When to Book
- Resy slots drop daily: Every morning at 10 AM, Resy releases a fresh batch of tables for Chote Nawab. Be prepared to fight those virtual crowds like it's the Union Square Trader Joe's.
- Plan for a weekday dinner: Weekends are predictably packed. If you can swing a Tuesday night out, you'll have a better shot.
Party Size Matters
- Tables of two: These are the golden tickets. You and your date or bestie stand a much better chance.
- Larger groups: If you're rolling deep, consider booking two smaller tables and charm the host into putting you together.
The Walk-In Strategy
So you missed out on Resy? Don’t sweat it too much.
- Early bird special: Arrive by 5:30 PM. Kips Bay isn’t exactly hopping at this hour, increasing your odds.
- Bar seating: A lifesaver. Chote Nawab's bar is often overlooked. Snag a seat there and enjoy the full experience without the wait.
Pro Tip: Walk-in on a rainy day. Fewer people are willing to trek through Gotham's showers, even for killer curry.
The Cancellation Window
People cancel last minute. And no, this isn't anecdotal optimism.
- Prime cancellation time: Check Resy the night before and the day of. Tables often pop up unexpectedly.
- Be flexible: Can you do late dinners? Try your luck post 8:30 PM.
Is It Worth the Hype?
Yes, and no filler here. Chote Nawab delivers an Indian experience with a modern twist. It's not about elaborate tasting menus, but flavor-packed dishes that don’t leave your wallet gasping for air.
The ambiance is lively, the service is zippy, and the portion sizes are generous. Perfect for a casual night out.
