I had a fantastic experience at Shahi Darbar in Jackson Heights. Their menu boasts genuine Mughal‑inspired classics, and their goat curry was rich without being greasy—just what you want in a hearty curry. Also, the Kathi roll was satisfyingly fresh and well-seasoned. The restaurant’s warm, welcoming vibe made it feel everything but pedestrian. A must-try for anyone craving authentic Halal cuisine. - Dr. Rajan Thapaliya
