If you’ve ever walked down Eight Street near Metropolis in Midtown then you’re already familiar with the tempting aroma that comes wafting from Blue India. But it’s not some advertising trick luring you under false pretenses—the Indian dishes here are that packed with intense, delicious flavors. The tandoor-cooked meats come out still sizzling on a hot plate, and the lamb rogan josh has a rich, dark sauce with a hint of mint that helps cut the spiciness. In fact, there are more than 20 different curries to choose from (which makes choosing hard since we've not found a bad one yet). Dark blue booths and accent walls give the space a moody feel, even during the daytime. So hit this spot during lunch or a casual dinner when good, well-seasoned food is important.
