Where to Take Your Desi Match on a First Date in New York

Found someone interesting on Shadi.com? Time to plan that magical first meeting. Whether you’re the chai-sipping, flower-admiring type or a Bollywood buff, New York has plenty of places to spark a little romance — desi style.

  • Dhaba NYC (Lexington Ave) – Bright, bold, and buzzing with energy — just like a good Punjabi wedding. Enjoy classic North Indian dishes in a setting that feels festive but not too formal.
  • Chaiwali (Harlem) – A charming, artsy spot built around India’s favorite drink. If you want your first date to feel cozy and a little offbeat, this is your place.
  • Bryant Park Picnic – Grab samosas from Curry in a Hurry and find a shady spot in the park. It’s relaxed, affordable, and perfect for people who like to talk (and snack).
  • Brooklyn Botanic Garden – Take a walk among cherry blossoms or sit by the lily pond. Great for a romantic stroll, especially if you both swipe right on nature.
  • Bollywood at the IFC Center – Catch a Hindi film screening and relive your childhood movie memories - just don't cry during the emotional scenes (or do, we won’t judge).

Whether you’re meeting for chai, biryani, or a walk through tulips, New York has no shortage of ways to make your first date feel like a scene from a desi rom-com. Just remember - smiles, sincerity, and maybe a little bit of spice go a long way.
