"really delicious Indian food in cranberry. I didn't order much today, but everything I had was more than satisfactory. today's order consisted of channa bhatura (chickpea curry with big puffy brot) and kheer. the actual kicherbsenkur was very good. I'm sure the full channa masala meal is also amazing because the soße has for me exactly the right amount of seasoning, which is great because I couldn't find a way to add seasoned online. there were big cockerbsen in the curry and it was not too oily. his toppings were interesting: cilantro and rohe wobbles. not a big fan of tweeting. also the part of the curry is a little small. the Bhatura-Brot, on the other hand, was very big and as the description said it was quite puffy! some parts of broth were on the oily side, others were crispy. I think it was perfect overall close. it is particularly delicious when they warm it up; then the tasteful oil and salt is more obvious what I enjoy. it gets a bit crispy when it warms. I loved the guy. usually my way to Indian dessert gulab jamun. but I have heard that tamarinds gulab jamuns are very small and are not worth the price. the Kheer share was fair for the price (not small, not big) it was super creamy and sweet! I loved the addition of all nuts, such as cashews and rusts as well as some other almost juicy fruits. overall I have tamarind on my cranberry radar. eating is not too expensive and it is high quality. Although I have not tried much, I can still say that it is a solid restaurant that I would recommend."

"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."
