A True New Yorker

Sukus is like an oasis in the middle of noisy over crowded Bars of second avenue. It is a small cozy place where one could relax and enjoy the evening with friends for a reasonable price. It has soothing ambiance that is supplemented by soft background music and a friendly service. The best of all was the authentic Indian cuisine that is not very greasy or spicy. They have some unique items like Flat Nan bread with cheese and tasty toppings, that is defiantly better that any Pizza I have tried. They also serve grilled vegetables and Seafood platter that is unique to Sukus. The Owner personally came as a host and explained the food items to us; he had some very interesting stories about the culinary history of India. Visit to this place is must for all.

• Pros: Inexpensive, Food, Ambiance

A well-kept secret

Ignominiously located on Second Avenue in the 50s, Clay Oven offers some surprisingly good Indian food that is better than most that I've tried in the City. There isn't much on the menu that is unique to Clay Oven, but it all is consistently very good. The breads are particularly good, and the disehs aren't so saturated with ghee that you feel bloated after eating them -- most of the food is deliciously light.
