" I love the food here! My favorite is definitely their chicken tikka masala; it’s bursting with flavor and the chicken melts in your mouth. I didn’t enjoy the ambiance as much, it felt a bit crowded during peak hours. The service was mostly friendly, though I had to wait a bit for the food. Still, if you’re craving Indian food and you’re around Penn Station, you can’t go wrong with Salt & Pepper! " (*Curated Review*)

" I cannot express how good the biryani is at Salt & Pepper! It's absolutely delicious and so fulfilling. I typically get it to go, but I enjoy my meals here as well. The ambiance is nothing fancy, but it’s cozy enough, and they do keep everything clean. My only recommendation would be to make sure you get it spicy if you like it that way! Will keep returning for the biryani! " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, my experience at Salt & Pepper was solid. The prices for the quantity you get are excellent. I had the goat curry that was rich and satisfying. The place has a lively vibe, making it great for a quick meal. However, I felt that the authenticity was a bit hit or miss depending on the dish. I would suggest a friend to check it out for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Nothing beats a post-work meal from Salt & Pepper. I always order the chicken curry, and the portions are fantastic! It's comforting to know I can get a hearty meal that’s delicious without overstretching my budget. The atmosphere is relaxed, fitting perfectly into the busy New York lifestyle. Definitely a place I'd recommend, especially for those looking for authentic Indian flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" I thought Salt & Pepper had some great Pakistani food options. I tried the kebabs and they were grilled to perfection, really juicy and flavorful. The spice levels were just right—not overwhelming but definitely present. The service was friendly, and our server checked on us often, which I appreciated. I was surprised at how affordable everything was considering the location. Definitely coming back for more! " (*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*)
