Erik Finsrud: Pricey but worth it. Sample platter is tasty, nachos come with tons of fresh guac.

Indian Restaurant · East Village · 79 tips and reviews
Noah Weiss: From the owners of Dhaba (best indian in NYC), this is the best restaurant on Curry row. Lots of coastal curries you won't normally find. The more spicy and coconut-y, the better.
The Wall Street Journal: Break out of the chicken tikka masala rut with the coondapur kori, a flavorful, deep-orange coconut chicken curry from the coastal city of Mangalore. Read more.
Serious Eats: Not your average Curry Row restaurant. The huge menu has dishes from all over India, and most of them succeed.
