"One look at the stack of packaged food by the entrance and the steady parade of delivery drivers and you'll know that most people use Midtown’s Desi Spice for takeout. But even if your preference is to sit inside the gold-laced dining room, it's worth knowing that Desi has one of the most comprehensive Indian menus inside the Perimeter. Come here for consistent standouts like a hearty lamb saag wala and paneer tikka masala. And most dishes, like the creamy chicken tikka masala, can be customized to your spice preference. Battling it out for a parking spot at this busy Midtown restaurant feels well worth the effort." - juli horsford, jacinta howard, nina reeder
