We were anxious to try Dhaba however were disappointed. The only good dish was the Tandoori Chicken and even that was very basic, no char or real flavor other than the yogurt marinade. We also ordered the lamb chops and tandoor shrimp. The shrimp were very small, DRY/overcooked and tasteless....the lamb was below average. I couldn't be bothered to send the shrimp back.....so we left most of it. They must have a thing for red onions because they overuse it in everything. The basmati rice was bland. The only good thing was my King Fisher beer and the garlic nan. Skip ordering wine here.. we ordered one glass of Pinot Noir and while we didn't expect much.....it was a one sip and leave it glass. The service is OK for the first 5 minutes then it is a nightmare once the place gets busy. Nobody smile or can even look you in the eye. So service wise I rate it extremely poor. The restaurant is also way too dark....I suppose if the lights were turned up they are afraid of you really seeing what you are eating as well as the dirty walls. No hot water in the bathroom either. It's sad that in NYC you have to spend alot for "clean and crisp/fresh tasting Indian food. needless to say we will not be going back to Dhaba anytime soon....so there is an extra table for those who (for some odd reason) find this place to be a "great" (?) Indian restaurant.

We were very impressed by the ambiance, food, service..It's one of best Indian restaurant in the City. Food taste is authentic and is NOT Americanized..Great to eat real AUTHENTIC Indian Food! Will be going there again. Walked in without a reservation, lucky got a table without much waiting though would strongly suggest reserving a table! Wish the Kingfisher Beer was from India and not the US made draft; though not bad but not the original taste.

So fresh, so tasty, great Indian food. Go here and enjoy.

I have primarily had their food delivered. It is always excellent and properly spiced. However, it is on the expensive side. They always upsell away from the lunch special (cheaper, more variety, but smaller portions) toward the full order (much more expensive, no variety and big portions).

I have been to Dhaba numerous times and enjoyed each visit. Today, we went for the buffet lunch, which is without a doubt worth $10. With a selection of vegetable dishes, lamb, and chicken, each customer will be satisfied. Fresh naan and tasty tandoori chicken brought to each table is indeed a treat. The servers are sweet, always smiling and tend to you quickly. The venue is clean and very modern in decor. Enjoy!

We ordered food and asked how long it would be. They said 30 min. An hour later we still had no food, so we called to ask the status of our food and they said it was on its way. 30 min later (1.5 hours after we ordered) we called again to check on the food, since it had not come. Again they said it was on the way. At this point we asked them to call the delivery guy and find out how much longer it would be. They finally called us back and told us, the food HAD NOT EVEN BEEN MADE YET. We will never order from here again.

This was the first Indian lunch buffet I've ever tried in Curry Hill, and I thought it was awesome. I only eat this sort of food about once a month, so I'm far from an expert. But everything tasted great, the price was right, and my stomach felt fine afterward. On top of that, the place was nice and comfortable and the service was perfect. What more can you ask for?
