Shady Pricing Practices and Poor Management Overshadow Good Food ❌🍽️ Our visit to Baazi NYC was a deeply frustrating experience that started with so much promise but ended in a total lack of trust. While the food was objectively good and our server was genuinely nice and kind, the evening was completely spoiled when the check arrived. We discovered significant overcharges: the Paneer Sabzi was billed at $22 despite being listed as $18 on both the menu and their website, and the Dal was charged at $20 instead of the advertised $13. When we inquired, the owner dismissively explained that their POS system had been updated even if the menus hadn't. Rather than apologizing for the lack of transparency, he claimed their "regular" customers already knew about the price hikes, making us feel as t

We walked into Baazi without reservations on Diwali, arguably one of the busiest nights of the year, and were welcomed into its small, intimate space. The atmosphere immediately felt special. While the service was leisurely, it felt intentional—part of the experience rather than a flaw. It allowed us to savor the evening and the incredible meal that followed. The food was absolutely excellent, from start to finish. We had: ek aur baazi cauliflower amritsari fish chicken chandi tikka lamb shank rogan josh 2 day dal makhani Every dish was a standout. The lamb was fall-off-the-bone tender, the dal was rich and complex, and the appetizers set a perfect tone. It was a fantastic meal at a place that clearly values quality. We'll definitely be back.

I went to Baazi with a friend of mine last night. We both got the New Delhi-style butter chicken and mango lassi while splitting garlic naan and rice. It was all delicious. The staff was so friendly and the service was incredibly quick! The ambiance of the restaurant is absolutely beautiful, it's a small but elegant space and they played beautiful smooth jazz music. The food was all reasonably priced. I 10/10 recommend this place for Indian food on the Upper West Side!

We had 3 main dishes between the 2 of us - Malabari lobster tail, Lamb shank rogan josh, and G.O.A.T. Bihari - and they all had meat/fish of perfect texture with rich, spicy sauces that complimented w/o overwhelming the meat & all were all very different. It was a pleasure to keep making the round of them until they were gone. Friendly & really smart waiter (Pranith, I think), gentle ambience, and great service. I can't recommend this place highly enough.

I went to this restaurant because google recommended us that is one of the best restaurants in NYC. Now I dont trust google. Only reason I am giving it 2 star because food was okay. Following are the reasons I will never go to this restaurant again and I wont recommend this restaurant to anyone, except my enemies I guess. • Despite having reservations, we were made to wait for 20 minutes outside on the sidewalk. • Our table was already ready and just being cleaned after the previous guests meaning they don’t actually check or honor online reservations. • People who came after us were seated and served before us. • There was only one waiter working that night, and we literally had to call him over just to get our order taken. • The waiter’s communication was so unclear that I had to guess
