In Short – This Indian bistro is stylish and vibrant, with orange-and-red walls and exotic aromas wafting from the kitchen. Sit next to NYU and New School professors and students dining on food adapted from Goa, Punjab and southern India, including Goan fish curry and Galina Xacutti--chicken and potato simmered in a puree of coconut and spices. Desserts include a sweet masala chai and keer, and cardamom- and saffron-flavored rice pudding.

Good Food

by JessicaDee at Citysearch

I would definitely eat here again. Food was fresh, tasty, no complaints. It is a bit pricey but not as pricey as some other places I can think of where the food is not as good.

  • Pros: Decor, Service, Food
  • Cons: A bit pricey for Indian but this is nyc
