YUM! – I had dinner here with some friends from out of town and at first we were shocked at the tiny portions. . . But they kept coming and they were soooo good! I would highly recommend Vatan. The decor was fun and I love any excuse to eat with my hands.
My favorite restaurant in New York!! – I love this place!! Everytime someone visits me from out of town, I take them to Vatan. We always eat so much we feel uncomfortable, but we have a great time every time. I've never had a bad experience there, always had very attentive service (the ladies explain each item, how it is to be eaten and even ask if you would like it spicier next time) and the ambience is excellent. Be sure you sit at the tables where you sit cross-legged with your shoes off!
record straight – Vatan isn't your typical N/S Indian restaurant as you can tell by the polarized reviews. If you're looking a spicy vindaloo or a tikka masala head to a "curry house" instead. For the rest, it is a great opportunity to sample a plentiful and varied menu from the largely vegetarian Indian region of Gujrat. The elaborate decor recreates a small village, centered around a large banyan tree. Most will find it charming/romantic while some a little kitschy (as all theme restaurants are). It's just like being in In... read more
Best Indian Food in City – ALmost 99.9% of Indian restaurants in USA or UK serve food that has absolutely no similarity of food you eat at home. This one is REALLY authentic (both in decor and taste). If you go to any joint on Lexington, it is like going to Pizza Hut to enjoy real Italian food!!! This one definetly made mo home sick. The service is indeed bit uptight.
10? 9?-Give me a break!!! – If you're the tourist crowd I suppose you might like this place but by New York standards the interior is kitschy and the food boring(and I asked for extra spice!). The service was ok until the place started to crowd up then I got the feeling they wanted us to settle the tab and go. No problem, I was bored by the food and the atmosphere too. Definately for the Disney crowd-they'll think they saved the trip to Epcot. New Yorkers have better choices nearby.
Wonderful experience – My experience at Vatan was fantastic from start to finish. Unlike some of the other reviews here, the reservation was upheld, the waiter took the time to explain each dish and frequently asked if we wanted more of anything (which we did, several times). The food was excellent (even for a die hard meat lover). I would definitely recommend this place.
Go to Pongal or Madras – Everyone is entitled to their opinion but all the "10" reviews are WRONG. I too couldn't get in the first time I tried because of a reservation "mix up". I should have taken the hint but I went again with some friends(one of whom is Indian). The interior filled with plastic palms and fake bambo isn't "romantic" as another reviewer noted-it's corny. My Indian friend thought it was an insulting cliche. He also thought the food rather one noted and rote. No way was it "just like home". I agree with the ... read more
WOW – Two weeks ago I was in the city with some friends looking for some traditional indian food. Being vegetarians they have everything we were looking for. Great samosas, tasty khichidi, and a great selection of wine. The price is well worth the quality and quantity of food. I would suggest this place to anyone who enjoys good food, beautiful atmosphere, and prompt and courteous service.
rude service – I went there with a group of friends and found the service to be extremely rude and inattentive. The food was horrible and bland, servings were extremely small. They balked when one of my companions asked for seconds. They couldn't wait for us to leave. For the price they charge you, go somewhere else.
