Joy Curry & Tandoor

Just east of Fifth Avenue, Joy Curry & Tandoor serves up Northern Indian flavors a stone’s throw from corporate Midtown. The kitchen focuses on both quick comfort bites and vegetable-forward dishes, which keeps solo diners and groups alike circling back for seconds—think curries, tandoor-roasted mains, and a handful of vegan staples. A rotating lunch counter menu means office-hour regulars always have a reason to stop in, while the same concise selections reappear for dinner in case you’re heading out after a show.

You’ll find the place down the block from the East River ferries at 148 E 46th St, New York, NY 10017. They take calls day-to-day, so dial *718-490-1277 if you’d rather hold the table ahead of time.
