Veeray da Dhaba

Indian restaurant · East Village

"Channeling a roadside snack shack in Punjab, Veeray da Dhaba is the brainchild of Indian fine-dining veterans, Sonny Solomon, Hemant Mathur, and Binder Saini. The restaurant offers what is usually displayed on steam tables at Indian buffets, only hiked up a few notches. Goat biryani is one highlight, and so is the saag paneer with cheese made in-house, a fish fry from Amritsar, and an exquisite tandoori chicken." - Robert Sietsema
