"Haderabadi Zaiqa is an Eater Award-winning modest walk-down space in Hell’s Kitchen (there’s a location in Midtown East as well), decorated with a map spotlighting nearly 30 regional biryanis of India. There are plenty of them to choose from, like gongura chicken biryani with the fragrant leaves sourced a type of the namesake plant, and others that show off shrimp, eggs, lamb, paneer, and various vegetables — even a bright orange one that features the Andhran mango pickles called avakaya. Also consider the soups and appetizers, like tomato-pepper shorba, with a thin and strikingly orange broth laced with chiles, or chicken vepudu in a creamy herbal sauce. There are indoor dine-in services. Must-order dish: The bone-in goat dum biryani." - Emma Orlow
