The updated Mughlai dishes here still bring plenty of heat to the table! Stockpile napkins and dig in to the tandoori chicken and lamb kebabs. The lunch buffet is also a neighborhood deal at $11.95
Serving up vegan cuisine before juice bars infiltrated the city, this spot will satisfy your carnivorous friends too. Try the rich (cream free!) corn chowder and the ginger vegetable stir-fry.
Avoid the Sunday brunch crowd and come on a weekday to enjoy the fresh, buttery scones, herb omelets and the berry-topped lemon ricotta pancakes. Our stomachs are growling just thinking about it...
Serafina brings an authentic feel to an area dotted with Northern Italian restaurants. Share a margherita pizza, the cream-laden paglia e fieno or any of their other consistently delicious dishes.
This spot gets a lot of recognition on the UES, and for good reason. Their chicken al mattone is so delicious, crispy, and moist it will take the edge off how long it took you to score a reservation.
This spot is always packed, and it's easy to see why. Their staples include mezze plates, donor kebabs, and whole grilled striped bass and are some of the best Turkish offerings in the entire city.
This Czech-influenced gastropub has a tasteful menu of small plates. The fried egg bread, crusty and warm with sliced ham, or the local duck breast flecked with huckleberries are solid choices.
For a special occasion, book the glass-walled table inside of the kitchen, but for every other day, the maple-glazed pork chop and black truffle-coated halibut should keep you almost as happy.
