There's "no need to go to London – let alone India" – thanks to this curry-savvy East Side mini-chain purveying "real-deal" dishes with heat levels ranging from "mild to crazy hot" (the "fiery phaal" requires "extra napkins to wipe away the sweat and tears"); like the decor, the tabs are distinctly "low budget."
