| “This is our favorite Indian takeout in the neighborhood; it’s both affordable and dependable, and everything except the poofy poori bread travels well. We recommend curries and tandoors, which not only taste fresh and succulent but actually seem to improve with age after a couple of days in the refrigerator."
"Indian Tandoor Oven. The red and green tapestried walls and gold plates at each setting are so eye-catching that its almost overkill when the crab Rangoon arrives with its dramatic side of airy puffed poori. You can’t go wrong with any of the dishes: the problem is finding an extra notch in your belt once you’ve made your way through the superb vegetable korma, the fluffy, garlicky naan and the rice that’s fragrant enough to warrant eating on its own. The place looks tiny, but a second room tucked around the corner is just as colorful and fussy."
