The Best Indian Restaurants In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"This tiny, tightly packed Indian spot on 37th Ave. is the toughest restaurant in Jackson Heights, and worth every bit of the effort. They do a range of dishes well, whether that’s housemade paneer, yeasty bhaturas, or Indo-Chinese appetizers. The pièce de résistance though is the goat dum biryani. Order it, and your server will cut open the bread balloon on top, revealing layers of onions, herbs, rice, and goat under plumes of smoke. We like to come with a group and you should too. Just be prepared to wait 30-60 minutes during peak lunch or dinner hours. (They do take limited reservations online.)" - molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim, neha talreja, carina finn koeppicus, sonal shah
