“ This was more of a 3.5 for me, but I rounded up for the unique factor. My friends brought me here for my birthday dinner. It was a snowy January day, but the restaurant didn't feel like they had the heat on. Anyway, onto the food. We ordered the fried cod app, a few pizzas, and the short rib main. I've never had Indian inspired pizza so it was definitely different! The dough was really fluffy and chewy which I loved, but the flavors were lacking a bit. Idk if everything just needed more seasoning (salt, sugar, something), but all the dishes tasted somewhat bland which is surprising for Indian flavors. All the waiters were very kind and enthusiastic about the menu. All the food was aesthetically pleasing too. ”

“ What a beautifully run establishment! Run do not walk here! Even with a smell from a construction issue to a point we could not dine inside they made an impression. I will be coming back here. - Staff was attentive we were offered a drink on the house. I had aperol on the rocks and it was amazing and refreshing my husband had an IPA beer. We were able to order food on the house due to their construction mishap. This is how you get customers coming back here and make an impression!!! A+++ to the owners you can tell these are people with integrity and passion that care about their business and their customers. My La Mortaza hit the spot delicious it was absolutely amazing whoever thought of the Naan bread pizza is a genius. It tasted like some kind of Naan bread not for sure if it actually was. The chicken tikka pizza smelled to die for and it was sooo spicy and sooo hit the spot good. ”

“ My wife and I went for dinner for the first time with another couple who are local and regulars. The atmosphere is cozy and warm. There is one large TV screen behind the bar. The room is smallish but a large mirror along one wall cleverly gives the feeling of a larger room. The music was mostly 70's classic rock but wasn't loud enough to interfere with conversation. The drink offerings were creative and reasonably priced. While waiting for our table, one of the staff even took our drink order and walked it to the bartender for us. The food was exceptional. I especially enjoyed the Mortaza Napoletana and the Tikka Masala pizza which we shared as appetizers. The Indian offerings were very good as well. Our servers Carmine and Kyle were extremely attentive and explained everything well. We had a great time. Highly recommended ! An aside: Out of curiosity I browsed the one-star ratings by other reviewers and noticed that some of them complained that the Indian food is not "authentic". As this is advertised as a modern take on Indian food, it means the chef takes a traditional dish and updates it according to his/her interpretation. By definition that makes it different from traditional. There's nothing unauthentic about it at all. To give a one-star review based on the food not being "authentic" is illogical to me. Hope this helps ! ”

“ This place is so good! In a span of about 2 weeks, we ate here in person and got take out. While at a friend's house, we wanted to get The Onion Tree delivered, but it wasn't possible so we ended up picking it up. Even picked up, the pizzas were phenomenal. We got pizzas and dosa waffles and my kids really enjoyed the waffles. We went to eat there on a Tuesday, not realizing it was Taco Tuesday. We ordered chips with frijoles and then the same pizzas we had delivered the first time - masala margherita, margherita, eggplant, and saag paneer. All 4 of the pizzas were great, and our families and friends all enjoyed them. In person, our server was great, but also really busy. It seemed like they needed more people and more help on the night we went because it was hard to get our server's attention. Inside, it was also a little dark which made it hard to see things - mostly a problem for my mother. Honestly, we really enjoyed it and the food was super creative and tasted amazing. I see no reason why we wouldn't be back. ”

“ Amazing service, ambiance and food and people. The town it sits on is beyond beautiful and you can have the most magical day in town while coming to this restaurant. ”

“ Other than the usual Punjabi and South Indian restaurants, Long Island lacks unique and creative Indian menus that are typical of NYC restaurants. This is where The Onion Tree comes in as it offers a refreshing taste to LI restaurant goers looking for quality Indian dishes with a twist. They have a special menu highlighting neapolitan style pizzas topped with classic Indian favorites such as Saag Paneer, Masala, and Chicken Tikka Masala. They also serve unique appetizers such as Dosa Waffles, Watermelon Salad, and Gol Gappa. My party tried many of their items including the Saag Paneer, Masala, and Margherita pizzas, Salmon, Lamb, and Chapata Fries. Since I am vegetarian I will not speak on the meat dishes, though my friends said they were both spectacular and "the best they have had so far." The pizzas were all well done and brought out strong flavors of both Indian and Italian cuisine. The saag paneer one was my favorite and the masala one could have been a bit better in my opinion. It lacked a bold taste of authentic masala and the toppings kept falling of the dough. The chapata fries were actually spicy but were seasoned enough to make us keep wanting more. As per the desserts, I will not say anything besides that they are A MUST TRY. The dessert menu is not shown online but trust me, you will be wanting to try every item off their menu in person. Service was spectacular! Our server, Kyle, was attentive and professional. He explained all of the best dishes on the menu and gave us recommendations that were actually good. Kyle was able to maintain a conversation and popped in some jokes here and there. I liked his energy and vibe the entire time. There was a lively ambiance inside and outside. We chose the outdoor seating but I will admit that it was a little crammed and there were bugs that we had to swat away from our food. Next time, I would definitely choose to sit inside. 5/5 Stars! ”

“ Absolutely love The Onion Tree. It was our first time here and right when we walked in, I said to my wife "im going to like it here". The owners definitely put a lot of love and thought with the decoration. It feels as if you're in a town where music is alive, where everyone knows everyone, and the cuisine will be incredible. All this from just sitting down. We came for brunch and I got the Carrot Gazpacho (recommended by our server Carmine) and my taste buds were aroused. Sweet carrot tasting with a hint of coconut milk to balance the mild spicyness. Just wow. My entree was the smoked salmon Benedict. It was good but what made it incredible were the eggs used. The only description that comes to mind that would actually describe the yolk color is "crimson orange Florida sunset". Carmines was extremely friendly and informative with the entire menu and the other offerings on other days and we thank him. Needless to say... We're coming back... Many times ”

“ I traveled all the way from Queens to Seacliff to eat at and try this restaurant. The trip was well worth it. This was probably the best meal I've had in the last two years, and I eat out a lot. The food was not only beautifully plated, but incredibly delicious. each dish was a burst of flavor and spices. They have put their unique spin on Indian food and done it great credit. I was so impressed with each course and found myself thinking about what I would try the next time I had a meal here. Our server was well, knowledged, well spoken and extremely personable. He gave his recommendations without being pushy. The restaurant is the next incarnation of a building that has been mini restaurants in the past. It is a nice space with both a bar and a seating area. It definitely has the Seacliff hippie vibe, music icons on the wall. ”

“ I visited here back in the spring for a celebratory brunch after church and we genuinely had such a blast! We came for brunch and got the $36 2-course option and got the Kerala egg roast, dosa waffle, and egg chaat for mains, with the Bombay gumbo and waffle bites as starters. We enjoyed every bite so much, my only complaint (and this is my own fault) is that we had SO MANY EGGS for brunch lol! But I would definitely come here again for dinner and try some of their non-egg specialties because I can't believe how underrated and undiscovered this gem of a restaurant is!!!! Bonus points for extremely sweet wait staff! ”
