"New York’s neighborhoods are dotted with Indian takeout spots that serve a rotation of standards like chicken tikka masala and saag paneer. Adda, in Long Island City, Queens is not part of this club. Run by Roni Mazumdar of Rahi and executive chef Chintan Pandya, Adda offers, as they say, “‘unapologetically’ authentic Indian food.” That includes the housemade paneer. There’s also junglee maas, or goat curry, and snacks that come with a fair warning on the menu: “highly addictive.”" - Emily Saladino, Devra Ferst
