Flavorful Indian cuisine in New York

A narrowed down assortment of what I feel may be just some of the best NYC places to load up on the authentic flavors of Indian cooking. Easy on the wallet too!

Mumbai Xpress
25605 Hillside Ave
Floral Park, NY 11004
Neighborhood: Bellerose, NY

This place doesn't shy away from trying to recreate Bombay street food and manages to whip up 'almost-alike' versions of the original Franki, Pav bhaji, Spring Rolls and Wada Pav :)

Tandoori Hut
119-04 94th Ave
Richmond Hill, NY 11418

Neighborhood: Richmond Hill, NY
There is nothing even remotely 'mild spicy' about this no-nonsense Punjabi eatery!

Southern Spice
143-06 45th Ave
Flushing, NY 11355
Neighborhood: Flushing, NY
For the lovers of fish curries and tangy tamarind/tomato based rasams from the South Indian states.

Sagar Sweet Restaurant
16825A Hillside Ave
Jamaica, NY 11432
Neighborhood: Jamaica, NY
Head to this Bengali cuisine house if your taste buds are craving an ultimate chicken biryani and kebabs

Ganesha Temple Canteen
45-57 Bowne St
Flushing, NY 11355
Neighborhoods: Flushing, Murray Hill

The food is a delight to a fan of the coconutty, rice-based, vegetarian South-Indian cuisine. The seating is public high school cafeteria like and the prices are extremely affordable.

Thakali Kitchen

74-14 37th Ave
Jackson Heights, NY 11372
Neighborhood: Jackson Heights, NY
For the delicate but delectable flavors of Himalayan/Nepalese momos, aloo chilly and pork thukpa. Don't forget to sip on some salty butter tea!

Enjoy the flavor eruption :)
