“ Fantastic Indian Food! our appetizer was Paneer Tikka, delicious and the paneer and vegetables grilled perfectly. Main meals were lamb Saag, lamb Gazab ki Boti (which I never had before) and Shrimp Curry. All were fantastic! The lamb saag and the lamb Gaza's ki Boti enhanced each other. Service was exceptional with staff making sure if we needed anything they were right here to assist us. I can't wait to go back! ”
“ The food service and atmosphere are excellent . There are many dietary choices for the vast menu and all the food is cooked fresh and with an amazing array of tastes and sensations! This place was found by accident and it appears I struck gold in the culinary universe ! The menu has a wide variety of soups salads and main dishes in my case I chose the Mulligatawany soup which was amazing and order or Gobi Manchurian with Grilled vegetables, Bombay calamari for the table . The orders of Bombay calamari hit the spot as did fish tikka(Marinated salmon with aromatic spices etc.) Make it a point to experience this place and enjoy! ”
“ New hidden gem on the Newburgh Waterfront! We discovered now The River Grill an Indian Cuisine on at the Waterfront a few weeks ago and have been back every week since. Food and service is excellent, cocktails are fabulous! Highly recommend! Spread the word. More people need to know about this place! ”
“ What a delicious surprise! This restaurant has apparently changed ownership very recently, and is now Indian/Punjabi fine dining, not traditional American/seafood. The waiter mentioned they should have a buffet soon; that would be nice to be able sample a bit of all the dishes they serve. As of this writing the Yelp page has not been updated so this is the correct website: https://www.therivergrillnewburgh.com/aboutus Ambiance: It's attractively furnished with cloth tablecloths and napkins. but still has some of what looks to be decorations from the old owner. The view of the Hudson, Newburg-Boson bridge and small boat port was lovely. The bathroom was clean. Food: The menu is extensive. Three of us ordered the lentil soup, malai kabab, chicken tikka salad, vegetable samosa (2), chicken tikka masala, garlic naan, papadums and the waiter recommended karson ka saag. It was a lot of food and we took some home. The samosa came first and was a desert size plate heaped with a delicious filling of chickpeas, curry onions, peas over two crisp fried samosa shells. The flavor was a wonderful creamy blend of spices and we all devoured it. Highly recommended, however it has cilantro and 2 of our party didn't like cilantro. Several dishes had cilantro, so for people who can't eat it--just request that they withhold it. The lentil soup (Mulligatawny on the menu) was spicy, heavy on cilantro and delicious. Garlic naan was delicious, papadums crisp and flavorful. The chicken tikka salad arrived after several dishes had been served and was a desert plate size of iceberg lettuce, tandoori chicken, onions and some other fresh veggies. It was fresh, but not special. The malai kabab was tandoori chicken served with mint and tamarind sauce and fresh onions, and other veggies. It was ok when warm, but a bit dry after it cooled. It was the least memorable of the dishes. The chicken tikka masala was traditional, spicy, creamy and delicious. The best dish was the vegetarian karson ka saag recommended by our waiter. I looked up the recipe afterwards and it's a blend of 4-5 fresh greens, garam masala, I could taste curry, ginger, garlic, onions and it was the hit of the meal. We ordered another to go and looked up recipes. Yum!!! Service: they weren't busy and service was good, we were not in a hurry and enjoying the view and sitting outside. Overall this was a really pleasant surprise and I would go back often if I lived there. Good luck, new management! ”
“ Delicious, delicious food beautiful views and very nice people. love the pappardalle pasta with lobster fish. ”
“ We decided to take a drive up to Newburgh for lunch with a river view and then a nearby casino visit (Resorts Hudson Valley). We were greeted quickly and brought over some water. We were told when we walked in that they were in some type of ownership transition and they did not have alcohol available at this time, which was fine. It took a while for the waiter to come over and take our order. My husband order some type of turkey sandwich (had avocado and bacon and other yummy things) and I ordered the shrimp tacos , we both order it with a side salad. We started with their white bean and vegetable soup, it was just ok and lacking in beans and veggies, not enough. My husband said his sandwich was delicious , and huge, , he took half home! Although tasty, my tacos were over saturated with what ever the topping was and was very difficult to eat. Literally fell apart in my hands, the taco shredded immediately, less topping next time. We had a nice meal and wish the best of luck in their transition. We would come back. ”
“ Good tasting calamari and the paella.... Cooked and seasoned well!!! I would come back again for this Paella!!!! This was also a favorite spot of my parents. Not typically busy as the others on this Front St strip. ”
“ Great place! Well lit, plenty of space, and good food! Fancy-like off the Newburgh waterfront. Lol Food/Drink: Really well cooked, decent variety on the menu. Great private event brunch and buffet style for wedding showers and funeral hours. Typical sandwich, burger, flatbreads, and salads. Appetizers: fried calamari, artisan pizza, and much more. Bar: Whole Bar! Complimentary bloody Mary's, the girls love em! alcoholic drinks were well mixed and not overpowering. Bar was clean, and well lit. Dinning Area: Average size, open concept. Limited seating!, but beautiful picturesque landscaping and overlooking the marina. Prices: pretty penny but you pay for what you get. Parking: A few mini lots, a large lot at the end. A few street spots on a weekday not too bad, on a weekend almost no parking. Bathrooms: Bathrooms were clean and small in size. Atmosphere: Awesome, quiet, quant, and comfortable. Staff/Attendants: Waitress was Great and highly motivated, very nice, and relatively attentive. Bar tenders were great, he really did it right. Manager was very involved and attentive. Awesome experience! Next time I'm here I know where I'm getting a good meal. I will be back! 10/10 ”
