I’ll admit, I was a little skeptical about dining at Junoon after reading some of the negative reviews, but I’m glad we decided to give it a try! We celebrated our anniversary evening here, and it turned out to be a wonderful experience. The food was delicious, and we opted for the four-course meal, with portions that were more than generous. The servers were polite, professional, and attentive, and the ambience was beautiful—making it a perfect setting for a special occasion. One thing worth noting is that Junoon offers a more contemporary, Western-inspired interpretation of Indian cuisine, so don’t come expecting your typical butter chicken or standard Indian takeout experience. The chefs are clearly putting a lot of thought and effort into elevating Indian cuisine while preserving the delicate balance of flavors, spices, and textures that make it so special. I sometimes feel Indian food gets unfairly judged because it’s so widely associated with casual takeout, but Junoon is a great example of how much depth, creativity, and refinement this cuisine has to offer. Overall, we had a fantastic evening, and Junoon made our anniversary feel special. I’d happily recommend it to anyone looking for an elevated Indian dining experience, especially for a date night or special celebration!

Absolutely amazing experience! The food was spectacular, beautifully prepared and full of flavour. The service was equally outstanding and made the entire experience even more special. A special mention to Abu, who managed everything so wonderfully, and Kemi, who took such great care of us and served us with warmth and attention. Thank you for a fantastic experience. Highly recommended!

Fine dining experience with an average/decent serving size; this was more of a checklist item to dine at a Michelin-starred restaurant.

This restaurant was a hidden gem! We just stumbled upon it while adventuring in the city. Not until we walked through the door did we see the multiple Michelin star awards on the wall, and well deserved...The restaurant is beautifully and tastefully decorated. (Pictures do no justice) The workers are all super friendly, welcoming, and willing to help. THE FOOD WAS PHENOMENAL!!! A+++ We had the rib, the duck, and the naan. (small portions but licked both plates clean lol) Will be back again.

While everything was great, their service was by far the most impressive part of our experience today. Will absolutely come back again. Today we were a party of 4, but the can certainly accommodate parties as large as 12

🇮🇳The Galouti Kebab takes us to Uttar Pradesh. One of the stops on our Journey Through India tasting menu, and a dish that shows just how much thought goes into every part of the experience. And the journey doesn’t stop here—we’re always exploring what state to visit next. #JunoonNYC
Chef Akshay brings the Journey Through India to life, one course at a time. 🇮🇳✨ Seven states across India, followed by a final course inspired by New York. Eight courses, each telling a different part of the journey. #JunoonNYC
More than a cocktail—a glass of experience. 🍸✨ Hemant Pathak shares the philosophy behind Junoon’s cocktail program, where Indian teas, spices, herbs, and exotic fruits come together to complement the flavors of our kitchen. Our latest menu, Color Me a Cocktail, explores 10 colors and the emotions, traditions, and celebrations they represent. #JunoonNYC
Behind every great dish is a little collaboration… and a lot of plates. 🍽️ Chef Akshay and Chef Gustavo reflect on years of working side by side, pushing each other creatively, bringing ideas to life, and learning from one another along the way. #JunoonNYC
