Salt & Pepper

Avg Indian food meh it’s ok but it will do. not the best quality but like I said for $ 7 for an entrée it will do

Food isn’t bad but it isn’t good either. The owner are Indian or brown and could care less about the customer experience. They just slab the food on your plate charge you 2 dollars extra of what the price should have been on their flyer amd move on the the next poor sucker. I suggest not going to his place. Btw the wifi sucks!

Visiting NYC and was pleasantly surprised by this no-​frills place for lunch! We were starving after waking everywhere! Been looking for a place that didn’t cost an arm & a leg! Was checking out both pubs nearby when my hubby spotted this place! Service with a smile by a lovely lady. I ordered Bbq chicken with rice & mash for $ 6.99 as well as my sis with her curry, spinach & rice. Loved mine and my sis loved hers too! Hubby got Steak for $ 14 & he loved it as well! So happy to have found this so close to our hotel amidst all these so-​so, high price places! Don’t get me wrong! I love going to fancy places especially being a foodie! But I also want it to be reasonably priced and taste good. Nothing more I hate wasting money eating horrible food! So I can’t wait to check out their breakfast tomorrow! Will update after!

This food is aswome and for a good price too. The spanish food is favorful and their grill chicken salad is good. This is a perfect place to go to after a knicks game. This food Will make you forget about the knicks losing all the time.

I walk by this spot daily on my way to work, and I’ve become a fan. My first stop in was for a breakfast platter of sorts — I think I had eggs, French toast, and a meat. I got it to go — they did not MAKE me sit and eat. Everyone that works here is very pleasant and friendly. The food was delicious, and one of the first breakfasts I’ve enjoyed in the city that didn’t cost me an arm and a leg. Since then, I’ve stopped by for a juice in the morning. The juices aren’t huge, but only $ 5, and will certainly hold me over until lunch. The only reason why I did not give 5 stars is that sometimes the gentleman that works the register gets hurried and flustered when a lot of people come in at once and he rushes the making of my juice. No biggie, but still.

The pizza requires improvement. The sauce is broken and gritty. There is question as to how long the pizza has been sitting out in the open. Not recommended.

Fabulous find near Macy’s! Has everything from American, Spanish to Indian/​Pakistani food. Everything is really tasty and prices are unbeatable! Can’t go wrong. Not sure why the reviews are low. If it’s for service I ask what kind of service you expect in a fast food place. Staff are courteous. Food is tasty and cheap. What more do you need to hear?!

The food was okay. I ordered the Philly Cheese Steak and it came on a chewy sandwich bun. The meat looked like gyro meat. The cheese was your basic Kraft American cheese.
The service was nice. The seating area was very spacious.
The guy sitting across the room seemed to be really enjoying his meal. He had this big smile on his face! Wish I ordered whatever he had!

Ladies and gentlemen of Unilocal Manhattan, it is a collective shame and a black mark across ourselves that such an establishment has a mere 2.5 stars. Our uppity middle class bourgeois selves need to be collectively slapped off our high horses. This place is awesome.
Not every restaurant can be a charming, intellectual little place in Chelsea with exposed brick and witty drink menus in millenial sans-​serif typefaces. Nor should they be, thank god. I can only take so much of being around people in blazers with perfectly volumized hair talking about Soulcycle or their latest idea for a social media optimization startup. Sometimes I just want to eat some real food around some real people.
One plebian Sunday morning, my dear boyfriend and I were searching for a greasy-​spoon, B-​grade-​on-​the-​health-​inspection type of place to get a massive stack of pancakes. Not some fancy-​ass buckwheat pecan-​caramel-​golddust-​locally-​grown-​snobbery pancakes. Just some normal goddamn Aunt-​Jemima-​mom-​made-​this-​as-​a-​treat-​on-​Sunday-​mornings-​instead-​of-​99-​cent-​discount-​brand-​knockoff-​Cheerios kind of pancakes.
Apparently this was an impossible feat at 2pm on a Sunday around 34^th and 6^th, and we ended up at Parker and Quinn instead, reluctantly taking off our real-​people hats. The food was delicious, but still left an Aunt-​Jemima shaped hole in our hearts, and our wallets. The New York Unilocal definition of «two dollar sign brunch place» is quite unlike anywhere else in the world.
On Monday morning we were determined not to fall again for nicely designed menus, real pepper grinders, or well-​coiffed waiters in collared shirts. We would accept nothing less than tacky, pixelated photos on overcrowded menus. We demanded salt and pepper packets and plastic cutlery. Our exacting standards for décor left no room for compromise: if there was any aesthetic intention beyond the strictly functional, we wold turn around and walk right back out the door.
Salt and Pepper delivered on all of the above. To top it off, we were served the most delicious, massive stack of real-​people pancakes that I had ever tasted for 7 bucks. And the home fries — holy crap. I would have devoured that stuff by the bagful. They also make their omelets with real cracked eggs, unlike a lot of breakfast places that target a «loftier» clientele (*cough* the Blake and Todd outside my office, frequented by unremarkable dress-​shirt types). None of that liquid egg mix stuff, and you can taste the difference.
Have never stopped in for lunch or their other items, but if brunch was anything to go on, they will deliver.
Service was fine. I mean, the same guy who takes your order also cooks your food and is responsible for cash. Pretty impressive, all things considered.
I know we live in Manhattan, so this is hard — but if you ever get the urge, like I do, to be a real person once in a while, over a stack of really good pancakes or eggs, you can count on Salt and Pepper, haters be damned.
My hat is off to the fine folks who run this place.

