Help us make it rightDevi brings a touch of elegant s
Renowned India-born chef and author, Suvir Saran, showcases the authentic flavors of home-cooked Indian food at his jewel box of a restaurant, Devi, which is adorned with antique elaborately-carved furniture, gauzy curtains and jeweled lamps. The menu at Devi is representative of the various diverse cuisines of the Indian subcontinent and features gems like the Bombay bhelpuri, the kerala...
Devi, signifying "goddess" in the Indian language, showcases the celebrated pan Indian cuisine in its modern avatar and was the first ever Indian restaurant to get a Michelin star in the United States. The team of Kunal Lamba (GM and Culinary Director) and Chef Dheeraj Tomar is a direct import from New Delhi just like the dining room artifacts. The restaurant is designed with wood and marble...
Among the first of NYC's "high-end Indians", this Flatironer still delivers with "delicious" subcontinental cooking (including "veggies a carnivore could die for") served up in "exotic" environs; to some "it's not the same" since Suvir Saran exited the kitchen, but the majority calls it an overall "wonderful experience."
Devi brings a touch of elegant spice and spaciousness to this sometimes gritty block of East 18th Street, located dead south of ABC Carpet & Home. Step into a warm and open space peppered with temple artifacts and draped in lanterns and gauze. A full bar sits to the right, banquettes to the left, and a balcony level dining room at the top of the stairs. The operative colors are red, yellow...
There are restaurants that bring you back to yourself and those that spirit you away. Devi belongs to the latter group. It casts its spell visually, with glowing blue and red and yellow lights, and it works its exotic magic through its take on Indian food, more varied, multidimensional, nimble and surprising here than at the scores of samosa factories throughout these vindaloo-bewitched...
Few of the many Indian restaurants in the city are like this one. Dévi offers $45 to $85 tasting menus (vegetarian and nonvegetarian), and that’s really the way to go. The menu features small courses that will let you sample much of what the restaurant has to offer. Some of the highlights include tender tandoori chicken stuffed with spicy herbs; halibut coated in a cilantro rub accompanied with...
With the preponderance of Indian restaurants in New York City, you would think another one would be welcomed with a big yawn. But few come along like Devi, which opened in late 2004. Devi offers $55 tasting menus (vegetarian and non-vegetarian) and that's really the way to go here. The menu features nine small courses that will let you sample much of what the restaurant has to offer. Some of...
Saturday early evening reservation. Entered completely empty restaurant and were led to a miniscule table at far rear of upper level next to bussing station, obviously the worst table in the place. Asked for different table in main dining room. We usually love Indian food, but were extremely disappointed with Devi. Menu is pricey, food minimal and textures odd. Extra charge for plain bland...
The food and service were disappointing. Used to be much better. Will not return
At first, Devi seemed somewhat disorganized (lunch before New Years Eve)--there were a couple of big parties, and so forth; but they got things in place, service ended up being smooth, and the food was in fact very very good indeed. With the departure of Tamarind from this neighborhood, Devi may well be the local class act...
Having read the other reviews, I was expecting good food but poor service. I thought the food AND service were quite good! The waiters were really nice and attentive. We did have a 615 reservation, so perhaps time of evening matters with regard to speed of service. We were all pleased with our experience and I would certainly go back or recommend it to others. Thanks.
By far the best indian meal I' ve ever had. Superb, yet not pricey at all!
Just steps from Manhattan's Union Square, Devi offers the authentic flavors of Indian home cooking in a warmly adorned 75-seat restaurant. Named for the mother goddess, Devi is widely praised as one of one of New York City's top Indian dining destinations, and is the only Indian restaurant in the U.S. to have earned a Michelin star. Executive chef Suvir Saran, a renowned culinary authority,...

The Flatiron District has its fair share of chic restaurants. This Indian boite impresses with style and substance. Hanging lanterns, carved woodwork and intricate textiles provide a strong sense of place, but the true star of the show is the dynamic, genre-defying menu. Dishes span several regions of India, including signature plates like tandoor-grilled Jamison Farm lamb, yam dumplings with...
The Flatiron District enjoys its fair share of chic restaurants, and among them is this high-end Indian place, whose decor and cuisine capture the more evocative nature of the Sub Continent: lanterns, brightly colored textiles, imported marble, and carved wood accents. Several regions of India are represented on the menu, and signature dishes include tandoor-grilled Jamison Farm lamb, yam...
The Extras: The tasting menus are a superb introduction to a range of dishes. But come hungry--the five-course menu is generously sized (regular or vegetarian, $55, with wine pairings $95) and fast-paced.
What to Drink: The Orange Blossom martini mixes Mandarin Blossom vodka, Cointreau and a touch of blood orange juice for a just-sweet-enough opening.
