Description

This unassuming spot offers soulful, traditional Gujarati specialties. Go for a thali, or check out the Gujarati snacks that can be found only at a handful of other New York restaurants. Two popular chickpea-based treats--dhokla and khandvi--are done well, the first a fluffy steamed cake made from fermented chickpea flour and topped with mustard seeds and green chiles, the second a pasta-like treat, the delicate yellow noodles rolled into spirals. The front room of the restaurant is occupied by a small sweets shop, stocked with homemade mithai, or Indian confections, some of the best you can get in New York.

  • 2010 | Sarah DiGregorio's Top 10: No. 3

    Bhojan means "home-cooked meal," and the restaurant's vegetarian Gujarati thali lives up to its moniker. The stainless-steel platter holds a score of little dishes around its circumference, the middle of the plate occupied by a pile of white rice, an airy puri, and a bit of pickle. One bowl is filled with a thin, white potage of warm, spiced yogurt, a dish typical of the region. It has the consistency of water but a tangy, milky, assertive flavor; it's best poured over rice and eaten,... More »

    Best of NYC: Our Critics List Their 10 Favorite Dishes

    By Robert Sietsema, Sarah DiGregorio, and Rebecca Marx | Wed, October 20, 2010

    Robert Sietsema's Top 10 1. This doesn't mean I'm forsaking my first love, Katz's pastrami, but the smoked-meat sandwich at Mile End is denser, redder, and offered in a sandwich that's just the right size for one person to eat, which means I don'... More »

    At Bhojan, Indian Spring

    By Sarah DiGregorio | Tue, April 13, 2010

    The word "bhojan" connotes a simple, home-cooked meal in Hindi, but looking around the shiny new Lexington Avenue restaurant of the same name made me doubt that anything as miraculous as homestyle food was going to emerge from the kitchen. The pla... More »
