Murray Hill (aka 'Curry Hill') has no shortage of subcontinental bites, but funky Dhaba packs one serious flavor punch. Mouthwatering standouts include the crunchy, tangy lasoni gobi (fried cauliflower with tomato and spices) and the insanely flavorful murgh bharta (minced chicken cooked with smoked eggplant).

Concessions to the mostly Punjabi menu include a string of British curry-house classics. There’s also a good-value lunch buffet to boot ($13).
