09 Nov, 2024Top notch Indian food with great appetizer offerings. Drinks were good too! Location and setting were a bit off since it’s in the corner of the Essex market but was a great experience all around! Very tasty and spicy food

01 Dec, 2024Today my husband and I had dinner at Dhamaka. We flew from Houston just to have dinner at Dhamaka for our anniversary. For a long time we have been following Chef Chintan and we loved his passion to serve authentic Indian cuisine. To get that experience we visited Dhamaka and it truly justifies its name. As soon as we entered the receptionist welcomed us with a greeting. Our servers Yola and Richard were so attentive and explained the menu very well. Both of them made our day very memorable by making us feel special. They were talking so passionately about our Indian food that caught our eyes and we were so impressed. Now comes the main part 'Dhamaka' for which we specially came to New York. For appetizers we ordered Bohri chicken cutlet and butter pepper garlic crab. The first bite of cutlet took us to Mumbai's Mohammed Ali road Eid feast. It was perfectly cooked and so flavorful. The crab meat was fresh and had a nice creamy texture with black pepper. We were lucky to get Champaran meat and it was super tasty. The meat was perfectly cooked and flavorful. That flavor of garlic was making it outstanding. As we were celebrating our anniversary Yola served us Roohafza and Lassi shots which was a complete surprise and took us to our childhood. Mr. Ganesh was very attentive and we got the opportunity to chat with him. He passionately talked about serving authentic dishes and how Dhamaka is always curating best recipes to serve the food lovers. We love the food so much that we expressed our happiness in front of Mr. Ganesh and he was so generous to give us the opportunity to meet Chef Neel. Chef Neel is a gem of a person and we could express our thoughts and how the food took us back to the memory lane. Then we had kulfi and rabri, which were yummy and delicious. Rabri has a perfect balance of sweetness and texture. Kulfi was having our original flavors and not at all felt watery. I am out of words to talk about it as it's amazing. After this experience Dhamaka will be an emotion for us as they serve the best food along with the best experience. We have been to the Michelin star restaurants but never felt the warmth, welcoming and perfection you guys have from service to food. Thank you so much for serving authentic Indian food with love and looking forward to having dinner again.

26 Nov, 2024Had an amazing experience at dhamaka. Did not know what to expect but I definitely did not want the large garlic naan and orange curry. And Dhamaka delivered. You will notice a simple menu without the usual Indian "fare" of multiple panee lr and chicken dishes. The well thought thru menus was just right, the drinks were a bit sweet but fancy. I need to go there again, you definitely need to tryout the food. Remember the entrees are massive, just order one for the table. .

01 Oct, 2024This Indian cuisine is so amazing. I’ve never tried Indian food before, but I guess I will try more in the future. The cocktail is not what I expected, but all the dishes the rice, the curry, the crab are so amazing. We have tried all the cocktail on the list but none of itwe like. Definitely will visit this place again for the Indian cuisine.

15 Oct, 2024Went here with a party of 4. We didn’t have a reservation and was seated right away. Our waitress, Gauri, was incredible, very knowledgeable of the dishes and so personable! The food came out fast and was delicious. Favorites were the paneer and lamb appetizers. Also the music/vibe/ambiance was great.
