I have been to this spot a few times for weekend brunch but it was always a little to crowded for me. I recently started working in the area and have since made 202 my regular lunch spot! The tuna burger is so good and if you feel like really treating yourself; try the french toast...its sinful! I just recently learned they are also open for dinner! I think it would be a great date spot.
Pros: French Toast
Cons: crowded on weekend brunch

this is the best Indian food in the world, treat yourself to a good time and take a few friends to Agra! Dont be in a hurry because the service is laid back(but attentive), the food is worth the wait. You couldnt find better mutter paneer if you tried!

Whenever I go near the Columbia campus, I try to make the trip to Ajanta. While the decor needs some redecorating, the food is what I come in for. Try the chicken tandoori which is really flavorful without being too dry. Another interesting thing about this indian restaurant is that it is one of few that offer indian dishes with beef (if you dislike lamb). Service is above average and I rarely have to wait to get seated.

I had a hard time convincing my wife to try every Indian restaurant in the neighborhood before declaring one our favorite. We had dinner at AM once or twice before beginning the Indian dinner challenge and having come full circle, trying every other Indian joint within walking/delivery range, Alachi Masala wins.
There is a more than tangible difference in the flavor and overall quality. It is hands down the most delicious on UWS. Fresh ingredients, perfectly blended spices, generous portions, you cant ask for more. Moreover, the host could not be a nicer guy. Every time you go in, even if its just to pick up food, he smiles at you and tells you its nice to see you again. NYC has made me even more cynical, yet when he offers a handshake and a welcome I believe him.
I cannot recommend Alachi Masala more; it is now one of my favorite restaurants.
Pros: Delicious food, friendly service

Take out from Amin (the lunch special is terrific) is always a delight -- excellent basmati, luscious curries, great nan, paratha and "onion fritters." Seafood curries in particular are delectable, and the service is always polite.

We made a reservation at Amma during Restaurant Week. That said, we knew going into it not to have high expectations....boy, were we blown away by not only the food but the stellar, attentive service!
We started with the Tomato Rasam and Mughlai Chicken Shorba soups. The tomato soup had a wonderful afterburn and a terrific layering of flavors. The chicken soup was good, but lacked any real flavor other than chicken.
We chose the Cochin Crab Cakes (chef spices and ginger infused golden crusted patties) and Kesari Malai Tikka (chicken breast in saffron yogurt marination) appetizers and both were just wonderful. The crab cakes were light and packed with crab flavor and the malai chicken had a nice delicate flavor.
For our main course, we chose Stuffed Chicken Breast (garam masala, paneer onion tomato sauce) and Tandoori Lamb Chops (ginger garlic yogurt marination); both were served with naan, raita, Manchurian cauliflower and jackfruit biryani. The raita was fantastic! I really enjoyed the subtle spicing of the chicken and while I did not prefer the lamb (I just don't really like the flavor of some of the gamier meats) my beau declared it delicious. The other standout was the Manchurian cauliflower...we are always trying to come up with new and interesting preparations for cauliflower and this one was amazing!
We finished our meal with a trio of Kulfi and the mango cheesecake. I am a self-declared cheesecake connoisseur and the mango cheesecake was divine. The Kulfis were good as well, there was a trio of original (pistachio) flavor, strawberry and mango. While the fruit flavors were nice, I really loved the pistachio best.
We paired our meal with the optional wine flight which included a white, a red and a dessert wine. The staff was unfailingly gracious and attentive, and we truly felt as though we were their top priority. I would highly recommend Amma for great upscale Indian food.
