What people say, in short
Angel Indian Restaurant in Jackson Heights is a Punjabi spot that draws strong recommendations, with one commenter calling it the best North Indian food in the city and another naming it for biryani. Several diners praise the house-made paneer, with one saying it is unlike any other they have had. One diner notes it is a bit pricey but that portions justify the price, and the restaurant is popular enough that one commenter says it is tough to get in.
