A perfect table setting requires pristine linens and polished cutlery, except at off-Broadway restaurants where waiters set every table in postapocalyptic Vienna. Avoid avant-garde eating with today’s Groupon: for $15, you get $30 worth of Indian fare at India Restaurant.
India Restaurant adds spice to ho-hum palates with a bounty of char-grilled entrees, spicy curries, and flavor-soaked gluten-free options. Kitchen staffers skewer swordfish steaks after they've steeped in ginger, lemon juice, and a collection of spices, or sooner if the steaks refuse to laugh at any of the chef's jokes. To prepare for the peppered duck in tamarind curry (up to $16.95), tender bird slips into a sweet-and-spicy cloak bedazzled with figs and hazelnuts. Spice architects can also construct their own curry dishes by first selecting from five curry sauces—including a sweet, sour, and spicy mango sauce and a spinach-based saag sauce—before adding the main ingredient (up to $12.95–$16.95), such as tofu, chicken, or sirloin.
Ornate, traditional Indian designs cover chairs and booths, warmly lit by a collection of candles at the bar and overhead lanterns sheathed in soft, flowing fabric. Sheer textiles delicately drape over windows and add divides to the spacious dining room, and sleek dark woods weave throughout to catch glimpses of large painted portraits of people thinking about their lost pets. Three fireplaces gently warm the interior and reheat leftovers, and in nice weather, a garden courtyard surrounds guests with fresh greenery.
India Restaurant's prices vary throughout the week.
