Profile

To the ever-expanding roster of the city’s mellifluous-sounding Indian establishments—Tabla, Tamarind, Vatan—my friend the Delhi connoisseur respectfully wishes to add Utsav Festive India Cuisine, a place already famous among midtown corporate curry hounds. The sparsely decorated dining room resembles an upscale cafeteria in some new, nameless suburb of Bombay, but the menu includes creations from all over the subcontinent, like delicious Kashmiri lamb shanks and great curling hara jhinga shrimp flavored with coriander and fresh mint.

Prix-Fixe

Daily, 5:30 p.m.–7:30 p.m.; three courses, $30

Recommended Dishes

Ginger rack of lamb, $25; chicken haryali kabab, $20
