In NYC, my favorite place to go to is Salaam Bombay Indian Cuisine restaurant located between Reade St. & Duane St. I love Indian vegetarian food, and came across this place once when I was searching for a good restaurant. The first time I went I was alone, so I decided to go for a buffet lunch in order to get a variety meal. The ambiance was pleasing and traditional Indian. The food display made my mouth water. The Paneer makhani was fantastic since the paneer was extremely soft, with a nice flavor. The Palak paneer was awesome too, and the Dal makhani was very richly made and tasted very good. The Dahi-vada was definitely my favorite dish; it was extremely tasty because of its excellent preparation. The Naan was exceptionally soft and was brushed well with butter. Papad and salads were served as starters along with my butter milk appetizer. I tried two kinds of desserts, namely, kheer and mango yoghurt. Both of them were really good. The service is always impeccable and in short, the food is simply incredible and for a lover of Indian cuisine, Salaam Bombay Indian Cuisine is undoubtedly the best choice in NYC. I forgot to mention the best part of this restaurant: it is totally affordable with the meal costing merely $13.99 (plus taxes, but still). It is definitely a bargain in NYC.
