A Taste of Royal India in the Heart of Curry Hill
Chote Nawab, meaning "Little Prince," brings the elegance and culinary traditions of India's royal kitchens to New York City's Curry Hill neighborhood. Inspired by the rich food heritage of Lucknow, a city celebrated for its refined Mughlai cuisine, our restaurant honors time-tested cooking techniques, bold spices, and recipes passed down through generations. From slow-cooked dum biryanis and tender kebabs to deeply flavored regional curries and vibrant Indian street food, every dish reflects the depth and artistry of authentic Indian cuisine. \n\nOur lively dining room pairs these timeless flavors with a modern, energetic setting. Colorful Bollywood-inspired murals, sleek décor, and a welcoming atmosphere capture the spirit of India's culture while creating one of the most exciting Indian dining destinations in Manhattan. At Chote Nawab, we believe great food is meant to be shared—whether you're gathering with friends, discovering Curry Hill's renowned food scene, or enjoying a memorable night out with family. Each meal is a celebration of flavor, tradition, and hospitality that keeps guests returning for some of the best Indian food in NYC.
