Maybe six months ago, Jessica and I went to watch some jazz over at Jazz Standard on 27th street with her family. Since we arrived a bit early we went for a walk around the area, a.k.a Curry Hill and stumbled upon a hole in the wall joint, with delicious aroma wafting into the street. We stopped in and for a dollar or two left with a delicious meatcicle-like item.

Well recently, I've been consulting in that neighborhood again, and for lunch today, a friend and I wandered down Lexington and I re-discovered the hole in the wall, and found it's name to be New NaimatKada New NaimatKada. Abdul, the really nice guy up front / owner, helped us to the menu, and we both selected the Tandoori Lunch Special for $8.50. This gigantic meal includes a vast plate of standard Indian basmati rice, two large chunks of murg tandoor kebab (chicken pieces cooked in a tandoor on a skewer, then covered in a delicious yogurt-based sauce); an entire tandoori chicken leg; one of the kefta kebabs (ahem, the meatcicle); and a big ole nan.

The food at this Pakistani joint, which only serves Halal food, is all pre-made, but provided hot and delicious. And well worth the price! We were both stuffed, and easily could have just shared one. But I'm a fat pig, so c'est la vie. - Lon
