Has anybody tried Shaheen's for Pakistani in Jackson Heights? I know their sweets are really good. Any other recommendations that are better than Shaheen's? I just don't want any buffets. I'm looking for two different types of foods: 1) Pakistani/Indian curries, biryani, etc. 2) South Indian dosas, chaats, snacks, etc. Would appreciate any recommendations. Cheers, gtrekker2003 Sun Aug 20 15:06:14 -0700 2006 17394 gtrekker2003 1 1821024 the only place I've really liked in Jackson Heights is Dosa Diner: best quality, decent atmosphere and inexpensive.

Thanks, gtrekker2003 Sun Aug 20 21:15:51 -0700 2006 1820599 17394 gtrekker2003 2 1821200 south indian including all kinds of dosas. they have biryani too.

Sun Aug 27 09:59:02 -0700 2006 1820599 20765 designerboy01 1 1836390 I've had decent chats at Dimple and Rajbhog. Both places also offer a vegetarian lunch with lentils and curries. Maharaja Sweets & Snacks also offers chat, but I've only tried their excellent sweets. All 3 restaurants are within sighting distance of the intersection of 37th Ave and 73rd St. I agree with the Dosa Diner recommendation. Pretty good dosas, uttaphams and idlis. While the JH buffet scene is pretty dismal, a recent Time Out NY article recommends Dehli Palace's lunch buffet, which offers 14 "fresh" South Indian dishes...perhaps it's halfway decent? http://www.timeoutny.com/newyork/Details.do?page=1&xyurl=xyl://TONYWebArticles1/568/features/74th_and_broadway_jackson_heights_queens.xml Hasn't Shaheen's been replaced with Roti Boti?

A sprinkly of raw red onions and fresh cilantro is a nice touch. Mon Aug 28 21:10:28 -0700 2006 1836390 17002 kimcheater 1 2016191 chilli chicken allll the way!
