Glad to try this new Indian restaurant in the heart of downtown Riverdale! Forget the place that was in this location before - it's unrelated. Neem is better-priced and tastier. We went for the lunch specials 12.95 got me a complete chicken tikka masala meal with - samosas, rice, naan, and a nice Indian iced tea! Mind you the 6! included samosas were spicy! The owner or manager came by and gave us a friendly welcome. We saw a lot of take out going on while we were seated and that makes sense. Will definitely return regularly!

It's REALLY DELICIOUS! Craving mouth watering Indian Cuisine that makes your taste buds dance? This is your spot! Not only are their ingredients fresh and authentic but the atmosphere and ambiance is just right for a casual night out to a cozy soiree. If you need more incentive - how about a Happy Hour that extends to 7pm Monday thru Friday. Yes. Yes. And YES!

I had to write this review because I was thoroughly surprised by the tandoori wings in sweet chili sauce. I just wanted a snack for my office and said “why not”. Wow, these wings were tasty, the sauce was excellent, and most importantly tasted fresh. So often I order wings from places and can tell if they’ve been in the fridge/freezer for a while. Not these wings. I’m already a relatively regular Neem customer, but I’m definitely go back soon for the wings...ok and maybe some naan too.

I’ve been to many Indian restaurants across America and this is by far the best Indian food I’ve had. They have great happy hour prices on the weekdays 4-7 which includes drinks, appetizers, and meal specials. The regular menu is great and everything on that has good affordable prices as well. The customer service was superb. Nobody asked me to say anything. I’m just a blown away foodie with a new favorite Indian restaurant. Who knew the best Indian food I’ve had would be right here in the Bronx. It is a Guyanese and Indian fusion restaurant. The Sauces are made from scratch. I met the manager who was there assisting in the restaurant and greeting the customers talking to people about some of the dishes they offer and handmade sauces.

My boyfriend and I visited Neem today for the first time and it was a very friendly Atmosphere. Our food was very good and the bartender was awesome and make a special accommodation for me because I can't drink simple syrup. Everyone was very kind and helpful. I would recommend it to anyone who loves Indian food. Thank you Everyone. :)

I had such a wonderful meal at Neem! The butter chicken was absolutely phenomenal—creamy, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. It’s a must-try if you’re visiting. The employees were also incredibly sweet and made the experience even better with their kindness and hospitality. Great food, lovely atmosphere, and genuinely warm service. I’ll definitely be back soon!
