    A great Indian restaurant to try the prix fixe menu. Everything I tried was delicious. The portion sizes were good. Come hungry. The service is great too. The staff was warm and attentive. The cocktails have an Indian spin to it. Do give it a try.

    We had 3 course meal here. One of the great experience of eating vegetarian food in New York. Presentation was awesome all food tasted yummiest. Even loved cocktails with vodka. It is must to visit these restaurant all vegetarian foodies if you come to New York. Deserts were awesome taste and superb presentation. Loved to have a food here.

    Great service, clean, dishes were very polished but somewhat gave a feeling of being over manufactured. Rice Pudding was the best I ever had but the entrees and appetizers left me wanting for more depth. The flavors were good but a bit shallow for Indian cuisine. Eggplant appetizer was especially disappointing as it mostly reminded me of eating French fries dressed in condiment.

    It is an expensive, upscale Indian restaurant owned by a celebrity chef. The expectation was high. We had a prior reservation. The environment inside was laid back, cozy, and romantic, perfect for a date night. The service was fast; however, I somehow felt they were in a hurry! We started with a drink- both the alcoholic cocktail and the nonalcoholic one were good. I ordered chicken Gilafi Seekh kabab in the first course, and my friend ordered some Ghost chili murgh tikka. The chicken tikka was decent, but it was a little on the harder side. It had many elements; however, it lacked the melt-in-mouth, smoky, exquisite 'wow' factor you get in the kababs from old Delhi kabab places. The Seekh kabab was, again, decent but lacked any kabab-like aroma or flavor. The first course was rather disappointing. The main course was the star of the show. I ordered Lal Mas, and my friend got the Burra Kabab (lamb chops). They served some freshly baked naan, Dal makhani ( lentil), rice, and raita. The spiced butter naan with zatar on top was amazing. The naan and the dal were simple yet very flavorful and fantastic. Wait, did I mention the meat dish? Both the dishes were terrific. The lamb chop/Burra Kabab was good, spiced, and grilled. It was served with a sauce made with pomegranate reduction, which was delicious! The portion size of the main course was humongous. The lal mas (a mutton dish from the Indian state of Rajasthan) was perfectly spiced and flavorful with excellent quality goat meat/ mutton. The meat was very soft yet did not lose its texture. The red gravy/sauce was quite hot and spicy with an aftertaste. It was hot and spicy but never felt heavy on my stomach. I was already full. The dessert was disappointing. I wanted to order the Kulfi pops. The waitress lady pushed me towards Banana Baba. The cake and kulfi combo/ Banana Baba was just okay. A small portion of warm banana bread/ cake soaked in some orange juice? It was served with a piece of pistachio kulfi. The Kulfi was quite hard and not very creamy. Again, it's not the best Kulfi in my life. Where was the jackfruit custard on the plate? Well, I found 3-4 white cream-like dollops, which had no smell or taste (at least I cannot remember). Overall, it was nothing to be remembered—too many elements in a small element, and so challenging to cherish. The other dessert/ Cricket was quite an interesting one to see. It was a cool representation of a cricket field with green grass, etc. The centerpiece was a chikoo mousse, which was okay but nothing significant. I felt the entire dessert course was pretty underwhelming. It needs some rework. The dinner overall was fine; however, compared to the place (the name and the weight of the Michelin star accolade) and the price, I must say that I am not very impressed. I probably don't want to return.

    Overrated. The presentation is nice, and the atmosphere was great, good service, but the food was disappointing. I would expect that a high end Indian restaurant will serve more complex flavors, but I can’t say I’ve got it in that restaurant. Some of the dishes were missing flavors and even salt.

    The food is beyond fantastic! Worth every penny that you spend. Indian food at its best and nothing made us feel that we’re overspending for the name! The chef has done a brilliant job and it is definitely worth a visit when in New York! The quantity is great too and doesnt leave you hungry post the meal!

    This is a really good Indian Michelin Star restaurant in NYC so advanced reservations are needed. The bar area has an à la carte menu. The inner dining room has a tasting course. There are plenty of vegetarian options that are delicious. The dishes are not unique or innovative, but they all taste great and were perfectly executed. Our servers were excellent and explained all the dishes really well. We will surely be back.

