Popped in her Saturday for dinner after a matinee in Manhattan…read more I started with the Chicken Manchow Soup. Hot and spicy with a fair amount of chicken. It cleared my sinuses. For the mains, my better half had the Lamb Curry and I had the Chicken Tikka Masala. We both asked for the medium spice level. With the mains we ordered two garlic naans. I found my Chicken Tikka Masala, along with the garlic naan, delicious. The other half thought the Lamb Curry was too spicy (I had the leftovers at home the next day. It wasn't as hot as she said. I thought it was fine). Both mains had a good amount of meat for the price. They gave us a complimentary dessert of Rasmali, because they were disappointed my other half found the Lamb Curry too spicy for her taste. Very tasty. My only quibble is that they charge $9.99 for an 11-ounce bottle of Taj Mahal beer. We will most definitely return.

Please note - this restaurant is dedicated to the Sri Chinmoy organization. I am not part of the…read moreorganization nor am I endorsing it. This review is ONLY about the food and my experience eating here. I stumbled across this spot and stopped in because I was curious about the food since it was vegeterian and I was on a no-meat cleanse. It's a bit inconspicuous so you may not even realize it's a restaurant from the outside. That being said, it seems to be a very popular vegetarian spot in the area and has a good variety of vegetarian Indian dishes as well as Western vegetarian dishes. The spot is midsized, with a good amount of seating. The staff were very friendly and helpful with questions about the dishes. I ordered a few items - vegetables pakora, bhajia, and the Annam Brahma dinner. I also tried their chai. Overall, the food wasn't too bad and was a good portion for the price. I loved the chai and also ordered a mango lassi, which was also very tasty. The pakora and bhajia were delicious and paired well with the sauce. The Annam Brahma dinner was filling although I wish it has a bit more seasoning. Overall, this is a good spot for vegetarian food if you're in the neighborhood and looking for a good vegetarian spot.

To start off we got the Aloo Gobi Samosa which was good. As for the main dish I got the Chicken Saag Tikka which was very good but had very little chicken inside of it which was really disappointing. It seems like I was just eating a dish filled with sauce and few pieces of chicken inside it. We got one order of garlic and rosemary naan which was already cut up in quarter pieces. The naan came in very useful especially with all that extra sauce I had left from my chicken saag tikka dish. To finish off the night I got the Malai Kulfi ice cream for desert which was super frozen took some struggle to break off the pieces without making a mess. Overall this place is a nice quiet spot for dinner not to mention the TV above the door had plenty of Indian music videos on the whole time we were there. Also the service was good no complaints here.

Started with the meat samosa. This is probably 1/3 of the size featured on the Doordash picture. While it's cheap, it wasn't worth. Two mains: chicken keema and curry beef. The former was a dish I hadn't had before and was pretty spicy in a way I wasn't expecting. This hit the mark. The latter, the curry beef, I got because it's apparently very recommended. Super dry and not terribly flavorful. I ordered Pulao rice but they were out so it was downgraded to white rice, which is fine. What is not fine is that it seems unconscionable for a restaurant of this cuisine to require you to order rice as a side dish. Neither of these dishes should be eaten without rice and to have to pay extra for it ($4 for the Pulao?!) is a disservice to the cuisine. We also grabbed some naan, which was the the most white bread version of naan I've ever had. Fluffy and light but entirely flavorless. The menu is strangely limited and there's truly no reason for me to explore anything else on it given this experience.

The worst was the drink. I paid EXTRA for strawberry lemonade. Not only was there no strawberry, it wasn't even lemonade. It dusty colored cold water that tasted like someone added a teaspoon of lemon concentrate. No sweetness, barely any flavor at all. Just a weak hint of fake lemon. Definitely no strawberries. The food itself was not great. Just meh. The lamb vindaloo was the only thing with any character. I think there were 4 small cubes of lamb and 3 small potato cubes. I know it's a lunch portion, but dang. They didn't skimp on the sauce though. Everything was drowning in sauce. I've never had thin tomato soup before, but the flavor was OK. I might try those ingredients myself at home with some Campbell's - and a heavier hand. At least it was piping hot. The one thing I really liked was the naan! It was soft and warm and tasted like it had just been made. This was a $20 order, I expected a lot better. I didn't think the bread would be the star of this show.

Nanking - A Perfect Spot for Layovers (or Locals)!…read more When my in-laws had a long layover at JFK, we decided to meet them for dinner, and Nanking turned out to be a fantastic choice. As a Brooklyn local, I hadn't explored many restaurants near JFK, and found slim pickings for Chinese or Thai food by the airport. First off, the ambiance is good--booth seating along the walls and a welcoming, authentic vibe. I was a bit skeptical at first about the large menu (Indian, Thai, and Chinese?!) because that's often a red flag. But, spoiler alert: Nanking proved me wrong! What we ordered: * Navaratan Korma: Super fresh veggies, rich and flavorful. As someone who makes this at home, I was impressed! * Lamb Korma: Delicious, tender, and full of depth. * Naan: A little thinner than usual but still tasty, especially paired with the curries. * Hot and Sour Soup: the in-laws finished their bowl. * Fish Curry: when my FIL ordered this we had a mini-panic that it wouldn't be fresh given the large menu and not apparent seafood focus -- bad fish ahead of a international flight seems worth avoiding at all costs -- but our server was quick and confident with her assertion the fish was fresh and I stood corrected! FIL reported back that it was flavorful, fresh and not overly creamy. * Butter Chicken: A weekly favorite of a diner sitting near us who gave it high praise, and the MIL reported she was right. (Her tip: Pair it with garlic naan--A+ advice!) The drink deals were great, and the prices overall were super reasonable. The only downside was the timing--our food took about 30 minutes, and the drinks were slow too. But with a party of 20 arriving at the same time as us, it's understandable. (And kudos to the menu for being upfront: "Let us know if you're in a hurry.") In short, Nanking is a gem for anyone looking for authentic flavors near JFK. My in-laws left happy, and if the situation presents itself again well definitely be back.

Nanking had the audacity to inquire why I want to cancel my second separate delivery order. It was created in error! Grubhub automatically include: tax, tip, delivery fee, and service fee.

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.
