"A few standout dishes kick things up a notch at Mint Heights, a casual Indian spot with easy weeknight dinner energy and welcoming front windows. Start with an order of crispy okra—it comes in a huge pile and gets a salty, tangy punch from lemon juice and chaat masala. We also love the dahi vada, especially when it’s hot out. Mains here are pretty good across the board, but the one thing you absolutely must get is the crab curry in a velvety coconut-based sauce laced with mustard seeds, red chilies, and curry leaves. They also have a second location in Fort Greene." - willa moore, bryan kim, sonal shah, molly fitzpatrick, carina finn koeppicus, hannah albertine
