Paisley

The Indian fine dining space in New York has become crowded with everyone trying to one up each other with something new and gimmicky. So I was hesitant to try Paisley thinking it would be just another one - but boy was I wrong! It's quite possibly the best addition to the Tri-State area for yummy home cooked Indian food with origins from Goa and Kerala which I will say is almost impossible to find here for the real flavor.

Our groups was large enough to try a wide variety of dishes from vegetarian to meats and seafood. I can't say that one was better than the other because they were all quite equal for what they accomplish. That day I was in a seafood mood so the crab and fish curry stood out for me. It's been a while since I was last in Goa that this surely took me back faster than getting on a plane - which I can't right now.

The decor is modern with colorful low lighting. While indoor dining is still closed there is a party room for private events when things open up. The weather was perfect that evening to sit out which made the experience that much better.

This was one of my top meals of recent time and I can't wait to go back for more.

Loved our dinner here. The owner came out to talk with us a couple of times and was warm and welcoming.
Food and drinks were excellent, not too heavy and my husband especially remarked that it wasn’t oily. Excited to have them in the neighborhood!

Delicious food and very friendly staff. Owner came out and spoke to us to make sure we were enjoying our meals and experience. Highly recommend!

5 Stars aren't enough! The friendliest and most knowledgable staff and equally amazing food. They were also big supporters of the NYC C19 soup kitchens and meals for essential workers, donating countless meals. If that isn't enough to come here, their margaritas are excellent too.
