New York, New York...
So there is nothing about this place that actually screams New York, apart from the mural of the Statue of Liberty against the wall, but New Yorker gets a round of applause for a good effort at trying to recreate some otherwise hard-to-find cuisines anywhere in India. Their staple/USP seems to be Mexican, as most every table had a plate of enchiladas on them. I unfortunately was in no form ready to gobble up a plate of heavy, cheesy enchiladas, but I must say, they did look as authentic as I've seen in Bombay. The place seems to be a 50/50 mix of family outings and gossipy college students.
Our table's meal consisted of a make-it-yourself pasta dish (penne with tomato sauce and some vegetables); an amritsari channa with kulcha (something like that); spicy hummus with pita (my dish); and mexican pasta salad (waaah? when did Italy and Mexico cross paths?). The pasta, I was told, tasted a bit "desi", if you will, but was otherwise enjoyable. The channa lacked salt and flavor, but the pan-fried whole green mirchi made up for it. No idea on the pasta salad, but the hummus and pita (hard to screw up) was enjoyable.
All in all, we had a good meal here, and it wasn't too hard on the pocket (some 650 odd bucks) either. If ever in this area and you're looking for a good mix of Mexican or Sizzler/wannabe Lebanese type stuff, this is your joint.
