Street is the most recent beneficiary with the recent opening of Taste of India,
which recently moved into the Knickerbocker Place. The menu is extensive, featuring
cuisine from both the north and south of India with 27 vegetarian entrees.The
tandoori chicken, however, was the juiciest, most tender version of this distinctive
red/orange-colored classic, which takes its name from the charcoal clay oven in
which it's cooked, that I've come across. Also delicious was the chicken tikka
masala, a thick and moderately spicy yellow curry. The cubed lamb was very tender,
in a dark brown curry with onions and a tart note of yogurt. The dessert included
in the dinner is gulab jamin, which are fried cottage cheese balls soaked in heavy
sugar syrup....more

the two months that have followed, a Taste of India seems to have already attracted
a whole new group of fans. It was unusual to see families with children in the

wafers) and tamarind dip as much as any youngsters I've seen eating at McDonald's.At
many Indian restaurants around town, that dryness becomes the plague of tandoori
foods. At Taste of India, each piece of chicken had been deeply scored before
marinating. That practice increased the surface area so the meat could absorb
more of the marinade and develop a richer flavor. It must have helped in cooking,
because the meat remained wonderfully moist....more | | -On
