A big part of being a good host/tour guide in the Big Apple involves introducing out-of-towners to some good food. New York has every cuisine under the sun, and we do most (if not all) of them well. When my mother came to visit last month from Greece, I felt it was my Gotham duty to take her to as many exotic eateries as possible. We were tackling Asian culinary arts during week two, so we had to check out Seva in Astoria for some of the best Indian food in the outer boroughs.
The venue, located on 34th Street and 30th Avenue is small but cozy. It’s so tiny in fact that the entire kitchen and restrooms are tucked below ground. The wait staff is extremely friendly and attentive, and the food is simply phenomenal. Before learning about this place, I would trek to Jackson Heights, Manhattan and even Hoboken for great Indian grub. But now it’s in my back yard. And I like that.
Check out Seva next time you’re in the mood for some expertly prepared Eastern deliciousness.
