Jackson Heights Indian Restaurant Jackson Diner Is Still Innovative in Queens - Eater NY
"Jackson Diner, located at 37-03 74th St. in Jackson Heights, opened in 1980 and evolved from a diner-style menu to primarily Indian cuisine by 1983. Known for its curries, tandoori roasts, and snacks, it became a main destination in the 90s. The restaurant expanded its menu over the years, adding unique offerings like hummus, garlic naan, crispy okra, and various Indo-Chinese dishes. The tandoori section and northern regional dishes have also grown. While the buffet offers a wide range of dishes, it can be inconsistent. The evening a la carte menu is recommended for northern Indian fare and Indo-Chinese dishes." - Robert Sietsema