Flavors are pretty good and the price is right. Don’t try getting an extra scoop of anything unless you’re prepared to be met with a fair amount of scowling (scowls free of charge).
I will say this. On occasion, and by this I mean, a roll of the dice, you will find there is fish tikka waiting for you. This means you can walk in a dozen times and it won’t be made. But when it its there you nearly won’t care that it was fried in thrice-​used oil. The spices are just right. I HATE that it isn’t there and I serve the owner my own fresh scowls when I find its not made. To be honest, I leave when it isn’t there. #pescetarian.
Anyway, no frills decent ethnic food again, on the cheap. Worth a shot IMHO.

I have worked in the area for the past 8 years and generally go here for the chicken stew (white meat chicken stew), grilled chicken breast or the beef stew. If you’re in a hurry and have a craving for Spanish food, you can’t go wrong with this place. Generous portions, nice chunks of white meat chicken. It’s really difficult to get that much chicken breast in a dish for $ 7.25 in this area.
The four stars is for the Spanish food only. I’ve tried the Indian food, as well as the pizza, and I’d recommend searching for alternatives if you’re looking for that type of food.

So, I was lured to this place by one of their lackies with a huge sign outside of Old Navy. I was absolutely starving after shopping all day. And the food on the sign looked good. I was just looking for some quick, cheap, good eats. The place is a little of an eyesore, but I thought ok, I’ll just order from their buffet of food and be on my way. No– they want you to sit down for table service like a normal restaurant. No ordering yourself. Ok, I have no issue with table service, but at least clean the tables off and give me the real dining experience of not having to eat off of thin paper plates with flimsy plastic utensils! Then you have the nerve to look for a tip after I had to repeatedly ask for my drink! This place should establish itself like a proper restaurant if they want waitstaff.
The food was so so-​they call themselves serving an array of Latin, Indian/​Pakistani, and continental“cuisine” which includes steaks or pizza. That’s a red flag right there. Me, being a sucker for Indian, tried the curry chicken. I had to ask for my mango lassi (which didn’t taste right at all-didn’t even finish it, and I usually can’t get enough of a good lassi!) and the naan bread several times before receiving it. I left a 3 dollar tip on a 17.00 meal. NOT a pleasurable dining experience!

ABSOLUTE GARBAGE. This is by far the worst food I have ever tasted. Just terrible. Do not come here. You are better off starving. The waiters also demand and expect you to tip them. Save yourself the trouble and do not come here!

Lot of space to sit but congested. Poor service. Taste is ok. Quantity is less for the price compared to other restaurants. Too much of bone in lamb curry. They play news channel on mute without a CC. Trays are not clean…

Absolutely the worst. The cashier in the morning is completely rude, unpleasant and just plain nasty. Went there one morning to order breakfast, paid and left. The next day went to order the same breakfast and he added an extra dollar to the bill. I asked (politely) him why he overcharged me and he literally just started to just yell at me and slammed the register shut. I asked him about why he was yelling at me and then he just started going off about how he has to pay high rent and such. This exchange went on for a good 5 minutes about how it wasn’t right for me to be overcharged, but he continued yelling despite me proving to him what I had paid just the day before. The chef, who happened to be the only welcoming person working there, had finished cooking the meal. I paid what I had paid the day before and left. Never again will I go here, and unless being treated poorly for their pleasure is your thing, I strongly suggest doing the same.

Service; lack there of. Lol it’s 100% a family business. Looks like father and son run the grill, mother on the register & the sister takes care of the tables. (Could I possibly be wrong? Yes, do I care? LOL no.) So basically this place is like the Walmart of halal carts. Just doesn’t taste as good. It’s I asked for extra tzadziki and the waitress looked at me like I killed her cat. Then after some explanation the «white sauce» (watered down mayo and some cumin) was brought to me. In all the meal was pretty shitty. So I came back the next day and thought I’d give it another shit. Clearly I’m an idiot. It was just as crappy. So that’s it. The end. Try it, maybe you’ll like it.
I’d like to add the waitress looks like she works a 24 hour shift. I tipped her extra because it looked like she was going to strangle some one soon.

Hybrid of a fast food and sit-​down restaurant that reminds of the food court style. They serve Indian, Spanish, and American food. The portions are generous and the service is very quick.

This place allowed us to sit down and eat while getting out quick so we could continue on with our day. They also allowed me to use their bathroom which was amazing. I ordered the cheese steak and it was great! If you order rice, make sure it comes from the Pakistani/​Indian side of the food bar. The rice from the Latin side (left) was flavorless.

This place isn’t bad (3 stars is still good) and for value/​amount of food it’s good.
It’s a lunch spot outside of the Gap and good for people who want to just grab and go. With that said they offer a wide range of ethnic cuisines from Spanish food — like roast pork over rice and beans with a little salad on the side, to Indian buffet like fare — like paneer and tiki masala over basmatti.
There are other things there and it seems like the food rotates with different things as well. The seating area is pretty clean, but not really welcoming. It’s like a cafeteria with a bunch of different things you could get and pay at one register.

I love Indian food and have gone to numerous restaurants in Manhattan, Queens (Elmhurst) and Long Island (Hicksville). I was hoping to find a decent place near work so I could satisfy my lunch craving but this place was pretty awful. I ordered the Chicken Masala and it was completely dry, flavorless and over priced. They charged $ 11 ($ 12 with tax) for the order and basically jammed in a ton of rice with about 3 pieces of chicken and a load of sauce. I was tempted to remind him that i ordered chicken and not rice. I was hoping that the flavors would make up for the lack of chicken but was sadly disappointed — it was flavorless and lacked any heat. To make matters worse, the server had a negative attitude like he was doing me a favor.
I highly recommend to punt on the Indian food in this establishment.
