The complaints against eating in Midtown are many… but the one thing you can’t complain about is a lack of good Indian food. There are tons of Indian places for every appetite and price range. Expensive sit down restaurants, expensive buffets, cheap buffets, cheap take out, and even an Indian food cart. When you look at the cheap options, it seems as if there is one for every neighborhood. If you work on Park in the 50s, there’s the super cheap Indian food cart on 53rd. If you work on the East side of Midtown in the 40s, there’s Hurry & Tasty Curry. If you work on the west side there’s Minar.
Everyone who reads this blog knows how much I love Kati Roll (the “Indian Burrito” place)… but sometimes you just want the real thing. And when that urge hits, Minar is right next store to feed my Indian food fix. The one thing I’ve realized about these Indian food places is, you get what you pay for. You pay $4 for Indian food out of a cart, it’s going to taste like $4 Indian food (it’s good, but not the best). Minar costs a little more then that, and it’s a little better. Not as good as a nice Indian restaurant where you are going to pay $10+ an entree, but if you are looking for some quick and tasty Indian food for lunch- and you work in this area of Midtown, you can’t do better then Minar.
What I got, pictures of the food, and the +/- after the jump…
