    replying to u/MirthMannor: Curry in a Hurry established the “curry hill” corridor by selling cheap curry to cab drivers. It still does. There is better curry within a block (ex: Anjappar), but that and Lahoro Kabob are dirt cheap.

    replying to u/geneticswag: Haandi looks incredible and is EXACTLY what I'm looking for. You got anything else like it? I came across Que Rico, Flavor House, and Mike's Coffee.

    “But Haandi is better. Try the Haleem and chicken bihari at Haandi or sure.”

    replying to u/Beneficial-Salt-8522: On the cheap and casual end, I’ve been a fan of haandi for close to 25 years. When I first moved to nyc, money was tight so I would spend many of my lunch hours at the all u can eat Buffett. Again, this isn’t pongal but it’s tasty, consistent and affordable

    “My parents and I have been obsessed with their kebabs and goat biriyani for nearly 25 years!”

    replying to u/AvailableFalconn: Haandi if you want really authentic

    “It was authentically mediocre when I had it tbh. Pakistani/Indian food of mid quality. Decent pricing and the actual flavors are there but felt muted.”

    replying to u/Patient_Bad5862: Came here to say this….I have been a regular for 20 plus years and I always leave satisfied. The all u can eat lunch buffet is a nice change of pace so I would check it out in addition to the regular upstairs menu

    “Yeah, it's a great place. Definitely good value.”