    I visited Junoon recently for lunch with my work colleagues. The overall ambience and service of this place was excellent. The staff were cordial, helped answer our queries, and took pictures of us. But the main attraction, especially of a Michelin star restaurant, should be the food and I was slightly disappointed. We tried the 3 course meal ($49). I tried paneer for starters and mushroom truffle khichdi for the main course (that costed an extra $5). Both of these lacked flavour and were very bland. The only saving grace was the dessert - kulfi pops that were very delicious. I did try the eggplant chat that my colleague ordered and that was unique and tasty. Overall, I am happy that I got to visit Junoon but it is going to be a one time visit.

    Junoon has been our go to place for fine Indian dining. Food is best at its Indian authenticity. Service is top notch. Staff is friendly and they explain everything about food dishes. They have lot of vegetarian options to choose in 4 course dinner menu. This was our third time and we would love to keep coming back on special occasions.

    We decided to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary here and we did the dinner reservation well in advance still on that day we had to wait 45 mins for our table then what's the use of reservation? Paid way too much for mediocre food and poor customer service. If you truly love indian food please go somewhere else just high end decor is not worth your time or money

  • 4/5 Parth S. 2 years ago on Google
    We visited Junoon for a friends birthday yesterday and the overall experience was okay. Some of the food items we ordered tasted top notch and as expected from a Michelin rated restaurant, but some things were not the best. For example, we ordered a chicken appetizer which cost like $25 and we got 4 miniature popcorn sized - pieces the taste of which was okay. I mean when you going to an upscale restaurant, we always expect the quantity to be less but then the taste should be the best. (I feel I could have alone had 4-5 portions of that appetizer and still feel hungry!!) The mains were okay too - I for sure wouldn't say that the taste of the mains was quality food and something unique that will make you remember specific dishes in the future. One more note - We only saw outdoor dining available so we booked it online. When we reached the spot, it was very cold outside so we geneuinly requested if we can get a room indoors and were ready to accept a longer wait time too. But, they obviously did not even try to accomodate us :) and this was the answer that I got from the receiptionist - "if you are seating indoors you will have to order the pre-fix meal, which will cost you $85 per person". So, obviously indoors will cost more than outdoors. Overall - Drinks and deserts were great! The service was great, but the food and ambience were okay. So, all in all I felt like a one time experience and might not visit again.

  • 5/5 Arpit G. 1 year ago on Google
    Have been here couple of times. It’s always a treat. They have reinvented the place post-covid and is much cozier sitting now. All dishes are like an art as if they have an artist for a chef. Most items are yummy too. First time we had a table inside and vibe was nice. Second time we had a kid with us which they had not started allowing post covid, so they asked us if we are ok with outside. Which we did. Bad option. I would avoid outside seating. It was hot late in the evening and we all became dehydrated in a short time. Main thing about Junoon is not food but the seating and dining experience, which is missing if you sit outside. Still giving them 5 stars for the first time we went there. Will go again and get an table inside.

    I don't leave reviews often but wanted to say hats off to Junoon. A few former colleagues and I met for dinner last night and chose to do the 6 course tasting menu. They were able to make appropriate substitutes for our gluten free friend. The food and service were phenomenal. I plan to go back and take my husband sometime. Highly recommend!

    We heard a lot of good things about this place so decided to go. The people are very nice, the service is prompt and the place has classy vibe. We got the 3 course meal. The presentation and preparation was really good. The taste however was okay, a few dishes were really good but nothing to write home about. We did not like the cocktails. What we all felt was there was just too much going on with both food and drinks, in terms of flavours. And it didn’t come out that well

    I had the 6 course non vegetarian option and it was absolutely delicious. Every dish was just as intricately unique in presentation as it was in flavor. I recommend this option but keep in mind everyone at your table has to be onboard (requirement). At first I felt like the price was a bit high but after 2 or 3 dishes the value became apparent. The service was great and I really liked the interior of the restaurant, I will definitely be back!

    Incredible, innovative Indian fare. Worth the price, especially for NYC. I had the three course tasting menu for $98 (and it was plenty of food). It started off with the most incredible scallop dish— BEST scallops I’ve ever had. Then I had the most amazing cocktail, definitely top 5 best drinks I’ve ever had. Then I had the Ghost Chilli vegetarian dish for my entree, which was not too spicy and fantastically delicious. The service was excellent as well, exactly what you would expect at an upscale restaurant. Not sure why the reviews aren’t more stellar. This meal was honestly one of the best I’ve ever had.

