OM

This is hands down the best Indian restaurant on the Upper East Side. My wife and I go weekly for the unbeatable Chicken Tikka and Chicken Curry. The flavors are always perfect, but the real secret ingredient is the incredible staff. Warm, attentive, and always making us feel at home.

OM is a cozy Indian restaurant on the Upper East Side. Though the space isn’t large, it’s clean and inviting. The tables are relatively close together, but not to the point of feeling cramped. The food here is excellent. I’ll leave it to locals to judge its authenticity, but every dish was flavorful and made with wholesome ingredients. The samosas were perfectly fried, with a crisp exterior and a potato-and-bean filling infused with a blend of spices. I couldn’t pinpoint each one, but they harmonized beautifully. The Chicken Korma was a standout, generously packed with nuts, pineapple, and raisins, all soaked in a rich almond cream sauce. I loved drenching my rice in the sauce—it made every bite a joy.

As our main course: I got the OM Daal and it was delicious. The lentils were perfectly cooked and no

Amazing place on the UES. I ate here weekly for 6 months. Lowkey but with UES flair. Importantly the food is authentically Indian.

The staff:- kind, friendly and always on top of things!
