"Forest Hills Indian Cuisine (formally known as Aaheli Indian restaurant) on Yellowstone Blvd in Forest Hills is relatively new and such a wonderful addition to the neighborhood! The food here is always fresh and delicious, offering both North Indian and South Indian cuisine. Everything here is homemade! The menu also includes both vegetarian meat options. This restaurant is such a gem in Forest Hills! They offer free home delivery and open most holidays. The rasam soup is amazing (mildly spicy, in a good way). Victor and the staff are warm and friendly, creating a welcoming neighborhood atmosphere and vibe. They always accommodate my request for a plain yogurt lassi with no sugar and no salt which some other Indian restaurants don't offer as an option. (I wrote this before the pandemic) Both the lunch buffet and dinner are very reasonably priced plus they offer free delivery! I love that they have fresh salad, nan, rice pudding and Indian sauces! (Before the pandemic) The owner would sometimes offer free Tandoori chicken as an extra when dinning during the buffet hours. Although I'm vegetarian, chicken tika masala and lamb are always part of the buffet. My family friends have enjoyed it! Furthermore, street parking is do-able with meters in front on Yellowstone Blvd or you can find free street parking on one of the side streets. It's also walking distance from Queens Blvd and the E/F express trains. I highly recommend Aaheli, without reservation as a wonderful Indian food restaurant right here in Forest Hills."
