This cozy Indian gem in Harlem serves up perfectly spiced classics like tandoori and a must-try duck dish, complete with a charming patio for al fresco dining.
"Thanks to their tandoori platters that sizzle loud enough to hear through walls, Indian Summer has been Harlem’s go-to Indian spot for a while now. All of their tender tandoori options arrive with a perfect char, and you’ll find some seafood selections that aren’t always on standard Indian menus. But the dish you shouldn’t leave without trying is the battakh khumb wala, a duck breast with super crispy skin sitting in a spicy, creamy almond-saffron sauce. When the weather permits, you can sit at a cute cafe table in the enclave a couple steps below street level." - neha talreja, hannah albertine, bryan kim, willa moore, sonal shah
"Thanks to their perfectly-charred tandoori platters that sizzle loud enough to hear through walls, Indian Summer has been Harlem’s go-to Indian spot for a while now. The space has red walls, hardwood floors, and a good amount of seating at black wooden tables. The one dish you shouldn’t leave without trying is the battakh khumb wala, a duck breast in a spicy almond-saffron sauce. When you’re done eating, you can walk to the theater in less than 10 minutes." - sonal shah, kenny yang, willa moore
