One of 19 locations worldwide, Utsav is a 2-storey restaurant in the heart of Times Square. There is a cozy lounge on the lower level with outdoor seating available in the summer. The upstairs main dining room is beautiful and spacious overlooking an open air plaza through floor-to-ceiling glass windows. The flooring is a warm cherry and the ceiling is adorned with silk drapes giving the restaurant a romantic ambience. The main dining room can accommodate upto 200 guests. There are booths along the windows overlooking 46th and 47th streets.
"Everything was top notch. The service was right on time. The staff was very knowledgeable about the regions where the different foods eminate. And the food was the best Indian food that I have ever tasted."

"We hadn't had Indian food before and were pleasantly surprised and delighted by the food. Our waiter was helpful with suggestions and we were delighted with unusual flavors and spices. A beautiful atmosphere convenient to the tester district."

"I have been to Utsav many times and generally enjoy the food, which can be excellent, nuanced and interesting. Last time it was not. The service is erratic, and this time was downright poor. They are friendly enough but the wait, particularly for drinks can be long. They are probably staffed adequately for weeknights but a larger weekend crowd appears to tax their capacity to deliver. Getting a waiter's attention was like trying to flag a taxicab in the rain. The cocktail list is interesting, but again execution was not upto my expectation last weekend. Maybe their regular bartender was on vacation. I will go back though, and hope to see them perform as they can"

"The last time I visited Utsav, I wasn't as pleased as I was this week. The waiters and bus people were kind, attentive, and eager to please. Both the ambiance and food have certainly improved, and I'm already planning a return visit."

"Recently found this in mid-town and was very happy with it. The food and service was outstanding and the staff was very helpful in selecting dishes. We had 1 mistake in our order and it was promptly and professionally corrected without hesitation. I would definitely eat here again."

"It took 15 minutes to bring the glass of wine ordered when I sat down and a long time again when my dinner partner arrived and ordered a glass of wine.
Service afterward improved somewhat.
The bread was not warm and fresh, as expected, and the food was not extraordinary."

"Looking for a unique dinner spot before the theater? Something special in the theater district with lots of open space, a soothing environment,and of course superb food? This fits the bill! Absolutely loved every bite of this meal on our girls weekend venture! Nobody was disappointed and there was an excellent and affordable wine list which complemented the meal perfectly. Look for it!"

"Based on an Indian friend's recommendation, my family and I ate at Utsav after a Sunday matinee. We loved it. The food was good, served in the right quantity and the service was attentive but not bothersome."

"Ustav a great place to go with a group because there is a lot of space and the wait staff is super attentive, and goesn't get stressed out. You can order a selection of appetizers and breads easily right off the bat, trust the staff, and everyone says, "Oh my god, this is SO good...""

"Food was VERY hot. The staff was very attentive and tried to find a dish that was "Mild", however, it was still too hot for me to eat. My husband, however, enjoyed his meal thoroughly."

"This was our first visit to this restaurant and we found it a delightful dining experience. It was a Sunday brunch buffet so it afforded us the opportunity to sample many new and different foods that we had never tried before. It was a wonderful way to sample what would have been entrees on their regular dinner menu. The food was very well prepared and offered a variety of different tastes and flavors. We would definitely return to this restaurant again. SErvice was excellent and the staff was friendly and helpful."

"Our food was excellently prepared and presented. The service was a bit slow (we had limited time to eat before leaving for a show) but everyone on staff was very gracious and helpful. This was my second time dining at Utsav and I'd definitely like to return."

"Utsav is an office staple for midtown due to their ability to service groups and the speed of eating from their well-balanced buffet. For dinner, the restaurant is far quieter and takes on a different feel. It's not the best Indian the city has to offer, but it's good and it's a perfect option for a quiet meal near Times Square without the crowds."
