Peacock Indian Restaurant

This place is such a gem! I’ve had takeout from here once before and it was great. Today, my mom wanted to take a small tour of India for our birthday lunch, so we chose Peacock. We were greeted with warm smiles and seated right away. Madhu gave us expert guidance on the menu’s coconut-free options (due to an allergy), as well as spice levels and flavor profiles. She was so sweet and patient! She even gave us complimentary birthday desserts. The food was awesome! After trying so many dishes, I can confidently venture out past simple butter chicken lol (which is awesome here as well). We’ll definitely be back!

Not so long ago I tried Chicken Biriyani for the first time. Since, I’ve been craving it. I came across to this spot that I literally drive by all the time. It’s truly a hidden gem. I ordered to-go. Service right off the bat was great, no complaints there. As I pulled up and walked into the establishment, very clean and small. I love to see a clean place! I checked out and couldn’t wait to try the food. I opened up everything and smelled amazing!! The Naan was fresh and warm. Mango Lassi super creamy and cold. Not overly sweet too. Now let’s get to the best part. The flavors in the Chicken Biryani were there. It was a medium spice level for me. Not overwhelming. The chicken was falling off the bone, I topped it off with a white sauce that I was given. Some sort of yogurt that was diluted, if I’m not mistaken. When I tell you that you definitely get for what you paid for. The amount of food was incredible for the price. Without a doubt the best I’ve had yet.

We went to Peacock (on Eldridge), for lunch today and we were delighted with the taste of the food. For trying something new, I ordered Chettinaad (Veggie option). Didn't know what to expect, just asked them to make it as mild as possible 😀. And the taste was GREAT!! Glad I ordered that. Other food were great too, the place was very clean and the service was good. Highly recommend to try that out.
