The Cotillion

The food was just alright– nothing spectacular. I had to remind the staff the dishes were dirty a couple of times. Not a fan of dirty dishes!

My favorite Indian place on LI. The restaurant is right next to the catering hall and you get to see all the beautiful saris and enjoy the fun music. It’s very clean, nice décor and servers were super nice. We starts out with paneer pakora and cashed nut roll. They were delicious, not dried out like some places, and large portioned! I had chicken tikka masala and my husband the curry. Again, really well seasoned and well portioned. Most Indian places are too afraid to season their food, but here it’s well done. The garlic naan is also a must. we never have enough left over Indian to take home, but we do here. We couldn’t help it, we ordered kulfi and it too was sooo good (not too sweet like other places). Also, the best mango lassi I’ve ever had.

If you like it spicy, go mild unless you have a numb tounge.

Review is just for food as we ordered in. food is horrible. if you’ve eaten Indian Chinese before then you would know that you can make better than this for sure. The schezwan hakka noodles equals to Maggi noodles + ketchup. The schezwan fried rice = rice + veggies + ketchup. Food is super deep fried even where it doesnt need to. Really disappointed ordering from here, never again.

Went here for a Pakistani wedding banquet. There are several party rooms. We sat in the upstairs room, on the right side. The Indian food was very good. The mango lassi was delicious.
The bridal suite is downstairs, right next to the stairs. It could do with a bit of updating. It’s L shaped and narrow.
The bathroom could also do with a bit of updating as it looked very old.
There were wedding crashers who very very rude and just walked in and took selfies right near the dance floor, and with the DJ. Management should really help discourage these people.

Chili Chicken Dry is my fav. Very friendly family style place. Extensive menu. Still exploring new dishes.

If you are looking for Indian/​international food catering for your wedding/​reception, look no further than the Cotillion. The food is fantastic, and the service is excellent. We had a great tasting experience a few months before the event, and were impressed with both the presentation and the taste of the dishes. Cotillion provides not just Indian food, but also make delicious Italian and Asian cuisines. On the day of the event, no one went hungry and everyone raved about how good the food was. I would definitely be hiring them again for future events!

This is a small restaurant inside the catering hall. A hidden gem. Now I don’t have to go to Hicksville for authentic Indian food. Very good, Had the Lamb Saag and my partner had the Aloo Gobi. We also had Naan and Paneer Paratha. Loved it all. Lamb Saag had just the right kick to it. Will definitely be back

The food is really good and I will sure come back if I am in the area. We take advantage of the $ 15 for $ 30 coupon. Great deal!

A wonderful place for Indian food, tried Indo-​Chinese and aloo paranthas, everything was great, the quality, service, taste, quantity and the ambiance, would definitely visit here again. I must say far better than many Indian restaurants we have tried on Long Island.

Was our first visit to this Hakka Indian Chinese fusion restaurant. The staff was very friendly and welcoming and the food was excellent. They brought out a free Indian crisp with two dips. We started with the lollipop chicken and then had coriander garlic chicken and chilli chicken. All were delicious and measure up to the other Chinese Indian fusion restaurant we’ve tried.

A lot of vegetarian options; had the bhindi masala, was very good, good amount of food, got to take home half as leftovers, great chandelier, server was very friendly

Have been here several times for various functions, including a small wedding and several birthday parties. The place seems to have been here for quite some time as the exterior and interior look pretty dated and worn. The place can definitely stand some sprucing up but I suspect the owners aren’t too keen on that idea. I don’t think it had been remodeled or freshened up since I first dined here a decade ago.
The food is okay but I won’t rave about it. Last Saturday’s meal was probably the one I most enjoyed our of all my experiences here. At least the hosts paid for a good selection of food so there was a lot to try.
I’ve only been here for buffets so can’t comment on table service. There was adequate coverage at the buffet stations and the bus boys did a decent job.
There are far superior Indian restaurants on the Island (and Queens) but this place is convenient and apparently reasonably priced. Large parking lot is a plus… if not absolutely necessary given the restaurant’s location. I wouldn’t go out of my way to come here for a meal but wouldn’t run if someone invited me to come here for another function/​gathering.

