Come for lunch, where 93% of openings fall, or as four on a weeknight. For a weekend dinner, be on OpenTable at 9:00 AM, 14 days ahead, or watch the week and catch a cancellation. At any moment the room is 33% open for two.
OpenTable. It is not on Resy.
At 9:00 AM, one new date each morning, 14 days ahead.
Tuesday, at 40% of checks for a table for two. Saturday is 1%.
Yes. 43% of dates for four against 33% for two.
No. SnagRes watches the calendar and alerts you by email or text the moment a table appears. You book it yourself, in your own account, at the restaurant's own price. We never hold, resell or charge per reservation.
For dinner on a weekend, yes. For lunch, no, and that split is the whole guide. Across 253,723 availability checks, Musaafer has shown a bookable table for two on 33% of the dates in its window and a table for four on 43%. But 93% of every opening we have recorded fell before 6 PM, across a lunch service that starts at 11:30 AM. The 7:00 to 8:30 PM window accounts for 1%.
Over the whole record, 51% of dates opened at some point, and we have recorded 224 release events, one of the higher counts in Tribeca. The calendar moves; the dinner hour does not.
Open rate, party of two: 33%. Party of four: 43%.
Openings before 6 PM: 93%. In prime time: 1%.
Musaafer books on OpenTable, and a new date appears at 9:00 AM, 14 days ahead. That platform matters: most of the hard Indian rooms in New York, Semma and Dhamaka and Adda among them, live on Resy or SevenRooms, and a person checking those for Musaafer finds nothing. The window rolls forward one day at a time.
Release time: 9:00 AM, one new date each morning, 14 days out.
Lunch, and Tuesday. Recorded openings run from 11:30 AM to 9:45 PM, and 93% of them are before 6 PM; 5% come at 9 PM or later, where the single most frequent slot, 12:15 PM, sits. Tuesday is the easiest night at 40% of checks for a two-top, Saturday the hardest at 1%.
A tasting-style Indian lunch in Tribeca on a Tuesday is one of the easier good tables in the neighbourhood. A Saturday at 7:30 is one of the hardest, and the record says to stop searching for that one.
Before 6 PM: 93%. Prime time: 1%. 9 PM or later: 5%.
Easiest night: Tuesday 40%. Hardest: Saturday 1%.
Come for lunch, or come as four on a weeknight: four-tops show on 43% of dates against 33% for two. For a weekend dinner, be on OpenTable at 9:00 AM two weeks ahead, or watch the week and take the cancellation, which with 224 recorded openings arrives regularly.
Book on OpenTable, not Resy. New dates appear at 9:00 AM, 14 days out.
Come for lunch. 93% of openings are before 6 PM.
Bring four. 43% against 33% for two.
For a weekend dinner, watch the week rather than search it.
No, and that is deliberate. SnagRes watches Musaafer on OpenTable around the clock and tells you the moment a table appears, by email or text. You book it yourself, in your own account, at the restaurant's own price. Nothing is reserved, held or resold on your behalf, which is the line New York's 2024 reservation law draws and the line we stay on the right side of.
Because you cannot say any of the above about a directory. SnagRes tracks 284 restaurants across New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Chicago, with 61,530,416 logged availability checks between the rooms with a full record. Nothing watching tens of thousands of restaurants can tell you that one Tribeca dining room opens 93% of its tables before 6 PM and 1% of its Saturdays, because nothing is watching it closely enough to count.
