Marigold, the new Indian restaurant in Eastchester, is more than just a nice change of pace from the usual restaurants in town. It is a masterful, creative, and exciting take on Indian cuisine. Without losing what we love about classic dishes, their Michelin rated chef has taken it to another level. I generally like Indian food but find some places focus more on shocking you with spice than actual flavors. Marigold has perfected spice levels, and their creative, perfectly orchestrated use of flavor. Every different dish tried by my group of eight foodies had us rolling our eyes and commenting âwow, whatâs in this one?â. We started with the Beet Arancini, Eggplant Burrata, Mango Coconut Shrimp, Samosa Trio, and Lotus Shami Kabob. Letâs just say we were all trying to be polite but you can tell everyone was eyeing those last pieces. Then they brought out the Crispy Okra as a complimentary appetizer/side, and well, I always thought I didnât like okra, but Iâm a changed woman. Since we were dining at lunch, some of our group took advantage of the extremely reasonably priced lunch specials (starting at $14) and others ordered from the main entree. The rice was done right (believe me, some places canât even do rice correctly), the naan was light and fluffy, and the raita refreshing. For those that enjoy the heat factor, the Vindaloos were a hit. But for those who like a lot less fire, the Paneer Kundan Kalia, Saag Paneer, Dal, Butter Chicken, and other lunch specials (I canât remember, I was probably enjoying my own too much at this point) were perfection! And then there was dessert. Just when we thought we couldnât eat another bite, we tried some of the Mango Panna Cotta, Coconut Phirni, and I canât remember what it was called, but it was white, light, creamy and made me feel like I was in the Caribbean. Needless to say, I think Iâm in love. I still canât believe that this culinary masterpiece is right here in the suburbs! The prices are fair, the service was excellent, the atmosphere is cozy and chill. They cater to meat eaters, vegetarians, and vegans⊠so many options for whatever your diet. You will not be disappointed. Please try it. If this one doesnât last I will be...
   Read moreIf you are afraid to try Indian FoodâŠThis is where you need to go. My boyfriend and I wanted to try something new last night and boy were we glad that we did because it was an experience. We typically enjoy Michelin star, five star dinners because of the flavor and delicacyâs and I am surprised that Marigold hasnât won more awards.
Our server was attentive, the bar tender made our drink with love and even the bus boys were quick to clean tables and package our food to go. The service and ambience were amazing.
The flavors were out of this world! We had the Mango Coconut Shrimp and the Chicken Tikka app. We were practically licking the bowl clean with the sauce and flavors.
The naan bread was fluffy, the Chicken tikka masala was salivating and the Chicken Tandoori with the mint chutney sauce (not sure what it was) but it was DELICIOUS.
During our dinner I said this place tastes like the spice capital of the world because there were so many yummy flavors I never tasted before but now it will be my constant craving.
This was our first time and will not be our last because everything was perfectâŠ.HIGHLY RECOMMEND because there is something on the menu for everyone.
