Having limited time and energy, my search for vegetarian food in the neighborhood near the airport…read moreled me to this hole in the wall Indian place. The seats were a bit dodgy, but there were other people eating in. They had a wide North Indian menu, but I went straight for the house specials. I asked for their house dal at a high spice level. They expressed some skepticism. The end result made my nose run a little bit, but I doubt it was the spiciest food they could make. It did have a robust herbal flavor and a mouthwatering mix of lentils. My onion and chili naan was fresh and crisp. The chili soy chunk appetizer I ordered ended up being a bit excessive, but I was able to down the leftovers later. A tea that I asked for unsweetened had a strong cardamom note. I wouldn't suggest the average New Yorker that they need to head out here for Indian, but for those near the airport, the food is of enough quality that I wasn't disappointed.

Like many others, we thoroughly enjoyed our first visit years ago, but unfortunately, things have gone dramatically downhill. First, they've replaced the neat rows of seating along both walls with a seemingly random arrangement that makes the restaurant feel crowded and cluttered. Far worse, however, is the abysmal service and decline in food quality. Our waitress clearly knew the people at one table (family, perhaps?) and spent nearly our entire visit standing around chatting with them while neglecting everyone else. We were given a QR code linking to a completely different menu from the one on their website. Already knowing our favorites we ordered the Manchurian Dry and Mushroom Angare. Several dishes we'd looked forward to ordering were missing from the linked PDF, including the Chili Cauliflower. When asked about it, our waitress disappeared into the kitchen and returned five minutes later to say it wasn't available. We settled on the Chili Tofu instead and requested water, having already been seated for 15 minutes without being offered anything to drink. Instead of placing our order or bringing water, our waitress returned to chatting with her friends. After watching her socialize for another five full minutes, my girlfriend politely approached to ask for water when she had a chance. Her irritated response? "I'm the only person working." We've both worked in restaurants and have tremendous compassion for servers who are overwhelmed, but that simply wasn't the situation. Only two other tables were occupied, and the only thing keeping her busy was socializing while ignoring her customers. When the food finally arrived, the mushrooms were cold, the Manchurian Dry was soggy instead of crisp, and the Chili Tofu was dry. To their credit, the dishes were flavorful and well-seasoned, but the preparation and execution were disappointing. It's a real shame. With Royal Tangra Masala and Nanking both closed in New Hyde Park, we've been looking for a new Indo-Chinese restaurant to frequent. We won't ever be returning to this location under its current management, so the search continues.
