Amin (Fort Greene)

One of the best Indian restaurants in the city. The Tandoori chicken is to DIE for and the Chicken Tikka Masala is simply wonderful. I regularly oder from Amin and have yet to have a dish I haven't loved.

Best Indian restaurant in Fort Greene. If you love spicy food you must try the vindaloo. Excellent food.

Amin has the best Indian food in the area. Portions are well served. Service is pretty quick.

Amin's pre-fixe entree special is hard to beat. The portions are always adequate and the food overall is mostly good. At times, however, the quality can be a bit inconsistent. A few of my favorites are the chicken tikka and daal makhani. The lamb vindaloo is decent, but I've definitely had better in the area. Delivery can sometimes be slow, but if you're not in a rush you should give it a try.

I always ordered from Kinara because the reviews were always better, but after my last order from Kinara left me entirely underwhelmed, I decided to give Amin a shot. I'm glad I did! Almost everything I ordered from Amin beat Kinara hands down. I know Indian food and can say that the samosas and shrimp curry were both top notch - fresh, flavorful, and not too greasy. The only negatives I can think of are that they don't give you any cilantro chutney (the green, spicy one you get at most Indian restaurants), and they are a little stingy with the raita and tamarind chutney they include with your order. The naan bread was pretty average, good and fresh, but nothing out of the ordinary. Give it a try!

Oh goodness, how I love Amin. Their vegetable curry is so full of things, not just overcooked bell peppers like so many other vegetable curries. No, if you're looking for that, look elsewhere. A few chunks of red bell pepper, yes, but also broccoli, cauliflower, celery, peas, on and on--all cooked to tender-but-not-mushy perfection. Medium spiciness is exactly how I like my curry (which is to say, sinuses-nearly-on-fire spicy, so if you're sensitive to that, do be aware). Delivery is SO fast, usually arriving about fifteen minutes before I expect it. HIGHLY recommended.

Have been a big fan over the last few months but quality is dropping off. Most recent order the chicken was undercooked, had a strange texture and smelled quite strange (fishy...I don't like fish.......). I really couldn't eat it. Not the first time the chicken seemed undercooked but it was too much this time. Pity because I love the samosas and everything else seems good.

Prompt service, and hot food. I ordered mild and it came a little too spicy for me to handle but the flavour was very good. It was extremely tasty even tho it wasn't really mild. The banana pakora was decent, tho a little oily. I would order from here again.

Just ok. in a land of culinary delights like Brooklyn, why settle for mediocre food? The vindaloo was pretty good but everything else was...meh...

Ordered the saag paneer and it arrived in under 30 minutes. It was overall good, not out of this world. The portion was easily two meals worth for me.

The food is pretty good here. So far I haven't been disappointed. The delivery is quick and friendly. It would be nice if they included cutlery, but that's not a big deal. The only reason I didn't rate it 5 stars is because I think for the prices the portions should be larger. But all in all I enjoy their dishes.

Ordered the Chana saag lunch special. The dish has great flavor and freshness. But was wondering why no nan or paratha comes with it? The price is no longer so *special* when you add in for the bread.
