Bawarchi Upper East Side

Great little deli with amazing Indian food! The fried shrimp are a must try, and they often have special Indian dishes in addition to the regular menu. The owner, Aziz uncle, is super friendly and cheerful, which makes the visit even nicer. Not much seating inside, but its perfect for takeout. Highly recommend!

This place is pretty good. It’s a hot buffet at a very reasonable price with a wide selection of Indian foods (butter chicken, beef curry, biryani, etc) + Jamaican jerk chicken and Chinese general Tso chicken. Even with such a wide range of foods, everything was very thoughtfully and tastefully prepared. The owner was quite friendly and sociable too. A great spot for an easy lunch experience or takeout, especially if you’re coming out of the north side of the park. Chai was great too

Bawarchi makes the most delicious kati rolls and dosas in the whole city. Their prices are amazing and Aziz really cares about the quality of his food and provides excellent service. I have been coming here since before the pandemic and it's never fallen short of superb yet. This is one of my most treasured casual spots in the city, and I hope they are around for a long time. If I lived in the upper east side instead of Sunnyside, I would order dinner from here once a week minimum. Ok, enough talk, time to eat this dosa.
