"Jackson Heightsmight be the single most diverse neighborhood in NYC, if not the entire country. More than 160 languages are spoken here, and the blocks surrounding the 74 St station have become a destination for greatNepali,Tibetan, andBangladeshi food, among many other cuisines. But one place keeps us coming back, and not just because it’sBYOB: the North Indian restaurant Angel. Consider the divine goat dum biryani—pastry lid revealing a steamy cloud of saffron and spice—mandatory. Angel’s dining room is almost always packed, but we have never been happier to have such little elbow room. (There's also a newer, larger location a block away.)" - Molly Fitzpatrick
