Delicious Indian food! Great service and cocktails. Went here for a quick dinner with my husband. We have heard good things from friends but for some reason we had never tried this place. Glad we did. Amina our server was so friendly and nice. She also made us our drinks which were delicious! We ordered three entrees: butter chicken, shrimp curry and lamb biryani. All three were great. We will definitely be back!

Great authentic food, for a wonderful price. Also Our server Amina was awesome and gave us awesome Bangladeshi options.

The food here is really good. Definitely give it a try, it's worth it. The butter chicken roll and fries are delicious.

Stopped here last week for Cocktails and Apps, and we had a good time. The decor and atmosphere was so cute and pretty, with a Desi touch to everything. Service was good, and the Staff were friendly and helpful. While the Cocktails and Mocktails tasted really good, but the Fish Appetizers was a little overcooked. I feel the Curries and Breads would have been better but we didn't order anything since we had other plans for Dinner.

Super tasty Indian food. We got the Samosas appetizer, Butter Paneer, and Garlic Paratha (with extra garlic). I really liked having horseradish sauce to go with the samosas. The spices in the paneer were numerous and a flavorful blend. My only complaint is that the paneer was crumbled too finely. I prefer to have identifiable chunks of paneer. Highly recommend. Also a great, classic ice cream place, Eddie's, just down the street.

I have had Paratha Wala bookmarked on Yelp for yearssss! I was in the neighborhood for a Paint n Sip Event, and finally made it here! It did not disappoint! We arrived at 4pm on a Sunday, and there were no other customers there. This worked out great for us, since we had everyone's undivided attention. After our painting class, we arrived STARVING and ready to Eat!! Four of us shared the below dishes: - Complimentary Chips: I'm not sure what kind of chips these were but we devoured them! - Golgappa (aka Fuchka) $9.95/6 pcs: Any time I see Fuchka on the menu, I always order them. This is my favorite Bangladesh Street Food, and if you've never had them before, you must try them. (**Don't know what Fuchka is? Read my footnote below). I could have eaten the whole order by myself! Hahaha Not Joking!! - Amritsari Fish Appetizer $12.95: these are homemade fish fritters, served with a mint ranch sauce. The spiced fish fritters were fantastic but I didn't care for the sauce; instead, I added their spicy sauce (ask them for some if you don't have any at the table). This spicy sauce made the fish fritters 10 times better! - Lamb Kadai (served w.bowl of Basmati Rice) $22.95: slow cooked lamb with fresh onions and bell peppers. The sauce in this dish was fantastic; however the lamb wasn't as tender as it should be. Had they cooked the lamb a little longer, this would have been 10/10. - Goat Curry (served w.bowl of Basmati Rice) $24.95: Bone-in goat curry with Indian herbs & spices. This dish was phenomenal! So much flavor; nice and tender meat. This dish was the winner of our meal. Get this! - Railway Chicken Curry (served w.bowl of Basmati Rice) $17.95: Classic Indian Bone-in chicken curry with cherry tomatoes. This curry sauce was delicious! The chicken was good; albeit a tad bit dry since it was all white meat, but good nonetheless. - Garlic Paratha ($6.95): We usually order Naan but since Paratha is in the restaurant name, we figured we'd try their Garlic Paratha. The Paratha was very good but we would have preferred a bolder garlic flavor. You can never have too much garlic! :D "*Footnote: For those who don't know, Fuchka are small hollow round spherical semolina shells, chipped open on top, and filled with savory potato and chickpeas, and other spices. They are served with a chili garlic sauce and a tamarind sauce on the side. When you're ready to consume these shells, add the two sauces, and immediately pop the whole shell in your mouth. (If you wait too long, the sauces will make them soggy). There will be an explosion of flavors unlike anything you've ever had. Love these!! There are so many different varieties of Fuchka; however, Paratha Wala only serves one kind. On a side note, TONG has a street cart in Jackson Heights which offers a wide variety of these Fuchka snack foods. Go with a friend so you can try a variety of Fuchka! Great service and hospitality! This restaurant was on the smaller side but it was decorated nicely, and was very clean. Free street parking available on the side streets; Metered parking available on Metropolitan Ave. Although parking can be extremely challenging in this neighborhood, on the Sunday afternoon, this was not a problem at all. So glad I finally got to try Paratha Wala! The food was delicious; along with great service. Recommended, and I look forward to a return visit!

Superb host and wonderful hospitality. Food was delicious. Super tasty, fresh & came out in a prompt manner. Love the interior & decor was lovely, funky & cool. I guess with inflation the prices seem a bit on the high side but it's definitely worth it. I would recommend coming during the week probably midday it's quieter and you get more personal attention. Thanks Yvette for a lovely, delicious lunch and taking care of me. I'll definitely be back and recommended to my friends.

I always have a solid time at Paratha Wala, it's nice to have a desi spot near home with a more modern feel. Service is consistently timely and smooth. My usual picks - Samosa Chaat and Masala Fries - always hit the spot. Butter Chicken isn't mind blowing but still tasty. It comes with basmati rice but I like to get it with naan. Tried my friend's lamb, but the flavor wasn't my jam. I usually like mango lassi more but at this spot I like the piña colada better, I recommend trying theirs. For your first time there, stick to the classics for a good meal. I'll be going back to try some of the other things on the menu. The desi decor, Bollywood mural, and accents deserve some appreciation, I love them!

Love the ambiance. There's chalk art on the walls, plus other decor. There is a free multi game arcade, a foosball table, & a carrooka table. The staff was super friendly & helpful. The Ginger Mint / Rose Basil Lemonade was SOOOOO good & the Lamb bowl was DEE-LISH. Prices are decent. I definitely would come back here. Two thumbs up!

Pit stop on our way out of the airport. Such a cute 'gram worthy spot and a variety of offerings. We tried aloo tikka chaat, loaded fries, roti, coconut shrimp curry, butter chicken curry, butter chicken paratha roll, and salmon bowls. Enjoyed the food and had leftovers of the bowls and wrap to take home. Even my parents were impressed. The service was wonderful, as they were fairly busy on a Fri night they didn't hesitate to put us in their private room in the back. This was great as there was an arcade game there that my kid took full advantage while we waited for our food came out. We also had the lychee lemonade which was really nice as well, not super sweet and blended well. Too stuffed for dessert. Definitely pricey w all the items and drinks ordered but we felt that the cost was justified. Would def recommend for a nice Indian food fix esp if you're traveling near the JFK airport!
