"The booths at City spot Brigadiers hate to see us coming. Mainly because they know we’ll never leave. Dreamt up by somebody who understands the food coma-inducing effects of a hulking achari beef short rib, the cushioned seats are sleek but micro-nap-ready all at the same time. Which makes sense because this Indian restaurant's menu—all sizzling tandoori lamb chops, chilli cheese naans, and rich butter masalas—encourages lingering." - sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
