The Gully NYC Astoria

Lovely atmosphere! Definitely liked this location. The food was amazing, I never really tried indian food and I can say the food was amazing. From my entree to the dessert everything was great. Only issue was when I was waiting for my friend I was seated at the table with six chairs, the place was pretty empty at the time with two others seated on the other side of restaurant. While waiting the, waitress seats two at the table I am at which is weird because there was just one seat in between and not enough distance for social distancing. The restaurant was not even packed with many other seats all around. We moved once my friend arrived. Other than that, food was awesome.

Seriously this food was trash. Stomach hurt literally right after. Not flavorful at all or spicy (all my spicy folks you will be disappointed with that alone. Drinks were very sweet. Service was slow and bad, girls too forever just to come over to get you started on order. I know people only rave about the mac and cheese but even then have heard mixed reviews which is why I opted to try things that sounded more flavorful. Shrimp and lamb (not cooked well) was disappointing.

All the food my friend and I ordered were really tasty. We loved the vibe of the place and the waitresses were really friendly. Heads up they close from 4pm-5pm to get ready for the dinner patrons. We ordered the fuska, saag paneer, chicken tikka mac and cheese, lemon rice and garlic butter naan. I think my only gripe was that we couldn’t try their masala chai. The waitress told us it was only available after 5pm. I’ll have to go back for dinner then haha! Oh and their lemon rice didn’t taste as lemony and seasoned as I thought it would be? As I compared it to the white rice it kind of tasted about the same. I’ve only tried lemon rice one other time and I remembered it being more seasoned and lemony. But it wasn’t a big deal just want to give a heads up to others who want to order it. Perhaps this is just how the restaurant does it. Other than that everything else was superb. Definitely coming back!!!
