The blocks between 26th and 28th streets on Lexington Avenue, also known as Curry Hill, have become world renowned for their authentic, affordable Indian fare. Many oldies, but goodies, are still around, like Pongal, Swagath and Chinese Mirch. But if you take a stroll down Lexington Ave, you will find a few new faces trying to make their mark. CitySaheli scouted out these new spots, and here’s what we found.
Bhatti Indian Grill
100 Lexington Avenue
New York, NY 10010
This authentic North Indian restaurant has already become a popular go-to for those who love home-style Punjabi food. The restaurant’s open fire grill is used to cook fabulous kebabs and its clay oven for the naans and rotis. Vegetarians, don’t fret, the Bhutte Ke Kebab is delicious and meat free. Also, the Tandoori Chat is unique (pineapples included) and worth a taste. Among the kebabs, CitySaheli favorite picks are Murgh Malai Kebab, Gilauti Kebab, and the Methi Macchi Tikka.
Tamba
103 Lexington Avenue
New York, NY 10010
Although this very new spot is still ironing out a few wrinkles, its food is set to go. It’s a great spot for diners looking for variety in their Indian cuisine, as this restaurant offers dishes from all the regions in India. Its dosas are very good, and bhatura and chole – even better! Its speciality is North Indian food and CitySaheli definitely loved the cocktails at this cozy location.
Bhojan
102 Lexington Avenue
New York, NY 10010
The owner of Dhaba has opened this pure vegetarian restaurant just a couple of doors down. Bhojan offers vegetarian thalis and classic chats. This restaurant just opened and offers a variety of complete vegetarian food.
