If you are looking for authentic Indian food, you are at the wrong place. It was funny to watch the waiter, who doesn't seem to know what a paratha is, trying to explain what a paratha is to a South Indian guy and then bring out a North Indian style chapathi saying it's paratha. Kerala chicken curry was 3 pieces of baked chicken breast with some seasoning in it, and the curry/gravy part was the two small amounts of dipping sauce that came with it. Dosa waffle is two small pieces of waffle made with dosa batter that should have been thrown out, too sour. All in all, it is not worth the money, and portions are snack sized. Not a restaurant that I would return to. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Food: 1 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 1
Very impressed! Delicious food. We ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala Pizza which was delicious but pretty spicy. The Amritsari battered fish was delicious. The pani puri is amazing.

Amazing food, staff is professional and friendly. Chef is very humble as well. We ordered Kerala chicken fry, the voodoo chicken wings with tamarind n ginger sauce, bombay gumbo, and the masala margarita pizza. Everything was delicious and fresh, especially the gumbo and wings, finger licking good!! Thank you Chef Jay and team, we will be back for more!!

Service was fine and lovely atmosphere! Waiter suggested 2 personal size pizzas, 2 appetizers. 2 entrees . We said we’d wait for entrees, sounded like too much food to me. The PIZZAS were fantastic!!!! The appetizers were absolutely too hot! We were full after the pizzas and should have stopped there. Go just for the pizza!!! We did have a bottle of wine that brought up the price . The price was not a problem. The waiter should not have pushed all that food either.

Nestled in a cozy atmosphere, The Onion Tree offers a unique twist on traditional Indian cuisine, including standout dishes like chicken tikka masala pizza. While many rave about the fresh, flavorful offerings and exceptional service—especially from attentive staff like Carmine—others express disappointment with wait times and order mishaps. Guests appreciate the vibrant decor and friendly owners, Jay and Raquel, yet some note a lack of vegetarian options and inconsistency in service quality. Overall, The Onion Tree is celebrated for its creativity and delicious food, making it a dining destination worth exploring despite some operational hiccups.

This is a fantastic restaurant with delicious food and a cozy atmosphere. The staff is extremely friendly, adding to the welcoming vibe. There's a charming outdoor area as well. Just a heads up: the pizza oven is small, so if you're ordering multiple pizzas, it might take a little longer. The pizzas are personal-sized. Overall, a great dining experience!
This one-of-a-kind fusion restaurant combines Indian cuisine with pizza, boasting decor that showcases murals of Hendrix and Santana, along with notable Native American figures. I found the chicken tikka pizza and halibut wrapped in banana leaf to be exceptionally tasty, although I felt the daal was a bit too sweet for my liking. The overall atmosphere blends South Indian spices with an Italian flair, as seen in dishes like chai-flavored panna cotta. Meals come with rice and roti.
The ambiance is warm and welcoming, exuding a delightful local charm, complete with murals of Hendrix and Jerry. The craft cocktails are stunning, and the bartenders are very approachable. The food is exceptional, particularly the tikka masala pizza and the palak paneer. Whether you're a fan of Indian cuisine, curious about it, or have never tasted it before, this restaurant is a must-visit.
The food was fantastic, and the service was outstanding. The staff went out of their way to make my elderly mother feel truly special on her birthday, particularly Chloe, the hostess, who went the extra mile to accommodate our last-minute reservation. Each dish we ordered was absolutely delicious, highlighting some of the finest cuisine I've encountered in the area. I genuinely hope they stick around for a long time… 11/10!!!
The restaurant is overflowing with creativity. Every dish I tried was more delicious than the previous one, featuring flavors that are truly extraordinary. The presentations are both stunning and original. The drinks are skillfully prepared, and the desserts are outstanding. I’m already looking forward to returning for dinner and experiencing their special pop-up events. Hats off to the incredibly talented and innovative chef!

Excellent food and outstanding service! I've visited twice, and both times, Carmine was our waiter, and he is absolutely fantastic. The pizza and tacos are exceptional—I just need to return on a day other than Tuesday to sample the rest of the menu.
This is not just the best Neapolitan pizza on Long Island; the owners are also extremely welcoming! Jay and Raquel make their guests feel like family. We even had them cater a party at our home, and every guest praised the food, including those who had previously claimed not to like Indian cuisine! You will truly enjoy every aspect of your dining experience here.
The restaurant has a very cozy atmosphere, but I found the menu to be lacking in vegetarian options. It offers a sort of Indian cuisine, and they do serve a vegetarian pizza that sounded appealing—though I’m not a pizza lover myself. The dishes were quite interesting, but everything was pre-seasoned, which meant there were no options available that were mild or only slightly spicy. Our group of six had mixed reviews overall. The service was acceptable, and I enjoyed the Caesar salad, while the string beans were nicely charred. As the only vegetarian/pescatarian in the group, I was disappointed to find that the fish dishes were priced over $40, which felt excessive for a neighborhood restaurant I was unfamiliar with. After dinner, I voiced my concerns to the owner, but she didn’t seem to take them seriously and suggested I could have ordered the pizza instead. I left feeling very disappointed and won’t be returning.
I decided to try this restaurant by ordering three dishes through DoorDash, even though my wife was a bit skeptical. Unfortunately, when the food finally arrived an hour later, only two of the dishes were included. I tried calling the restaurant and had to deal with an automated system. After leaving three messages without any reply, I finally got through to a real person on my fourth call. However, they put me on hold, and another staff member picked up to repeat the process. I was told that I could come to the restaurant to pick up my missing item, but they wouldn’t deliver it. It’s a shame because the two items I did receive were really quite good. However, the overall service experience was disappointing, and I won’t be ordering from The Onion Tree again. Good service is a vital part of dining, and it’s clear that this restaurant is falling short in that area.
