Banana Leaf, New York

When you first get to this place, you can't help but notice the decor is a little strange and 95% of the people eating there are indian. The waiters and staff, all indian and probably the family that owns the place. So, if you are looking for a place to have a Martini with your upper-class friends, you are far too deep into 'Curry Hill' for that, but if you are looking for real indian food, you've arrived at the place. Try the papadom (complimentary), get an indian beer and try the Chicken Maknhi, or if you prefer one of the delicious paneer dishes... if you like indian food, you'll keep coming back!
