Forget gallons of bland chicken tikka masala congealing under a heat lamp—you know this is genuine South Asian fare the second you sit down. Made fresh in small batches, Nawab’s weekend buffet offers an ever-changing variety of authentic (well-spiced, meat-on-the-bone) dishes, served with the most perfectly puffy and chewy puri.
