Transcript
So this struggling family owned Indian restaurant asked the Internet for help to save their business. Well, I just so happen to be in the mood for Indian good, so come with me to Queens. Nabia was started by two sisters whose family's lifelong dream was to open an Indian restaurant in New York City. I went with some friends and we ordered a feast. Starting off with the Good Manchurian. Crispy pieces of cauliflower tossed in a tangy chili and garlic sauce. These were packed with flavor. Onto the thundery chicken. Juicy, smoky, and basically falling off the bone. And, of course, it wouldn't be an Indian food review without some chicken tikka masala, which was perfectly spiced with cubes of tender all white chicken, which I paired with their loaded cheesy naan, 10 out of 10. We also got the lamb rogan josh and malaikoff though, which are basically cheesy potato dumplings. Highly recommend better or not you're vegetarian. This is truly a family owned operation. Their mom was actually our server on the day we best, so please be patient if you do go. I can promise you the food is worth it.
