"At Lazeez Indian Cuisine, you'll eat candlelit tandoori shrimp and chicken curry on a white tablecloth next to golden Patachitra paintings. And you'll be happy you did—especially when it's Wednesday and the idea of cooking something at home feels out of your depth. We always end our meals here with a subtly sweet badam kheer or the super rich rice pudding with cardamom, almond, and pistachios." - alison kessler, candis mclean
