I live in the neighborhood and have been visiting Indigo for over 10 years. I have tried many NYC Indian restaurants, the expensive ones and many of the 6th street restaurants. My favorite restaurant is Indigo. Their basmati rice is light and fluffy, their curries are robust and soothing. Indigo has a fresh salad bar on the side so you can help yourself to cucumber, mint chutney and yogurt. Indigo has an all you can eat buffet for under ten dollars, which includes all you can eat naan and chicken tandoori fresh from the oven. They have fish on the menu, which you usually only find in the more expensive restaurants. The ambiance at Indigo is warm and clean, the service is genuinely friendly. I honestly can't think of a restaurant in NYC that is as generous. I honestly think I would have to go to India to find a restaurant as good as Indigo.
