India Garden

Sure, downtown workers flock here for the much-beloved lunch buffet, featuring standards like palak paneer (Indian cheese floating in creamy, herbed spinach); crispy samosas filled with spiced potatoes and peas; and chicken tikka masala, which might as well have “addictive” added to its description, the richness of its tomato-based sauce offset by basmati rice or the clay oven–baked garlic naan. But dinner allows for a deeper dive into India Garden’s extensive menu of subcontinental favorites: Tangy potato-studded vindaloos with chunks of lamb, lobster, or chicken; fish or shrimp tandoori; and six variations on biryani call to the adventurous diner. Lunch and dinner Mon.–Sat.
