Zohra
Open only for breakfast and lunch, Zohra's caters to the 9-to-5 crowd with a little bit of everything a Downtown diner could possibly want: Afghan foods, American standbys, even Indian tacos. But stick with the Middle Eastern stuff. Chicken kabobs are moist and unbelievably tender, served with peas on fluffy rice. There’s also chicken salan (stewed in a rich, warm gravy heavy with cardamom and mint, among other aromatic spices), gyros and a number of vegetarian choices that come à la carte or as a meal.

Albuquerque - Far Northeast Heights
Saffron Tiger
Don’t get turned off by Saffron Tiger’s cafeteria style of service. It’s a local restaurant that’s fast in the sense that you order quickly, but this is classic Indian cuisine prepared the traditional way. There are plenty of vegetable-based and vegetarian choices—golden lentil soup is a standout, and don’t pass on the paneer dishes. For meat eaters, the lamb curry (made with local, kosher meat) is as decadent as any dish you’ll find anywhere, served in a brown gravy that’s full of disintegrated potatoes and the occasional green fleck of fresh herbs.

Taj Mahal
Sun-Thu 11am-2:30pm, 5-9:30
Fri-Sat 11am-2:30pm, 5-10pm (hours can change without notice)
Taj Mahal has some killer naan. In fact, you’ll probably ditch your fork in favor of this edible utensil, using it to scoop up mounds of delicately textured, beautifully sauced and aromatic Indian food. Wash it down with not-too-sweet hot chai, which is frequently replenished at no extra cost by the attentive service. For dessert, don’t miss the refreshing mango custard.

Taaj Palace
Outside is a strip mall, but Taaj Palace’s interior is understated elegance. Hit the buffet for various curries that are tolerably piquant (go for the goat) and fresh naan that’s soft and chewy. Returning for dinner, the saag paneer is thick and creamy, infused with a lingering zest that warms the mouth but doesn’t overstay its welcome. The samosas (fried patties stuffed with tender potato) have a nice kick to them, and tandoori chicken, pulled from hot ovens, displays a delicate spice and moistness (as all Taaj’s meats do). Wash your marathon meal down with a mango lassi on ice.

In an unassuming strip mall you’ll find Taste of India, a quaint spot dedicated to cooking up Central Indian cuisine. If you’re looking for a mango lassi and a chicken tikka masala fix, look no further. There’s plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, too.
