Been here a few times. Used to be much better. Service was indifferent. Food was bland. Place was too warm. Good nan and the free appetizer with nine dips is pleasant. That's about it.

Yuva has once again become our favorite Indian restaurant in Manhattan. We've been to so many of them, but Yuva stands head and shoulders above them all. Everything we had was excellent. You really can't go wrong. But the Yuva Daal is the best anywhere. Their Tandoor grilled meats are wonderful. Not cheap, but worth it. Yum.

Let me start off by saying that my wife and I live in Midtown and really enjoy Indian food. Yuva is a great dining experience for several reasons. 1.) The food is terrific. The menu is diverse, and we've tried several different items and never had a bad dish. I'm not a big shrimp person, but the sauce for the shrimp curry is incredible. We order a Nan just to make sure we eat every drop. 2.) The service is great. My water glass is never empty, and every one is really friendly. They seem to cover the dining room by committee, so there is always someone ready to take care of you. 3.) The extras. Every time we've eaten at Yuva we've gotten a lot more than we paid for. They start you with out with Papadum and NINE different dips from mild to hot! We've also never ordered dessert, but have never left without eating dessert. They always give you something sweet, and usually fairly substantial at the end of the meal. In addition, last night they offered us two of the chef's specials for the day on the house. To summarize- the food is great, the service is excellent, and you are NEVER leaving hungry or broke.

We were at Yuva for buffet. Yuva buffet is no where close to the buffer that Darbar Grill offers. Yuva's food quality is average, which any Indian food joint like Indus Express can offer. Though we got a larger selection for food but none of them tasted real good. We missed the desert of Darbar Grill so much that we even decided to go for darbar grill buffet just for deserts. For us this place was a complete turn down. - Shailesh

We've eaten at Indian restaurants all over the city, in every price range, and Yuva ranks as one of the best. The food was delicious, the service was friendly and professional and the room is quite nice. It was our first visit but we will definitely return.

good ambiance, good food. we ordered veg jalfrazi. They did not use traditional indian vegetables, but it was very wellmade esp curry base. Tandoor appetizer was good. service was good. will go back again.

I can't explain how tasty the food is. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who is willing to step out of their comfort zone.
