Best Restaurant Dishes Eater NY Editors Ate This Week, June 30, 2025 | Eater NY
"On the Lower East Side, a dahi wali bhindi (okra in a spicy yogurt sauce, $34) offers a Rajasthani-style twist on okra: the okra was left long and the sauce 'was layered with heat.' The reviewer (from New Delhi) explains that yogurt is used to cool and temper intense spice in Rajasthani cooking; here it provides diffusion and creaminess so that despite the chile heat 'the okra’s sweet and green flavors were not lost while scooped in a fold of paratha.' The dish 'packed a punch,' and the reviewer recommends ordering the nimbu pani (lemonade). Dinner ended with a text to their Punjabi mom: "Okra in a sauce, you won’t believe this." —Henna Bakshi, regional editor, South" - Nat Belkov
