"Grabbing a seat at one of Desi Spice’s gleaming, gold-accented chairs will be far easier than the wrestling match you’ll have over for a parking spot in this Midtown lot. Once inside, you’ll watch delivery drivers float in and out (since most use this Indian restaurant for takeout). But whether you’re dining in or carrying out, you’re here because this place serves some of the most flavorful Indian dishes you’ll find inside the Perimeter. Order the creamy chicken tikka masala or the chana masala with tender chickpeas simmered in a rich, tomato-based gravy customized to your spice preference. And as you tear into your warm naan bread, you'll know your parking lot tussle was worth it. Food Rundown Shrimp Curry Juicy shrimp with their briny sweetness cut through the velvety spices of a golden curry sauce. Chana Masala Tender chickpeas float in a rich tomato gravy. This is a solid, middle-of-the road chana. Order this with medium-to-high heat if you like spice. Chicken Tikka Masala This dish is creamy with tender chicken. It comes with a pinch of sweet, no matter which heat level you choose. Garlic Naan The bread is pillowy yet sturdy enough for scooping." - Jacinta Howard
