Securing a table at ROOTS & ROUTES: A Delta Air Lines and American Express Dining Series in the East Village isn't just a reservation—it's an achievement. This isn't your run-of-the-mill Indian spot. It's an experience, orchestrated for those who are swift and savvy.
How Reservations Work at ROOTS & ROUTES
Let's cut to the chase. ROOTS & ROUTES operates solely through Resy. Forget OpenTable or making an old-school phone call. If you want in, you need Resy locked and loaded.
Reservation slots drop precisely at midnight, 30 days in advance. This means if you want that Saturday date night slot, you better be online at 11:59 PM the month before, finger poised above the refresh button.
Party Size Matters
If you're flying solo or in a duo, you might have a leg up. Smaller parties can often snag spots more easily than larger groups. If you're flexible about when you dine, consider a 5:30 PM or 9:30 PM slot. Those often linger longer after the initial Resy drop.
The Walk-In Strategy
While ROOTS & ROUTES doesn't officially endorse walk-ins, there's a trick. Head there early, before opening, and see if any last-minute cancellations have opened up. The bar might be your friend here. It's first-come, first-served, and a cocktail while you wait isn’t the worst way to spend your evening.
Pro Tip: Call around 3 PM on weekdays. Staff sometimes know if reservations might open up later in the day.

If you're an Indian cuisine enthusiast or simply curious, this place will reward your patience and effort. And if you need the inside scoop on the hottest dishes once you score that coveted spot, the waitstaff are your best allies.
