ok, can somebody please explain to me wtf just happened... by cranberrygoddess
I went to Jackson Heights on the way home from the Hall of Science on the 7 train in the hope of getting some Indian food for ‘lunch’ (defined by the fact that it was the second meal of the day, not because it was at 5-6pm), and I saw spanish restaurants, chinese restaurants, Thai restaurants, Vietnamese restaurants, Malaysian restaurants… everything but Indian restaurants. Then we walked for a while in the direction of Elmhurst, and everything was chinese restaurants, we walked back to the Jackson Heights station on the 7 train, and gave up and had spanish/hispanic/central american/latin american/whatever you want to call it food. It was fantastic food, cheap, the staff were all beautiful, and I think I was the only anglo in there lol. Oh and the guava juice was possibly the best I have ever had.
But despite this, could someone tell me where you go to get actual Indian food in Jackson Heights (coming from the 7 train)? Is it just a myth that Jackson Heights has good Indian food?
edit: Looking at this site, I think maybe I should have gotten off at the 74th street stop, rather than the 82nd. That Anand Bhavan place someone’s posted looks good, mmm masala dosa and thali, yum :P I wish I’d come to the faithful 43places before going out. Oh well, at least I had an adventure :)