    Junoon is a sophisticated Indian restaurant that is an elegant space with ornate accents. The staff are great and really know what is up. Since it is a Michelin starred restaurant you would expect no less. The food is top quality and it is traditional Indian food with a little twist. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is in NYC and has the money to enjoy a dinner.

    It was an amazing experience at Junoon. They are serving an authentic indian flavors with heavenly taste. The ambiance was nice and decent In design, presentation was really good and the food tastes delicious. Desserts were out of the world 😬😬 I would definitely take my family and friends there. Staff was courteous and polite and special thanks to their Manager Mr. Hemant for making my visit indelible. I would highly recommend this place if you wanna try real Indian flavors. ❤️

    When you go to a restaurant like Junoon , you not just expect to have delicious food but also look forward to getting a holistic experience of fine dining, and this is the restaurant that makes you feel like you are in one of the best Indian restaurants in the United States. Be it presentation, ambience, food, service everything was just amazing. Everything was great except the sorbet because the kulfi's were too good as compared to them, also the Summer Delight drink is a must if you haven't tried.

    Delicious Indian food with the most excellent service! Having lunch at Junoon was delightful. We had the prix fixe menu which was very fairly priced. The crispy eggplant, spiced naan and tandoor chicken were exquisite. Very keen to try their dinner menu!

  • 5/5 Bipul M. 9 months ago on Google
    One of the best Indian food menus in New York. Worth the Michelin experience. With a pre fix menu of a three course meal, it does offer decent variety and mouth watering options. We did not order cocktails as it felt too much was going on there. Desserts were a little underwhelming in taste but looked great in presentation. Dishes that stood out were Okra fries and the Duck based curry. The ambience is very nice though and the service was fantastic. Overall, it made for a great dining experience.

    brilliant Indian place, lovely for a smart casual type date. we went for the restaurant week (2023) menu which was essentially a slightly cheaper slightly more restricted version of their regular tasting menu. food wasn't pushing too many boundaries creatively but it was cooked absolutely superbly. the chicken was the best chicken I've ever had in a curry. a lovely way to end our trip in NYC!

    This is our first Michelin Star Restaurant experience and it was commendable. Paneer Pasanda was very delicious and had a sweet taste. The food is quite light on stomach. The best part is the dessert that we ordered. It’s called Cricket, which has combination of biscuit,Chickoo and Guava. Service is very quick and atmosphere is quiet and peaceful.

    Great place. Service is attentive and skilled, and the food is so good - elevated and sophisticated. Spicy ghost pepper chicken, artichoke hearts with fresh peas, goat in red chili sauce. It is really nice to find high end Indian cuisine in the city. Totally worth it!

    Mediocre presentation of food, taste is alright, If u r here for celebrating an occasion, better of going to Indian Accent, Tamarind Tribeca... Quite below par for the category, and price... Wonder how they even have Michelin 1 Star for below par presentation. Went there for Chef Vikas Khanna’s fame but I think this is restaurant is not associated with him anymore

    Really impressive Indian fusion restaurant in the heart of NY. I thought Dubai had the best Indian food, but Junoon was incredible. Time to bring it to Dubai! All the dishes were incredible. Very filling and super spicy, which is great. The lobster dish was a nice twist! Best to go for a set menu as a group and try the many dishes.

    If I could give this place more stars I would. The ambiance was beautiful, the food was other worldly, and the staff were kind and accommodating. But to get back to the food, I am a rib lover and have never had ribs as good as the ribs there. I had the 3 course meal with bread and I left full and satisfied. It was an overall amazing experience and I can’t wait to go back for a date or a fancy family dinner.

    Junoon is absolutely the most interesting restaurant I have been to.

    Great food and service. Everything we order was excellent, which is rare to find. The staff was super friendly. The lobster and bass fish dish was cooked perfectly and the gravy was excellent. Biryani was tasty and paneer was stuffed with nuts different but awesome. I just wish the apps portion were bigger four pieces for 16 bucks for each app we had.

