"Dhamaka may be located in a big, bright food hall, but it'll provide one of the most memorable meals of your year. You’ll try dishes from four or five different regions of India—some of which are impossible to find elsewhere in New York City. You’ll also pay considerably more than you’re used to paying at a food hall (roughly $100 per person, in our experience), but you'll eat some of the best Indian food this side of Mumbai. Zig-zag from fried and grilled snacks to fragrant spiced curries—but don't forget to order the gurda kapoora, tomato-y goat kidney and testicles served with buttery pao." - neha talreja, carina finn koeppicus, bryan kim
