What people say, in short
Atithi in Williamsburg is repeatedly recommended for vindaloo, with diners praising its flavor while warning that the heat can be difficult to handle. Two accounts place it among the hottest meals those diners have tried. Generous portions receive separate praise, one diner likes the lamb saag, and another recommends the lunch special for value. Spice tolerance is the main caveat, not a guarantee that every order will have the same heat.