    This is a good Indian Michelin Star restaurant in New York. An excellent dining experience. Ambience was super pleasant, calm and cozy. Staff was very nice and accommodative. We were not able to make it to the place in the afternoon due to traffic so they were able to accommodate us in dinner slot. Food was delicious, nicely presented though portions are small than usual. Pre reservations required. Would love to visit again:)

    We came here for a Sunday lunch and took the 3-course option. Food was great, fresh and flavorful. The chicken tikka and laal maas were very soft - the best I’ve had in NYC so far. Getting reservations was not that hard, compared to other Indian Michelin star restaurants. The place also has great connectivity as it is near the 23rd path station. Would definitely come back here with my parents

  • 4/5 Nilesh T. 2 months ago on Google • 33 reviews New
    Service was great when I was there. Constant attention. Food on the other hand was good but not worth the hype. The ghost pepper chicken was really tender and good and spicy but not too spicy. The Tuna Phulka wasnt that great. The caviar touch just made it taste/smell fishy (which I get that it should lol) but it didnt make pani puri any better. Lal Maas, goat was tender but not enough gravy. Anyway, its good Indian food but not Michellin style.

  • 5/5 Priyam G. 5 months ago on Google • 31 reviews
    I went to dine here on the day of Diwali and it was such a delight. The Michelin star is so well deserved. The food has a great depth of taste and each entrée, main and dessert was so well thought out, prepared and presented. An opulent dining experience and perfect if you want to impress someone on a date with a fine dining experience.

  • 4/5 Krishna J. 1 month ago on Google • 17 reviews New
    Ambience is on point. Like how the staff explained everything about the dish while serving. PS- the lunch menu is half priced with good enough options. We opted for that. Dinner menu has some extras though. My favourite was daal makhni and the kulfi pops. Superb presentation. A little over budget but must try.

  • 4/5 V R. 4 years ago on Google
    Indian food with a twist. Good size portions for lunch and the Waiter says wait till you come for dinner, We have bigger portions. Could cut down on the salt a little bit. The spices are ground fresh. You can tell from the taste. The rest rooms were clean but really stinky. The stink starts right from the stairs above. They really need to use some natural odour eliminators.

  • 5/5 Anthony F. 4 years ago on Google
    The service here was amazing, and the food top notch. I made the mistake of getting a three main meal for one person. These are not small plates, and the main course comes with a ton of sides. You could split a three mains meal between two people and still have leftovers. If you like spicy get the ghost pepper chicken, it was very good and quite hot.

    Editing my review to three stars. I went there for the NY restaurant week. I wasn't so pleased with the offering unlike other visits. The food was okay but missed the wow factor, great presentation as always. Portion was comparatively small. They could've been more innovative with the most of the dish as they used to be earlier.

  • 5/5 R D. 4 years ago on Google
    Very very good. A couple of important things to note, these details may vary based on their current menu but best to be prepared just in case. (1) Unlike most other Michelin starred restaurants I've been to, they did not pull punches on the spice levels. As a lover of fiery foods, I was thrilled by this. If you enjoy food that will open up your pores and ignite your tongue, this place can deliver the goods. (2) Be sure to save room - the main course of the prix fixe was surprisingly big. The appetizer and kebab courses are decent sizes, large enough that you would reasonably get the impression that they would be doling out the meal as 3 savory courses of roughly equal size, and then a dessert. Nope - the main course is an extravagant affair with significantly more food than the preceding courses. We did not remotely stand a chance of finishing it all. It was all delicious though!

    Enjoyed our meal here. The food was good and service was excellent. For me the appetizers were the best part of the meal. While Main I would call average. The prices are on the higher side but worth visiting this place. They do have a pre fix menu which is great with plenty of choices. Drinks were good too.

    We loved Junoon on every level! We had a reservation after a Broadway show and we arrived at 11:07pm ... 7 minutes after their last reservation. They still seated our table with huge smiles. The service was incredible. The food was amazing and beautiful. One of us left our purse and they came and found us on the street. Extra effort everywhere! This place is a class act all around.

    Attention to detail is what sets Junoon far apart from its desi brethren. The creamy and exceedingly juicy shahi lamb shank is enriched with rose petal-garam masala is devine. The most amazing Indian restaurant I have ever been. Thank you Vikas Khanna!

    Went there recently food was just below ok. Big fan of vikas khanna but they seem like to open for business and lost the TASTE in plates nothing was perfect as it supposed to be as THE VIKAS KHANNA's restaurant. I just hope they will educate their servers to be polite and focus. I hope to see him in the restaurant when i visit in summer.

