Description

This charming Indian restaurant gem, set on a quiet Sunnyside street with its bright orange awning, is a true neighborhood essential. A somewhat cumbersome menu conceals the true talent behind this kitchen, which specializes in clearly defined, utterly delicious curries. The chef hails from Goa so start first with everything listed under the “Indo Portuguese” section. Lamb vindaloo, for instance, is a spicy, almost electric effort; while the Goan fish curry offers a more creamy, soothing bite. Cashew nuts, onions and fenugreek leaves work wonders in the methi curry. Classics like tandoori lamb chops marinated in yogurt and tamarind arrive wonderfully tender and expertly charred. Know that the kitchen takes its time, but the wait is well worth it.
