"Came here recently (June) for the first time. I'm not Indian nor Pakistani but am no stranger to this block or Indian food. I worked corporate for many years two blocks away on JFK Blvd and in Manhattan by Lexington and the 30's. I eat Indian often and not just what's popular with the masses of non Indians. However, this time, did order a popular dish Chicken Tikka (not Masala) with cabbage and Onion Naan.The Good: (a) chicken portions were very generous with large chunks of boneless meat, a good lemon wedge (b) this may have been the most tender, most buttery textured chicken I've ever had (c) the onion Naan was steaming hot, flavorful and falling apart with little effort as it should be. This was the best part of my lunch (d) prices were reasonable compared to the many surrounding restaurantsm (e) the counter man and chef who brought me my takeout were both well mannered and wore friendly smiles.The Bad: (a) this place claimed that their air conditioner was broken. It was probably 95 100 degrees inside and the air plenty stale unbearable. Not a single fan in sight for temporary relief. The man behind the counter was drenched in sweat and constantly wiping his head. The tables were empty (at peak lunch hour) save for one couple and their two kids. I can't imagine they were comfortable whilst dining (b) I love curry and I like moderate heat/spice. But this was the most firey dish I've ever eaten. My mouth was in pain from so many scovilles. I could barely finish it and had to sooth my tongue with Naan between every bite of chicken. The green chutney sauce on the side was tasty and had a good thick consistency but also was way too fire (not a good fire) (c) shredded cabbage was also included but barely enough to register as a side. It couldn't even be tasted over the burning hellish fire that was the chicken.Unless they make some improvements, I'd recommend trying one of the many other places next ddor."