  • 4/5 Kamaldeep S. 4 years ago on Google
    Junoon is an all time favorite of mine. I eat here often. It's a splurge and the service isn't like amazing. The food is classy. You pay for a lot more than what you are getting. However, it's a clean, quiet and safe environment to dine at. It's not too noisy and it's a great place to relax and wind down. I moved to New Jersey so I don't come here often anymore, however, I will definetly be coming more often again. I would even eat here daily if I lived close enough even if it costs a ton. If you can afford it, it's worth at least a try. If not, it's worth saving for like I did as a small lad. Lol.

    Want a royal dinner? Go here. Some of the best Indian food I've ever tried. Went there with my extended family - we were 10 people on a long table always served at the same time. Their food was delicious - kudos to chef Vikas Khanna for coming up with the menu, especially the Junoon naan. So so good! Is it expensive? Yes. But it's an unforgettable and unique experience. Update: Went there a second time with friends during NYC restaurant and loved it again. The food tasted just as amazing for a more reasonable price.

    My husband and I went there for dinner yesterday. We have tried other upscale restaurants in this area and I can say without a doubt that Junoon is the best. Really enjoyed drinks(5 stars to Jaljeera) , food and ambiance - true reflection of cultural heritage. Restaurant staff was very friendly too. We recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a michelin star game experience !!

    Great place , food tastes great - and it is presented well . Junoon is iconic restaurant in NYC for Indian food lovers and it rarely disappoints

    The best part about going here was during the restaurant week. The special pricing for everything made us worth the food. Honestly, the food was just ok. Although its fine dine restaurant we didn’t really feel like it was one. The weird part was they just gave single menu for entire table and didn’t even bother to ask if we needed extra menu. I didn’t think there was menu shortage. They made sure our glass was filled with water so wouldn’t complain about service. Drinks were good. Food is just average. Dont think will go back.

    No doubt their food tastes awesome. I went to Junoon on a cold Sunday. I was happy as I knew that I was going to relish some good Indian foods. To my surprise the food was even more delicious than I expected. The only disappointment was the dessert which I didn’t like much ( Again it’s my opinion which may differ from others though) . Let’s come to the look of the restaurant. I believe it seriously needs some modifications as i expected way more from once a Michelin star restaurant.

  • 3/5 Hareesh R. 4 years ago on Google
    So, turns out there are two dining rooms in this restaurant. And the experience in the "side room" is significantly terrible compared to the experience in the "main room". I was not told this when I called to book a reservation for Valentine's Day. And of course they put me in the side room - which had no live music, was unromantic, lacked in ambience, and we had an impolite and impatient server to top if off. I left with a poor impression, and won't be dining here again. I felt that the side room resembled a restaurant inside an airport terminal, than an ex-Michelin star restaurant. Well, maybe it does explain the ex part.

  • 4/5 Richie W. 4 years ago on Google
    Good vibe. Comfortable seating. Nice staff. This is the last stop of this restaurant week. 5 stars for the ice-cream, the leaf and rose flavors were stunning. 4 stars for entrees. They were spicy and flavorful. Rice and breads were delicious. 3 stars for appetizers. The sourness is kinda overpowering other flavors.

  • 4/5 Shashank A. 3 years ago on Google
    The food was not bad but wasn't memorable for the reputation - when we visited Junoon a long time ago they made us order everything at once, which I found odd. The place is well kept and sophisticated though.

  • 5/5 Nikhil S. 3 years ago on Google

  • 3/5 Julia B. 4 years ago on Google
    We had lunch with a group of three in the Junoon. The atmosphere and the decoration is nice, the food had a good quality and was nicely served, but nothing special. Not every course was to my taste. And if you are not used to have it spicy, better ask before which dish is served hot and which is not. The service was a mixed experience, one of the two waiters was nice, the other grumpy and unwelcoming. Special orders are not getting fullfilled as well. So for the food, you can give it a try, but the service is lacking a lot for a classy place like this.

