we placed our order. We tried the saag paneer (generous portion), chicken biryani (decent, although the chicken was a bit dry), and the lamb curry rogan josh (excellent). We also enjoyed the ice cream (delicious) and spicy tea, which was oddly dark in color but tasted bland. Overall, we would return to try more dishes.
