Home-style Indian comfort food at a sliver of a spot on Greenwich.

The Scene
Inside its seven-foot-wide confines, sunny, painted-brick walls and wood-and-copper fixtures keep things homey and neat. And while a narrow wood counter and three stools provide desperation seating, most folks choose to take lunch and dinner to go.

The Food
While several of the northern Indian specialties remain on the menu perenially, including the parathas and flavored lassis, most of the main-course dishes change daily. That means you'll have to call ahead or drop by to see if the shahi chicken, dark meat roasted with cilantro and ground nuts, slow-cooked cardamom-laced eggplant, or the tender lamb stew in a heavenly gravy are on the day's chalkboard menu. An order of the goat- or daikon-filled paratha (warm pancake-like flatbreads) and a mango or cardamom lassi (the yogurt-based drink the restaurant is named for) round out a perfectly pleasant, picnic-ready meal.
