One of over 100 locations across South Asia, Moti Mahal Delux is New York's import of the international Indian eatery. Located in the heart of the Upper East Side, Moti Mahal Delux is renowned for its unrivaled tandoori chicken and signature "butter chicken," which is served in a velvety sauce of creamy tomato, but also offers a menu packed with delectable Indian dishes from different regions around the country.
Moti Mahal's takes diners on a journey back to the Mughal Empire, when chefs used the tandoor, or clay oven, for cooking chicken, and boasts dishes such as kadi patta jheenga, kaali daal, and masala (a fragrant curry prepared with a choice of goat brain, crab, chicken, or shrimp).
