I love Lungi! The food was fantastic. My favorites were the egg hopper and the Nandu Chaaru, which is a cilantro/crab soup. The tables are quite close together and last night, we had a great conversation with people next to us, including a man visiting from Australia. We even shared food! I will come again.

The food at BAZI is outstanding. We make a point of having dinner at BAZI every time we come to NY from Boston. Every dish is delicious so it is difficult to chose. This trip we had the lamb ka akulfBarraeh, Paratwala kofta, Darib ka kulfa, rice and raita. Everything was Terrific. We ate on the early side-around 6:30- and the noise level was civilized with conversation easy.
