When you say the words Tribeca and Indian food, Benares isn't the first place that pops into people's minds...but it should be. Though not as glitzy as Tamarind, the other Indian spot on this list, the food is every bit as good. The robust menu is almost overwhelming, and you certainly won't go wrong asking your server or the manager to choose for you. That said, don't skip the butter chicken or the saag paneer, both stand-out options that deserve your attention. The oversized tandoori prawns also don't disappoint, nor does the Atom Bomb, a gluten-free chocolate lava cake topped with rose petal ice cream.

- TriBeCa's Best Restaurants: "The prix fixe lunch or buffet is a good way to fill up for less than $15. The restaurant recently added a weekend brunch with unlimited mimosas and a free round of vodka shooters."
- Best for TriBeCa's Best Restaurants Because: It's a knock-out Indian restaurant that gets overshadowed by others in the neighborhood.
