"Founded in 1975, this spot was one of the first Indian businesses in what’s now called Curry Hill and still lays claim to being its anchor; the unforgettable bright-blue two-story façade opens to a steam table and a tandoori oven right inside the front door, with a stairway up to an expansive second-floor dining room that looks north and east across the neighborhood. I go for one of the specials — a favorite ($16) that features a quarter tandoori chicken, a vegetable curry, a mountain of white rice, and flatbread pulled straight from the vertical clay oven the moment you order it — and afterward I stroll the neighborhood to admire the sari shops and groceries." - Eater Staff
