"Haandi is a no-frills restaurant in Kips Bay frequented by cab drivers—the stamp of approval you should be looking for at any counter-service South Asian spot. It’s also great value: For $11, you can nab a mixed-meat combination platter with two chicken items like kabab and curry, one vegetable dish, rice, and naan. If they have tandoori chicken that day, get it. It’s not generally included in their combinations, but the bright red, succulent meat is worth a couple extra dollars. Just don’t plan on staying long. This is the sort of place where you eat a quick meal under fluttering fluorescent lights or grab some takeout to eat with your hands in front of the TV. " - neha talreja
