"Seva is one of those places you won’t be able to shut up about until at least two people from your social circle try it for themselves. This Astoria restaurant is great for groups, and we love sitting at an outdoor table when the weather is nice. If you want to keep things affordable, you could go for the prix-fixe sampler, which includes an appetizer, an entree, and dessert of your choosing—but then you'd be missing out on the beautiful thing that happens when intensely flavorful chicken tikka, lamb saag, and aloo gobi join forces on your plate. Make a reservation, bring friends, and see who can best handle their spice when the lamb vindaloo hits the table. " - neha talreja, carina finn koeppicus, bryan kim
