Seriously folks, it doesn’t get much better than this. If you were to just walk by the steps leading down to this sort of decrepit looking deli, you would pay it no mind and keep on walking. There’s no indication of anything special going on inside and it appears the same as one of the [...]

I think that you have to be relatively mature to really enjoy Indian food. One has to get past the negative connotations that accompany the cuisine such as not being able to eat it without having horrible stomach problems, or smelling like curry for a week after eating at an Indian restaurant. While I openly [...]

I haven’t been a fan of Wong’s since they opened up almost ten years ago. Their soup broth has absolutely no flavor and I hate Chinese restaurants that have pictures on the wall (that never wind up looking like what you ordered), make french fries, have ketchup available, uses frozen vegetables etc. Additionally, their credit [...]

I first read about Chola on Midtown Lunch although I’m pretty well acquainted with the mini restaurant row on East 58th street between 2nd and 3rd Avenues. If you read this blog often enough then you know that I am developing a mini chaat fetish and also predict that the popular Indian street snack will [...]

I’ll say it right now, Aamchi Pao makes the best Indian fast food in Manhattan. I know that’s a bold statement and you should know that I’m taking places like the Dosa Cart (which makes the best Indian vegetarian fast food in Manhattan) and of course both Kati Roll Co and the wonderful Biryani Cart [...]

When I tell you that I had been looking for The Dosa Cart near Washington Square Park for a long time, it’s quite an understatement. I’ll estimate that over the past two or three years I must have anxiously walked to the Sullivan street corner that the cart was supposed to be at hungry as [...]

The Bawarchi’s restaurant on East 63rd street changed their name from Baluchi’s (a large NYC based chain of good quality Indian restaurants) about a year or so back. While the name changed and possibly ownership what has remained the same is the food and the wonderful $14.95 “Special Deal” that is only available for takeout or [...]

Okay, the first order of business is for me to explain what a Kati roll is. Kati rolls are a popular street snack in India, especially in Kolkata. In Bombay the most popular street snacks are Frankies which we’ll get into another time. Kati rolls are essentially the equivalent of Indian burritos but instead of [...]

Every time I go to Hampton Chutney Co. I walk out thinking that I probably will never return. It’s not that the food is bad because it’s not, it’s very fresh, most of it is probably pretty healthy and in general it’s actually a cool little spot. But I’ve almost never walked out of the [...]
