Great south-Indian vegetarian food. Portions are large. The deluxe dinner sets are a great value. They're also BYOB.
Best traditional Indian fare in E Midtown has $10 lunch specials (entree+naan+dal+rice) & an excellent dine-in buffet ($14 M-Th; $15 Fri-Sun). Reservations needed esp for wkend buffet.
Nothing beats staying in on snowy day & delivery of our faves: Anardana Ckn (Pomegranate Grilled Ckn), Dum Ki Gobhi Aloo (Cauliflower+potato), Palak Paneer (Spinach Paneer), Butter Ckn & Garlic Naan.
Love Bhuttey Ka Kebab, Palak Paneer, Dum Ki Gobhi Aloo, Paneer Lababdar, Subz Panchmael, Daal tadka (lentils), chicken dishes: Tandoori, Makhani & Anardana, Basmati Rice + Garlic & Onion Naan
Yippee! Yippee! Joy! Joy! A 2nd bubble tea shop in UES!! Altho’ the 1st -Jupioca- is closer to me, Vivi has POPCORN CKN - a popular Taiwanese St snack!! Excited to see what else is on their menu! 😋
Jade 60-steakhouse w/ Asian spin-is set to open Xmas vacay & planning to offer wagyu, kobe, roasted duck w/ pancakes made table-side, sushi & sashimi + other dishes w/ ikura, truffle, uni, etc.
Amazing addition to the neighborhood. Great tap list, amazing food (get the cheese/charcuterie platter, pretzel and pickles) and friendly service. Love the shop in front too for delicious things!
1 of my fave Indian lunch buffets-choice of vegetarian or meat-which has pretty much the same veggie options + 1 meat app + 1 meat entrée (no lamb for me)! ;9
MMD was 1 of my top go-to Indian restaurants..but now-sadly-no more! Recently, I’ve noticed food quality & taste have been slipping, a “C” health-rating, pricier menu ≠ smaller (delivery) portions!
Ok spin-off of its E Harlem OG. Except 4 overly-sweet sauce, pizza was ok not great. Rigatoni con La Salsicce tasted ok but sausage nds more frying. Pass on Fried Zucchini&Eggplant + Spinach Ravioli.
Not many decent Korean places on UES..so, this is my go-to delivery. Pricey for a shabby takeout w/ only ok kimbap, mandoo, pajeon, bulgogi & bibimbap. Save w/ the $9.95 M-F Lunch w/ 2 entrees+1 side.
Great froyo on the 7th floor of Bloomingdales. A small size ($4.50 w/o toppings) is good enough for two to share. If you can't decide on a flavor, you can get two in one cup!
The avocado cream sauce goes so well with the fish and rice. They have brown rice, quinoa, and all grains for different diets. I love it!
Bobwhite: slow for now, but the chicken sandwich is completely delicious. $7.95

Pissed @ cashier selling me xtra Habañero salsa for 85¢ (hwy robbery) w/o mention of FREE salsas by mural. No tip 4 her! Shrimp in taco was fresh but not deshelled 100%. Ckn Quesadilla is better deal.
Look 4 FREE salsas @ window by mural instd of paying hwy robbery price of 85¢ for a “special” (Pico de Gallo, Tomatillo or Habanero) salsa
Pissed @ Dorado selling me xtra Habañero salsa for 85¢ (hwy robbery) w/o mention of FREE salsas by mural. Shrimp in taco was fresh but not deshelled 100%. Ckn Quesadilla is better deal.
There is live jazz every Tuesday from 6:30pm-9:30pm! Great ambient music to listen to while enjoying a signature cocktail!
The coffee is solid (Le Columbe) as are the mini cookies (3 for $1.75 - try the chocolate chip) and mini baguette sandwiches.
Best Curry Chicken Salad (on raisin toast) I’ve had in a while..just wish there was more. Not a fan of battered fries but ATC II’s are quite tasty. Ham & Cheese Scone was totally dry & not good.
Altho’ I wasn’t a big fan of the Lapsang Souchong Smoked Chicken Breast in the Mixed Greens Salad (w/ sliced tea-infused eggs, granny smith apples & crispy carrots in ginger soy dressing), M loved it
This place is so underrated and an amazing find. Prosciutto & burrata is great (the photo is a half portion 😍) and every pasta is unbelievable. Amazing use of truffle.
Newly-opened thin-crust Boston pizza chain seats~25 ppl. BEST non-NYC-style 'Za on UES! Make it ur way: healthier, Vegan or GF & in 1/2 or full pies. Super-fast & fresh...more like Cali ‘Za #pizzatime
Pepperoni, Roasted Mushrooms, Pickled Red Onions & Basil on Mozz w/ fresh tomato sauce😋
My new “Selfie” creation: Spicy Sausage, Bacon, Red Onion, Green Pepper, BBQ sauce, tomato sauce + mozz...next up: same except w/ ckn, XTRA BBQ sauce, no Grana Padano & sausage for “CA-style BBQ Ckn”
Decent, tasty & affordable Cuban delivery. $12.50 meal incl 1 main + 3 sides. Opt 4 healthier meal: Baked Ckn w/ salad, Yellow rice & black beans. Green sauce & salad dressing are great w/ ckn.
Whole fish (branzino, Salmon, Dover Sole) & daily HH 3-6:30pm: $1.25 E & W oysters, $8-9 apps, $5 beers, $7-8 wines & cocktails. So-so oyster shucking! Daily ~$24 lunch + $30 dinner 2-course PF deals
Pricier & only ok but there are UberEats / Delivery.com lunch deals that may make it worth it. Best so far are Black Pepper Seitan, Eggplant String Beans in Basil garlic sauce, Pumpkin soup.
Boba tea shop in UES w/ the BEST MUST-TRY Taiwanese (Garlic dark-meat) POPCORN CHICKEN, (summer only) fresh Watermelon “Sugar High” Slushy, Grapefruit or Strawberry @ 30% sweet (w/o caloric boba)!
