"This Northern Indian restaurant opened in 1999, takes up an entire townhouse on East 49th Street, and has likely catered thousands of UN lunches over the years. Their namesake dal bukhara is the best thing here, made with black lentils and cooked so that some bites are chewy and others are smooth and creamy. If you eat meat, try something with lamb." - bryan kim, sonal shah, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore
