sean roberts: Great creamy tomato soup and salmon. Very cool atmosphere.
Ben Kay: A gem to visit. So firstly yes it's a cosy affair. Tables super close together (let's call it intimate). Staff equally intimate in a laid back, cooking for friends style. Incredible burger. Best ever?
Mark Heyert: Excellent tater tots, crab cakes, beet salad, and the bartenders are sweet and funny.
2. Tamarind TriBeCa

99 Hudson St (at Franklin St), New York, NY
Indian Restaurant · Tribeca · 157 tips and reviews
Travel + Leisure: An outpost of a Flatiron district restaurant by the same name. Try the chicken tikka masala: tandoori chicken tikka in a creamy tomato and fenugreek sauce.
Eater: Sample dishes from all across India, in a comfortable, and ever-so-slightly elegant setting. Tamarind Tribeca is a smart choice for a business lunch downtown, and it's also a fine pick for date night. Read more.
The Wall Street Journal: Plush banquettes and sizable booths make this Indian restaurant ideal for private business meetings. But after a three-course lunch, you may be more in the mood for a nap. Read more.
Tara Polen: This deli may not look like much from the outside, but they seem to pride themselves on their selection. You'll find every brand/flavor of nutrition bar, imported chocolate bars, and fresh gelato!
Nicky K.: Surprisingly hard to find a decent egg sandwich in the area. This place has the best one!
Erik: Always has good hot lunch/dinner selections, and, more importantly, beer and blow-pops

Dina Rughani: Coconut chicken curry. Ask for them to make it spicy. Great lunch special deal!
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.

Nancy Andrews: Omg this food is so good! Curry chicken and spinach with cheese!!! Don't forget the nan!
Kai Technolust: Really good vindaloo, excellent service! Our water glasses never went below 1/4 full and we were meeting a friend from Ohio so even after we paid we stayed to talk & they brought water.
MN R: Great service! Very nice and friendly staff. And the food was delicious. Garlic naan was my favorite. But tikka masala was great too. The rice pudding was a nice way to top it off.
