Dil-e Punjab Deli - New York City

I inquired about vegan options and was told that everything on the menu was vegan. However, I later found out that one of the dishes contained paneer. I had to double-check with the staff for each item to ensure it did not contain ghee or cream. Additionally, none of the staff were wearing masks during the peak of the pandemic.

I love it. It's great to find a high-quality meal at a reasonable price in New York.

I have been dining at this restaurant for over 6 years and it never fails to impress. Keep in mind that depending on the time of day, the number of available dishes may be limited as they cook more. The large platter, priced at $7.99, includes rice with three vegetables and is sure to satisfy your hunger. The samosas may not be hot unless freshly made, but they are happy to warm them up for you.

Veggie place with vegan options. Mostly take out, but you can eat in, although you stand eating at a shelf opposite the serving counter. There are no chairs and I saw no bathroom. I was one of five people stood eating my meal. The food was good for a quick and inexpensive meal, with easily enough to fill me up. I saw no menu, was just told by the server to pick three of the six options (of which 5 were vegan). So cheap and cheerful, but not posh in any way. I'd happily go again.

The food was good and spicy! However, I have some critiques. Only one roti bread?? Come on... give me at least two! Half the pieces of okra were inedible because they weren't ripe. And finally, two small Ras Malai (that I watched be scooped out of agrocery store freezer pack) for $4! Outrageous! I'll probably be back but my expectations will be lower.
