Notable Picks
#1
Afghan House
8
A Devon Avenue Afghan kitchen built around kabobs, fragrant rice dishes, and dumplings that reward a focused order. The meal lands best when you anchor with qabuli palaw or a kabob platter, add mantu for texture, and stop before the table turns into leftovers.
Must-Try Dishes:
Qabuli palaw, Mantu dumplings, Lamb shank
What Makes it Special: Kabob-and-rice Afghan classics with dumplings and naan.
#2
R Haan Thai
8
A small, focused Thai room where the best meals start with snackable appetizers and build into one curry or noodle centerpiece. It’s strongest when you order like a regular—one signature starter, one rich soup or curry, and you stop there instead of treating it like a sampler.
Must-Try Dishes:
Khao Soi, Curry Puffs, Tom Kha
What Makes it Special: A tight Thai menu that shines on starters and one bold main.
Worthy Picks
A bakery-and-cafe counter that shines on fresh pastry case staples and coffee, with a grab-and-go flow that rewards early visits. Treat it like a breakfast pit stop: one pastry, one warm baked item, and a drink—then get on with your day.
Must-Try Dishes:
Brownie heart, Spinach, mushroom & cheese croissant, Egg & veggie biscuit
What Makes it Special: A pastry-forward cafe where the baked goods are the reason to stop.
