What people say, in short
Dhaba on Lexington Avenue draws repeated recommendations for North Indian food, takeout and delivery. Diners recall enjoying its lunch buffet, including one favorable weekend account; check the current options before going. Individual diners praise the goat curry, black daal and lamb curry. Heat can be a drawback: one visitor found the phaal very hot but only ordinary in flavor and not enjoyable.
