Best late night food (open 24/7)

I used to live in the east village before I moved to soho and this little hole in the wall is one of the places I keep coming back to! Fast, good food and service, inexpensive. I live for their samosas😄

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Friendly staff, Open all the time

Wonderful

I make an effort to visit whenever I’m in town; one of my old haunts from living in nyc in the 00s. Kind staff who remember you after years! Consistently good food to be eaten at the counter or taken to go.

Fun, cheap

Quick and cheap Indian food. The food was not spicy at all. Was hoping for more kick! 5 of the 7 entrees were vegan. 2 tips: 1) It's cash only. 2) Don't order by saying the name (ex. chickpeas or chana) -- just say the number of the entree. Love that it seems to appeal to locals v. tourists.

Amazing & Cheap

The food here is almost all vegan, it’s not labeled but you can ask if you’d like. It’s all cash! I love it here

Great spot

The staff here is super friendly and happy to tell you what is vegan. The food is tasty and cheap and really hits the spot late at night after hanging out at the music venues/bars in the area. The one downside is that the food is microwaved, but it still always tastes fresh.

i love Punjabi!

I love this place. It's not the best indian food ever but it's pretty damn good for the price and portions are absolutely massive. Plus they're open 24 hours! Over the years they've cut most of the dairy from their 1-7 dishes. If you're not sure about something just ask them for more info and they are more than happy to assist you. Usually I'll get the pick-3 over rice for $7. One time i took it home to weigh it and after taring the togo container it was over 2lbs of food!
I recommend the yellow dal, eggplant & potato, soy balls & potato, any vegetable medley especially with green beans or cauliflower, crumbled tofu with onion and peas or the squash but their saag(a little spicy) and any dal/channa option is always a choice. Lol So essentially everything. Oh and don't forget a $2 samosa and/or ridiculously addictive bread pakora(basically samosa filling between two diagonally cut bread slices and then deep fried).

I enjoy supporting Punjabi so much. It's a really great spot and the staff is awesome so always TIP them!

Pros: ton of vegan options, beyond friendly staff, quick

No Frill Excellence

This place is fantastic. It’s cheap and delicious, if you’re looking for some dank indian food for around $5 look no further. Make a pilgrimage here at some point and come hungry. You will not be disappointed.

Pros: Cheap, Delicious, 24 Hour

Cons: Limited Seating, Cash Only

Cheap and cheerful 24 hour vegan curry

Really fantastic little all veg deli that’s open 24 hours and serves delicious curry with a smile. The perfect spot for when you’re fighting jet lag and want a middle of the night/early morning meal. When we were there, 4 out of the 5 curries were vegan. Friendly service and inexpensive food - we got 2 combo plates with rice and roti for $10. This place is under threat of closure, so definitely support it if you can!

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Inexpensive , 24 hours
