" Vatan is a charming spot that combines fantastic food with warm hospitality. The thali we ordered was luxurious in flavor! Having never tried authentic Gujarati food, I was pleasantly surprised by the variety and richness of every dish. Our server was friendly and took care of us throughout. However, I felt the pacing of our courses was a bit slow, particularly towards the end of the meal. Definitely worth checking out, but be prepared for a leisurely dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Vatan is a hidden gem! My friends and I visited last week and it exceeded all our expectations. Every course was delicious, and we couldn't believe how much variety was served! The waiter was friendly and made excellent suggestions. What’s better is the portions—huge! We had to ask for a to-go box because we couldn’t finish! The ambiance is cozy yet vibrant—it’s definitely a place I would return to with family and friends. So glad to have discovered this wonderful restaurant. " (*Curated Review*)

" Having tried various Indian restaurants in the city, Vatan stands tall among them! The all-you-can-eat Gujarati thali is a must-try—every dish reflects genuine Indian flavors. Our waiter was exceptionally patient and took the time to explain each dish to us, which deepened our appreciation for their origins. I particularly enjoyed the bhindi (okra) and the chana dal, both were amazing. Do save room for the dessert; they were rich and delicious! Highly recommend for anyone seeking an authentic experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Vatan provides a very sensory experience! The decor is beautifully themed, immersing you in a cultural atmosphere that brings Indian village life right to NYC. We had the Gujarati thali, which is presented beautifully, and the flavors are complex and delightful. I appreciate the variety offered in each course, allowing us to try many things. The service was excellent; our server was personable and attentive without being overbearing. I did think the dessert portion could have been slightly larger, but everything else was plentiful and satisfying. " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally got to experience Vatan and it lived up to its reputation! From the moment we stepped in, the atmosphere was inviting and the decor truly immersive. The authentic Gujarati thali was offered in unlimited portions, and the flavors were spot-on. The service was attentive, and our server was excellent at making recommendations. I would give them a full score if the dessert portions were slightly larger. But overall, I had an amazing time and would recommend Vatan to anyone craving genuine Indian cuisine!

" If I could rate Vatan higher than 5 stars, I would! The food was nothing short of amazing. The Gujarati thali was flavorful, interesting, and abundant. The presentation was beautiful, and it felt so authentic. I especially appreciated the service; our waiter was knowledgeable and ensured we had an excellent time. The only downside was that it was a bit pricey, but totally worth it for the experience. I’m planning a return trip next month and can’t wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve tried several Indian restaurants, but Vatan is truly something special! The moment you enter, you are welcomed like family. I was overwhelmed by the variety of dishes offered in the unlimited Gujarati thali. Each item tasted authentic and was packed with flavor. The decor made it feel like we were sitting in a charming village in India. I highly recommend trying the khichdi—it was the best I’ve ever had! The service was top-notch; our waiter was incredibly attentive. Definitely will return for another feast! " (*Curated Review*)
