🌶 Unforgettable Indian Food with Tons of Flavor 🔥

Get ready to embark on a culinary journey that will set your taste buds on fire at Dhamaka Indian Restaurant in NYC! This restaurant is definitely one of the hottest spots that opened, and you can definitely tell why. You'll need reservations to secure a table at this place because it was a full house when I went! Did you guys know this was the very first restaurant I visited when I first landed in NYC? It certainly holds a very special place in my heart. Whether you're a meat lover, a vegetarian, or a vegan, Dhamaka has something to satiate every palate. Their menu is so diverse, offering dishes like tandoori kebabs, aromatic biryanis, creamy curries, and a ton of different vegetarian and vegan options. The staff here is super friendly and will help you choose dishes to share for your table! It can seem intimidating at first, especially if you don't eat Indian food that often like I do. Not only is their food delicious, but their drinks are so nice and refreshing! They do offer cocktails, but I decided to opt for their mango lassi and yuzu tonic, both of which are alcohol-free. Pro tip: the mango lassi is the perfect drink to have on hand when eating super spicy foods because it totally neutralizes and cancels out the spicy sensation in your mouth because it's yogurt-based! Definitely bookmark this spot for your next culinary adventure if you feel like venturing out into a different cuisine you don't normally eat! #nycfoodreview #nycguide #nycfoodguide #indianfood #restaurantsnyc #nycrestaurants #nycfoodie #newyorkfoodie #newyorkcity
