★★★★★ 5.0 Hani Batla · Feb 2026

One of the best Indian restaurants in NYC with food and service that’s simply exceptional. The Vada Pav is divine as they make their bread that’s just fluffy and fresh. The goat biryani and Fish curry are full of flavor and have a nice spicy flavor. Special shout out to Sunny who’s simply an incredible guy and made our meal special.

★★★★★ 5.0 John Gonsalves · Feb 2026

Kanyakumari Indian Restaurant was a really great experience. The food was very flavorful across the board, and you can tell the menu is well thought out with a nice balance of dishes. Everything came out fast, which I always appreciate. The ghee rice was especially flavorful and paired perfectly with the curries. The fish curry stood out it had deep, rich flavor with a really nice charred taste that added something extra. The shrimp curry was very good as well, nicely seasoned and cooked just right. Overall, a solid spot if you're looking for flavorful Indian food that comes out quickly and is clearly prepared with care. I'd definitely come back.

The dosa was spectacular, I loved it so much I preferred two!! The waiter was wonderful but I want to also give a special shout out to the host because she was such a sweetheart! She did a great job. I loved the chicken curry dish but the fried chicken was not as memorable, I’d say you can skip it. I also loved the vegetable stew but warning it is spicy! I also liked the creativity of the shrimp idli. Great drinks - loved the lassi

Absolutely loved our experience here! The food was delicious, especially the fish dishes—so flavorful and perfectly prepared. Every bite felt thoughtful and authentic to South Indian cuisine. Our waiter Sunny was amazing—attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely made the experience even better. The atmosphere was everything: vibrant, welcoming, and beautifully done. Already can’t wait to go back. Highly recommend!

★★★★☆ 4.0 Ankush Vardia · Jan 2026

Great tribute to Kerala cuisine. To begin with the staff is really good. Sara got us a table in a min even though we had no booking. They immediately got the baby chair setup and gave a complimentary dosa for kid. The welcome drink rasam is great and makes u salivate. Limited options for vegetarians but each one is looks great. We ordere a vada pav. Kochi stew and malabar parotta. Taste is absolute on point, kochi stew comes in generous quantity good to share between 3 pax. Overall great experience and would definitely visit again next time !
