"I love the creamier-than-creamy texture and seasonal Indian ingredients here, where Pooja Bavishi pulls from childhood-kitchen memories to create bold flavors like guava and chili, rose and cardamom, and roti and ghee; standout orders include Rose with cinnamon roasted almonds and sweet corn saffron, and the shop also makes sorbets, nut brittles, ice cream cakes (don’t sleep on the gulab jamun cake). Since launching in 2015 with a Cobble Hill outlet, the brand has expanded (this summer adding a West Village pop-up) and now has stores beyond NYC as well." - Charlie Hobbs
