"For Indian and Nepalese food in Queens: Maspeth is a neighborhood in Queens rarely mentioned in connection with food, principally because of its isolated location with no subway line. But there are great restaurants there, including Spice Kitchen, which specializes in Indian and Nepalese cuisine. The latter runs to excellent momos and grilled meats served surprisingly with puffed rice, while the former includes tandoori and classic northern Indian curries of meat and vegetables, with a particularly large vegetarian selection. But the dish my friends I and went crazy for was a creamy coconut chicken shot with mustard seeds and curry leaves. All meat halal, and it’s on the same Grand Avenue that starts out in Williamsburg if you want to drive or ride a bike." - Eater Staff
