Kaveen's Kitchen (Zhengzong Yindu Cai)
This small, cozy restaurant atop the Old Manhattan Bar serves some of the more reliably authentic North Indian grub in town. The place is wonderfully atmospheric, with Indian furnishings, tapestries hanging on the maroon walls, and lilting background music (crucial for countering the din from below). Owner Vic (who named the restaurant after his son) attends every table to make sure your order is just right. Worth trying are the tandoori chicken, the perfectly balanced mutton curry, and the subtly flavored eggplant with potatoes(aloo bhengan).Wash it all down with some lassis (a yogurt drink), beer, or honest-to-goodnesschaitea. The only gripe is that portions run small.
