"In Jersey City's India Square I found a halal butcher shop and grocery that sports a kebabery in the front window where brochettes are cooked over flame and in a clay tandoor: Minar Kabab Tikka Corner. The chicken tandoori, consisting of a leg-and-thigh quarter, is probably the best in the city—pieces are often cooked to order and the poultry turns out pink and fragrant; you get two pieces for $5.99, served with salad, onions, spicy green chutney, and a lemon wedge. Lamb kebabs, pomfret fish, quail, and two types of chicken tikka are also available, and there is seating along a counter that provides a view of the kitchen." - Robert Sietsema
