AmateurConcierge: Great fast casual Indian. All the best stuff I had was from the specials list (kale pakora, sweet potato chaat, watermelon masala gin, etc) Lamb samosas were great. Skip the curry chicken.
Russell Hirschorn: The food was very good, stick to the traditionals, tikka masala, malai kofta, rogan josh, yellow daal. Mussels app happened to be excellent
Sarah Aili: Keep it local and head to Barbes. Eclectic and off the cusp live music most every night, readings and film showings. The drinks are classy and the people are real. My favorite is Slavic Soul Party!
