Poor Delivery
It took OVER AN HOUR to get my food delivered. They said 30-45 minutes. When I called after 45 minutes, they were UNAPOLOGETIC and said it would be here in 5-7 minutes. 20 minutes later, it finally arrived. Don't order from this location if you're hungry, or would like to be treated well.

Same ole stuff
What was I thinking..looking to order in some Indian on UES(no easy task) and hadn't "sampled" these cats in awhile. It amazes me that reviewers can have such different experiences. Anyway, as usual, I ordered my litmus test dish..Chicken Tikka Masala. Bottom line: This chain is barely better than the rest of the lame Indian Restaurants on the UES. And something to consider for those who gave this dreck high marks..It's not a "good" thing if you can sip Chicken Tikka Masala sauce through a straw..lol

reliable choice, good service
That's an old favorite. Their on-site staff is quite pleasant, but now that my office is further south, I started using delivery. I must say I am impressed with the online ordering system: fast, accurate and unproblematic. The portions tend to be on the smallish side, but the flavors are great, the food is always fresh, and the variety is appealing.

Excellent indian on UES
We ordered take-out from Baluchi's and the delivery was quick (15-20 mins) and the food was absolutely delicious. Highly recommended.

Good Consitent Indian Food
Being Indian & living on the Upper East Side sometimes we would love to eat some unpretentious indian food, ie: similar to home cooked without cooking ourselves & Baluchis really does that. Delivery though a bit slow is still great especially the prix fix menu for $14.95 (appetizer & entree). I would recommend it to anyone as it is great food & good value.

Excellent Service and Great Food
We were greeted at Baluchi's with smiles that continued throughout the evening accompanied by attentive service and great food. The service staff appeared to be the owners, which may explain the dedication to making our meal memorable. This restaurant will definitely be on our list for a return visit. If your looking for atmosphere skip this one...we sat at the window and people watched which was enjoyable enough.

Get delivery...
As i've read some of these reviews it seems to be as though many people have painful delivery experiences. I on the other hand would very much recommend delivery. The only downside to the delivery from Baluchi's is the time it takes to get to you but is well worth it when consider the fact that for some reason, rice comes free with main entrees on deliveries and not at the restaurant itself. I had to find this out the hard way when i went there for lunch and my food came without any rice. Not to mention the poor service in the tiny hole in wall. However the food is delicious and i would highly recommend the crab curry or the chicken tikka masala. Seamlessweb is probably the easiest form of ordering from Baluchi's and they also offer 20[%] off of orders through the site. Don't get tricked into eating at the restaurant, order in.
