Punjabi Restaurant

The best food place in New York

by roon

....as long as your okay with veg food, and are not looking for a sit down. It's called Punjabi Deli, and it's just that. No-nonsense Indian soul food, good and cheap. I recommend getting Chana (chickpeas) with Samosa but it's all wonderful. The people who work there are great too. Another plus is: open 24 hours.

!$2!

• Pros: Homemade, Convenient, Spicy
• Cons: No seating

Late night curries and low-priced lunch

Punjabi has been one of my favorite Indian holes-in-the-wall for some right now. Don't bother with Pak Punjab or some of the other Houston street hindi-spoons. This is the real deal. $3 gets you a bowl of rice topped with one of 5 (or so) tasty, homemade vegetarian dishes. Add another buck and get a plate with bread and lettuce. Always packed with local cab drivers and in-the-know Villagers, this place is an affordable gem not to be overlook at 2 am or 12 pm. As one of my close Indian friends says: "Mmm...just like home!"

• Pros: tasty, cheap, late-night
