Master Critic Review

Delhi Masala 8.6
Morningside Heights
Delhi Masala is a Central Harlem workhorse for delivery-friendly North Indian curries, tandoori platters, and value-heavy combo dinners. High-volume online ordering and all-day hours make it the default option when the neighborhood wants chicken tikka masala, saag paneer, and hot naan on short notice.
Must-Try Dishes: Chicken Tikka Masala, Saag Paneer, Garlic Naan

Value: 8.6 Service: 8 Consistency: 9.1 Food Quality: 8.7 Atmosphere: 7 Cultural Relevance: 8.7
What makes it special: A long-running Harlem curry house with huge delivery volume, combo deals, and a broad North Indian menu.
Who should go: Neighborhood regulars and families chasing reliable, affordable Indian comfort food.
When to visit: Weeknights 6–9 pm for fast service and full takeout capacity.
What to order: Vegetable samosas, Chicken Tikka Masala, Saag Paneer with garlic naan.
Insider tip: Lean on the dinner combo specials to get a samosa, curry, rice, and naan in one order, then add an extra naan or side for sharing instead of separate full entrees for everyone.
