" Salt & Pepper is a hidden gem in the city! I stumbled upon it while looking for halal options near Penn Station. The kabobs are fantastic—perfectly grilled with a smoky flavor. I would recommend anyone try their specialties. On the downside, it was pretty noisy, probably due to the lunch rush. The service could also be improved; they seemed overwhelmed but were polite. However, don’t let that deter you! The food is great and came out promptly. I can’t wait to come back and try their samosas next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Salt & Pepper for the first time last weekend—what a huge variety on their menu! I had read about their Indian dishes and decided to try the chicken biryani and the butter chicken. The biryani was very flavorful! Plenty of spices, and the chicken was tender. The butter chicken, however, didn’t quite hit the mark for me; it was slightly bland. The ambiance was nice, very busy but welcoming. It’s a great place for casual dining. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Salt & Pepper last week, and I must say, it was a delightful experience! Upon entering, I noticed the cozy atmosphere and the enticing aroma of spices. I ordered the chicken tikka masala and was impressed by how well it was cooked—the chicken was tender and the sauce had the perfect level of spice. The portion was generous, and it was paired with freshly made naan. The service was friendly, and my waiter made excellent recommendations. I would definitely return to try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" What I loved about Salt & Pepper is the excellent value it offers. You can get a good-sized meal for under $15 in Manhattan! I ordered the chicken curry platter, and it came with rice and naan—a great deal for the quantity. The ambiance is casual, so perfect for lunch breaks. However, I would say the authenticity varies, as the flavors felt slightly toned down for a broader audience. Still, this spot is worth a visit if you're in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had been hearing about Salt & Pepper for months, so I finally decided to check it out. I went with high expectations, and for the most part, they were met! I had the butter chicken, which was creamy and delicious, but the rice was slightly overcooked. The ambiance is relaxed and casual, great for a laid-back meal. While the flavors were good, I do wonder how authentic it is compared to traditional Indian restaurants. I’d return to try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes based on the reviews, but I was a bit disappointed. The food was average at best, especially for someone used to authentic Indian cuisine. I tried the chickpea curry, but it seemed lacking in flavor. The service was okay—polite but not particularly attentive. The place was clean, though, and it has a nice vibe. A decent option if you're in the neighborhood, but I'm not sure I would seek it out again. " (*Curated Review*)

" Salt & Pepper has become my go-to lunch spot! The food is consistently good. I particularly love their chicken and lamb curries. The flavors are always rich, and the portions are generous which makes it a great value. The dining area gets busy, but the staff does their best to keep up during the lunch rush. I appreciate that they offer a variety of cuisines—perfect for anyone dining with groups that have varied tastes! " (*Curated Review*)