  • 4/5 Yun Fei S. 4 years ago on Google
    I forgot this was another Michelin star offering at #NYCRestaurantWeek. It was a really good satisfying meal with elevated versions of Indian classics. I personally preferred @rahinyc more, which imho was just more innovative and exciting - but if you are a purist who likes food to stay true to its roots but also be excellent, then @junoonnyc is definitely for you. My top five, in order of love: 1. Eggplant Chaat - super savory crisp chips with a bit of heat; I could eat this forever 2. Pork Mundu Chili - lusciously melty, spicy-sweet pork belly 3. Ghost Chili Murgh Tikka - deceptively benign-looking spicy af tender chicken 4. Ma's Rice Pudding - I swear this has crack in it 5. Artichoke Mattar - just rich, tomato deliciousness Also, the bathrooms are huge.

    Me and my wife were on a dinner date at Junoon and we absolutely loved it. The ambience and the atmosphere were really good. The staff were very professional and knew exactly what the menu was all about and made excellent recommendations. Finally the food - excellent on all aspects. We had ordered a bunch of stuff and we’re satisfied to the fullest. Excellent Indian restaurant.

  • 5/5 Trisha T. 3 years ago on Google
    I've been to a lot of restaurants for restaurant week behind a local and I will say this place has by far the best service I've experienced. Everyone they're has a smile ready and are so polite. And that's in addition to the great food! As someone who does not often have Indian food and having gone with someone has Indian type cuisine regularly, I think it's fair to say we were both blown away. The layers of flavor were fantastic, the texture of the paneer was perfect, and the sauces had us ordering extra naan to clean the plate. I would definitely recommend this restaurant, especially to those hesitant to try Indian food. Thank you for the amazing experience!

  • 5/5 Arjun B. 3 years ago on Google

    This is one of the best Indian restaurants in NYC, from the service to the food it was amazing. It is a fancy place so expect fancy prices but it’s worth it and good for special occasions. I had the butter chicken and lamb shank and the falooda dessert. Everything was so flavorful with authentic flavors plus with a twist.

    Butter chicken and garlic naan were good. We also ordered chicken and lamb Biryani. It was not Biryani. It was more like Khichadi mixed with veggies and chicken/lamp. Most of the Indian restaurants have this issue. They put Biryani in their menu but either make fried rice or khichadi rice. Was excited to try this place due to good reviews. I think other items are good, but it’s not true Biryani.

    Great presentation of food, sweets are really sweet and again great presentation. Wine and single malts what can I say, great selection. We loved three course dinner because 6 of us tried everything on the menu. We loved the food so much that we requested chef to join us on the table. Chef is young 27 yrs old and very friendly, originally from New Hyde Park Ny. Great potential. Expensive yes but worth every dollar. Will I go back ? Yes many more times

  • 1/5 Janet C. 2 years ago on Google
    Service is not according to the restaurant standing. Small restaurant have better services than Junoon. Had book the table days ago to celebrate but no courtesy to call and inform that we cancel your table last min because we got bigger party reservation at last min. We had to sit outdoor which could have done at anywhere. We did have to make reservation. I do understand they got big party at last min, but they have courtesy to call the other customers and tell them. If we knew we might have gone somewhere else. FOOD is better small $ restaurant than at Junoon. Wouldn't not recommended it all big names scam... Very disappointed.

  • 4/5 Satya A. 2 years ago on Google
    Good food. Good ambience. The hype of the Michelin star and expectations of tasting something beyond phenomenal, was so high at my end that I was upset that there were no fireworks. However, the food was fantastic on its own. Just go with less expectations, you wont be disappointed. It was good on it's own.

  • 5/5 Mateo Salam P. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Shilpa V. 2 years ago on Google
    This restaurant is amazing!!! It was my first time there. Reservations were easy to make and got a confirmation text promptly. Staff was very friendly and took us to our table even though we were 15 minutes early.Service was prompt and the staff helped make some suggestions. The eggplant chaat and brain toast were delicious! The lamb chops and Murg Labdadar were cooked to perfection and melted in your mouth! Garlic naan was great but also loved the Junoon naan which has some spices and was unique! They also served rice and 2 types of daal. The desserts were out of this world - the classic trio with the Shahi Tukda ( sweetened bread) which was very rich and the fallooda was a dream.The kulfis we’re such interesting flavors- especially the paan one. Last but not least, we were celebrating our anniversary and they surprised us with a lovely LOVE mousse! It was so sweet of them! The staff was very attentive ! I was unsure when I went there because of the mixed reviews but fell in love with the place and will definitely go back again!!

