Best Family Style Restaurants in Washington Heights

What a great way to end our day in New York! The hostesses were so friendly and accommodating. We found a friend in NY and we asked if we could add them to our reservation and it was no trouble! There must of been a birthday or celebration because a waiter started singing! It was amazing! And the food was so delicious and served fast! Love the family style entrees!! We will definitely be back!!

I had early dinner with my family (cousin and 2 children)as it was their 1st visit at Carmine's. I ordered up a bunch of food and appetizers. They loved everything and I kept reminding them that portions are family sized. They ended up eating too much of the appetizers and 1 was too full for the main courses (LOL) They loved everything including dessert. I was happy and so were they. It was a wonderful experience as waitstaff was excellent, everything was excellent. Will return again.

We went for a family dinner on a Monday night. Everyone was very happy with their seafood choices. The drinks were well done too. The place was fairly empty, so we got the right attention from the staff as well.

What an unforgettable experience! From the delicious food to the amazing atmosphere, everything was on point. And the DJ—absolutely perfect! I’m so glad we decided to go. Thank you, Panda Harlem, for such an incredible time!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Manhattan Valley with a group of friends, and it was a fantastic experience all around! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted warmly by the staff, and the service remained top-notch throughout our meal. We started with the vegetable samosas, and they were absolutely delicious. Crispy on the outside and packed with a flavorful filling, they were perfectly complemented by a variety of chutneys that added an extra layer of depth to each bite. The chutneys ranged from tangy to sweet, and each one paired wonderfully with the samosas. For the main course, we ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala and Shrimp Masala, along with rice and garlic naan. The flavors were bold and fresh, and each dish was made to perfection. The chicken in the tikka masala was tender, and the shrimp in the masala was juicy and succulent, absorbing the rich, aromatic spices. The rice was fluffy, and the garlic naan—soft and warm—was the ideal accompaniment to soak up all the flavorful sauces. The food was so good that the table went quiet for a bit, everyone too absorbed in their meal to speak! But beyond the food, the service was excellent, with attentive staff making sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. Overall, this was a memorable dining experience, and I highly recommend Manhattan Valley for anyone in the area looking for fresh, flavorful Indian cuisine with great service. We’ll definitely be back!
