Sonar Gaow: GO THERE!
I have been going to SONAR GAOW for at least 15 years. It has the most unique personality and the flavors are memories to treasure. The service is A-mazing--just went there tonight. I tend to like the curry, which is VERY hot, but that means the poor waiter has to refill my water glass every 5 minutes or so. He did so with a smile every time. I almost hate to give this place such a high ranking because that means more of you shlubs will go there and then I won't be able to get in. But it's better than the best on Indian Row. And the atmosphere is something truly unique. GO THERE!

great food, great service, super cheap!
I can't believe there are so many negative reviews of the food- Sonar Gaow is one of my favorite Indian places in the city, and I have been to lots! They have an unbeatable dinner special that for 7.95 you get soup, appetizer, entree, and nan. It's always super delicious and the people there are so nice!

Bland
Very bland and forgettable. The naan bread was more like pita and the entrees that my friends and I shared were all flavorless. I would hardly call it Indian food! Although it was cheap, there are much better Indian places in the area.

Not worth it
The food was barely acceptable and we left before dessert arrived. The tomato soup was lukewarm. The samosa was burnt along the edges. The entree of mateer ponir was typical size, but contained just a few sad, rubbery textured cheese cubes. The naan was pita like and obviously reheated. Rather than risk dessert (which came with our meal) we asked for the check and left. I don't expect the freshest food when I dine out inexpensively, but this was far below the norm. The decor was worn and drab on top of this. Bottom line, we both felt this was one of the poorest Indian food experiences we've had.

Poor Food
We ordered the vegetarian dinner for two. It was cheap for New York, $25 for both of us, but we considered most of the meal inedible. The tomato soup was cold, the appetizers were over fried to the point that they were black on the outside, and the naan was toasted pita bread. The other Indian restaurants on the same block are much better and probably only come to $10 or $15 more.

Delicious cheap choice
I ate here last night and just loved it! The food was delicious. My friend and I ate vegetarian curries. We each got an appetizer and an entree and an order of Nan. The total came to $12.95. Where in NYC can you beat a deal like that! And we loved every bite of what we ate! The waiter was very friendly, attentive, and helpful. The atmosphere might be a bit cheesy but still nice and enjoyable. I will be back!
