How Much Is That Sitar Player In The Window ? - Raj Majal 10/6/10 Greenwich Village, New York City

A mainstay of the Strip of Indian Restaurants on Sixth street in Greenwich Village for at least 20 years now the Raj Mahal stands a few steps down under sidewalk level but follow the exotic scents of musk and venture close enough to ask "How Much Is That Sitar Player In The Window" and you have found one of the best spots on the block, Many Restaurants have come and gone in the last two decades but some remain because the returning clientele know quality when they taste it.

Tap Water and Hospitality are complimentary.



The Crunchy Crispy Classic, The Papadum.



A bit on the tomato-ey side for me but All Mulligatawny Soup's are Created Delicious.



It looks just like a Vegetable Samosa but this is a Meat One.



The Ever Popular Tandoori Chicken which in my honest opinion might as well be American Food (It tastes like Roast Chicken Breast, what makes Tandoori Chicken taste Indian ? ,..... NOTHING) but she came with a Vegetable Curry on the side not to mention Basmati Rice and toasty Nan Bread which does make things a tad more eastern.



And of course what would any night out be without dessert.

Brick Lane Curry House 11/8/09 Greenwich Village, New York City

Friends and myself saw a segment on "Man Vs. Food" concerning THE WORLDS HOTTEST CURRY so we had to try it out, I went for the milder Chicken Bhuna Curry but my friend Chris tackled the Phaal Curry which was The HOT Curry in question, he finished it too, I had a wee taste and Boy was It Spicy. Nice atmosphere, good Wait staff but just a little pricy (17 for Curry) considering 2 can eat for 25 bucks on the sixth street Little India strip. Delicious food though it was, For appetizers we had Meat Samosa's and Vegetable Pakora's complimented by Pints of Kingfisher Beer and Mango Lassi's not to mention the Delicious Tap Water.



Always a Favorite, Mulligatawny Soup. I tend to prefer the Tomato based Red Soup but this was Tasty, Warm & Lentilly. Nice Doily Too.





Theres always Room for a Cannoli, these being from the Famous Veniero's Pastry & Bake Shoppe but not tonight, I was stuffed until 4 a.m. at least. OK I had one (half chocolate, half plain)
