Chandni Restaurant NYC: Yummy Gobi Paratha Breakfast
Chandni Indian-Pakistani restaurant on West 29th St has been on my agenda for a long time.The other day while shopping at Whole Foods Market on West 24th St around 8:30AM, hunger pangs struck me hard. I remembered reading that Chandni opens early and serves breakfast.
So off to Chandni I headed to check out its breakfast offerings.
Chandni Breakfast Menu
Chandni's breakfast menu includes a variety of Parathas and Omelette.
Breakfast MenuThough different Parathas including Gobi, Mooli, Aloo and Keema are listed on Chandni's breakfast menu, I was forced to settle for Gobi Paratha ($3.99) since it was the only one available during my visit.
Gobi Paratha
My Gobi Paratha arrived about 10 minutes after my order.
Gobi Paratha - $3.99It came with a delicious Mint/Cilantro Raitha and a cup of hot tea on the side.
Gobi Paratha - Inside StoryThe stuffing was evenly spread inside the Paratha and packed the right amount of heat and spice for Indian palates.
Gobi Paratha with Tea and RaithaIt was easily the most authentic Paratha I have had in NYC in years.
It is ironic that a Pakistani restaurant serves yummy Indian bread in NYC rather than an Indian restaurant.
Most NYC Indian restaurants dumb down on spices in their eagerness to please effete American palates resulting in spice neutered, awful, disgustingly bland Indian food.
Raitha was fresh, spicy and enhanced the taste of Gobi Paratha.
Tea was piping hot and I had no complaints with it either.
Ambiance & Service
Chandni was quiet when I walked in around 8:45AM on a chilly morning.There was just one other diner sipping tea. During my visit, two Americans came in for takeout.
A big-screen TV was showing Haj piligrims visiting Mecca in an endless loop.
Chandni NYC CounterMy Gobi Paratha order came in a large round steel tray with Paratha on a paper plate and raitha and tea on the side.
The lady and gentleman at the counter were courteous and handled my order in a professional manner - a refreshing experience since service at most NYC Indian restaurants sucks and the staff is often surly.
Chandni NYC Rating
Since Chandni is a Pakistani restaurant, they serve Beef curries (which my cow-worshipping, fellow Indians abhor).If you are passionate about good, spicy Indian food as I am, don't delay your trip to Chandni on West 29th St in NYC.
As for me, I intend to revisit Chandni soon, and this time it'll be for lunch to check out their grilled items. Chandni is open from 7:45AM to 4AM on all days.- © NYIndia.us
