Laba

A dhaba in New York isn’t what you’d expect. Laba brings the roadside charm of South Asian comfort food to a stretch of West 28th Street that’s quietly becoming a go-to for late dinners. The place keeps it simple—casual seating, straightforward service, and a menu built for solo diners or small groups who just want a solid meal without fuss.

The address is 300-200 W 28th St, New York, NY 10001, tucked between midtown’s office towers and the garment district’s after-hours buzz. It’s the kind of spot where the food does the talking, whether you’re stopping by after work or making a detour from the usual downtown circuit. Dine-in is the only option here, so plan accordingly—no takeout, no delivery, just plates meant to be eaten on the spot.

If you’re heading over, the map will get you there: directions here. For anything else, give them a call. The neighborhood’s mix of old-school delis and new-wave eateries makes it easy to pair a visit with other errands or a stroll, especially once the evening crowd thins out.
