We have been regulars at Graffiti for a year now. The place is so charming that one simply can't get enough of it. It’s an ideal setting for a happy family dinner. The kids just love the informal atmosphere. The food served is balanced and the portions are just the right size. I also really loved the way the staff always made sure that they explained the significance of each component in our dishes while serving. It’s no wonder that whenever Chef Mehta cooks on The Next Iron Chef his dishes have 2 components which balance each other. His food is all about harmony. The flavors are so well balanced. But nothing beats the tasty Graffiti burgers which are marinated like kebabs! My husband ranks it as the best in the city.

i lived across from graffiti for a year and could NOT get enough. the service: never experienced such a personalized dining experience the food: so unique, so tasty, and mouthwatering. different size plates serve any appetite the price: honestly, getting mango paneer at 7 bucks is the REAL DEAL! i just wish it was a bigger place! might not be great for kids, and since its small, you can be seated with other people at a table, so might not be the best business dinner. BUT i adore Graffiti and want the restaurant and the people who work there to live in my house!

I've been here several times, and every time I leave I can't wait to go back. I love that the menu is designed for sharing, so you can have a little bit of everything. The flavors are amazing and very refreshing. The staff remembers me every time I go, and they are so enthusiastic about their food. Every dish comes with a little bit of information on the food. When you go, be sure to walk through the kitchen to the bathroom, and you'll be even more impressed at how they produce such exquisit dishes with so little space.

First timer with this type of cuisine. Ambient, cozy atmosphere. Owner/server incredibly attentive and uber-excited about everything he served me and my date. His enthusiasm was contagious. The food was delicious. Definitely going back.

I love this place- I've been with girlfriends, with my husband, and with my parents, and somehow its been great with all three crowds. The chef has figured out how to entertain with food, explanations of the food, delicious (and really nicely priced!) wine, and gorgeous, but not overbearing, hospitality. The scallops with pickled ginger are to die for, and the pork dumplings were amazing!

This is a small East Village spot. The decor is inviting, small, but this is the East Village. The staff greeted us warmly. We waited a little bit for a table, but it was worth the wait. Cool ethnic music plays and is not overbearing so you can still have a conversation. The dishes were inventive and elegantly presented. Everything we had was very tasty. Love those pot-stickers. Oh the wine, nice organics, nice variety, $25 a bottle!!! Did I mention $25 a bottle, who can beat that, they were good tasting wines as well. The five of us had a bunch of appetizers and a few bottles of wine and we didn't have to rob a bank to pay the tab. We weren't rushed, nor did they make us feel like they wanted us out even though there were people waiting for tables. Very nicely done.
