That is unfortunately what they do best, and it does not seem to even be what they fancy themselves specializing in, just an add-on to stay afloat in Jackson Heights.

The Iselin Nanking has a terrific chaat station that is well worth the slightly higher price.

The chicken corn soup was decent, but the chili chicken had no heat, and the sauce was brown water that had no flavor other than grease. My SIL had the curry chicken and she said it was pretty bad. Nan is no King. My SIL and I went there last week and both though the food was medicore at best.

The Nanking Restaurant Group does not list any outlet in Manhattan. And as an observation, the Jackson Heights restaurant is the only one that list Mughli food on the menus posted to the Web.
