Indian food right across the Delaware

Props to Express-Times writer (and former Spark intern) Kelly Huth for her write-up of The Indian City Restaurant in Phillipsburg. (165 S. Main St. Indiancitynj.com — 908-859-8488.)

Lehigh Valley -- yes, P-burg, I'm including you here -- needs more Indian places. This one looks fairly typical, but there's nothing wrong with another option, especially in the eastern reaches of the region.

From Kelly's article:

Insiders eat: Vegetable Manchurian (four vegetable dumplings stir fried with fresh, hot chilies, spring onion, ginger and garlic in chef's sauce) — $4.95; Chicken Tikka Masala (boneless chicken pieces broiled in the tandoori, with cream sauce, green spices and tomatoes) — $9.95; Chicken Mango (chicken, onion, red pepper, ginger, garlic and diced mango) — $9.95; Achari Kabab (hot, spicy chicken tenders marinated in yogurt and pickled spices, baked in clay oven with jaggery) — $9.95; Malai Kofta (mixed vegetables and cottage cheese dumplings cooked in a mild butter, tomato and cream gravy) — $8.95; Goa Salmon Curry (fresh salmon, coconut and mustard seeds in a coastal curry) — $13.95; Seafood Mela (fish, prawn, scallops and calamari in a spicy curry sauce) — $14.95.

My friend and I ate at Indian City Restaurant several months ago at the behest of a windshield flyer left by the owner's son on the truck. I had never had Indian before. We just a made the Saturday buffet pricing. I would recommend that any one try this great little restaurant at the Hudson St. traffic light on South Main. The goat was especially tasty.
