Essence of India

Editorial Review

If you don't want to schlep to Devon Avenue, head to this steadfast contemporary Indian spot spicily swimming in a sea of Lincoln Square's German and Italian eateries. Although those looking to sear their taste buds may consider the dishes here bland or Americanized, the naan, vindaloo, samosas and veggie dishes continue to get rave reviews. Great lunch buffet and good selection of imported Indian beer.
