While the entire menu at AMMI is a showcase of authentic Indian flavors, a few dishes truly stand out and are consistently praised by customers. The Masala Dosa ($13.00) is a must-try. This crispy crepe, filled with spiced potato masala, is a staple of South Indian cuisine and is highly recommended by those who have tried it. As a review mentions, the food is so good it's "surprisingly food that doesn't taste good when it's left over," a testament to its freshness and flavor.
For a satisfying and comforting meal, the Chicken Biryani ($16.00) is a great choice. This fragrant, spiced rice dish is a popular classic. If you're a fan of Indian street food, the Pani Puri ($10.00) is an excellent option for a quick, flavorful snack. These crispy hollow shells filled with potatoes, chickpeas, and spiced water are a true taste of the streets of India. Another side dish worth considering is the Punjabi Samosa ($8.00), a crispy potato patty that pairs perfectly with any meal.
No visit to AMMI is complete without trying their beverages. The Masala Chai ($4.00) is a standout, praised for its refreshing and spicy flavor profile. The Mango Lassi ($6.00) is a perfect creamy and sweet complement to the savory dishes. For dessert, the Gulab Jamun ($6.00), a soft, sweet dumpling in a rose-scented syrup, is a perfect way to end your meal on a high note. The combination of authentic, high-quality food and a pleasant atmosphere makes AMMI a truly worthwhile stop for anyone craving Indian food in New York.

★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1Had a quick snack break here to get some Masala Chai and Dosa, and food was inline expectations given the place and set-up. Flavorful food and surprisingly food that doesn't taste good when it's left over! Yeps, I wouldn't recommend leaving that dosa behind.The masala chai did hit the spot - extra hot, and low on sugar. Pretty refreshing.
May 07 · Ameya BhakayI had a great Indian masala tea here. A really good one and the view is great while smoking, facing towards the world trade center and little island.
June 08 · Nirav KharasadiyaAMMI NYC is an amazing place to get delicious and sumptuous Indian fare to-go.Located in Pier57 Market this place serves delicious veg and chicken dosas and chicken curry with paratha which are simple yet delectable. The samosas are flavourful and sumptuous. Pav Bhaji is good too and the Gulab Jamun and Mango lassi are some of the best ones you can find in the city. So if you're in for a quick snack or a sit down meal, AMMI NYC will do it all.
July 02 · Ashutosh ChatterjeeAmminyc is the celebration of flavors, from tangy to sweet, spicy to savory.Homestyle Indian food in the heart of NYC from the guys who brought GupShup.Ammi, which means “mother” in Hindi or Urdu. Located at Pier 57 market. Just like mom’s cooking crafted with love❤️🫶🏻Menu here is a brief list of home cooked favorites. Try their chicken or masala dosa, which is made to order and perfectly crispy. The dosas come with two chutneys: one spicy tomato, mint coconut. The dosa is big and filling.It’s served with a bowl of tangy , well balanced spicy sambar, and you should get a mango lassi on the side.We tried 🤤🥤Mango lassi🥠Aloo Samosa🥘🫓Chicken curry with paratha🍗🫔Chicken dosa🍛🍞Pav bhaji🍨Gulab JamunI loved there Crispy Indian Dosa with chicken pan cakes, Fermented rice & lentils batter filled chicken.

Ammi NYC has best dosas that NYC has to offer.🫶🏻🫶🏻
February 14 · Sucheta chatterjeeMy friend and I ordered dosa and two chicken biryani. The dosa had an average taste, but the biryani was disappointing. Instead of biryani, we were served a full plate of rice with chicken curry. The taste wasn't bad, but it would have been better.. the person hadn't informed us that they were out of biryani.
