"This hole in the wall is all about textures and layers. As an aficionado of all South Asian food, this is a Manhattan gem. The price is reasonable. Don't ask the proprietor what is best, it is all excellent. Give him direction about what you wish to eat: veggie, lamb, seafood or chicken; and then spice. He will help you. His level four spice is not too strong, it enhances the flavor: you will feel the layers of spice on your tongue.We found this in a search for halal food and we were not disappointed.Vegetarian options: We noticed clear vegetarian options. The table next to us was equally pleased with their veggie meal.Dietary restrictions: We were looking for halal and found it."
