"A meal at this Indian-Nepali restaurant can happen in one of two ways. For a super casual experience, sit on the first floor of a bright room on 74th Street, next to a buffet line of pakoras, simmering goat, and chana masala. Down a flight of stairs, however, there’s a full bar, purple nightclub lighting, and a TV blaring music videos. The extensive menu in both dining areas is the same, though. Most of it features Northern Indian staples, like a clove-heavy chicken curry and palak paneer. But don’t leave without trying food from the Indo-Chinese, Nepali, and Tibetan sections—in the form of tangy cauliflower manchurian or the beef and chive momos." - bryan kim, neha talreja, hannah albertine, carlo mantuano
