Lost in the shuffle is this little Indian hole in the wall, offering a good variety of made-to-order Indian food that become the late night sensation for many cabbies and night owls alike. This section of Hell's Kitchen is mainly composed of a mesh of industrial businesses and gas stations, which makes places like this on 10th Avenue all the more difficult to find.
The food is not that impressive and anything in Jackson Heights would blow this place out of the water. Samosas are coated with a little too much grease and not enough flavor. For the most part, curries are a little bland but are fairly spicy. Palak Paneer is edible but what isn't is the Khadi Pakora, which was borderline disgusting.
Prices are solid and surprisingly they accept credit cards. None of the entrees will cost more than $10 each and their lunch combinations are a good deal. I wish they were on SeamlessWeb or DeliveryDOTcom but appearing on there is unlikely as they don't own a computer. The setup in the place is similar to a food court style buffet, where they just assemble platters at one's request with a few spots to sit. The food seems to be the most fresh during lunch time, which would be my preferred time to order.
To Desi Junction's credit, it is one of the only places in the area that is open though it is one of the few Indian joints that are open past midnight on weeknights. Though it is a real shame, I think I'll just stick with the diners instead.