I had the paneer masala for $ 11 and it was super delicious. Basically it’s masala tomato butter sauce withchunks of paneer cheese. Great vegetarian option, even if you’re not vegetarian! My friends got two different types of biryani. It was pretty expensive biryani for $ 17 but the portion was GINORMOUS like a mountain of rice which they said was tasty as well.
I have to take a star off for the fact their service is slower than waiting for paint on a wall to dry. .kidding, but it really felt like that since it took definitely over 40 minutes to get our food out… and there were NO OTHER CUSTOMERS EXCEPT ANOTHER TABLE OF TWO. Oh my gosh I was dying but luckily their food was good or else it would have been a terrible experience. .
Overall food is a little pricy but at least it’s good. They also serve hakka Chinese and southeast Asian cuisines but being that in already Chinese, I come to a predominantly Indian to eat Indian food.

We stopped by for lunch time while going to LIU campus. It’s a OK place nothing interesting but the hall for parties looks nice for small functions.

This review is for the Indian restaurant attached to the catering hall.
This has been a staple spot for all of our family gatherings with uncles aunts and cousins. Their servers are all very nice and the food it so yummy.
All you need is the eggplant masala (spicy) as the starter and chicken tikka masala with onion and garlic naan and rice.
Mmm this food is like drugs, once you start you can’t stop until all that creamy sauce has been swooped up by the naan and rice.
Not sure if it’s bc they know our family well or if it’s BYOB for everyone but it wouldn’t hurt to ask.
Enjoy. And you are also sure to see a real Indian party going on next door.

Went there for the first time last week. My Boyfriend forced me to stop, or else would have emptied their Kitchen. Oh my god the Butter Chicken (My Boyfriend had ordered) was the best «THE BEST». The food was so savory. I just could not stop.
Cotillion was nothing like the any other Indian restaurant I had been to. The entrance is just beautiful! The lobby was tastefully done. Nothing like red, or orange or yellow drapes falling out of wall or fake plants hanging, picture of God and goddess or tacky lighting sticking out. This place is different. The ambiance matched the food they serve. As soon as we were seated our server bought us long beautiful spice plate and Papadam, We kicked off our meal journey with an appetizer and while I was ordering dinner I realized that this place was no Joke, and they don’t like to mess around with the food. I was very tempted by the Chicken Vindaloo, looking at my blonde hair my server asked me if I was good with spices and I am NOT, so she kindly suggested that it might not be a perfect choice for me, and she refused to make it mild, as she told it would not be Vindaloo if I take away a spices from it.(Loved her answer). Instead she suggested Chicken Tikka Masala which I always eat but it was the best I ever had. The quality of food is invincible. The food is freaking amazing and everything on the menu sounds so delicious. It makes you want to come back over and over and over to try all the dishes. Then after you’re done trying all the dishes, you’ll come back over and over for your favorite dishes. My mouth waters as I write about it. Definitely somewhere I would reconmend.

This review is for the Indian.chinese.thai restaurant in Cotillion.
This is by far the best indian restaurant out there in long island. It is better in all aspects than the chilli and curry restaurant which has high rating here.
Ambiance:
4 starts — cozy little place with candle on each table. Small bar area on side.
Food:
6 stars out of 5 — Yummy indian; indo-​chinese. No complaints.
Price:
5 stars — very affortable large portions.
Service:
5 stars — friendly and polite.
Cons: There is a party hall adjacent to the restaurant which gets noisy when there is a party :(

I am a regular at this place to pick up lunch or dinner, because it is so close from my work.
Out of the many dishes I have tried, I can never get enough of their chicken biryani! Good portion size, spicy and just good! They have recently started lunch buffet too, which has variety of good dishes and decently priced as well!

This place is weird. I grew up 3 minutes away and hadn’t even thought about stopping in until this week. Is it a catering hall? Wtf is indo-​chinese? Is it a hotel bar? I needed answers. Brought the rents here for dinner… Mistake.
As a catering hall, this place looks cool. The restaurant is a small offshoot to the left of the main room. Inside the décor is fine. No complaints. Our waiter came by and that’s when things got weird. This dude knew maybe 3 words of english. I’m all for new blood and I get you have to train new staff, but this was just awkward. Pointing at the menu and then having him read the menu sucks. The whole meal was a service fail: the app came out with the entrée, no one asked about spice levels and my mom couldn’t eat her food (amateur move mama!), wine refill instead of a water refill… Awkward all around.
The best part? The food! My chicken curry was solid. Tender chicken and good spice level. My fam’s chicken w/​broccoli and pad thai were tasty as well. The only fail was the vegetable manchurian dumplings, which came out like fried veggie meatballs. Normally, I would come back here and give it another shot, but considering the great options in the area, I think I’ll pass.
