No for dining in the city I usually go to Indian Row, go past all the restaurants and make a right at the end of the block, head up the stairs and to the right for my favorite cheap Indian food. For takeaway, I go to Little India in Queens, which has a huge Indian enclave. Hundreds of stores and people crowded in so close you'd swear you were in Bombay. My standard pick had been Jackson Diner -- a name so innocuous and un-Indian you just know it's the real deal (the place is crowded with locals). But now I've taken to going a few doors down and hitting Dehli Palace, also on Jackson Heights. A "cleaner" taste and a great sweets shop annex always jammed full of customers. And the food is arriving in ten minutes when I'll be watching "24" and "The Beat That My Heart Skipped."
