257995 Tue Nov 02 16:44:59 -0800 2004 11 21 The Best 0 1365702 I don't pretend to know which Indian cuisine this represents, but these are my two favorite dishes at Indian restaurants and are something of a litmus test for me--any restaurant that does these well does other things well. What is/are the best place(s) for Chicken Tikka Masala and naan? FYI, I like my CTM on the creamy side, like how they do it at Darbar India in Branford, CT, and I like my naan soft, thin, crispy on the outside, buttery, and just out of the oven. mmm... I'm getting hungry. Tue Nov 02 16:44:59 -0800 2004 0 Muppet 1 1365704 There has been much discussion of Angon on the manhattan board, do a search...and you will see that your dish is very much liked there. Wed Nov 03 20:16:41 -0800 2004 1365702 0 Janie 1 1365708 We have had very juicy, delicious chicken tikka at Kalustyan's Cafe. And the naan's not too shabby either. We've had fabulous food at Devi, including superb naan. While we haven't yet sampled the chicken tikka, posts on the Manhattan board from other Hounds who have had it indicate that it is a fine version. Thu Nov 04 11:58:43 -0800 2004 1365702 0 RGR 2 1365710 I second Kalustyan's Cafe, great Chicken Tikka and while you're there try the Veal Vindaloo, oh my god! Don't skip dessert either, all really good & interesting flavor combinations! Thu Nov 04 16:39:40 -0800 2004 1365708 0 Raymond 3 1365711 What are their prices like there? And do they chicken tikka dry or with sauce? Thanks for the info... Thu Nov 04 18:21:57 -0800 2004 1365710 0 Janie 4 1365714 Although there is no sauce with the chicken tikka, it has been marinated in a lemon/rosemary marinade. The great skill of the tandoor master keeps it extremely juicy and flavor-filled. It is served with some tasty harissa, plus a delicious arugula and Asian pear salad. You can see the entire menu and all the prices (lunch and dinner) on Menupages. I've provided the link.

Fri Nov 05 17:39:53 -0800 2004 1365714 0 Janie 1 1365715 I had chicken tikka masala at Brick Lane Curry House on 6th Street last night. It was excellent, and so was the naan. I liked it a lot better than Angon. Fri Nov 05 15:48:35 -0800 2004 1365702 0 valerie 2 1366284 I'll second the vote for Brick Lane. This is exactly the kind of food they do best. Fri Apr 29 12:15:09 -0700 2005 1365715 0 Ron 1 1365728 I the CTM at Haandi its extremely fantastic, on lex bet 27&28? or 26 & 27? I cant remember which. Tue Nov 09 12:44:48 -0800 2004 1365702 0 jason carey 2 1366505 went to haandi about a month ago. the tandoori chicken and vegetable dishes were the best. and significantly good at that. and cheap. the CTM was alright. not bad, but i have had better (i even think baluchi's CTM is better....more flavorful) and the naan wasnt that awesome. forgetting the fact that my stomach exploded after, i would certianly have some haandi again. Wed Jul 27 11:45:48 -0700 2005 1365728 0 dan 1 1366567 Try the Curry Leaf over on 28th (maybe 27th) and lex. REALLY good indian place, good portions, fair prices (11.95 for CTM), and good service! For jerseyites...try one of the 2 Indian Places in Hoboken. Definitely the best around (far better than kinara in edgewater). Wed Aug 10 19:53:17 -0700 2005 1365702 0 Matt
