"Imagine a big bowling alley, but take away the lanes, stupid nicknames on the monitor, and unflattering velcro shoes. And instead of frozen chicken tenders and mozzarella sticks, imagine that this bowling alley serves kashmiri kabab and keema mutter. This is the old-school Americana you’ll find at Jackson Diner, a spot that’s been in Jackson Heights since 1980. The Northern Indian dishes, like tandoori meats and curries, are mostly within the $15-20 range, and each portion is large enough to feed an entire school bus of children." - neha talreja, carina finn koeppicus, bryan kim
