Best Restaurants for Spicy Food in Morningside Heights

Lagos went above and beyond my expectations. The food was incredible. They weren’t cheap with the liquor in the drinks. The vibe was great and they played the best music. I love the fact that the manager and the waiters always checked on us to make sure that we were good. I would definitely go back again.

I recommend Row House as a must for a great meal, nice ambience and good entertainment especially for Sunday brunch. Service was accommodating and attentive. Our server was pleasant and was working none stop. He seemed to be serving half of the restaurant. We’ll definitely be back!

This was a nice restaurant. Our food was good. We ordered fried dumplings, house special fried rice, general tso chicken, and orange chicken. Both our chickens looked the same so I think they messed up our order and gave us both general tso chicken. Again, it was good but I was disappointed that I did not get to eat orange chicken. I loved their house special fried rice, it was delicious. Everyone was kind and the restaurant was clean.

The food was incredible—bursting with amazing flavors, especially the fried rice and chicken vindaloo. I can’t wait to return and explore more of the menu. Most importantly, the service was outstanding. The staff genuinely cares for their guests, making the experience even more memorable.

The atmosphere, décor, and service were excellent—truly top-notch. However, I found the $60 Restaurant Week dinner menu to be on the lighter side. The staff encouraged us to order additional dishes for sharing, which we didn’t opt for, but unfortunately, we didn’t feel full and ended up getting food elsewhere afterward. For my main course, I chose the beef dish and was surprised to find it was a patty—I wish this had been clearly indicated on the menu. It wasn’t particularly impressive. That said, the cocktail and dessert were the highlights of the meal and truly stood out.
