replying to u/BeaconsAreLit-: Cardamom in Queens! A very under the radar Indian spot that has the usual Indian fare but also Goan food, which is very uncommon. Great food (points for actually making things spicy when you ask for it to be spicy!). Solid prices. Great service. Clean and nicely styled restaurant. Couldn’t ask for more!

replying to u/SadTomorrow869: Cardamom in Sunnyside Queens is fantastic and underrated. The chef is from Goa so they specialize in Goan dishes like Vindaloo and other spicy stuff.

replying to u/ilovehillsidehonda: Cardamom in sunnyside is amazing. Adda and Dhamaka are incredible. Avoid the scene restaurants. The best food in the USA is in NYC. I relocated to Chicago about a year ago and I can tell you that’s true. I travel the country for business and I will always miss NYC the most.
