Chote Nawab is restaurateur Shiva Natarajan’s latest culinary addition to Murray Hill. Chote Nawab quite literally translates to “Little Prince.” The Nawabs of India, mainly in the city of Lucknow, were very much the foodies of their day, known for their elaborate royal kitchens, hospitality and of course their Kababs. Chote Nawab features Kababs from Lucknow and “dum” Biryani from Hyderabad, which is cooked using a sealed pot technique to maximize flavor. The menu also has regional dishes from Kerala and Andhra Pradesh. Chote Nawab combines modern design elements, such as concrete walls, with Indian themed murals to create a contemporary, yet warm ambiance, which is a reflection of its in-house spice blends and authentic culinary style.

Good Indian food but the prices were very expensive. $23 for a main course that didn't even come with white rice which is usually included at most Indian restaurants I've been too. Service was fine.

We went for the lunch special. I had this lamb dish that was so tender and flavorful. You can't go wrong with the garlic naan. Service was attentive. Cute quiet place. Will be back.