  • 5/5 Cameron S. 2 years ago on Google
    By far the best Indian restaurant in NYC. Wonderful service and ambiance. Junoon has perfectly combined creative cooking styles and presentation with the traditional flavors at the highest level. I’ve attached some pictures of highlights from our tasting menu last night. Excited to go back very soon!

    We went to Junoon for our wedding anniversary lunch. This is one of the few Michelin star restaurants in US and a reservation is highly recommended due to its popularity. Lunch can be ordered à la carte or prix fixe (2 course/3 course). Dinner, however, is only available as a 3 course prix fixe. They have both outdoor and indoor seating as is prevalent in many NYC restaurants. The restaurant's ambiance is nice. We were promptly greeted at the reception and escorted to our table. The service was top-notch. The server was able to explain the menu items while we were making our choices. All the food was also described in detail when it was served to us. The servers and manager checked on us from time to time. For the drinks, we had Passionfruit Jaljeera (as recommended) and Summer Delight. I would say that both the drinks were just okay. In the appetizers, we ordered Saloni Maachi and Gosht Chili Murgh Tikka. As expected in fine dining restaurants, the portion size was for a single person only. The presentation of the dish was visually stunning and the fish and the chicken were perfectly seasoned, spiced and tasty. For our mains, we had Murgh Lababdar, Lal Mas accompanied with Hara Paratha and Junoon Spiced Naan. The food was delicious. We were expecting Lal Mas to be spicy but it was not unlike the usual authentic way. Banarasi Bread Pudding and Classic Trio (shahi tukra, falooda shot, pistachio kulfi) were the deserts we really cherished and were scrumptious. The manager also brought us a small plate of "LOVE" chocolate and they wished us on our Anniversary which was heart warming. Overall an A+ experience of fine dining, with flavorful food which truly deserves a five star google review rating.

  • 5/5 Oubon B. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent food and service. Came here for my birthday celebration and truly enjoyed myself. But pricy so I think it will be a special occasion place for us. However I definitely recommend! Our waiter took the time to explain the dishes to us and the food came out fast. We opted to dine in the dining room which Prix fixe is the only option.

  • 5/5 Gail C. 1 year ago on Google
    We tried the restaurant week menu and I have to say the food was outstanding and the service was excellent! The shrimp moilee was cooked to perfection and full of flavor. The mango margarita was so refreshing and bursting with flavor. The rice pudding truly felt like a hug, and is made by the chef’s mom ♥️ highly recommend trying this spot.

  • 5/5 Harbinder S. 1 year ago on Google
    It was our third time with Junoon in three weeks. We ordered in twice and went for prefixed lunch on Thursday. Each of the four items we had were remarkably good both in terms of quality as well as taste. This was our second in person visit and both the ambience as well as the service were great. We strive to eat only quality food outside and Junoon passed our quality food tests each time.

  • 5/5 Kelly M. 10 months ago on Google
    A great Indian restaurant with a very worthwhile prix fix menu - the portions were generous and the flavors definitely hit the mark. The service was also incredible, the waitstaff were lovely and helpful in answering any questions/sharing more about the dishes. While the plating of the appetizer veered towards unnecessarily extravagant, I thoroughly enjoyed my main course and dessert - I couldn’t recommend the kulfi pops enough. As someone who doesn’t drink much, I also appreciated the attention to curating zero proof and low proof drink options!

  • 3/5 Kam C. 8 months ago on Google
    I really wanted to like this restaurant. I had heard good things about it and was excited to give it a try. My first gripe was the management. The junior manager was cold and rude. She did not want to accommodate our request, delegating it to the more senior manager. He spoke to my family member somewhat rudely - enough for it to partially ruin the meal for me. Food wise - I hate to say it, but not worth it. For a party of 5, we spent $700. New York has so many amazing Indian restaurants that won’t cost you that much. That being said, the food was really quite delicious. Seasoned well, plenty of flavor, good portions. We chose the 3 course option and decided to share what we ordered. The standouts were the goat shank, duck tenderloin, and masala ribs. I would say this is a good place to try once.

The ambiance of the restaurant added to the charm, leaving us with cherished memories of the day filled with love, laughter, and culinary excellence.
