Break away from ordinary dinner fare at this well-received restaurant, which tantalizes taste buds with fragrant, earthy spices and terrific, charcoal-broiled dishes. Start with bolanee kadu (a fried pumpkin turnover) before digging into classics like tandoori chicken or chicken korma. Shrimp, lamb, cod, and beef kebabs also get a spicy rubdown before they're broiled to juicy perfection. Vegetarians have much to applaud as well, thanks to zesty dishes of eggplant, okra, spinach, and zucchini. Affordable prices. TRAIN: 6 to 77th St
